Video Game General 7.0: Day Juan Ys: MoC June 9th & Wonderful 101 June 30th!

He is second behind Iori in that department but yeah.

Heh. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2 not having MTX at launch. Activision sometime after launch:

Every time. Every time, Iā€™m surprised. They have to fuck up in a way I saw coming one of these days. Why are the people that play this doing that to themselves?

Bethesda has always been a shit tier company. It was just for a long time no one knew how bad.

Theyā€™re doo doo garbage

Iā€™m liking the design of this new Powkiddy console

I just donā€™t get the support. EA and Activision do terrible things, but they at least put out playable games. Itā€™s mostly the microtransactions that make them shitty.

But Bethesda, right now, is putting out absolute dog shit and trying to do multiple microtransaction models at once. How the hell are they getting away with this?

Just like EA and Activision are. Blind fandoms of their titles supporting regardless. Ubisoft is creeping up on them too with that shit.

ā€œThankfullyā€ Nintendo is keeping that shit on mobile games like Mario Kart Tour, Pocket Camp, Fire Emblem Heroes and Dragonia Lost. All those games are definition of predatory and I refuse to partake in any of that. As soon as that shit creeps into a main console game Iā€™m done with them until they stop.

Nintendo also had Super Mario Run

Yeah, but that was free to start and the $10 to unlock every level. There wasnā€™t any predatory micro transactions in it, I donā€™t think? Idk. I never played it.

I forgot about their mobile Dr. Mario game too.

Game freak has been getting a piece of the MTX pie too with Go, Shuffle, Masters and others.

I was super excited for Squareā€™s mobile DQ game but as soon as I saw it had a subscription fee ON TOP of Microtransactions I deleted it from my phone. Same with the recent Digimon mobile game that came out.

Fuck all that noise. Thatā€™s why all the games I have on my phone are one and doneā€™s, usually retro games ported to mobile or the game steadily comes out with worthwhile DLC packs

Lawl at NRS trolling Mileena stans with Kitanaā€™s friendship.

I can imagine Ed Boon saying ā€œbut you never said she had to be a playable character.ā€

Does the troll really work when most fans seem to be fine with the Friendship?

Day 3 of SMTIV and Iā€™m beginning to worry I wonā€™t be able to finish it. Not because itā€™s hard, Iā€™ve played plenty of harder games, but because some of its design is absolute bullshit. I canā€™t remember the last time I got this furious at a game fucking me over. Like I did everything right and I still lost kinds of infuriating. This Press Turn system is like a shitty version of Once More (Or Once More is a fixed version of Press Turn, whichever you prefer.) Like I cast a spell and rng be like ā€œOh nope you missed, but no only did you miss, you lose the MP from the spell and the next character also loses their turn, isnā€™t that fun!?!?!ā€ Fucking why. Why am I being punished 3 times for 1 bad dice roll. Thatā€™s fucking retarded. To make matters worse the demons wander around the dungeon like Persona 3-5 Shadows except they are done suuuuuper shitty compared to Persona. Like I never walk through a door in Persona and get jumped by a shadow the absolute second the area loads but it happens CONSTANTLY in SMTIV and one bad battle start could easily mean game over or at the least trekking back out of the dungeon to revive my demons, and then slogging all the way back to where I got fucked with my fingers crossed I donā€™t get fucked on my way there. That is nonsense. How you gonna let demons absush me before I have a second to even move or look around?

And Iā€™m pretty sure Atlus knows this is all horse shit because you can literally buy your way out of game overs using either in game cash or fucking game coins you get just for walking around with your 3DS in sleep mode. Iā€™ve bought myself out of 6 game overs using game coins, like the fuck is the point of all of this? 6 game overs that basically meant nothing because I got a ā€œfreeā€ Respawn where I died. Just make your game not a cheap fucking asshole and you wonā€™t have to make these stupid ass back doors to make the bullshit a bit more bareable.

This game feels like a fucking mess. SMT 1 and II where pretty grind heavy and had their moment but none of them made me want to hurl my 3DS/Vita (played SMT1-2 on my Vita) across a fucking parking lot.

It looks like they reused Kitanaā€™s model and give her the classic costume for Mileena. It has to be a new model for a true troll.

Pretty sure the fans would rather she was playable then a cameo.

Sounds like a game that assumes you have nothing better to do but play it. To me thatā€™s one of the most unforgivable offenses in game design.

Iā€™m surprised by the lack of updates on the new Battletoads. Hopefully, it hasnā€™t been silently cancelled.

i wish i could give you some tips but i played smt iv with a guide and the whole deal with the press turn system is when its working in your favor its great but all to often someone will miss or you fuck up and hit the one element the enemy absorbs next thing you know your looking at a wipe wondering when the last time you saved was. i honestly recommend knocking it down to easy or investing in a magic build i think that build is strongest in iv.

i think the first time i played iv i fucked up and made a gun build and got my ass beat for at least 6 hours trying to make it work also if you want the neutral path your prob gonna need a guide for that shit.
