This Week in Games - Fairy Tail Hands-On

I'm far more interested in the Fairy Tail game now that I know it won't be an arena brawler or a Dynasty Warriors clone. For some reason, a turn-based RPG just feels like a better fit.

With all the wanton destruction in the series, I think it being turn-based is a WORSE fit.

Even as a fan a turn based JRPGs I can't help being a bit suprised and a little disappointed that Fairy Tail is going to be turn based. At least it wouldn't have been my first choice for combat.

I am so. Freaking. DONE with the Sword and Shield discourse, especially those who insist on nitpicking "technical" aspects despite their "expertise" coming exclusively from hack channels like Digital Foundry.

There's a bit of daylight between "this company supports lazy and dishonest gamemaking" an "this company supports the oppression of minorities, concentration camps, and cultural genocide." It's not that hypocritical to support outrage for the latter but not the former.

But can we please stop making it sound like people who actively dislike/ are disappointed by sword and shield are the problem.

game freak has seriously messed up on many aspects of sword and shield and I think it's fine to say that this looks like an early access pokemon game rather then the normally polished releases we see in the series.

I mean hopefully we can see free dlc polish the game...but we all know that pokemon gun is going to be the normal quality level of game we see for this gen.

Given the well known toxicity that exists in this fanbase it's incredibly hard to separate the just criticism from people just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain this column was talking around fake Fallout 76 reports a couple weeks ago and passing them off as definitely true stories for the sake of filling the article that week. Just something I remembered when I read the phrase "complaints from sources of dubious quality" about deflecting the SwSh complaints.

Except that's a gross misconstruction of what actually happened. Stop acting like the whole Blizzard thing wasn't about a guy being banned for talking politics on a stream and breaking the rules, and somehow enforcing that means a company supports genocide or concentration camps. You protesting Blizzard does not make you a hero, nor will somehow take down the evil Chinese government if one random video game company goes Bankrupt. It was never about anything more than one eSports player. That's why 99% of people stopped caring about it after he got his prize money back and the issue was considered resolved.

Regardless, you completely ignored the other part of my post which I mentioned Bethesda which has no wiggle room for you to try to play the false equivalencies card.

Gen 1 was polished?

First I've heard of this.

No we don't know, we don't even know if they'll be a third game much less it's title or whether they'll just jump into the DSP remakes or just do like Black & White 2/Ultra Sun & Moon.

There is a world of difference between B/W 2 and Ultra S/M lets make that clear. Second they will either have to patch S/S to a really large degree or do another pokemon game in this gen. I don't think anyone can claim that this game doesn't come acrossed as rushed.

It would be nice, but I doubt it. "Toxic fandom" has become to new defense to deflect any and all criticism against companies or brands over the past couple of years.

Let's be honest here: You can, you just don't want to. It's quite easy to focus on the numerous legitimate criticism and ignore the obvious trolls,

Actually really hard. We all heard about them because it was in the middle of pokemon hype when everyone only had red and blue at the time, and just talked about those games and played them non stop.

Yes, that was pretty much what I was referring to when I mentioned Bethesda. It came off even weirder because that stuff had nothing to do with Japan or Japanese games, and just felt like Heidi was trying to jump in on the outrage bandwagon.
