Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

because people usually assume that part of the price of a product is the distribution and production of the physical material. So if you take that cost away, to make the same amount of profit, the company can charge less.
It's not that I expect to pay less, it's just that in all likelihood there will never be a sale, it won't ever go down in price.
I also liked the previous Ace Attorney physical releases, I got a sweet Apollo Justice keychain from the last one. Given that 3DS purchases are tied to a singular 3DS, I just feel a little uncomfortable with the lack of a physical release.
It's a good business move, as Ace Attorney fans will buy it anyway, but I never got the impression that the series failed to perform in sales outside Japan.
Whatever, I'm extremely hype for the game anyway.
i get that but that rarely happens with games, and when it does it's usually in the form of like, steam sales and the like
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
The cost of games is in development, not so much production. I could see an argument made for distribution/retailers being a larger cost, but production is really negligible.
I want one so bad, but I gotta get enough money together to buy the XL first before I can sell the old one

Yeah, at this point that's never going to happen.
Shhhhh. Don't ruin my fever dream.
Forgive me if I'm a little bitter about Capcom's releases.

Fuck you for being so right.
I want Yakuza Kenzan so much.
If you're referring to pair up bonuses the difference between an S and A rank isn't huge, but you aren't likely to want Maribelle paired up anyway since most of the time she hangs out nowhere near the fight and uses Physic or Rescue.
I have come to peace with the fact that I will never play it
It took some time

Looks like Ultimate Alliance, only monetized to hell.

It's more Diablo really.
I haven't played the beta, but the money stuff didn't seem too bad then. I know they've been changing it though. They went through a real dumb phase where you couldn't just up and buy the character you wanted unless you pre-ordered, but I think they changed their minds.
Random Access Memories leaked, opinions?
I'm really digging it so far.
you can hear both the 70s/80s influence and their progression from the Tron Legacy soundtrack
no, that's how donnel works. he sucks immensely early on and his growths don't matter because everyone wrecks later on. it's much easier to not use him.
I played the beta most of Sunday. It's basically a Diablo that takes itself less seriously. Fight way more enemies at once, and use your abilities constantly instead of waiting for cooldowns. You can also switch between characters mid-mission. It's a pretty good time!
The monetization doesn't seem so bad? I don't know what the real money to game currency translation is, but in the beta they gave you 2000 G and I bought two characters (plus the starter guy). And costumes are craftable if you don't want to buy them.
There seems to be a TON there for a free to play diablo clone.
I guess it's a good thing I don't have itunes.
really don't wanna switch over to bootcamp
Betas over but its out in three weeks.
I hope so... I'm just going by the Founder Packs that they're selling, which seem... overpriced.
The single-character packs are $20, and the 4-character packs are $60 (some of which are just one character, but more bonus costumes to compensate), with $200 netting you all the launch characters and costumes. Granted, each of those packs come with a small amount of in-game currency, but they've not said anything of what items, characters, or costumes will cost if you buy them in-game, so it's pretty impossible for me to guess if that's worthwhile.
I dunno, I hope it's worthwhile, I'm not even opposed to paying to unlock certain things, but those prices are supposedly "discounted" for pre-ordering, and they still seem expensive, so...
If they're charging that much to unlock things, I would be skeptical that actually earning them for free by playing the game would be a realistic endeavor for a casual player.

I have never seen that happen for an album.
Those packs are often over-priced on this kind of thing though, its them trying to hedge their bets in case the whole thing explodes.
I would wait until we get a real money to G ratio before I worry.
For me I'd probably spend about 20 on it to get going. If its more than that I'm probably out.
Yeah, that's what I mean. I'd be willing to pay $20-30 to unlock certain things if the game is good. But if that $20 gets me two characters and/or a couple costumes? No thanks. I'll just rope my friends into playing UA2 with me again.
(this is all also going with my gut feeling that most of the locked characters are going to take either considerable luck or considerable farming time to access for free)
I mean, it's free, so I'll probably at least give it a shot. But the starting character choice of Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, Storm, Daredevil and Thing isn't the most enticing roster for me.
Is it playable with a controller? Or is it KBaM only?

Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
I didn't try it with the controller, but it would probably work so maybe its in there.
Whered you get that starter roster? because it's not what I had to chose from
It does seem a little easy though...or it did until the Chapter 2 boss fight.
