I play on easy anyway. I’m here for the story, world, and characters. I hate the Etrian gameplay, but its the price of admission for me to have more Persona experiences 

Japan likes microtransactions and phone crap. Its the West that doesn't

Nintendo’s first party output has been amazingly crappy for over a year now. Aside from Smash and PokeGimmicks, 2018 had next to nothing from them. And 2019 has been dry so far, at least until July hits and their output starts cranking out compelling hits consistently for the rest of the year

None of them are new games...except for Sonic Racing. So this shouldn't be surprising 

More evidence of how scary the future of gaming distribution is. Physical games will always be around. You can go play some Disney licensed game on the NES if you can find a copy. But you can’t go buy The Wolf Among Us now, because there was never a disc. 

This and Crash offer more gameplay than Mario Kart does, in a good way. And I wish Nintendo would learn from others

I am puzzled to no end why people would play something they hate so much

fascinating experiences. This article sold me his book :)

sounds amazing; particularly the story! $50 seems a bit steep though = considering I may buy AC3 and Sonic Racing for $40 each next week...

good riddance. Harvey was a douchebag that didn’t deserve a platform 

F tourists coming in and judging another culture’s non-invasive habit. We should have zero tolerance for that nonsense from Westerners 

I held off on buying, for lack of the story mode. I might get it now 

the always-on nonsense is really driving me up the wall. I don’t play online - don’t punish me for playing locally!

3/DS library is *massive*. I have a large backlog that I’ll never get to. Especially now that I vastly prefer playing on Switch

-

Glad we got a release date finally. But, really Nintendo? There is a *year* of nothing (except for Smash) and then you drop Fire Emblem and Marvel UA3 a week apart?

“this new version of the fourth Dragon Age is planned with a live service component, built for long-term gameplay and revenue”

and here, all the rumors pointed to either Rome or Japan in the next game. Vikings is a new rumor to me

I *love* the Morgana plush. I copied the CD to my PC, so I have digital music of it (I don’t get your criticism of that aspect; this is easy to do), and I love steelbooks. I didn’t care for the bag at all. As a collector item, I appreciated it - especially with how littler Persona merch exists outside of Japan.

Just like with DA:I and ME:, it seems that Frostbite is unequivocally  a large part of the problem. Sounds like it needs to die and EA needs to build a new engine if they refuse to use external ones
