Good to see they’re at least trying to improve it. Steam sale is in about a month, so I’ll check back then and maybe grab it if the price is right.
Eh, it’ll be about 4 months by the time summer sale hits. I could see 25-33% off, especially considering how negatively it was received.
Leave it to the pseudo EA of Japan, to release a ~25 year old game with hilariously glaring problems, and then release staggered patches to try redeem it. /facepalm
Only thing I’m surprised by, is the fact they aren’t calling these patches “dlc” and trying to charge people for them.
Yea I know right. What a crappy, sleazy, pointless thing to do , to release the best game your company ever made, on PC finally, and then when people point out that you did it wrong, what a pathetic cringy thing to do to fix all of those problems to make your product more appealing, following through on your word after saying “We hear your complaints and are working to fix it.”
Lol you wannabe elitists are hilarious, absolutely pathetic.
And don’t forget to give us Chrono cross remaster..
