its not another minecraft ripoff version like the last one?

no thankfully. There was some legal struggle with the name, the "real" harvest moon is now called Story of Seasons (or Song of Seasons, can't remember)

Wasn't there some kind of controversy about a recent HM game? Two Towns or something?

i seem to recall some ordeal about having to change the name of the series or

yea thats exactly what we're discussing, i assume natsume wanted to try and cash in on the name with the latest installment. it wasn't Two Towns but it was pretty forgettable.

1 - pretty good for its time, compared to similar games like dragon quest. obviously way too much grinding by today's standards
2 and 3 - i forgot about these ones, i never played them really
4 - good for its time, glitchy as all hell toward the end, to the point where you have to save before leveling
5 - preposterous in all ways but the job system is really, really fun
6 - one of the best at keeping you engaged
7 - it's pretty good but has too long of an aggravating tutorial in midgar and most of the sidequests, including chocobo racing, are tedious
8 - let's you screw around with the mechanics really quickly but stops being interesting after you get eden
9 - i already said
10 - it's good.
12 - actually decent. it took the fact that the games basically play themselves during combat (with all the work being beforehand, setting up contingencies and leveling trees) and took that to its logical conclusion.

im sorry about your severe, crippling video game autism

there is a meme video game, and it has been taken down because someone issued a DMCA for the ownership of a meme used therein. this is all news to me and i am blown away by it all.

quote:

EDIT: Some people want proof that I am who I claim to be (though I'm not sure why anyone would care to impersonate me), so I added a status update to my deviantArt that I haven't used in forever. http://whynne.deviantart.com/

Hello Reddit. There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding the disappearance of Meme Run from the eShop, so I thought I'd help clear things up since its creator doesn't seem to want to acknowledge it publicly.

A handful of you might remember me, but (hopefully) most of you probably have no clue who I am. To keep it brief, I own the copyright to the Trollface image, and seeing as the image was the 'star' of Meme Run, I sent a DMCA takedown notice to Nintendo and want to try and settle the matter amicably. I don't really intend to have a discussion on fair use or explain my motivations beyond the fact that my business with other parties compels me to make sure that instances of copyright infringement are addressed and resolved. Typically the result in these matters is simply having the use of the image be credited, recovering some kind of monetary compensation, or simply have it removed from the work.

To that end, takedown notices are a necessary first step to quickly open a direct line of communication with the offending party and work on remedying the situation.

I did try to reach out to the creator earlier this year and obtain the information I needed, but he claimed that he was not at liberty to speak about his relationship with Nintendo or any of the particulars regarding the game's sales data. My lawyer had been busy working on another case (which I am actually not at liberty to talk about lest I void the terms of our agreement) and I prefer to let him handle the matter of my legal representation, so I sort of dragged my feet on actually setting this in motion so he could wrap up our current case.

So, whatever you may have thought of Meme Run, its absence might only be temporary. For those of you who were hoping to pick it up and missed their opportunity, I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

honestly i don't think meme run or the trollface person getting it taken down is remarkable enough to even discuss.

the only thing i'd ever want to know is who approved it for the eShop to begin with

this is what i'm wondering. is there any standard for games that get on there? what other kinds of bizarre titles have made their way into the previously-unsullied e-shop

not much if so, since they said out the gate they were announcing it very early on and wanted to finish The Witcher 3 before it goes into full production

we know it's a game based on the game Cyberpunk and it's being made by CD Projekt Red and that's enough to conclude that it's going to be fully and completely The poo poo

I'm hell of hyped for The Witcher 3 btw, I re-read The Last Wish and I'm probably going to buy Sword of Destiny. Probably the only game that I'm really sure I'm going to play coming up other than Bloodborne

i am extremely prepared for the witcher 3. geralt is my bae.
