SMT 5 Vengeance is out, and I had to resort to sources outside the shop to install it. Is there any point checking Tinfoil for possible updates and DLC for this game and any other new titles that will come out on the Switch in the future?

You mean the shops we had to pay/donate via discord to gain access to downloads? I hate to say this, but those tinfoil shops were scummy. Thats why they never last long, its usually somebody having a falling out with their little team or that 1 guy taking the money and run with it. We are better off grabbing those updates/dlc ourselves for free. Finding them on the net isn't hard.

Well what you paid is what you get. Every tinfoil shop that existed all ended the same way. Convenient to the user, but a money scheme to the hoster down the road. HBG/TITZ Pro/Liberah all of them just up an vanish from discord and yet the hoster brags about keeping those installations to himself. I wonder why?

There used to be a "pro" shop but then it got locked out, and later on most of the content removed, I think it's not working anymore.
Then a new public shop appeared, and it's still up, but it stopped updating like 3 months ago, the admins went silent and nothing is known about it.

From what it seems, it is no longer possible to conveniently get anything from a Tinfoil shop. Even is you are willing to pay (which you shouldn't, that's piracy).

The closest you can get to know if updates are needed is to go to tools and check for updates in "DBI. There's another hombrew called "NX-Update-Checker", which is old but it still works just fine. And then manually getting them yourself.

    I've heard of the game.

    Plots pretty decent with good wtf moments
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I was just about to say I've read the synopsis and it has too many tweeests for my liking.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe the first game on its own doesn't.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But it has a sequel and it introduces a dozen more "revelations" and I say fuck that.

    First games like $2 worth trying at least

    Basically a Friday the 13th clone that's single player
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want a Friday the 13th game where I play as Jason Vorhees.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah I don't know why they could never figure out how to get good horror games based on horror movies
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Does AvP count? it was pretty spooky.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's difficult to make games based on movies and movies based on games because they are structured different.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I guess Freddy VS Jason would've been a awesome game if done right
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Choose either character slash up victims
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Swap characters for dream levels and real life levels.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    And in the end select one of them and fight the other guy.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Mortal Kombat style.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    There is a mortal Kombat that has the characters iirc but a more mazy type would be fun
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yes, chasing people around complex terrain would be fun.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Freddy Krueger would chase them through weird surreal dreamscapes, Jason would chase them around the lake.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could even add teleporters like gta style when Freddy wants to make Jason his bitch
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Rumors keep dipping around about a new Freddy movie but I'm pretty sure Robert England is retired at this point
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Teleportation is a must, your speed would always be lower than the victims because both those fuckers prefer to saunter than to run.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    If you teleport to the wrong location the victims escape.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    "Just gonna teleport in front of them and... FUCK THEY DUCKED INTO AN ALLEY INSTEAD OF RUNNING STRAIGHT AND NOW THEY'RE GONE"
