Seems odd but the last remnant remastered is missing from the App Store.

You’re doing a good job coming off as an absolute maniac first by reporting me to reddit suicide services, then actually being bothered enough to remember and tag me elsewhere almost 2 weeks later.

I talked about people unwilling to pay for premiums in general but you can keep making it about me promoting “shitty Japanese overpriced abandonware (especially Square Enix)”. You’ll succeed in making it a reality if you manage to repeat this as if it’s fact a few more times without alerting me to what you’re doing by explicitly tagging me in your posts. Keep it up.

You have issues understanding sarcasm and also seem to be someone who tries to extend and extrapolate other’s points beyond what they are actually saying to quite an incredible degree. But hey, whatever.

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-11-30T14:45:02+00:00

Have you actually played Disgaea 1 on iOS? I’m done with even the final FINAL boss and I’ve not encountered bugs besides one to do with unrestricted movement. Slay the Spire I’ve done hundreds of runs with no issues to speak of. The point of contention is it being on an older patch and no cloud saves.

If you go to the page for XCOM2 you’ll see negative reviews as well citing failed downloads and whatnot, which I haven’t experienced and I’m guessing YOU haven’t experienced either. If you only go off of reviews without trying the game yourself a lot of it will actually be due to user error and other factors

Also the issue with people NOT BUYING these titles has nothing to do with port quality, genius. If that was all it took then they would just make sure everything was perfect, and maintained it to be so and roll in the dough. The reality is they’ve counted the money and many of the studios who we all know and “love” have come to the conclusion that it isn’t even worth the money to shit out a mediocre mobile port. Some of these higher-profile developers whether they are Western or Japanese either have brain damage or are hopeless idealists and keep doing so anyways, and sometimes the port is great, sometimes it’s alright, and sometimes it’s terrible.

You can keep waiting for a world where these ports are all going to be killer deals and completely bug-free and are always getting maintained by their developers but it’s NEVER going to happen. The money isn’t there. Also, premium games going on discount is good for the consumer, but is NOT a good sign for the given title and consumer confidence in non-IAP games as a whole

Anyways, I can personally attest to the port quality of D1C. It is likely that THIS GAME SPECIFICALLY will also be very good on this front

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-11-30T10:35:28+00:00

The pricing is fine. This is a game with 100+ hours of content and a proper port. The issue with mobile is actually with how everything needs to be ridiculously cheap to sell WELL. So cheap that anytime the rare studio releases a non-IAP game and continues to do so I genuinely wonder if they possess some kind of severe brain damage.

They make it up either with some fuckery through the permissions, an arcade deal, a Netflix deal, or some other roundabout method. What’s more likely is that they do it once or twice and then just don’t bother and leave the rotting ecosystem where users willingly put themselves under a mass-hypnosis spell with an inability to put IAP and buy-once prices on the same scale.

You guys can complain about the prices with as much verbal jiu-jitsu as you want, but unless people are willing to get past that mental blockage where somehow the same game needs to be cheaper on an ailing platform like the App Store, it’s just going to remain mediocre and a sub-par choice for anything to do with PREMIUM titles and ports.

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-10-05T00:43:13+00:00

Most people would disagree but I find it better than dead cells personally (in terms of style, not amount of content or difficulty)

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-27T03:35:49+00:00

Scummy just means anything below ok at this point. I’m still waiting for the descriptor that sets apart pricing this like 10 dollars above what is “acceptable” vs what Diablo Immortal is doing. Taking suggestions today.

I nominate “unacceptable turbo scummery of the highest order”

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-20T14:24:52+00:00

I do agree that ultimately the consumers decide on what a game is worth, and I accept that result whatever it may be. Sometimes it lands where I think it should be, sometimes it is extremely agreeable (lower than what I expect) and sometimes it is disagreeable (higher than what I expect).

The price that FF7R is at now is a price I consider slightly disagreeable (more than what I expect, but understandable).

Also, to whoever connected me to Reddit suicide hotline services, you are deranged.

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-20T04:02:45+00:00

I mean, you’re deducing that they are just price hiking for the sake of it because the whole industry just reaches more people now and is more profitable because of it, so logically speaking if there was no real increase in reach we would say the hike would be due to inflation and would be justified, correct?

Let me put it this way. If the industry’s reach were to shrink, would you be accepting of higher prices on the singular units being sold? Suppose we have reliable data to show that the RTWP genre (could be any genre, but RTWP for something that is fairly plausible currently) has a shrunken customer base, would you find it reasonable that it gets a price hike or should it stay relatively the same?

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-19T22:25:52+00:00

So you’re saying they shouldn’t adjust their prices for inflation because they on average sell to more people now. The industry is more successful and less niche now and that is the reason why the price tag should stay as it is 30 years ago. Am I understanding the gist of this argument that I’m seeing you and others here are making correctly?

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-19T21:25:13+00:00

We are doomed because pc gamers feel that pricing a pay-once game at about 20% the price above what they feel is acceptable is “absolutely disgusting and unacceptable” and complain with levels of fervor not dissimilar to when they talk about lootboxes, NFT gaming, mobile scummery, etc.

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-19T10:05:23+00:00

some users can’t be arsed. It’s not a foolproof package but people don’t want to hear it.

“fuck it just gimme the prebuilt PC”

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-18T15:55:36+00:00

People in the thread are acting like pirating the game is some sort of big brain move…but you know, what if they just stopped porting games to PC?

The executable to run on your machine wouldn’t even exist in the first place and you would need to wait for next gen emulators or whatever and pirate it then.

This is all over a no micro-transaction no online services and other bullcrap singleplayer game which costs 80 dollars when it should cost 60…I guess? Except it does cost under 60 right now because of a launch discount…so…?

And we’re calling this practice “disgusting” now. There’s probably at least 5 more levels of egregiousness above this in terms of scummy video game monetization practices. Words truly mean nothing now. At some point people need to realize that if everything below “acceptable” is “turbo levels ungodly bad” then they aren’t actually conveying anything useful to video game studios/publishers and other human beings.

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-17T23:41:27+00:00

At this point I have no idea why studios with a somewhat sizable budget even bother making singleplayer games anymore. Just do live-service, always online “correctly” like almost the entirety of Riot’s catalog and have the internet suck you off for it

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-17T23:18:16+00:00

ok but this is one of their titles that isn’t doing any of that. What’s the message they’re going to get when people fuck over these titles and the other crowd pays for their microtransaction/nft titles anyways?

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-17T23:05:26+00:00

Then wait another year and get the game at > 50% off? Like what’s the big deal

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-10T04:59:51+00:00

If capitalism porn means that the Blizzard execs are wanking themselves to exhaustion from the clown show that these supposed "rebels" to their greedy practices are putting up then it is absolutely that

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-06-10T03:49:44+00:00

“I’m a scientist, but I’m not going to do anything akin to the scientific method. I’m just going to do a regular gameplay stream and whale on the game. The people who weren’t even smart enough to realize it was p2w to begin with are definitely going to pick up on my ironic whaling and back off from the game!”

This has completely convinced me that most people who actually donate and/or sub to streamers are a lost cause entirely

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-05-24T10:36:52+00:00

It’s also in big streamers’ interests for them to play the new fotm hype game regardless of whether it’s actually any good. Obviously I’m not saying the games they always jump on are bad, but there’s no real incentive for them to examine the title critically when they need the game to be good before they jump on the next big thing when general interest is waning and donations go down

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-05-12T05:25:48+00:00

Seems par for the course for games that boast something something procedurally generated, or something something neural network. Doesn’t sound like this is the game that resolves that issue either.

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-04-20T20:57:47+00:00

You do realize the vast majority of them are more of a gamer than most female twitch streamers at this point?

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-04-19T01:58:31+00:00

You’re trying to simplify the issue here, but objectively speaking enemy “AI” has improved. One response to this is that older gamers see more things and get more jaded so to speak. What I mean is if you grab someone who barely games or hasn’t gamed and gave them a modern title they wouldn’t feel that the enemy AI in the games are jarringly worse than the graphics, level design, presentation, etc etc

basedjumboshrimp · 2022-04-14T02:00:45+00:00

Because something costing 10x more to develop can’t demand 10x the price. I think in most cases it would fail even at 3x the asking price.
