@Dee123 Didn't most of their descendants get wiped-out in WW II if I'm not mistaken? Then again my state's the worst in education, so I wouldn't be surprised if the world history book I studied in middle school was wrong. 😅
@sanderev The most recent numbers for Switch are 141.32 million units sold vs. PS4 with 117.2 million units sold. Outselling? Yes, but hardly 3 to 1 lol. 🤣
@VHSGREMLIN Physical can't be forcibly taken from consumers by recall. That's voluntary, seizure is the only way physical can be taken by force. The only people forced to do anything are stores removing items from sale in the case of a recall.
The specs are nice, but I'm a bit worried it'll be in the $500-$600 range, if true, pricing many people myself included entirely out of the video games market...
@Croctopus @CartoonDan It's like Nintendo doesn't want people to play online. With how garbage their online servers are I expect half of the players to be banned by the server issues...
@Vyacheslav333 I noticed that NL is extremely biased when it comes to game genres, some they'll review every single game for, and others like VN's they'll only review it if its title starts with Phoenix and ends with Wright.
Gamestop's end is nigh. I subscribed up until the print version stopped being distributed. To me a site like NL or PS is a better source of information online.
@JalapenoSpiceLife What a charming post, you realize that he's a one-man team and not a corporate-run dev right? I honestly believe him given his track record, but you do you, I guess? 😮💨
@Arkay Unless you're 80% of the population who doesn't have two pennies to rub together thanks to the hyper inflation going on in most countries around the world...nevermind a new console when you're struggling to put food on the table...
Most gamers I know can on rare occasion afford a game for a console they already own, but most don't have hundreds to spend on new hardware.
@echoplex Yeah, but JRPG's tend to get crap reviews here in general and occasionally on Push Square as well because the reviews are usually "Nintendo Life" or sometimes "Push Square" handled by people who aren't fans of the genre. I think there should be some guidelines regarding giving the press codes to staff who can actually give a game in whatever genre it belongs to a fair review, if they aren't a fan of the genre or have misconceived expectations of what makes a game good in the genre, then it'll get a lower score than it actually deserves.
@SwitchVogel Any plans on updating the score since the game's issues were resolved and the graphics were brought in-line with the other consoles ports of this game? Otherwise this review is completely useless for informing people about the current build of the game...
Yeah what the article is describing is not even a Fire Emblem game. I guarantee you the series would be over if it loses its identity like that. Even Final Fantasy is slowly dying and it had several fold the number fans as Fire Emblem currently has when that series abandoned its identity...
@solarwolf07 Doubtful since Switch's successor doesn't release until next year and this game is a SUPER early 2025 title. Also Pokemon games always release last-gen during the first year to 18 months of the new generation so we'll likely see this in early 2025, and another Remake title in the series either this year or next both as current gen titles, after that we'll probably get one more OG Switch Pokemon title before GF moves on.
@AnonyQ That's not censorship if its removing actual illegal content such as hate speech directed at real people. Censorship is when perfectly legal speech or content is removed. That said, there's a fine line between the two things and certain countries do use the law to censor people while not "technically" censoring them in the name of "justice"...
@PinderSchloss Sounds more like an aging Switch with overheating issues to me. Mine starts to do this too once my system has been running for 4-6 hours straight so just give your system an hour or two break and it should fix the issue for awhile.
Also how are there SO MANY PEOPLE ON HERE with zero common sense?! How can people see games like ToTK and Xenoblade 3 release on Switch and run fine, but then a game like this that could easily run on a PS3 with zero issues "which is quite a bit weaker in horsepower than the Switch" release on the Switch with optimization issues and you guys start dogpiling and saying that the Switch is too underpowered to run this...? SMDH... 😮💨
@bones I remember playing this at recess in middle school back in the late-90's and early-2000's since I was in the computer club and we had some older gaming PC's in the corner of the room. I think it took me TWO years, but I finally beat it before graduating middle school.
@Ade117 I'm honestly surprised that the Mashoku Tensei game is getting a E10+ rating makes me wonder how horribly the game has been censored lol?😅
That said and more on-topic in-regards to TTIGRAAS, I love this series and am happy it's getting a game, though I'd have preferred a more traditional JRPG, this'll still be fun, I'm sure.
@PinderSchloss Rising was a Metroidvania and this is a 3D JRPG, while I thought it looked good, I actually doubt that would have allowed the game to run any better, actually in some areas it would likely make it run worse as I'm pretty sure its visuals would actually be more taxing on the Switch when applied to a massive JRPG...
@fenlix What kind of comment is that?! Wow, just WOW...🤬
Edit: Not as bad, but you still should delete your comment as it comes across as very cold and callous. The issues don't sound all that bad for him to feel shame, the performance issues will likely be dealt with in the day-one patch and the other "major issue" is a selling point for anyone interested in the game and should therefore be ignored by the viewers.
@JohnnyMind I played the beta on Steam a couple years ago before my Windows laptop died and I can't recommend this enough. It's really unique in its story-telling and gameplay loop.😉
