I mean there's scenarios where you probably want companies to be able to have some say in this so you don't have people posting guides on how to crash everyone else's game in splatoon 3 or something.

but it sucks nintendo uses these powers for lovely reasons.

Pretty much every company does. My own personal bugbear is how lovely it is that companies can punish people for streaming legitimately purchased copies of games before their release date. (And of course I understand the logic, they don't want to encourage people to start getting early copies and spoiling everything for internet clout despite that already happening.)

(Well, my top bugbear is how FAQs and guides have been replaced by partitioned off Discord serves but that's something else entirely.)

Hi thread, I'm looking for a recommendation for someone who previously very much enjoyed:

Animal Crossing
Stardew Valley
Dredge

Going to go ahead and say nothing anime/VN, and things that require a ton of manipulation of the right stick for camera movement or quick reactions to things. No shooters or fighting games. Anything creative and lighthearted/fun is probably the best bet. Thanks goons.

Subnautica, but get it on the PC if you can for mods, otherwise Switch version is mostly fine.

I mean, it sucks when a big new title gets spoiled cause someone was able to get Joe Mom and Pop Video games to break street date. I think it'd be unreasonable for companies to punish people for playing before street date, but I don't think "dont stream before release day" is too much to ask.

But what's lame is the companies that extend "spoiler style" policy well past street date and pretty much go after any footage of certain games or have really prohibitive rules with what you can stream/record and can''t. I think Atlus is particularly lame about this?

I've seen a few Atlus titles that had those rules for Twitch for at least 6 months post launch. I think one game might have gone for a full year. But I'm not too sure on that part. They're the weirdest ones. I've also had PS4 games that would eventually patch to remove the "screen cannot be recorded" segments in games. They woudl be everywhere in soem games. But I would play them again years later and notice they were just missing now.

a lot of atlus games have those rules but I'm pretty sure that by and large they weren't enforced in any meaningful sense.

I recall there was apparently a time they were taking down streams/lets plays of the Persona games so a bunch of people just didn't bother since it wasn't worth the risk.

I think even the first three(especially the first, it's just fun to play through) will be pretty dang playable with these features:

Turn off random encounters: Sometimes you just want to explore in peace, so a feature in the Pixel Remaster games lets you turn off random encounters completely. This means you can roam the world without being harassed by monsters. That also means you won’t get stronger, so be careful how you use it…

Adjust experience: Speaking of getting stronger, want to speed things up a little? Boost features let you adjust the experience gained by up to four times. Perfect if you want an easier run through the games.

Yeah, Persona 5 was the first time I remember this popping up in a major way. A quick Google tells me they apparently gave very few fucks when it came to streaming the recent P3 and P4 ports, at least.

You can't use the screenshot function at all in late game segments of Persona/SMT games on the Nintendo Switch, which has me mildly peeved whenever I want to record a neat animation or good quote for my own personal album. :mad:

Persona 5 blocked certain scenes from being recordered on the ps4 as well, it's weird I'd never seen a game block specific segments like that before

2 had the most broken combos, 3 is more balanced.

I don't remember what the level design was like in 2, but 3 had so much loving backtracking and reusing of areas that it's absurd.

Celtic mythology, I believe, but the Japanese seem quite fond of highly stereotyped German/Austrian medieval fantasy characters to the point where it could have some impact as well.

Was 3 the one where red mages were a bit unbalanced, as in being almost as good at both melee and black/white magic as more specialized classes?

Yeah but apparently they re balanced the Pixel Remasters a bit so stuff like that doesn't happen anymore. That being said it's still based on the orignal versions so Ninja/Sage and are still blatantly better then most other classes (except for Onion Knight if you are crazy enough to grind that out), but go back to being locked until right before the final dungeon.

2 or 3 are good but 6 is my pick for most polished, fun Battle Network. I also enjoy 5 but it's not anywhere near the best. 1 and 4 are not worth playing much--1 is just a snooze, and 4 is bad, though I heard they had some minor improvements for 4.

Ninja is still the best physical class but Sage is kind of a sidegrade in PR
