And pes is pretty much profit since they only have to pay a few licenses and own the game engine. It's why they put out a f2p version a few months after launch. Konami won.  The worst part is that isn't shinkawa art.

Does it bother anyone else that all these retro games are named like ACA Neo Geo Arcade Archives SEGA Ages: Game Name? Even after you buy it, on the home screen? I don't want ACA Neo Geo Mark of the Wolves on my home screen. I want Mark of the Wolves. I don't want SEGA Ages Phantasy Star. I want Phantasy Star.

IDK about the switch port but as for PC it is punishing and frustrating but certainly an amazing platformer/exploration thing if you can put up with that The controls are... they're not bad but they're awkward and not quite what you think they are at first blush, so that's probably part of it Basically I recommend buying Rain World as long as you wouldn't describe yourself as "impatient"

How is the Genesis collection? I have no nostalgia for Sega, would it still be enjoyable?

Currently 10 hours into PS4. It got better when I printed out what the spells and techs did. The macro system is neat. The rest of the catalog seems like a ton of Double Dragon style brawlers in different flavors and some Sonic games, which are good. So depending on how much you love those.

PS4 is a stand out winner and a fine example of a good classic JRPG (and one that I remember being one hundred loving dollars retail, i still have no idea how the hell I had that as a kid). The rest of the series kinda needs nostalgia or a sense of historical interest to play, IMO

I wish the collection Phantasy Stars had the Sega Ages PS feature of being able to bring up a list that describes the magic and items, that thing's been absurdly useful in trying to remember what all the weirdly named stuff in the game does.

It's really dedicated to making you a prey animal in an independent ecosystem full of hungry predators and it's not really a game you can rush or try to brute force your way through. It's one of my favourite games period and I think it's incredibly rewarding if you like exploration and can be really get into that cautious, kind of sneaky mindset and yeah lol hopefully it appears on the store soon, it and Hollow Knight are the only games I'm gunna double-dip for probably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPJXi-zCJ6s Knorth fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Dec 13, 2018 |

I won't lie I'm considering a double dip too Partly for portability, partly because something about that game, Steam, and controllers just refuse to play nice on my PC, I have to do an astonishing amount of fiddly bullshit to make it work almost every time I launch it so it would be nice to have it just work

With game development costs skyrocketing it's astounding that taking into account inflation, the standard $60 for a new release means games keep getting cheaper to buy. Though I guess that's why companies deem it a failure when a game "only" sells millions of copies

I thought Pachinko took a poo poo with Japan opening up gambling laws so people have things to gamble on other than quasi-legal pinball bullshit. I also heard that's why Konami is putting more attention into video games and their video game licenses lately

Last I checked the Japanese casino laws were really restrictive for Japanese people. Like citizens have to pay a tax just to be allowed into the casino and can only visit so often, in an attempt to discourage gambling addiction. The casinos are mainly meant for tourists, the average everyday gambler still has to make due with pachinko

Oscar Wild posted:This should be the thread title. Nintendo Swinch: Everything should be ported to Swinch! Also, with regards to the Sega Bundle, Shining Force and Shining Force 2 are wonderful, Beyond Oasis is a very nice Aladdin-esque top-down action adventure game, almost feels like LttP. Toejam & Earl 1 is worth the price of admission ALONE (shut your mouth, it is  ), and everything else is very solid. I never played Gunstar Heroes much, but from what I remember, it's very solid, and a lot of people absolutely love it.I just wish that someone would port Crusader of Centy/Soleil to some newer platform  Seriously, if you enjoyed LttP even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to play that drat game. So loving good, and it would fit in so perfectly well in this collection.

BattleMaster posted:What's crazy is that $100 US in 1993 is $175 now. I think one thing people keep forgetting is increased competition. People buy more games, movies etc. and their budgets are competed for differently than in the past. Games aren't worth 60 in 1993 dollars because there was maybe a handful of worthwhile games to get a year back in the day and fewer media outlets requiring fees or subscriptions. If the competition were this intense for people's media dollars back in 1993, games would have probably been 40 or so dollars instead at the high end.

So this Taiwanese soap opera shows the Switch as supporting Internet browsing and voice chat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2JERN7mXgc&t=459s But it got me thinking: Is a plastic case like shown in this video worth it? Do any of you use a plastic case for the Switch? Or would that make it difficult/impossible to put in the dock? Any concerns about causing it to overheat due to the plastic covering + dock or would the Switch be fine?

notthegoatseguy posted:So this Taiwanese soap opera shows the Switch as supporting Internet browsing and voice chat: I got a gimmicky but highly rated back case that was rubberized and allegedly made it easier to hold. Honestly, i think those products are all terrible. It's a relatively inexpensive device, so wrapping it in plastic or other casing just makes it imbalanced and "heavy" feeling, and hardly protects it at all. I don't know of any case that can be docked in the official dock either but even if they could I wouldn't do it, because it's not designed for it.

I love practically everything you said here. Ecosystem, predators, prey animal, exploration. But I did not like what I saw in that video. Looks like too much action and I'm really not fond of the aesthetic. I thought it would be more organic and natural. Not urban and mechanical looking.

Inzombiac posted:How is the Genesis collection? If you like beat em ups, Streets of Rage 2 is still worth playing. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine is a fun puzzle game. Gunstar Heroes is a fun action shooter. Sonic 2 might be fun if you like 2d platformers. I enjoy Toejam and Earl but that might not fun if you have no nostalgia. If you like JRPGs you may like the Phantasy Star games. Some people enjoy Beyond Oasis as a 2d Zelda style game, I have no nostalgia for it and could never get into the game when I got it for the Wii. Maybe watch a few videos, it's hard to say how much you will like the games but depending on preferences some are still worth playing.

Looks like too much action and I'm really not fond of the aesthetic. I thought it would be more organic and natural. Not urban and mechanical looking. It's kind of a mix, generally severely overgrown and post-apoc urban but it's about a slugcat in a place that is very not made for slugcats so yknow, no tranquil forests or anything lol. The trailer definitely emphasised more action than honestly happens in the minute-to-minute gameplay, actually trying to fight the predators is mostly a very dangerous idea and should generally be avoided, but it does happen and it is intense. The Monk character they showed in it does have a quieter, even more solitary playthrough though if that's what you're after
