Although every company's goal is profit, I think that it's necessary to show (or give the impression that) you actually care about the product you're selling. And with Sonic games, their half-cooked ideas (like Sonic Superstars multiplayer aspects), lack of polish (like Sonic Frontiers controls and terrible pop-in) or even games that don't control well even though it may be the problem of the hardware and not the game itself (Samba de Amigo on Switch), do make it feel like SEG...
I like Persona, but I fear Sega is learning the wrong lessons from Disney, and in the pursuit of neverending profits, they will oversaturate the market with Persona products and the public will just get tired of it and move on, just like Disney did with super heroes and Star Wars.
Persona games previously felt like events. Nowadays, it feels like every other month a new game related to Persona is being released. Great for hardcore fans, but it may be too much for the general public. ...
It's interesting he used Brazil as an example of the importance of regional pricing. Nowadays many companies on Steam are setting their prices in Brazil as high as, if not more than, their price in USA. I simply refused to buy a few games when I noticed that's the case.
I'm not shocked at all. This was an early example of Blizzard being greedy. Instead of releasing a complete experience, splitting Starcraft 2 in 3 parts so it could make us purchase it 3 times if we wanted to know the whole story and play story mode with the other races.
Well, this will certainly be useful to make already extremely active members to be even more active, but I don't think this will make other users actually engage more, since if you don't already comment like crazy, it would feel like work to try to get into the top 100.
If it was up to me, I'd make every active member get a chance based on their number of comments and whatnot, but being in the top 50/100/200/500/1000 act like a multiplayer (x10,x5,x4,x3,x2).

How in heaven's name Warioware Twisted is not on the list? It deserves the top 1 spot easily!
Chocobo GP had potencial to be a worthy competitor, but Square Enix just couldn't help itself from ruining it with bad monetization. Still fun to run a couple of races from time to time, though.
Mr X getting the Nemesis treatment, the ninja zombies who managed to quickly turn and grab you from behind them or even if you were (what should be) far enough, and zombies becoming bullet sponges that required a whole ammunition clip to be put down, made RE2 Remake feel like it missed the mark. Not a bad game by any means, but being so close to greatness and having such stupid problems...
The horror in this game is so strong that it started without me even playing it.
I looked for it in Steam. Not among the "recently released" list. Maybe the release time is later? No, there's no listing there.
Ok, tried GOG. Nothing there, too.
Then I had that sinking feeling, that dread creeping up slowly and making me shiver.
Google: "where to buy alan wake ii on pc"
...
Then I saw the answer.
I was a Sega fanboy who never had a Saturn because my parents refused to buy me one.
Now living in Japan, with many used games stores around, I was thinking about getting a used Saturn to fulfill my old wish. However, looking at Saturn's games... there's nothing that good that makes a Saturn worth it, is there? No wonder it couldn't compete with PSOne.
Spider-Man confirmed in Smash Bros Multiverse on Switch U!
For me an RPG lives and dies for its plot. And after the mess they made in the first part with the whispers, destinies etc., this second part would need to be extremely good to fix that. And with Nomura still on the director's seat, I have extremely low expectations that that will happen.
I've been playing this for the past couple of weeks as an excuse to walk around, and the base game is actually very fun.
But the pricing of items is ridiculous. 180 gems for a paintball which marks a monster for later but grants you only ONE chance of killing it? (if you mess up and die and retire or if the timer runs out, the monster disappears from your list). 60 gems for ONE potion which only recovers 50HP?
Drop rates are also terrible. Killing 5 s...
It's a great game, but now that I came back to Cyberpunk, Starfield will be in the backburner for a while.
Starfield is big, but maybe too big. I prefer tighter experiences. In Cyberpunk I like to just run or drive anywhere, it feels a more connected place, even Elder Scrolls and Fallout feel like that. In those games, while going to do a quest, I may find many other interesting things on the way.
Meanwhile, in Starfield I feel like I'm just jumping from un...
Good for you that you could enjoy the japanese version. That's not the case for me and the majority of people here, though.
No amount of "character development", (especially the ones that for me feels sudden and undeserved like Squall's), will justify him being a d**k to my girl Quistis. Even if he found the cure for cancer, from that moment on, I would never like him.
The article is about being unlikeable, and he was indeed unlikeable for at least half of the game.
Most of these aren't even that bad. Especially comparing to others like Squall "Whatever" Leonhart, Forspoken's Frey, and the guy from Atomic Heart.
Not on PC.
Nowadays I don't mind when Square takes time to release PC ports. This way, instead of buying their games on release day because of the hype, I have time to let the hype die down and see the games for what they truly are.
And in the case of Stranger in Paradise and Final Fantasy XVI, after calmily checking reviews and gameplay videos, I can realize they are not my cup of tea.
I would, if it was available on any other PC storefront than the malware it's available on right now.
