I found Final Fantasy XIV easy to get into. The full game requires a monthly payment but there is a "free trial", which contains the entire base game and the first expansion for free and can last you at least a few hundred hours.
I tried old school runescape a while ago again but did not enjoy it. It's a very grindy game, and unless you like clicking on a tree for 30 minutes then you aren't going to like it either.
Nintendo when they catch me playing Mario 64 at 120fps and a working camera instead of their intended cinematic 30fps. Also they delisted the 3D mario collection on Switch and killed mario just to fuck with you.
Opposite experience here. I liked part 1 because it was mostly linear and had decent pacing, even if I wasn't a big fan of the story. Part 2 is 90% fluff and a useless ubisoft-style open world. It's also way too goofy while trying to act like a serious story I should care about.
I believe while Sonic games do sell well, they aren't huge enough for Sega to focus on them. Their other franchises like Persona, SMT, Yakuza/Like A Dragon etc perform way better.
Since they abandoned their consoles Sonic has been a mascot they use for franchising. Movies, tv shows, comics, tie-ins... They probably make way more money from those than video games
Retro gaming YouTuber Once Were Nerd has been sued and raided by the Italian government.
That's insane. I know many of these handhelds come with pirated roms but taking it out on a youtube reviewer is outrageous. Why don't they just ban them from being shipped to italy?
