awesome for Octopath Traveler!! hopefully that triggers more ''effort'' titles on Switch rather than cheap ports
don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

That's what I hope for. SMTV, Bayonetta 3, Yokai Watch 4, etc. are great examples of new titles coming to Switch. We will just have to see how things go for other companies besides Square Enix.

That can't be because at least here there are opposing opinions, while in Resetera everyone just echo the same opinion.

Shining Resonance (PS3) 93106 (75%) Shining Resonance Refrain (PS4) 27623 (22%) Shining Resonance Refrain (NS) 3756 (3%) I'm puzzled about Octopath's outstanding success. Look at the following pictures
Switch owners had the choice between an old-looking RPG and a modern RPG with waifus, modern graphics & animation, and they massively picked the one with weak graphics. I believe that can send a wrong message to 3rd parties : now SquareEnix or anyone can make a PSOne-looking RPG, slap exclusive + nostalgia on it and say "hey, Switch fans, this is just for you". Result being that Switch would get less and less high-end games and more old-school ones with low production values. |
Go Go Octopath!

No. Third party publishers do not publish independent games by definition. See difference between third party publishers and independent developers here.

From that link you posted it seems like the only real difference between indie devs & 3rd party is that indies have a much smaller marketing budget and don't always publish themselves.
It's a distinction that doesn't really seem to have relevance within the context of this discussion, so I'm not quite sure what your point is...
In general I think people refer to 3rd parties as any company who develops a game independently of any console maker. By which definition indie devs would be included.

I have no idea what that gif is supposed to mean but i enjoyed it very much anyway.

it was meant to be a "this post was so bad I wanted to kill myself" joke but I think that's from Pirates of the Carribean and I think he survives so I guess it doesn't work?
For what it's worth I was trying to find a gif of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon when the girl purposely falls off the cliff into the abyss that never ends but I couldn't find it.

This is the same reason Marth and Mars are interchangeable. The underlined characters are transcribed the same way using katakana, and Octopas does sound like Octopus.
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

So the Switch owners in Japan had the choice between a quality game with Metascore 84 and a game with score of 71. So hopefully Square and other publishers get the message and bring more games of higher quality to Switch instead of trying to sidetrack users with flashy animations and waifus.
