    Definitely nutaku talks a good game but every-time they fall short, I just hope that this leads to a English patch to the Taba viewer, Even if it needs the dialog uncensored they will have done most of the work.

    Yeah, Nutaku is kinda weird. For example, they took Pero Pero Saimin, a game about hypnosis and removed the entire hypnosis out of it, renaming it into Pero Pero Seduction instead. That one was weird when I found about it...

    Edit: Amusingly, the Japanese still talked about mind control from what I can understand, they just translated everything differently.

    I can only get it if it comes out on the PC. I hope those costumes don't get censored if it comes out in America though.

    IF doesn't bring things if they have to censor them. Rest assured about this. As for PC release... who know? Some things see a PC release later on, after console release here.

    ...THen again, I saw it for Vita games. Dunno how often that happen for PS4.

    Was checking out a new game that came out on Nutaku and man...the pricing for the premium currency is ridiculous.

    To get 10 of the premium currency you need to spend 10 dollars or so.

    to get 220 of it, you need to spend 20.

    390 is 30

    700 is 50

    and their final offer 1500 is 100.

    Who in their right mind would even buy that? There isn't even gacha. It just locks some features that would help win battles faster behind a paywall.

    Which makes sense because the battles seem kinda horribly balanced and rely too much on rng.

    Naughty kingdom is a shitty cash grab.

    Every game with a paid gacha is a shitty cash grab and they will continue until people stop giving them cash, That or the government step's in.

    Had a Steam coupon for Moonlighter, so I decided to buy it. And after an hour of playing, I have to say that my first impression reading the store description is completely accurate. It's like Recettear, except without the humor or haggling. And since I already own Recettear...

    If you have a Switch, get Octopath Traveller. Get it now. Doubly so if you loved classic RPGs and old-school Final Fantasy.

    The music is also nothing short of fantastic

    Heh.

    But honestly, from what I heard, it's selling way more than Square Enix ever expected.

    That's consistent with their shitty marketing department's previous fuckups. If you remember their expectations for Nier and Bravely Default.

    Well, there IS a demo you can play for up to three hours. Even allow you to port that save to actual game if you get it!

    But the gist of it is that it has 8 main characters, each with their own Job. As befitting the name Octopath. You start the game by picking one of them as your main character (and you're locked with it until their story is complete), finish their first chapter... And then you're free to go where you want. You can go get the others characters right away. Or you can go explore as well wherever you want. Of course, stray too far and the monsters will destroy you, but still, each area warn you of a level you should be at to handle it.

    And like old RPGs, it doesn't tell you about hidden mechanics. Like finding sub-Jobs to assign characters to expand what each can do.

    Anyway, have the character trailer at least. But the best way is probably to experience it.

    Looks pretty good.

    I'll probably grab it once Math stops killing me.

    So can we all agree that World of Warcraft has a giant pulsating tumor where its plot is supposed to be? Battle for Azeroth is coming out in a month or two and normally I'd be getting at least slightly interested in the new expansion but after the shitshow that was Legion turning Illidan into Green Jesus v2.0 I just can't bring myself to give a damn anymore. Things have gone consistently downhill since either Wrath or Mists and now they're focusing entirely on the Horde vs Alliance thing that should have been done and over with permanently back in Mists if Blizzard didn't need (and have) an endless supply of contrivances to continue justifying faction PVP.

    I'm not sure if that's amazingly tasteless or tastelessly amazing, but I can believe it. These were the guys who made a Kickstarter to dig a hole in the ground a while back IIRC. And they got it funded.
