I just...can’t get over her nose. She reminds me of MJ whose “Thriller” just hit 33 million copies in sales.

It’s not mandatory. Hence, “New original story”. Witcher 3 DLCs contain new stories too. Blood and Wine costs close to $25, Witcher is $50, so, would you argue that the DLC increases The Witcher 3's price by 50%?

It says “New original story”, so it’s not going to be a part that is cut out from the main story-line. This is more like FO4 Far Harbor (with new story, quests, and characters etc), I don’t see many people having problems with that.

If the extra content is worth it, why not?

Another way to look at it would be a single DLC pack that has a two-stage release. All of a sudden, the $20 seems to go towards the extra dungeon and story-line. Perspectives change everything.

By Zelda game, he was probably referring to the first-party Nintendo series, not spin-offs. Also, I would probably consider Zelda Musou as part of the Musou series (beat-em-up) than part of the main Zelda.

That’s kind of it, right? Given that it costs so similar to PS4 Pro 1TB...the Switch would be a hard buy.

It depends on the game and whether the store is dropping the price. Some stores offer memberships, which gets you some discounts too. Usual PS4 games cost $60 to $70. RE7 for example, cost $70 at launch, Naruto Shippuden 4 costs $65. ME:Andromeda costs $69 on Origin. (all local currency).

The Switch is going to be released in bundle-only form (1,2 Switch and Zelda mandatory) over here at S$700 (which is roughly US$492) and RM 2300 in Malaysia (~US$518).

It is, and will be if the way Dota 2 has been handled is anything to base predictions on. The game has received multiple overhauls and major upgrades over the years, even moving from one engine to the next. I doubt that it would ever get an official sequel, it would probably just keep iterating as required.

For the most parts, Chinese cities and landscapes are not filled with red lanterns, golden dragon heads, and green-tiled roofs. They are mostly grey, concrete, with little emphasis on styling (except for the most developed urban cities). The Western depiction of China is often quite inaccurate, as they feature…

Spicer himself is in a poor position. There are reports of Trump’s dissatisfiaction with him and talks of hiring additional press people.

Projects can’t be delayed indefinitely, people cost money to hire, and Activision is funding Bungie.

People perceive value differently. $1000 worth of virtual items is no different from a $500 Michelin 3-star meal, in the sense that they both provide experiences. The most costly ingredients go through our bodies and come out as waste anyway.

I try to avoid the top of the page as much as possible as it was featured on the top left. :/

I really dislike cockroaches, and the shared cockroach article from Gizmodo is really disturbing. :(

But yeah, lots of expectations for the Switch. I hope it would succeed the 3DS and inherit the titles such as Pokemon and Fire Emblem.

Not really. While the lack of DRM might be nice to some, it does not seem to be a main concern for many of the consumers.

I don’t think so. It seems to me like you are more committed to the DRM distaste than the average person is. I doubt that the main targets of DRMs are the hardcore nitpicking individuals like you. They are closer to the “If I can download this for free with one click on launch day and save some money, why not?” group…

But complete protection is not the point, isn’t it? Developers have come out and stated that Denuvo is used to keep the game away from pirates during launch periods (where most of the sales happen). That is the expectation.

Remember when Nintendo refuted claims that Wii-U’s production is about to end? The same would probably happen to 3DS a year or so after Switch’s rollout.
