So even access to the account is region-locked? Alienating one of their console's main (and vocal) potential customers is not a good move but daily online checks and region locking downloadable purchases is plain freaking retarded no matter what the platform (I'm looking at Origin, some Steam games and Nintendo policies too here).
The last time he was frank about the reasonable wish to retire Nintendo's stock price dropped and he had to issue a retraction of sorts within days of the original announcement. Now he has to say he's successfully carrying out a transition in such an indirect way just because of stupid reactionary speculators (one of the biggest human plagues ever to hit civilisation). The man invented most of the genres we have come to love, let him retire and smell the roses in peacefor crying out loud!
Geralt looks like Commander Shephard in that screenshot! Now, if someone would be so nice as to make a crossover mod we could have some pretty interesting situations there.
Since when is $500 = 500 euros? Who came up with that pricing scheme anyway? (The actual price has already been greatly discussed, might as well add something else to the debate)
So long as it does come to PC with a great port then there's no harm in waiting, it'll only ensure the first release is as polished as possible for an even more polished port to PC (a nice trend in this latter end of the current console generation).
@Xristophoros The original fable is till date a well received and fondly generally fondly remembered game and the graphical updates are nowhere near "slight", compare the screenshots, you'll see.
The Xbox One is an Apple-esque crazy and confusing Ministry of Truth history rewriting attempt renaming scheme (new new iPad anyone - and btw, I love both their products and Android) that MS should have known better than to stick with. At the very least the rumoured Xbox Infinity domain name would have been easier to obtain. I'm surprised MS did not park this domain since the days of the real Xbox 1!
@sladakrobot @LowTechGeek Have you heard of the GameStation btw? If Nintendo actually sold real NES hardware at those pricepoints with marketing aimed at the people interested in these renamed pirate NES systems (general curious not very hardcore gamers who could grow an interest in gaming as a result) they'd have a steady revenue stream no matter what generation it is!
@jerusaelem @TriggerManX97 @RussellGorall @Scardelli1 How about putting the politics aside and going to the basics of what the score should represent: how good is the game? Sure, the sticker price is way too high, but the choice to buy it is up to the gamer and besides games depreciate insanely fast. Typically within less than half a year you'd be able to pick this up on Steam for 75% off. The score does seem low to me as far as the quality of the game seems to be, but awarding a game a permanent low review score just because of transient pricing concern is plain ridiculous.
