@beehaw.orgIt's honestly very sad how corporations can just throw their work in the trash if they think it will make them more profit there. I'm glad Deery was able to release it on his own for free so the game won't be lost, but it's unclear if all the developers will be able to do that.
I can't imagine how frustrating and disheartening it must be as an artist to create something to share with the world only for it to be essentially buried underground because someone decided they could make a little extra money if no one ever sees what you made...
That's pretty cool. Does it let you pause games indefinitely while playing other games, or does it just initiate a pause while you're on the home screen, etc?
The sleep function is pretty nice, but I like to swap games relatively frequently; so being able to save frequently is still critical for me. Plus at the time, I was just playing on my personal computer, so I couldn't leave it running, even if I wanted to.
For P5R, I suggest only playing for an hour or a two at a time; I think it helps keep the game from dragging. For me, it helped keep the exploration aspect fun since I didn't have to rush to the end since I was probably not getting there in this sitting anyways.
I can't really compare too much to P4G, since I never got very far in it (I missed the QoL improvements).
I think being able to save in safe rooms let them expand the Palaces/Dungeons, which I could see making the game drag for some. Personally, I enjoyed the safe room mechanic since it meant that I could play for short times if necessary, which let me "pick up and play" much easier.
P5R was my first introduction to the series, but I've heard the characters in P4 are much more fleshed out. Is that your issue, or would you say it's the game mechanics that are bugging you?
I'm not saying that the game would've been kept off Eidos was still at SE, but I'm so tired of big corporations acquiring companies just for their IP while killing their projects and laying off their staff.
Embracer has a long history of acquisitions, and I am kind of wondering how long it will take until they decide to just "loan" out the IP they've bought instead of putting out any games at all.
If this is to be trusted (which is a big if), it's very interesting Nintendo would not continue with the OLED screens. I've heard people theorize Nintendo is choosing to keep the OLED screen for a mid-cycle refresh, which I would believe; but would consumers be happy with the graphical downgrade?
Either way, assuming this is legit, it sounds like Nintendo is likely keeping the Switch form factor if they are still using small (ish) screens for the console. If this is the case, I wonder how likely a Wii U situation would be (where customers think it's the same console they already have and don't buy it)...
It was a personal project. I was planning a party, which doesn't sound like a lot; but I really wanted it to go well, so I was putting in a lot of work on decorations, goody bags, catering, etc. (Plus I've never planned a party before)
It's been pretty nice so far. Last weekend I finished a project I've been working on since April last year so I've finally been able to relax over the weekend for maybe the first time in ~3 months. In related news: I also finally got to start Spider-Man 2 and that has been a lot of fun too.
Yeah, I agree. You never know when you'll need the money for an emergency, so I think it makes sense to hold onto the funds for unexpected expenses in the future.
