Then don’t pretend we’re in some magical fantasy future land where this isn’t normal. Everyone runs out of digital codes.

Are you going to yell at Steam too? Because they’ve run out of Steam codes more than a few times.

Digital games don’t have unlimited copies. Steam can also run out of generated codes and this has happened multiple times.

Sites can run out of Steam codes to give out so yes, it does work that way.

Uh, it’s easy to figure out. The key generator isn’t automated and it’s made so that they only make so many active codes for any point in time. That way they have control over which ones are verified and can be given out. Thus, they don’t have people just grabbing active codes that haven’t been given out yet.

It’s funny, seeing Xenoblade pixelated like that actually reminds me very much of Chrono Cross. The color palette reminds me of Lizard Rock on the way to Opassa Beach.

Bought mine day one and never received the e-mail. Great job, Sony.

I don’t think they thought the same, I think they had to take it as what other people assumed because it was going to obviously get the strongest backlash. In any case, I’m honestly still kind of insulted from this. The assumption that a situation like this MUST be a trans person is just too much of a jump to make…

I’m still kind of confused as to why it immediately jumps to “he had sex with a trans woman.” Why couldn’t it just be two guys who were really drunk? I was once called “Ma’am” because someone saw me from behind when I had really long hair and assumed I was a woman. The assumption doesn’t follow here.

From what I’m hearing, the US will get one version and the other parts as DLC.

No, it did not “taint” anything. If it’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that gamers love to exaggerate more than anything else these days. It really shouldn’t have taken you “100 hours” to beat in the first place even if you did do every single sidequest but whatever, aside from that, the idea that having the looping…

Oh, sorry you’re better than everyone else. I guess I like to actually experience things for myself and find enjoyment in learning the story on my own rather than watch a video and waste my money.

No, not really. I just leveled for a bit on an island that seemed good for it and then went to the four bosses that the game said I was actually supposed to go to. They worked fine and each chapter was like 15 minutes long. I never used any ridiculous skill setups, they were just normal fights.

What ridiculously repetitive final chapters? You weren’t forced to do anything other than a couple of quick boss fights. The entirety of those chapters is over in like an hour and a half and then you’re at the final boss fight.

What does Nintendo have to do with what Square is doing? It isn’t made by Nintendo, they just localized it and published the first in the US. If Square doesn’t want to go through Nintendo again, they can’t do anything about it.

Don’t start throwing out generalities. No, I would not count a passive viewer or random person looking up stuff on google as part of the community. If you actually interface with people who speedrun or speedrun yourself, then hey, you’re actually part of it. If you just watch and do nothing else ie. people watch AGDQ…

Are you really using Werster’s joke run to try to prove that people use it as a standard? Along with a link to a bunch of people talking about videos who aren’t in the community? OK

No one calls them "glitched." That isn't a term. There is a glitchless category for some games though it is almost never ran. If there are glitches used, they are named as part of the category. There is no singular "glitched" category. The glitchless types of runs are the odd ones out.

Just stop using the phrase "glitched runs." It isn't a term. There is no "legit" way of beating a videogame outside of not using a separate device to add codes or obvious cheats. They did "actually beat the game" and it's basically insulting that you and so many others are just dogpiling on pushing an entire community…

The whole "glitched" vs "non-glitched" thing remains as mystifyingly dumb to me now as it did the first time it popped in comments. There's no split on that. The only reason you would ever make the distinction is if someone actually specifies it's glitchless, which tend to be very boring in general and likely wouldn't…
