Meanwhile I've been getting assblasted with ads for it on every whitelisted app/site. I knew this game existed since it was announced in 2016, I am an avid SMT/Persona player. Why tf am I getting the ads?
Marketing team fucked something up in the targeting.
Great now I have leekspin/levan polka stuck in my head. Thanks OP
Same account options as yours here on mobile, marketing is also off for me.
Thanks for comparing notes!
I have no doubt there is at least one small, enthusiastic group in Tokyo dedicated to building/promoting miniPCs lol. That city has a niche for EVERYTHING that has penetrated Japanese social consciousness.
I don't even see this option on my account. Old Canadian account, but my phone/Paypal app is EU.
Net cafes are already a thing there, but personal gaming at home has always been dominated by the portable market or consoles, partially because Japanese companies are the ones making 2/3 of them, but also because the majority of the "gaming" demographic are younger people who live in small studio apartments in Tokyo, and would opt to have a TV with cable television and consoles in their living rooms.
With streaming becoming a big thing, at home media centres are slowly shifting to personal laptops (especially during the pandemic). I have maybe seen two actual gaming PC towers when I lived there (because again, you can go to a net cafe/PC bang for that), but a lot of the gamers I knew were slowly shifting to modest gaming laptops for their at home setups.
Baldur's Gate MOBA you say...
Only Apple product I care about. God, the Android tablet market is so shit. I miss the Nexus line 😞
the required grind
JRPG moment 😭
There's a lot of implicit assumptions about me and my ego in your reply by grouping me with some nebulous group of "childish"... tech privacy moralists?
You're right, people should take a step back from their devices...
I would love to be a subscriber if Google could guarantee that they won't take my viewing information and then sell it to other advertisers or data brokers, or use that info to push ads on behalf of those brokers in other Google products.
As it stands now, why would I pay with my money AND my data? Google shouldn't get to double dip.
I'm so confused, this game has 94% on metacritic and a "very positive" reception on Steam (91% with 4 000+ reviews). This headline is clickbait as hell, and the comments here are assuming Metaphor: Refantazio got mixed reviews/flamed on socials when it didn't.
The article is just reporting a discussion Katsura Hashino had with Toyama (the creator of Silent Hill) on their views on fan feedback.
This is why I don't care to read Eurogamer articles (and also their cookie preferences with 600+ partners, wtf).
(Also, both Refantazio and the Silent Hill 2 remake are pretty good. Can't believe I have to praise Konami in 2024 🤮)
