seems like it's going to be pay to win. in the interview they sidestepped answering the question directly but said they didn't want the players to feel too much more powerful than those who paid. basically meaning if you pay you get an edge in gameplay. I went from wanting to play this to avoiding at all costs now

Amazon guy didn't answer anything. "Acknowledge and deflect, acknowledge and deflect."
I'm tired of GaaS and battle passes, but I guess as long as people keep coughing up for them they're here to stay.

"looks at lost ark" Yeah, no.

Stopped reading the moment I read the word Gacha. There is absolutely nothing fair about the pricing of Gacha games, they are quite literally the biggest ripoff in entertainment.

The biggest ripoff in entertainment that is also the most successful and praised by millions of players. Genshin Impact, Honkai Star Rail, Tower of Fantasy all insanely successful and loved.

Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.

I’ll tell you the game I’d buy from Marvelous, El Shaddai HD Remaster for PS5.

jznrpg2d ago

Sawaki Takeyasu said it was in development in fall of last year but haven’t heard anything since. Hopefully it’s still coming

FinalFantasyFanatic1d 14h ago

I didn't even know Farmagia was a Marvelous game, I wish we could get that Senran Kagura S7ven game, but Sony/Playstation pretty much killed any chance of that happening.

well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.

so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them

Abriael4d ago

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Si-Fly4d ago

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

Skate-AK4d ago

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

darthv724d ago (Edited 4d ago )

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

gold_drake3d ago

i guess its more black friday, should have been more clear ha

GotGame8183d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Thanksgiving kicks off the Christmas Holiday.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

Rancegamerx4d ago

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

PRIMORDUS4d ago

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
