Except it won’t be. The number of people who actually follow their bad practices and care is a rounding error. It was the same with EA and Activision. They treated their customers like scum and people are still on their knees asking for more. It will be no different for Nintendo.


Whether it is closed source or not is irrelevant to this discussion. The fact of the matter is that VR offers a different gaming experience, one that has the opportunity to provide real exercise for the player.


Unlike 3d tvs it actually has something to offer. I wouldn’t call it a gimmick, but it definitely has a price barrier that is hard to swallow.


I have gotten so sick of Nintendo’s shit that I have started cloning all of the emulator repos that I use. Thankfully I had pulled latest less than an hour before the repo was pulled. Others have beaten me to the punch for forking and re-hosting, but you can include me in the archive army.



Ocarina of Time randomizer has a lot of replay value for me. The game itself is secondary to the routing of getting items.


Factorio, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, and either Age of Empires 2 or Ship of Harkinian.


It’s not just your memory. The devs for the definitive edition have been working to remake the navigation subsystem for some fuckall reason. It gets progressively worse every patch.

The original pathfinding was much better and felt more fluid and responsive.

They are already changing a few of my favorite things about the original version of AoM so some wind is already out of my sails. I hope they don’t unnecessarily change things for the sake of change and make it worse.


The first game is still loaded with bugs to this day. I had no faith in a second game, and this news does it no favors.


Banished is a low bar. It had a lot of issues. I would argue the recently released Farthest Frontier is a better comparison. It also has some flaws but is leaps and bounds better than Banished.


I remember when the exact opposite was true. Their drivers were awful and their GPUs consistently overheated.

I am glad to see things change. Competition is always a good thing.


Most of these changes are welcome. The Swashbuckler change feels weird since it removes some strategy. Joker positioning is actually important and fun, so removing effects that enforce that mechanic is a little sad for me.

Guaranteeing a joker booster pack in the first store is a very necessary change since RNG on even getting a joker has screwed more than one run for me, but at the same time it almost feels like a required purchase which indicates some sort of design flaw.


They are really churning out the DLC now. Hopefully they can learn from the previous ones.


The game was super jank but I remember it really fondly. I play the GOG version at least once a year. I am really excited to hear this news, but I will keep my expectations in check.


Doesn’t help the name and poster art have both been highly unhelpful in explaining what kind of game it is.


Do we happen to know what version of the driver introduced the issue?


I know this isn’t what you were alluding to, but this doesn’t make it ok. We should be better than that. These people, as far as I know, have not done anything to deserve death, and disagreeing with somebody is not valid justification.


They still haven’t fixed the major bugs after how many years in the first game. I don’t think I can trust them with a second.


While having both is ideal, I care more that a game is fun and interesting over it following lore and crippling itself to stay in line. Of course failing both is bad.
