The Gamer Geek Blog – Deals & Rumors

GamerGeekHey Geeksters!

No real news things this week, just a lot of black Friday deals. League of Legends and Smite are getting patched – both are just some game play balancing and skins.

The Fire Emblem Fates pre-orders are gone from Amazon, Best Buy, and Gamestop so if you were planning on pre-ordering on black Friday, you’re out of luck. If Nintendo is smart they will do another round of them like with the new Xenoblade X, but even if they don’t, you can buy one game get the other for half off and get the third one for $20 as well, bringing your total to $80 if you pre-order or not.

So while looking for news I find an interesting rumor for the North American release of Bravely Second. They are thinking of changing the Tomahawk class to a Cowboy class. Normally no one would care, if the game plays the same, but this is something that keeps bothering me. Why do games have to change something to cater to that part of the world? I understand localizing certain things like the names of places but changing a whole class? The game devs have to go back and change lines of text, which is a simple fix, but for the animation team, they have to go back and re-draw four new models for every cut scene that the class can be in, which is stupid. All because some people are too sensitive.

Everyone enjoy your food and have a Happy Thanksgiving.
