Services cost money to function.

As said before, this is the equivalent of Google charging $16/yr for about 100MBs of storage space on Google Drive.

Almost every non-Pokemon JRPG has had at least some active element since, like, 2000.

I recently played Dragon Quest XI and it has the most basic combat imaginable. Oddly enough they give you the ability to move around the battle space, but it does absolutely nothing.

I'm sure it does, but it would probably involve some reflexes and timing more closer to a fighter than an RPG.

You've never played a game with real-time combat before? What's with the "I'm sure it does"?

How I imagine it, animations would play a major role, so you would be taking a risk by performing certain attacks, opening yourself up to be attacked by your enemy.

It's still in real-time, meaning if you just sit there and not do anything then you're gonna get crushed.

We already have Pokken for actual Pokemon fights. Rather implement some sort of thinking into the game.

....So you think RTC doesn't require thought?

Maybe not RTB, but something like the ATB system in FF7 and FF13, for sure.

What makes FF7's combat system different? Turn-based combat is turn-based combat.

So basically it costs nothing?

$16 a year for what amounts to megabytes of cloud storage.

Is this a game or is this like some snuggly collecting app

It's cloud storage for your Pokemon. Basically an RL version of the Box feature from the games. You'd be paying $16 a year for something that would take up the least possible amount of bandwidth imaginable on Game Freak/Nintendo's end.

Afghan airline Ariana has denied one of its planes crashed, prompting questions about the aircraft that came down in eastern Afghanistan on Monday. The plane came down in Deh Yak district in Ghazni province, south-west of the capital Kabul, in an area with a strong Taliban presence.

Local officials initially said it was a passenger plane belonging to Ariana. The airline issued a strong denial, saying it only had two planes in the air and that they were safe. Mirwais Mirzekwal, chief executive of Ariana, told Reuters: "It does not belong to Ariana because the two flights managed by Ariana today from Herat to Kabul and Herat to Delhi are safe."

Ghazni provincial governor Wahidullah Kaleemzai later told private broadcaster TOLOnews: "There is no exact information on casualties and name of the airline."Afghanistan's aviation body also said that no civilian planes had crashed, and Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told the BBC that his group had not yet located the aircraft.

Ghazni police commander Ahmed Khalid Wardak told the BBC that there was no information about casualties, and that it was unclear what had caused the plane to crash. He added that the aircraft had been set on fire.Iranian state media also published footage it claimed was of the aircraft, and speculated that it may have belonged to the US Air Force.

Why is Biden so high?

Are we seriously going to have to vote between Biden and Trump in November?

The average American voter is mostly uninformed outside of major political events, and even then, not so much. They associate Biden with simply experience, and his association with the Obama administration. The logic is "well, he was the VP, so how could he mess up as bad as Trump?"

While it wasn't as good, I'd also like a remaster of Road Rage tbh

It was my first PS2 game and I have fond memories of it

I recently replayed Road Rage (say that three times fast) on my Wii U via Nintendont (GCN) emulation and the game was a lot worse than I remember.

I absolutely loved Doom 2016, one of my favorite FPS games of all time, but Doom Eternal doesnt really look to be bringing anything new to the table.

Literally every single aspect is different. It runs on a new engine, the entire movement and combat system has been overhauled, there's considerably more variety to levels and environments, levels are now longer and more open, there's a surprisingly well-made hub world with a sandbox combat mode, almost all enemies have been redesigned, there are new enemies, the lore's throwing in new factions, and there's so much more.

Eminem stopped being relevant in the mid 2000s. His first few albums will always be amazing, and he's cemented himself as one of the greats, but he's been horrible for years and years. It's 2020 and he still hasn't learned that super-fast lyrical miracle rappity-raps aren't impressive anymore.

I've heard the direct opposite; that wireless charging ruins batteries.

So we can expect three of the six characters in FP2 to be from Fire Emblem.

what ruined to me the most was the game selection.

both the NES and SNES Classic carried a stellar lineup. Sony just gave us a mixed bag with this one...

Interestingly enough, there are a ton of games referenced within its code that weren't included.

I know everyone's pissed off about the character choice, but seriously, this fighting style looks sick.

They should just create a FE spinoff fighting series that has more advanced mechanics.

Have you ever played on an actual PS1?

I have, and the dithering and "seams" were nowhere as bad on actual hardware than on emulated hardware. Even if you hack the PS Classic and run a more recent version of its emulator, the problems persist.

It's pretty damn popular

It's nowhere as iconic as other Nintendo franchises on a worldwide scale, and certainly not deserving of 5+ characters.

Now Sakurai is rambling about counting on his fingers. This is a joke.

Why doesn't Sakurai just make a Fire Emblem fighting game?

It baffles me how Nintendo thinks FE is as popular as Mario, Zelda and Pokemon. They're dedicating more time to explaining what Fire Emblem is, than they did on the trailer.

They look indistinguishable from the other Fire Emblem characters.

Forget about the initial price, non-analog controller and lack of decent games, but the emulator it used was basically something you could download at home, and there are tons of graphical imperfections and shaky polygons.

A regular employee can just quit and work somewhere else if they want. Theyre not actually as invested.

When CEOs quit/get fired for wrongdoing, they often get severance packages and golden parachutes which exceed what a regular employee would earn in a lifetime.

You might want to look into this. Granted, many people have complained about the controls across all platforms, but not in the same way you seem to be. Except for the sluggishness. But thats something youll get used to. That game is a different speed than people have become accustomed to.

I have a high-end system and I've never had any input issues.
