Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Jarkes  
I’m playing the Nintendo Switch port. Its been giving additional features which are speeding up the game by 3X (which I love), turning off battle encounters and Battle enhancement mode. Battle enhancement fills up your HP and MP to their maximums and will continue to do so when you take hits and cast spells, and will always fill up your limit gauges. Its like you’re completely invincible and can always unleash super attacks. This feature is handy when it comes to grinding after exploring an area for the first time and trying to retrace your steps if you got a game over and lost a lot of progress. But against bosses, its like using the AVGN’s Beat a Game Button.

…Wait, 7 has that too? Thought that was just in the VIII remaster.

@Jarkes  
Which feature?

@Mikey
 
I’m not really suprised though.

And I thought Mario Kart Tour’s subscription service was bad.

@ExtreVile  
Just think about it. You could get the Xbox Game Pass, a service with over 200 games available and new ones added monthly, for 40 dollars less. That shows how bad this Fallout service is.

@Red-Supernova
 
All of those.

so apparently the outer worlds will be on game pass this month even,

If you think about it, consoles have always lagged behind PCs. In graphics and online play.

@Background Pony #40A9  
Not always, in fact, in the ‘80s, the NES was actually better then most home computers, that couldn’t even replicate a sidecscrolling game like Excitebike, or Super Mario.

@Penguin Lagann  
and you could get 5 straight years of the Nintendo online service. 5 years.

 
Also, we have a Silent Hill thread.

Damn. Even IGN is dunking on FO 76’s subscription announcement.

@Jarkes  
Interesting. I wonder if the port of FF9 has the same as well?
 
Regardless, should I do still do the source grinding to help me beat the super bosses?

@Dustcan  
You’ve really screwed up when IGN is taking a shot at it.

Which is worse?
 
A) CTR:NF microtransactions
 
B) Mario Kart Tour’s $5 per month Gold Pass
 
C) Fallout 76’s $100 Annual Subscription service
 
D) All of the Above

@ExtreVile  
C, because at least with the first one is optional while the second is far cheap over time.

@Red-Supernova
 
No idea what you mean by that. And I’m surprised that the Switch port of VII has that considering that as far as I knew it didn’t really change much from other ports of the game.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
If CTR:NF is grindy, than “optional” may be the wrong word.

@Jarkes  
I’m talking about the W-Item glitch that can also work with getting multiple source items that permanently boost your stats.

@Meanlucario  
With 2x Weekend Wumpa Coins, grinding is becoming less stressful.

@ExtreVile  
That’s good at least, though if it’s still a mechanic designed to try to persuade you to buy microtransactions (especially if it’s done in a way to make it a lesser game than if they weren’t in it), than that sounds like a problem.

@ExtreVile
 
1,650 Atoms per month? For $100?
 
Move over, Rarity. We’ve got a new candidate for the Element of Generosity.

I’m gonna bet you can’t buy shit with 1,650 Atoms.

@Meanlucario  
While that is true, would you rather have this game content locked behind lootboxes?
