Banning Switch from online use, not bricking them, or banning the account.

Only mentioning this since most people won't read the actual article, and the little summary lemmy shows talk about the bricking console part of the EULA.

I believe it's a fair price. The game is old now, but it's still the same game. It was worth $50 (or was it $60?) when it was released, and it's worth $30 now, IMO.

I have been brainwashed about old game prices by Nintendo though, so not sure if everyone will agree with this 😀

People are happy that the game is running better on Switch 2, but I haven't seen any actual praise for the studio.

It's internet though, there are people with every possible opinion, so there might be some praising Game Freak, but that sentiment isn't shared by most people, as far as I can see.

Heh, I think it's just because this is around the time the mass reddit exodus happened, so lots of people signed up in these dates, meaning lots of cake days!

Chocolate and Orange is a great combination. I want one now too!

I don't buy physical so don't care about pre-order bonuses, but would love to just get that barrel thingy. Found some at etsy, but the finishing doesn't look that great.

My friends that have PS VR2 recommended me to not buy it, and just get Meta Quest 3 if I want to get a VR system.

Not a Meta fan in general so don't want to buy their product, but will look at their next revision (rumoured to be coming next year) and then decide.

Happy Cake Day!

Seeing lots of cakes these days 😀

So they made this from scratch. That seems like a big undertaking.

Is that your picture? Cause I love that DK pen stand!

[–] slimerancher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Same here. While I was originally interested just because of DK (I like him as a character), after watching the direct (well, skimming the first 5 mins of the direct, since I prefer to go in as blind as possible) I am really excited about the game, and plan to get it day 1!

Interesting. I haven't seen any reviews my self, but heard that it's getting kinda bombed. I like the devs, so glad that you are liking it.

Well, theoretically speaking, you can start posting them and set up Patreon account? I am sure there's some kind of niche for this in game journalism, but no idea if it's big enough that it will actually be worth the time.

(Or we can just get cm0002 to post some article like this and send you the link every time there's a new investor's call. 🫣 )

 

Coming in 2026

 

Release date: TBA

 

Releasing September 26!


So, this is after Atelier Yumia, right?

 

Finished Chatper 10 of Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition !

Now doing side missions etc to level up for chapter 11. I noticed my play time is about 70 hours. Didn't realise that I have played this much. It feels like I should be still be around 30 hours or so. Which shows that even with all the complaints I had about the game, I am still enjoying it so much that I didn't notice the time.

Played some more Marvel's Midnight Suns.

I recall reading interview of the Firaxis guys (forgot their name) about how they wanted the people to play aggressively and that's why they added timer in X-Com 2. If you don't clear the mission in that time, some very strong enemies join the battle.

Midnight Suns fortunately doesn't have that, but each turn enemy get reinforcements. They are all one-hit kill, but when you have only 3 attack (some cards give you free attack if you kill in one hit), it means you have to be aggressively attack all the other enemies, or you will just keep fighting until you die.

Not a big fan of this, but it is much better than the X-Com 2 solution, IMO, which gave me too much pressure and I wasn't able to enjoy the game. This is not too big of a deal here, but still a slight annoyance.

Also played some more Ghost of Tsushima.

Just slowly exploring the second area and clearing territories and anything I come across.

What about all of you? What have you been playing and/or plan to play?
