Woopity-fucking-do. In that case, it makes sense because the Xbox sells like shit in Japan, so there wouldn't be enough sales to justify porting it there. Not that it matters: the Xbox One isn't region locked, so you can just import an American game and play it on your Japanese Xbox. It is still available on PC, though.
You either don't bother to read nor remember my autism rant in culture war thread about MonHun, do you? About the whole Westernized crap.
In the SNES original you just shot things. It was based on an arcade game where you just shot things. I see a worrying amount of text in the previews for this one, but Wild Guns Reloaded and Ninja Saviors are both 11/10, so in Natsume I trust.
Surely no single player game would ever do that.
It's still a form of a paid exclusivity deal.
No its not. It makes no sense to have an exclusivity deal that only covers one country, especially since region locking isn't a thing. Its not even exclusive to Playstation in Japan. Its still available on PC.
Dude, this shit is retarded and it's the reason why I hate RPGs
Skylanders did it. More than once.
The part where you have multiple characters that can be linked to eachother or the part where you get them in a random order instead of being linked directly to a plot. There's like thirty of them and you're pretty much guaranteed to get most of them just through random blade creation.
Paid timed exclusivity is still paid exclusivity and should not be celebrated in any way. Also, in person retail is not dead and the vast majority of people do not want to/are too dumb to figure out how to set up accounts from different regions.
It's more like the min-maxing aspect of it.
But you don't have to. As long as you understand the game mechanics assigning blades randomly but equally will see you beating the game with little trouble.
I couldn't reply to the post yet because I was waiting for the game to be unlocked in the japanese timezone.
The Story mode has its share of cutscenes occuring before & after a stage. Free mode (which also enables a second player with a single joycon) is only available after clearing the story.
Jesus H Christ, who fucking cares.
Its not even paid timed exclusivity. They just straight up didn't release the game on Xbox in Japan because the Xbox sold so bad. It released on Xbox day and date at the same time as Playstation everywhere else. I think the PS versions got some minor exclusive content. Nothing major though.
I was talking about the PC version. Not releasing on Xbox is sad, any form of paid exclusivity for content that was going to be made anyway sucks, but I can see why Square would make the deal- who in Japan actually owns an Xbox?
Americans living in Japan, and I guess Ameriboos who saw this ad and said "haiiii~ zat'su za bideo gamu consuru boku wa needo desu~"
This is such poor planning. Splatoon thrives on Splatfests, yet instead of summer when more people are online, they choose Fall?
I doubt that they planned on falling behind, it just happened. Maybe covid, maybe standard Nintendo BS.
COVID is scheduled to return around that time. They know what they're doing.
