Luigis Mansion 2 remake :0

HOLY SHIT!!!!! Is this real?!

Mario RPG REMAKE?!

This Detective Pikachu game looks like it belongs on GameCube. Jesus.

Super Mario Universe lets goooooo

Why did nobody tell me this show is so good

Assassins Creed. Its so blegh, I dont understand why this series ever became popular

This was the most weirdly-okay-not-good-but-also-not-bad movie I've ever seen in my life. The script felt like a first draft of a movie script, scenes felt contrived, the movie moved at a strangely fast pace, jokes were either really good, or fell completely flat. I think it was objectively not actually a good movie, but I couldn't help but enjoy myself watching it. I think it helped that I'm a big Mario fan and I was having a lot of fun looking for easter eggs and throwbacks to Mario games.

I hope the next Nintendo movie feels more like a real movie, but this was a fun time in spite of the obvious problems it had.

FF7R did have DLC though

For FFXVI? That really is not inspiring confidence.

Why not?

They already said there will be no DLC sure plans could change, but right now theyre saying no to DLC

It's almost as if the protest was extremely poorly thought out and organized, and a lot of the subs that closed down did so without community feedback or knowledge, so people complained.

250 hours :0 I'm at like 130 lol

Played for the first time in like a week. Went around and got all of the koroks and caves and mini bosses I was missing in and around Hyrule Field. Then I did a few random caves that I knew about but hadnt got up yet. Then I went down to the depths and killed a few random mini bosses I hadnt hit up yet. Feels good to just do stuff in this game

Thank you! Also how did you know its my 33rd :0

Biden's first name is Joseph.

Okay I feel like a dingus now. I was like "I can't think of a single communist named Joseph in the government" but I get it now lol

It's a satire meme buddy simmer down

No seriously, I don't know who it's referring too.

Ooooh you remembered!

Communist named Joseph took power? Literally who?

Yes but not on day 1, simply won't have time to play. Will a few days later though.

I thought we were having steamed clams

It's big because the GPU and RAM generate a LOT of heat. Make sure the space it's in gets good airflow. It doesn't matter if it's horizontal or vertical, I've had mine in the horizontal position for 2 years, but it needs space to radiate heat away.

Oh, don't worry, even after he's dead we won't hear the end of it. They'll probably try to make his birthday a national holiday or some bullshit and make us hang his picture in every room.

Better than XV for sure, want to play the full game before I fully judge it.

Had my PS5 for almost 2 years now, bought it with FF7R and Bloodborne since I never owned a PS4. Cannot wait for FF7R2

Yes I played it. Combat is fun although fighting random trash encounters is too easy, fighting bosses is fun. Story and world building are intriguing, it's darker than past Final Fantasy games. Visuals I think are just okay for the hardware, but there was a big cinematic fight sequence at the end of the demo that took a BIG performance hit and it was extremely framey.

I think, as a big Final Fantasy fan, this game will be good, not spectacular. From what I've played it doesn't really do anything bad per se, but it also doesn't really push the envelope.

Yeah while modern Zelda is very goofy, Zelda has a lot of mature and dark elements, well older Zelda games do at least. But if Illumination is making it, maybe it will be like Wind Waker or something, one of the more cartoony games.

Also this reminds me I still haven't played Death Stranding

While a lot of problems did stem from Konami's actions around that time, Kojima still had a hand in how that game turned out. Taking 6 years and $80 million and still only delivering 60% of a game isn't really a good look for Kojima.

And I say this and I like Kojima, and I liked MGSV for what it was, but I can't pretend it wasn't also his fault how unfinished that game was.

Oh thats awful. Yeah you might want to talk to a professional about it

Demo finally dropped late last night, played it a couple hours ago. So first of all, you all know I'm a big Final Fantasy nerd, I've played all of them, I've been very excited for this game, so I might be a bit biased, but I'll give my honest assessment of what's here. I was playing on graphics mode, with english voice acting.

The demo has two parts to it, but it mostly covers the first couple hours of the game, essentially it's the prologue. It opens very strongly. A lot is going on here, introduction to the characters and world, they do some interesting world building with the branded and using crystals for magic, we get intrigue, secret alliances, sex, and a taste of the conflicts and wars happening across Valisthea, and of course the big Eikons stomping around. It drew me in very quick. Combat is fun, it's quick and snappy, dodging and countering attacks feels good. You can heal with the press of a button, even when you wouldn't think you'd be able to, like being knocked back from an attack. Maybe it's because I have a little bit of experience playing action games like this, but I found the combat to be easy. I never felt the need to equip any timely accessories. I did occasionally get hit, but I never felt like I was in danger of dying. Fighting the random mooks and trash monsters I never really felt challenged, but fighting the big monsters and bosses was a lot of fun and kept me on my toes, and it felt good to chain dodges together, and following it up with a dash and a big attack to stagger the enemy. This is the same team that makes FFXIV, and I could feel it in some fights, with the big glowing aoe markers and big tells and windups. This feels like a very accessible action RPG, and I think that's a good thing. Voice acting I thought was for the most part pretty decent, but sometimes the lip syncing on the models was a bit off.
And actually speaking of the models, the visuals in general I feel are just okay. The character design is there, textures look adequate, but something about the faces looked a little too plasticy. Environments look okay so far, but I could tell the couple of zones I went to were small and I could kinda make out where the map ends and the skybox begins. And yes, this is not a big open world game, or anything like that, maps are distinct loading zones. But loading was quick because it's a PS5 game. Monster design I thought was pretty good, the goblins reminded me of the FF1 goblins. Actually a lot of the stuff I saw reminded me of past FF games, like the castles look like a 3D interpretation of the castles from old 2D FF games, so that's pretty neat. There's two moons in the sky, one small and red. I felt like I was playing Final Fantasy. There was a problem I noticed with the performance though. Towards the end of the demo, I noticed a distinct dip in performance, I noticed some enemies just popped into place, and there were some significant frame drops during a big cinematic boss fight sequence. Maybe these problems don't exist in performance mode, but in graphics mode they were definitely there.
Without going into spoilers, this is a pretty dark game though, pretty violent, also maybe a bit edgy. Some of the cutscenes and battle sequences characters were throwing out the occasional "shit!" or "fuck!" which doesn't really offend me, but it also doesn't really make a game feel mature, you know? Just sounded a bit out of place. I hope they focus a lot on the politics and intrigue, because this was clearly inspired by Game of Thrones, and that's the stuff that made Game of Thrones good in the early years. But I want to see more of the story, I want to see where this is going.
There's also the second part of the demo that opens up after completing the prologue, which takes you several hours further into the game, and lets you play with more Eikonic abilities and loadouts. The fights here are pretty fun, and it made me interested to see what else the combat has to offer. In the launch presentation last night they showed an elite hunt mark and showed a lot of different abilities and customization options and some different playstyles, so I'm curious to try these things out.

In the end, it was a pretty good demo. I got a good 3 hours out of it, which is pretty significant for a demo. Again my biggest gripes are just okay visuals, and the performance problems that only occurred in a specific location. But from what I've seen, I think this will be a good game, not an amazing game. But I'm still excited to play it.

Is this the robot dinosaur game

Never played the original Ghost Trick but I heard it was great

This guy has got drip

Eww Mega Man gacha

Path of the Goddess or something. This trailer released a few days ago

Hoping for a new Mega Man game but I have my clown makeup ready

For real though nobody heard of these apps until a few days ago. The outrage is manufactured.

Conspiracy theory: The subreddits participating in the blackout are unwitting participants in a plan to get people talking about reddit again to help drive traffic

No please don't. I don't want to hear everyone's plans for a Nintendo Cinematic Universe until the end of time. We already did that a couple months ago, I thought we collectively realized that was a dumb thing.

Ill be honest, I didnt know Reddit third party apps were a thing until everyone pretended to start caring about them this week

You know how sometimes youll find bananas on the ground surrounded by suspicious trees? Try burning the banana next time you see that

Yeah Ill be honest, Starfield looks great

I took a lunch break before watching the Starfield presentation. Wow they literally went wow No Mans Sky is neat! Ill just take this
