Is Velma supposed to a lesbian or is that just a stereotype?

If you're referring to the original cartoon I don't think she was supposed to be anything more than smart and being unable to see without her glasses.

Which leaves room for later movies to add their own interpretation of the character.

No console should have exclusives unless it is developed first party, and even then it shouldnt be exclusive anyway.

If Google is funding and publishing these games they are considered first party games. In fact Supermassive who is one of the developers who have signed up with Google did Until Dawn for Playstation.

https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-05-13-sonys-games-business-declines-as-new-generation-looms

Declining sales of PlayStation hardware caused revenue to tumble for Sony Corp., but the Japanese firm said that the COVID-19 pandemic has not affected its launch plans for PlayStation 5.
In the year ended March 31, 2020, Sony's Game and Network Services division earned 1.98 trillion ($18.5 billion), down 14% year-on-year. The games division made an operating profit of 238 billion ($2.2 billion), down from 311 billion the year before.
Sony attributed this decline to both falling hardware sales and a lack of major first-party releases on the level of God of War and Spider-Man.
Sales of the PlayStation 4 dropped to 1.5 million units in the fourth quarter, down from 2.6 million in Q4 of 2019. Sony sold 13.6 million units of PS4 during the fiscal year overall, down from 17.8 million.
The PlayStation 4 has now sold more than 110 million units overall.
The key area of the games business that showed improvement was PlayStation Plus, which saw a boost in subscribers. The service now has 41.5 million subs, up from 36.4 million a year ago.
The decline in video games contributed to the company's performance overall, with both revenue and profit falling.
In the year ended in March, revenue fell by 5% to 8.26 trillion ($77.2 billion), and profit tumbled 36% to 582 billion ($5.4 billion).

However, slowing performance is to be expected at the very end of a console generation, and Sony offered reassurance that its plans to launch a new console have not been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Like sure it went down from the year before. Which also caused the whole company to decline. Why on Earth would they get rid of it?

This is truly embarrassing.

NES through Gamecube, Nintendo was unquestionably the best video game company and it wasn't even close. First party software had higher quality AND quantity compared to Wii, Wii U, and Switch.

Now look at them. They needed to outsource development of a tea party simulator with PS2 level graphics to Koei Tecmo, delayed Animal Crossing only for it to still release with less than half the content the 3DS game had, and let Game Freak flat out get away with removing over 60% of all pokmon just to charge us to get 200 of them back later on. All while our joycons experience drifting because they cheaped out on the joystick to pack them with gimmicks most of us will never use. (So how much did that Labo shit sell anyway?)

I bought it for Super Mario Odyssey. Super Mario Odyssey is a top 5 game.

.....How did everything else except Star Allies and Luigi's Mansion 3, which are good because HAL and Next Level Games are not Nintendo, go so horribly wrong?

Games take longer to make. That's about it really.

Actually looking it up that Japan Reddit post is completely false

TLOU2 has already doubled God of War in Japan
https://www.gematsu.com/2018/05/media-create-sales-5-14-18-5-20-18

It has also safely already outsold Days Gone first year of sales
https://twinfinite.net/2020/01/top-100-best-selling-games-2019-japan/

It's only just under what Resident Evil 3 and Yakuza 7 did. Those are just over 250k and are within the top 10 selling games in Japan for this year while TLOU2 has done 210k there.

lol going by that page The Last of Us 2 subreddit has been completely taken over by people just whining about the game.

Dunno why anyone would expect it to sell double than the original on PS3 (it did double the sales of the PS4 remaster) just because God of War was a hit there anyway. Character action games are more popular in Japan. Outside of that he just listed a bunch of games that sold about the same.

It's funny thinking back to Ubisoft at the end of last gen where people thought Watch Dogs was like a big next gen thing that had a lot of hype. Of course that didn't live up to it so at least Ubisoft don't do that sort of shit anymore.

specialkid8 posted...
They're digging themselves out of a rut right now. The rut was circa Farcry 3/4, Watch Dogs, whatever Assassins Creeds were out then. They've managed to shake up their formula a bit but it looks like it's still a work in progress. They went from making 7/10 games to 8/10 games. But they still don't feel like they're worth more than $30.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint was their last big game and it was a pretty big disaster.

Seems like they're pretty stuck in a routine of

  • Third person Ubisoft open world game in a new setting
  • First person Ubisoft open world game in a new setting
  • Games as a Service multiplayer shooter
  • Just Dance
They're experimenting with Watch Dogs at least. Although I can't help but wonder if that's primarily because WD2 didn't sell well at launch. Gods and Monsters is a thing that disappeared but that just looks like a BOTW copycat so far.

It's just hard to get excited over Ubisoft in general I think. They've got variety in concepts but not really with gameplay.
