Usually one per system or genre at a time.

Like I’ll have a ps5 game on the go, something on the pc, and a few per emulated system on my handheld.

Or I’ll have a more arcadey game and an rpg on the go for when I’m in the mood for either kind of thing.

Yeah but that scam may have been going around the area elsewhere and had caused a spike of searches in your area so the add companies programmatically fill in what they see as an area with potential leads with ads.

What made you bring up the Philippines in the first place? Even if you have not been served ads before then, or the other guy. Someone either of you have interacted with could’ve done who brought up the Philippines to you or them.

And because there’s an ongoing campaign in your area, eventually you’ll get one of them ads too.

I’ve seen it and listened to the various podcast episodes he talks about it too

His opinion on astro bot being purely self fellatio keeps rubbing me the wrong way. Like he saw cameos and feels like that’s the only thing the game has to offer. He never talks about the other merits the game has. Even in him saying it’s his 5th best this year it’s still just a “in spite of all the cameos, it’s still fun”, like he has no idea why it’s fun.

Not a fan of the look of the shop. Perspective and scale is strange

OG FFVII is full of minigames. I don’t think rebirth has more than the OG, also it’s like half of the game not a third (the last disc is just the final dungeon, and the second disc is not as long as the first).

When the OG does a minigame it’s often a one and done thing. Rebirth madness it feel like more because you can go back and do more of each minigame with increasing difficulties etc.

I think subsystems just lend very well to JRPGs because they’re often trying to create a world, and adding such to their games makes their worlds feel more full. I also think the Japanese do their game development different to the west most of the time. Since a lot of these minigames are made because developers have finished the parts of the main game they were working on so they mess around trying to make something new and fun that might be able to be tacked on as an extra.

Probably less than stubbing your toe, getting gently flicked by a leaf maybe?

Same, not tried it yet

It’s been taken down on xitter now

I’d much rather buy a full game from the get go and have everything available with no time limit on when i need to buy it.

There is no FOMO if you can leave it for years, actually get the game with all dlc cheaper second hand for a couple of quid and still finding a thriving community online that isn’t focused on completing timed challenges for various currencies to get cosmetics you like the look of before they disappear from the store or the deal for the cheaper price runs out.

Yep, map packs are dlc. And it wasn’t alone. Every multiplayer game worked like that at the time. Exclusive or not.

I’m not playing it at the moment but the most recent one i was actively subscribed to was ffxi. I find that now when I want to pay an MMO I stray away from the wow likes (if i want that style it’s xiv for me though). I like the older ones that use more archaic combat systems because they’re often very unique on a genre where everything now feels very similar.

Also here’s an obligatory “I miss Wildstar”

Halo 3 and other games of it’s time did well enough, and the multiplayer for them lasted way longer than most live service games.

Actual DLC was better than FOMO cosmetics in my opinion.

Even so. There was once a magical time when games did not have FOMO at all.

What makes you compare intergalactic with concord? Ones a paid for hero shooter doing nothing new in a sea of free to play games of the same genre. And the other is a single player narrative focused game from a studio that has a proven track record of being able to make great games in that field.

It generates FOMO though. I remember when you didn’t have to pay for stuff in games, so I personally still find it very shitty to have to buy skins etc.

Looks like Americans are about to go through their version of brexit. Good luck, it’s going to be rough.

It wouldn’t be the first time Nintendo has had this

A situation could easily happen where they’re forced to pay a percentage of whatever they earn until it’s all paid off (which will be never).
