Re: Videogame News

I think you may be misrepresenting the issue. The argument is not that loot boxes should be protected as a valid artistic choice, it's "Once various governments will have gotten a taste of controlling the contents of entertainment products, who will stop them when they start crossing the line ...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

I got Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, Zelda and Bomberman.

I have two questions about the Switch.

Is there a way to tell how much charge your Joycons have left? I haven't been able to find one yet.

How do you find your specific friend code (or whatever it's called) to add people to play online?

Re: Videogame News

Microtransactions should not be in games. Period. They are predatory and anti-consumer. If it takes the government getting involved to get rid of them, so be it. Last time the government attempted to get involved with video games, we ended up with the ESRB. If it takes creating a regulatory body to ...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

I thought we were talking about character design and aesthetics, not anime, so I'm a bit confused. I don't mean to be argumentative, but it's something I'm a bit weary of. I've been seeing it as far as as when FFX came out and people were making "Tidus is Meg Ryan" jokes. "Take the op...

Re: The Nintendo news and discussion thread

I want to give the games a try as the worlds look wonderful, but every time I see the character designs and the clothing they wear I just can’t. I can do melodrama, but when everyone looks like they’ve walked out of a fetish club, I’m just taken completely out of the story. Why is this kind of thin...

Re: Gaming as a Parent / Raising little Gamers

I can already hear the playground mums and dads who can't stop them playing COD (but that is a much wider debate). I will never forget being at my parent's neighbours one Xmas Eve for a neighbourhood get together, and hearing one of the dads talk about how terrible GTA Vice City was after he had bo...

I didn't mean to single you out specifically, sorry!

I just see that sentiment all the time, and I hate it that turn based rpgs are dying.

Re: Dragon's Dogma

I'd forgotten how hard this game is. Hit a brick wall and wasn't able to make any progress for a while.

Got some new equipment and I've finally made some headway, but I've got Reynard following me around and the stupid git keeps getting killed.

Re: Persona 5

I'm not big into the turn based combat It absolutely kills me when people say this. I am so goddamned sick of action rpgs. It's getting harder and harder to find turn based combat games on console rather than handheld, and it's all the fault of these ADD "turn based is too slow" gamers wh...

Re: Videogame News

Having read it though, I will say it certainly doesn't seem like they're lying about anything. The bottom line is if they thought they would see a return on their investment they wouldn't have cancelled it. The problem with this is "return on their investment" equals gouging consumers for...

Never mind, I'm not reading the bloody article. I don't need to. It's not worth having to put on my rubber boots to wade through a river of publisher BS.
