RE4 having a different story makes sense because they didn't actually call it "RE4 Remake" unless I missed that somewhere.

So they're not even saying it's a remake.

why is that a 20 second video

please help me understand

More people engage with the post by clicking on the video instead of scrolling past a photo so it gets boosted more?

I know this isn't an accomplishment anymore but beating the Ginyu Force SBR stage in 4 turns with 0 damage is very fun. This team is pretty busted even without any of the banner units.

10 years with mobile games and mobile pricing models and people are still surprised when new mobile games have mobile pricing models.

Hmm maybe I'm the only person who thought this looked fun? I also haven't played a Sonic game since Adventure 2 so I'm not a blind fanboy or anything.

The random floating platforms and rails are a little odd but it's not any stranger than random floating platforms in a Mario game so it doesn't really bother me. Yeah it's at odds with the super realistic vibe they're trying to create but if it's fun I don't really mind.

I'm willing to withhold judgement at least for now!

Got new Ginyu with 2nd discount (50 total)

gg ez

Reva turning good is so painfully obvious I'll be shocked if it doesn't happen. Or she'll sacrifice herself to save someone.

Yeah it's my fault for thinking I was safe at 600k health with 4 attacks about to hit me I guess. I really wish they would just make super attacks permanently visible or at least give me a rough estimate of how much damage I'm taking.

But I also hate difficult content in this game because it's all basically RNG. I've never completed an ESBR despite having a box that could probably do them all because I just think they're miserable. IDBH is the perfect balance of difficulty for me I think.

I'm going to paint a picture of my latest Kamehameha SBR attempt.

Final battle, INT Goku is only character remaining. I have 600k health so I don't use an Android 8 or Princess. Goku is doing 4 attacks (1, 1, 2).

I put LR AGL Gohan in first slot, STR LR Goku/Vegeta in 2nd slot and LR TEQ Goku/Vegeta in 3rd slot. So the 3rd slot is taking 2 attacks and there's a type disadvantage but I wanted him off rotation.

Gohan takes 30k damage, 2nd slot takes about 50k damage, 3rd slot takes 50k damage from attack and 500k from super attack and I'm dead.

I fucking hate this game sometimes. Yeah I could have put the TEQ card in another slot but I'm sure if I did that then Goku would have supered that slot because this game knows exactly how to fuck you and make you waste 20 minutes.

I even said out loud as the super attack started "well there's no way this does 500k".

It doesn't sound like Lebron actually did the voice either which makes me wonder why they didn't try going after Jordan for the Space Jam rep instead of Lebron. Maybe Jordan was too expensive.

I like Diego Luna and I think Andor is a fine character but I absolutely do not care about that show. I'm going to watch it, of course, but I don't expect it to be good.

Played a Garnet who was using a badge that showed they had 650 games in the tech 2 alpha. I can't put into words how badly this Garnet demolished my Superman.

I agree it does look a lot slower than it feels. But I feel like I'm spamming air dodge and dodge about as much as I was when I was playing Nick All Stars! Since there's no block you really have to be moving and dodging constantly because it's the only way to actually avoid getting hit.

When you remove shields, shield pressure, and grabs, the entire game becomes about spacing and footsies which can be a little frustrating when everyone has the aerial mobility of Jigglypuff.

After about 10-20 hours I'm starting to have a little less fun but maybe it's just because people are wising up to Superman's super armor. But it does feel like every character is way too fast/mobile and way too safe. Being able to dash out of every attack at any moment is a little too ridiculous I think.

I mean I know I'm abusing Superman's armor but I shouldn't be able to fully charge an attack and then dash out of it. I can basically just spam it and fish for pokes to my armor or dash away for no punish.

Also I know Shaggy is the beginner character or whatever but I'm already getting pretty sick of seeing him and Harley in every other game. The good Shaggy players will just run away and throw sandwiches at you and then follow-up once you get hit. They can also combo into like 50 damage if they manage to snag you with their neutral air. And good Harley players are just untouchable with bombs and traps all over the stage.

I tried playing Arya and Batman but it feels so hard to get a kill with them. Bugs also suffers from the same problem that I can basically only kill off the top but there's so much air mobility that people just fast fall back to the stage immediately.

I haven't spent any time looking at guides for characters or anything so maybe there are tools to counter these issues but everyone triangle dashing around like Magneto and fishing for hits is getting a little old.

Let me know if anyone wants to play later, I'm Skullbone on Steam

I just played against a Harley who completely wrecked me and barely took 50 damage. It felt like they were playing on a different PLANET. No idea what to do in those matches where they're bouncing around the screen at 100mph and you can't hit them.

Okay I just played for like 4 hours and this game is a lot of fun. I was tearing people up with Superman and Bugs but there were a few matches where I got completely obliterated too.

I've played through DMC3 about 5-10 times but that game has multiple characters and it's pretty short.

Games in the 90-100 hour range for me are Witcher 3, Xenoblade 2, DQ11, and maybe Persona 5. But those were just long games, I didn't do much achievement hunting or crazy bonus stuff (except DQ11 I got platinum because that game rules).

Thanks to @WhiteLens I also got a code so I'll be playing all day tomorrow!

The new game is obviously going to be Final Fantasy IX: The Show: The Game

I thought about paying for a code too but the beta ends in like 5 days so I can't justify it.

Also there's no progress carryover from this beta and the actual game releases in open beta (with progression saved) in July.

Where did you get a code? I gave up but at least the open beta will be out in July.

I always hate leaving an LR banner without ending on an LR so I decided to do 1 more multi. Got LR INT Gohan and LR GT Trio dupes so I guess I'm satisfied now.

The animation started with Goten + Tien so I was bummed but then Blue Vegito showed up. I'm not sure I knew that could happen if Vegeta wasn't one of the characters who shows up.

Still nothing for me

:-(

That means I absolutely WASTED $3. I will never financially recover from this

Gwent for people who don't have an attention span lol

Yeah there definitely is some Gwent overlap but the 3 locations being randomized out of a pool of like 50+ every game adds a lot of variety I think. Also the cube bluffing is a really cool dynamic. I don't mind quicker games as long as they actually have some decent strategy happening.

My main worry is that the 6 turn limit and the simplicity of the design will limit how creative they can be with cards. But a 12 card deck means you can build some fun synergies and see them happen more often then not. I think there will be a lot more custom decks in this game instead of meta decking the best 10 decks or whatever.

Ben Brode's new game finally revealed:

Marvel Snap

First look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61zjv1HcJDI

Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMEEHH1E8ko

It honestly looks pretty good and it's fun to see weird Marvel characters getting cards.

There's also a generic Ninja and Brute that have been datamined. The rumor is that the ninja will have a Naruto costume and the Brute will have a Hulk and Wreck it Ralph costume.

Original topic purged but I needed to vent on how titled this game makes me compared to OW1 now that the first beta is almost done.

I understand that tanks are supposed to be OP but I really think they need to tone it down or something. I just had a game on King's Row where Winston was basically unkillable and he got 4 ults in 2 minutes. He was just standing on the frontline in his shield and we couldn't do anything to him because Ana and Mercy were healing him from 100 miles away.

I'm sure this isn't a problem if you have a coordinated team but with pubs it's way too hard to focus these tanks. I had another game where a Hammond player went 36-0 on Route 66. He would roll into our team, do some damage, and then just roll right away. The only way I could see killing him would be a Zenyatta/Sombra or Zen/Mei combo but Mei's freeze barely even slows him down now!

Then when I play attack I feel like my guns are shooting peanuts half of the time. I just played a game where I hit Moira with 4 point blank Reaper shots and her health did not drop. I did not miss those shots and I saw them all connect and she just skittered away.

Genji does feel okay but my main in OW1 was Tracer and she feels weak as hell. If you dive an Ana or Mercy you better hope you land EVERY shot in your clip or they're going to be back to full health by the time you reload. And good luck ever hitting Mercy now that they made superjump easier and she can just permanently fly now.

It really feels like they need to rebuild a lot more heroes to be focused around 5v5 to make this game feel better because right now it's just making me tilted.

How is everyone else feeling?

Chicago Zoo and no I don't like going. The big cats are always pacing around and looking stressed out and it makes me sad.

My favorite character is DooDoo because his name is how I describe my experience playing Three Houses.

Checking on Steam I did actually play NASB for 35 hours so it wasn't a complete waste of money I guess.

But yes the online died a little too quickly and the APM was destroying my hand. Mashing air dodge into the ground non stop for 5 minutes was going to ruin me.

The F2P model for this game looks okay unless the characters are crazy expensive. They're actually putting a lot of effort into different costumes with unique voice lines (and voice actors too I think) so I could justify spending some money on cool costumes if the game is fun.

All of the gameplay affecting stuff can only be earned by playing and leveling up your characters.

As someone who paid full price for the Nickelodeon game I'm glad this one is free so that if it bombs at least I'm not out $40 lol

Woo it looks like I signed up in September 2020. Thanks, past me! I don't use Facebook much though so IDK if I'll actually get a check. I've definitely been tagged in stuff since I've lived here in 2013 though.

I can't remember if I signed up for this or not back in the day. The last date to sign up was November 2020

Since Nickelodeon flopped I've been looking forward to this game! Hopefully they manage to find some success because playing a platform fighter online with actual good netcode sounds like a great time.

If anyone gets an extra code and I don't get in I'd greatly appreciate an invite!

Is that this year? I feel like that movie has been completely silent

Yeah the release date is November 11th! I thought the same thing but then I remembered that we just got our first Thor trailer like a month ago and that movie comes out in a few months. We'll probably see the first trailer right before Thor 4 in July.

No, and the top grossing movie of the year is probably going to be Black Panther 2 unless people don't want to watch without Boseman.

Part 2 LR is SSJ Goku/Gohan. It's an interesting cards because all of the animations are new so they're not based on anything from the anime. It's like some weird what if where Goku and Gohan tag teamed Cell instead of giving him the senzu.

Yeah overall I'm not really sure how to feel about Ozark. The message that bad people use their power to avoid consequence while poor people get screwed over and can't escape their situation is beaten over your head for 4 seasons and gets a little old.

I don't necessarily need to see bad guys get punished to have a satisfying ending but there was absolutely no catharsis in the final season. Marty barely existed in the final season and it's very obvious they ran out of ideas for most of the other side characters. Would have loved to actually see some character growth from Marty or even 1 scene where he pushes back against Wendy.

Wendy is a good character but good lord is she insufferable to actually watch most of the time. It's like yeah you can make an interesting character who happens to be insufferable but that still means that we're spending most of our time being annoyed by this character. She moved past "love to hate" into "get off the screen" in Season 3 I think.

Too many wasted characters and overall plot stagnation means that I'm not sure I would actually recommend Ozark to someone.

If you're a Celeste fan you gotta watch Celeste.SMC. It's a SMW romhack that plays like Celeste and Grandpoobear is awesome.

Also Buddies are gone too. Tempting to reinstall Hearthstone to play some BGs but I know it's not a good idea.

I liked Elden Ring, did not like Bloodborne, and loved Sekiro. The builds aren't very diverse in Sekiro so they get to build the entire game around basically 1 build. You never feel like there's an area or a boss that's screwing you because of your build like you do in other Souls games sometimes.

Main thing I dislike about Bloodborne: you have to farm potions. I don't care if they're easy to get later; you should not have to farm potions in a Souls game. It's tedious and it adds nothing to the experience. Second thing I dislike about Bloodborne: most of the bosses are built around parrying with the gun and you have to farm bullets. Stop making me farm things Bloodborne!

One thing I'm confused about with this series is Hayden returning. I mean I think that's great he's coming back but why does it matter who's playing Vader? Unless he's going to be unmasked or in flashbacks or something I'm not sure why I should be excited about him returning.

1 hour thesis: OW1 felt a LOT better to play

Sure its 1000 hours vs 1 hour but this game does not feel very good right now. All of my guns felt like toy guns.

A week later the tech beta finally appeared in my client! Woo!

Dunkin' Donuts used to have a pretty great Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich they have discontinued for a while now.

They also had a honey mustard chicken bacon ciabatta sandwich that was really good. That was my pick

Rumors have been teasing a big Sony acquisition lately. Most people speculated that it's going to be konami franchises but square makes sense too. Square and Sony always felt like they had a good relationship, especially back in the ps1 and ps2 eras

I caved and did a rotation on Cell. Only thing I got was Kale+Caulifla and then I decided to buy STR Super Vegeta with coins.
