After mere months on the App Store, Tales of Phantasia iOS will soon stop being available or even playable in any way. As Touch Arcade discovered, Bandai Namco quietly posted an update on the app's iTunes page, noting it will remove the game from the store on August 28. Not only will Tales of Phantasia iOS not be available after that, but Bandai Namco says "the app and all associated services will become unusable." That's likely because of server shutdown, since the game requires players be online to save.
Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.
Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
Nice to see an healthy online behavior to be recognize by the dev teams.
But man.... How many hours did he spent playing Elden Ring? Not sure it's that healthy in real life 😂
But still kuddo to him :)
Laced Records has teamed up with Bandai Namco for the release of a triple vinyl-set featuring music from retro-classics Tekken Tag Tournament & Tekken 4.
TTT is one of my all time favorite games, but I always found its soundtrack to be terrible. I'd mute the music and put my own on.
Metacritic reveals the past year's best and worst videogame publishers (based on their 2018 releases) in their 9th annual Game Publisher Rankings.
My biggest gripe about online-only games: you can't play once those servers go down. Unless the game is hugely popular, like the PS2 days, where people actually emulated servers so others could play online.
Look at Titanfall in 10 years. It'll probably not have any servers, so if you wanted to "relive the past" - too bad...
If only they localize this, without the microtransaction of course, for Vita/3DS :( . I'll be glad to buy it on day 1.
