Has anyone actually found the NSP/XCI somewhere?

I've found an update file but the base game doesn't seem to be anywhere I have access to.

On which website, so I can avoid it?

[-] monstoor@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 2 years ago

There is a torrent floating around but availability is 20.9% at the moment.

Do either of you know of a great warrior by the name of loves2spooge?

[-] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago

He fought with my father, DildoShwaggins.

[-] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Taodung com has the update but not the base.

My friend wants me to ask what site you're avoiding

[-] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

In case you didn't see it, someone commented where it is.

[-] Omgboom@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

It's on a bunch of my private torrent trackers. I'm sure it will filter it's way down to public trackers shortly

[-] parlaptie@feddit.org 34 points 2 years ago

Now all the emulator devs just need to please not brag about being able to emulate it.

[-] arefx@lemmy.ml 19 points 2 years ago

That's it, thank you.

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

Huh, that wasn't there yesterday when this was posted, I've checked everything I have access to

Either way, it's everywhere now

[-] yournamehere@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

i can see it there...so

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 years ago

And if you are wondering why Sony is killing physical games...

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 94 points 2 years ago

We'll keep wondering cause the shift to digital clearly isn't stopping piracy.

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 years ago

Like almost everything, it isn't about stopping piracy entirely.

Physical copies get sold early by stores/cashiers that don't care. Or they get outright pocketed/copied at the factories and warehouses. Which lead to the constant "This nintendo game leaked a week or a month or whatever early". Which... less so after the lawsuits but it means emulators can be updated to support the games before they even hit shelves.

Digital only doesn't entirely stop that. But it tends to lead more toward "an unknown fake influencer posted all the cutscenes of this game online a week early".

[-] lukecooperatus@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it's done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over "oh no a finished game got leaked early" is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn't matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it'll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn't have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.

[-] dadarobot@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 2 years ago

Yeah i agree. Ffxvi just came out on pc and square is whining about not hitting sales goals. Like visions of mana just came out and im still playing that. Give me a couple months to buy the game, dorks

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

Releasing physical months after the digital release basically guarantees you are only selling to enthusiasts and it no longer is economically viable. That is why companies like LRG exist.

[-] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 years ago

Is saving the game from an early leak worth getting rid of physical games? I hope not.

I might be unique in this but I'll never "buy" a digital game. They're impossible to resell and I can't lend it to friends or my kids, they'd need my account or console. Plus I'll have the physical game forever, digital games are only good as long as the servers are up.

I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this, so if companies stop offering physical games then I'm not going to buy them. (I'll just pirate). I've preordered Zelda from GameStop. I support the content I want more of, like Zelda games, and I'll continue to buy each one. If I don't, then they might not make more.

As a PC gamer who has been basically digital only since the late 00s/early 10s? Probably?

But the thing to remember is that, like with DRM, the studios have this data. There are orgs dedicated to analyzing (and selling...) sales data that can detect the impact that Mass Effect PC being "unplayable" for pirates because of securom for the first week or so had on sales (anecdotal but... probably real positive). Because this kind of stuff costs money (well, less so for removing a disc drive...) and they aren't going to do that if they think it will hurt revenue.

[-] naeap@sopuli.xyz 8 points 2 years ago

Because you can't easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?

oh no! big corpo nintemdo is gonna be so sad!

lemme play a song on the world's smallest violin.

[-] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

But...but...there might be spoilers!!

I think it's so silly how every article about this talks about the danger of spoilers because the game leaked early. There are going to be spoilers galore once the game officially releases in a few days. What difference does it make?

[-] weirdo_from_space@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I was going to write a snarky comment about how people can't stay off of social media even for five days, but then I wondered "what is there to even spoil?"

It's freaking Zelda, we all know the drill by now. I truly don't know what is there to worry about.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

I bet Gannondorf is involved!

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

lemme play a song on the world's smallest ~~violin~~ ocarina.

[-] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

Ooohhhh nooobody givvvvess a shiiiit

[-] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Oh no!!! Poor Nintendo. It's not like they are a horribly toxic, evil, abusive company who loves to throw their weight around or anything like that.

I couldn't think of this happening to a more deserving company.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

I've got it up and running in Yuzu with prod.keys 18.0. At least I watched the opening cinematic. Not that interested in playing. Just seeing if it was true.

[-] skankhunt42@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

It... Kind of sucks.... I don't think I'll even bother to open my physical copy when it arrives.

I think the idea is neat to echo monsters but to have that be my main attack, it's not fun for me.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Hmm. That doesn't sound particularly enjoyable. I haven't played a Zelda game since Skyward Sword, and that one really rubbed me the wrong way. Formulaic and dull. I suppose that's why the next entry made such drastic changes. I might just emulate BotW someday to see what all the fuss is about.

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

If you played and liked Wind Waker you'll probably dig BotW and TotK.

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

That's encouraging. Wind Waker might be my favorite.

[-] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

Someone recompile it fast, hahah

[-] Underwaterbob@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

LOL at people worried about spoilers for a Zelda game.

[-] koncertejo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

My early impressions are certainly quite positive, I love how experimental it is and very willing to explore new gameplay styles. Certainly curious to see what the metascore ends up being, probably higher than Link's Awakening HD?
