Pulling a whole lot of meaning from a title card there for DQ 12. And Dragon Quest has always walked an interesting line with its more lighthearted art style and music mixed with more serious plot threads, and I doubt the new game will handle things any differently in that regard.
Edited due to minor misunderstanding.
Here's my overall impression from higher quality reviews:
- It's a pretty game, and if you're a more relaxed gamer that prefers taking in the scenery, there's a lot to get out of the game.
- It's a pretty dead world though with very sparsely populated enemy groups, which makes it difficult to take advantage of the various systems that overlap to make the combat.
- The combat is interesting, but it by and large doesn&...
You should probably look up what a CRT actually is and how it worked to understand how impractical what you're suggesting would actually be to make happen.
It's a nice feature. Hades lets you pause mid-run for example. It doesn't make the game easier. You don't gain an advantage. It just lets you more reliably step away from the game in the middle of a run.
Gaming has never been less fun than right now if you're trying to get a next gen console.
I mean, if someone wants to play it, just use the 10/10 fan translation and either buy a reproduction cart with the translated ROM on it, or just emulate. Yeah, it may not be as convenient as an official release, but after all this time, expecting an official translation is bordering on ridiculous.
You can probably blame the fact that SE likely didn't give the team all that much money for the remaster. The PC port is super low effort, the next gen versions are just the last gen versions, and even the last gen versions are likely low on optimization if the best they could do with an okay looking last gen game was 1080p on the PS4 Pro.
This just screams that the money simply wasn't there. This is probably the most obvious a constrained budget has been in awhile....
Well, the big example people usually use when they say a game looks better is Dolphin. And you can probably expect the same from PS3 emulation long term as well. Really retro definitely needs a little help to look the best it can be, but by and large emulators account for that anyways in default options.
I'd like to know where this sharp swing from big loss to profit is supposed to come from. I would imagine the expectation is that they'll dial back the free games and try to get those only there for the freebies to become actual customers, but my stance from the start has been that no strings attached free games won't build a customer base. With that in mind, I'd wager Epic has put themselves in a bad place to turn around the money bleeding EGS.
That would be an awful move. With their handheld mode requirement for games, just updating one side of the equation would accomplish nothing. It would effectively be the perfect waste of money that didn't actually move the Switch forward in anyway.
The problem is the type of people that buy EA games by and large won't be buying them on the Switch. It's why EA, Ubisoft, and others have by and large ignored Nintendo this gen, and even before it. Nintendo first party sales dwarf third party sales so badly, just about the only ones happy with their sales are indie developers.
"Nintendo just made you mad with their nonsense business decision, so here are ways you can give Nintendo money instead." - the logic is infallible
Truly the gamer dream in action.
The problem isn't selling GPUs; the problem is selling GPUs to gamers and not just crypto miners. Miners have been buying up GPUs in droves and have been a driving force behind the stock shortages for Nvidia and AMD alike. AMD is only staying away from mining limiters because Nvidia's efforts haven't worked in the slightest, so they're just saving on software development time.
You can play some of them on the Vita via PSN purchasing, but a PSP with a functional UMD drive is the only completely legal way to play games like FF7: Crisis Core.
I expect that to be the standard for multiplatform games this generation. Minor differences that you wouldn't even notice without a side by side comparison.
If you got it into your cart, that means nothing. I've gotten to the end of checkout multiple times before getting kicked back with an out of stock notice literally 15 seconds after the stock went live for a given store.
It's not that surprising when you remember that the Switch released off cycle. That means that while the PS4 in particular was starting to slow down, the Switch was just starting to pick up speed. Now it has the benefit of being around long enough for supply to meet demand, while every last PS5 is gone within a minute of a listing going live.
The PS5 definitely would have outsold the Switch during several weeks if it wasn't for stock shortages.
I put down my reservation a day after they went live and was already set at a prospetice Q2 2022. Opening to new accounts now is just because scalping will have no real benefit since they'd be selling you a reservation it will take upwards of a year and change to actually fully redeem.
