That's a bummer. I hope they bring it to you soon or at least give you back your money.

There are often a few brick and mortar stores (ie, Target, GameStop, Walmart) that don't advertise openly about having them if the postal route flakes out.

Gotta wait a few weeks for it to be declared as "lost" first before EB Games will replace or reimburse it. I've spoken to someone with AusPost and they know where it SHOULD be, there's just a massive backlog because of COVID safety requirements. Unfortunately it took a detour through Sydney for processing, and that's a black hole for AusPost right now.

No, though developers can region lock their games on an individual basis if they want. I don't think any actually have.

Your online account may be region locked in certain cases. Like for example if you have Mario Party Superstars North American cartridge, and you have a subscription to Nintendo switch online in Europe, that subscription won't actually work for the online modes. That kind of thing mainly only gives any hassle to people with early review copies.

really weird that the record number of dislikes was less than 100k before. that must be underreported. maybe they only count 10% of dislikes because they were making people feel bad or something like that.

Nah, it's more that people on average like Nintendo more, and NSO isn't actually that bad in the grand scheme of things.

Now, 140k dislikes is still baby talk, look at this:

260k+ dislikes. Now we're talking! By internet logic, you'd expect GTA V to be a failure, but:

Wikipedia posted:

Extensively marketed and widely anticipated, the game broke industry sales records and became the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, earning $800 million in its first day and $1 billion in its first three days.

Well poo poo, I guess the more dislikes you have, the more you sell. Nintendo, take notice! Add Gameboy-titles and raise the NSO-price 3x! Collect those hate-likes! :lol:

I'd like to get an RPG on the Switch but I've not really played any before. I have Digimon: Cyber Sleuth and it was a lot of fun until I put it down for a month and the game becomes nearly impossible to pick back up because it's hard to figure out which part of the story you've made it to without going back and retracting every single step in an FAQ until you find the one NPC in a random hub to progress the story again

I've got passing interest in FFX and Xenoblade Chronicles but any suggestions are fine. I tried googling but every website is just a bunch of listicles in no particular order

Dragon Quest 11 was my goty a couple years back, it's the JRPG standard that pretty much invented the genre

Shin megami tensei V comes out soon too, it's like Pokemon only with actual demons and probably harder

That's them announcing it being ported to another new generation of consoles instead of just making a new one, prior sales have nothing to do with it.

I remember doing this, 10+ years ago. Nowadays sadly that stopped working since I often just click on everything that interests me even remotely, which creates too much chaff to walk through to find the few hidden gems I really do want to see again.

So I'm now forced to sort favorites into multiple different folders or I'll never see them again around my 1000+ liked videos.

It's always nice seeing someone immediately getting what a useless joke of a metric dislikes are, we're 100% in agreement here.

I guess I don't hate YouTube on the concept of it being a place that hosts videos. But it is so loving ubiquitous and it gives platform to so many annoying fuckwits and then since there's money to be made there's tons of incentive to advertise these fuckwits and then I have to see their dumb faces in all these gaming threads. I don't want to know who Asmongold is, drat it.

There's only one version on the Switch so yeah 11S, nintendo prices never go down even used

I can get it on Game Pass but the idea was a long game I can play at work in downtime and that doesnt work on a console

I think there's still a demo on the eShop. It's like the first 10 hours of the game or something and you can pick up right where you left off if/when you buy the game.

That works for me then, I'll be busy for the next two weeks with work but by the time I get to sit down and really play it maybe it'll be on sale for Black Friday

I saw that in a review and if you can switch between them at-will it'd be a great way to change the game up a little and preventing burnout while still progressing

If you have NSO there's the two Breath of Fire's on the SNES. If you have the NSO expansion there's Phantasy Star IV and Shining Force as well. Though with retro JRPGs come retro issues!

I think playing that demo is a good idea too. Because I love DQ11, but I feel there's a certain corniness to it that could understandably make people bounce off of it. Ni No Kuni is on mega sale a lot and goes for pretty cheap used. I enjoyed the bit I played, but I shelved it because I have 1,000 other games I need to play still.
