Picked up the Collectors Edition of Phantom Blade 0 from China. It doesn't come with the game though so also really keen to get the disc from you guys if are importing it. Game gives me Bujingai/Blood Will Tell vibes. The statue in the CE is stunning so I couldn't resist lol

@Tea I don't mind the shipping fee, as the shipping cost isn't even high in my opinion

@vector - we are investigating a courier solution for customers that order frequently. We unfortuanetly are a smaller indepedent company and as such we cant always amortise costs like the larger guys. Working on it though

So how many orders do I have to make before I qualify for free shipping?

@Vernon1711

If you haven't tried it, Mortal Shell 2 has an open beta you can download and try. I liked it a lot as well

Beast Of Reincarnation is very easy. I'm playing on hard mode and honestly, that feels more like normal to me. Normal and Story mode are laughably easy. Even a person in a vegetative state will be able to play it on those modes.

But I think even if you play on the lower difficulties, the combat and the world traversal is still awesome.

29 Days to Onimusha as well :-D

This conversation below is interesting, I dont know whether I should now go for Mortal Shell 2 which is showing some potential here or Beast of Reincarnation

I suck at soul games so leaning more towards Beast of Reincarnation which I heard is more forgiving....

@Tea

I think the 1st area of Best Of Reincarnation ruins the opening of the game. It's rather dull and seems generic. But at the end of the first chapter and some story things happen, then the game actually gets going. And the later areas are actually quite nice.

I like the combat as well and the traversal mechanics are awesome as well. Just like in Sekiro

@IkariX - you know we have actually had good feedback from customers on the game!

I know its not a 10/10 but seems to be a great experience!

Google Stadia Now Faces Class-Action Lawsuit for 4K/60FPS Claims

by Sam Aberdeen on 23 February, 2021

Google Stadia has recently had somewhat of a struggle in the gaming industry. Google previously announced that they would be winding down Stadia's game development division, which has received a fair bit of backlash and general lack of interest and engagement from the community. The streaming service idea is certainly one with merits, but due to the limitations of many countries who may not have the proper infrastructure yet to keep Stadia running stably, it has led to quite a disjointed post-launch rollout. Unfortunately, Google now faces a class-action lawsuit for some promises made (and not delivered) regarding its 4K/60FPS promises.

A new post on ClassAction.org (as reported by GamesIndustry.biz) details a class-action lawsuit claiming that Google intentionally made deceitful claims about Stadia in order to make money from their consumers. Some of these claims include games like Red Dead Redemption 2 and DOOM Eternal promising to hit 4K at 60FPS when in reality, high-end PCs and gaming consoles were required in order to hit those targets. This was especially concerning for consumers with low internet speeds who could not achieve those marketed targets, despite Google promising that Stadia would still hit those marks for all users.

Just before Stadia launched, Google stated that users with slower internet connections would not be able to reach 4K/60FPS as originally advertised. The suit claims that the information was presented "quietly" in "an apparent effort to cover up the incorrect information that would soon come to light".

The suit also specifically points their attention to posts made by Google, DOOM Eternal developer id Software and Destiny 2 developer Bungie, who all made social media posts promising their respective titles would be able to target 4K and 60FPS for all users, allegedly not taking into account the limitations many countries (and even rural America) still face when it comes to consistent internet connections and caps. The lawsuit is still currently ongoing.

Hell, Microsoft and Sony best hope this doesn't succeed or they'll be needing to put together a portfolio of indie games and remasters to proove the Series X/PS5 does provide 40k/60.

Stable, Fast, Uncapped and Affordable internet is a lot less common than people think. Even in SA an area would TECHNICALLY have access to fiber, but it differs from block to block and street to street, or has hellish hidden costs, or just flat out stops working. It's better than it was but still very rocky.
