Al Borland Corpse posted:Hey maybe they learned their lesson, after they did the same with Chrono Trigger on Steam and everyone complained so much that they actually fixed it Nope. Though supposedly the dumb FF6 mobile port on steam has/had a GBA ROM buried in it so  Literally the only upside to the mobile port of FF6 is they finally made Cyan's SwdTech skills charge *after* you select them rather than the "sit here and waste your entire team's actions" setup they originally gave his skills for some insane reason. And I'm sure there are romhacks for the SNES and GBA versions for that fix. Steve Yun posted:I will fully own up to being unreasonable about it because everything else about the game seemed fine. At first I thought you meant Hotto and how everyone spoke in Haiku but then I remembered the place you're referring to and yeah, the writing just managed to do it well without coming across as (too) forced. The Haikus were better though.

Nintendo is extremely good and I hope they continue to ruin lives for bad videogame internet people Phrosphor posted:Is it normal for review embargo's for console games to be right up to the release date? Most devs that have a lot of confidence in their games will usually have embargo lifted a few days before release. Game reviews not going live til the day of isn't always a sign that the game will be bad (like Bethesda for instance, who has the loving worst media relations team in existence and almost tanked gamed like Prey and DOOM due to this practice) it's certainly a cautionary thing to look out for. The chance the game sucks is def greater for a "day of" embargo than the ones that release reviews much earlier in advance.

Child of Light is a fun RPG with some co-op* with beautiful painted backdrops and a fighting system wholesale lifted from the Grandia which is absolutely not a bad thing. The rhyming thing is gently caress awful but if you play RPG games for the plot you get what you deserve. *Don't know if the switch version has it

I beat The Way tonight and boy howdy did that game go to poo poo at the end. Retro-flavored games should not make the switch chug. The first two thirds were a lot of fun, though!

Psst hey everyone, The Missing is really really good so far and I'm enjoying it. I didn't get too far into it, but the mechanics of the puzzle solving are about as cool and interesting as they are disturbing. The wrecking ball area was especially cool to figure out.

They also don't come with dialog skip or fast-forward or some equivalent which is genuinely dissapointing. I don't care about FFV's plot, I'm here to try some dumb new combination.

It used to be that a review embargo right up to the release date was a bad sign, but a lot of companies now do this out of principle so it's absolutely not necessarily the case any more.

Phrosphor posted:Is it normal for review embargo's for console games to be right up to the release date? That Starlink game comes out tomorrow (16th) unless I am reading things wrong and I can't anything but previews of the first half an hour of gameplay. It looks like fun if you get the digital edition, but I don't want to go for something that is super shallow as I think it is going to turn out to be. The lack of reviews the day before it comes out adds to my concern considerably. I wouldn't dare preorder anything these days, especially from Ubi, but am I just out of touch or is weird that no reviews have been published yet. It's normal for review embargo to be day before release

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo5faKUavIQ Seen this and the GameXplain review, general unleasing seem to be good gameplay, great looking well produced worlds, with the downside that the core loop could be a bit grindy and repetitive with you doing the same tasks in general to liberate areas of planets so ymmv depending on how much you like doing that kind of thing. Also both reviewers were surprised by the depth of the strategy elements

This comes down to which system you'd rather play it on, but keep in mind that it only has a digital release in the US unless you want to import a copy from Japan, which is all in english anyway.

I killed the Ender Dragon and beat(!?) minecraft for the first time ever yesterday. It was surprisingly hard, but still mostly about preparation. Edit: thats a really odd choice for console bundle. Somebody post the sicko guy, but it's 1,2, Switch and the window is mostly covered with blinds and theres a whole lot more yesses Edit: because noted mysteriously-not-a-pack-in game "1,2, Switch" is being cuckholded by other, superior pack-ins you see THE FUCKING MOON fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Oct 15, 2018 |
