I bought this game on a whim about 2 weeks ago and I'm embarrassed to say how addicted I've gotten to it. It's rocketing(pun intended) up near the top of the list of my all-time favorite games
Can someone point me to where Shift Up confirmed using GenAI in Stellar Blade? All I can find is that the CEO stood up for GenAI when it was used to put the sequel's main character into some music video.
Keep in mind, I hate GenAI, especially if it's being used for anything creative. If it's used for speeding up menial tasks, I still don't like it, but it's better.
I haven't played Stellar Blade yet, but I do own it on PS5 and will get around to it one day. And I certainly do not want or need sex appeal in MOST of the video games I play. But it is nice to see a game that unapologetically offers that to straight males and lesbians. So many studios are scared by the very thought lol.
Always room for both. They are similar but distinct flavors. Pepperoni Pizza is just Enhanced Cheese Pizza, yet, I still enjoy cheese pizza from time to time.
@AllieKitsune So you don't care about helping people, you just want to "challenge and shame" a group you've decided isn't worthy of compassion? And you think you're one the one on the right side of history? O_o
Wow, that's.... super weird. More power to anyone who finds the "fuller" body appealing, but I find unfit bodies really off-putting (whether male or female).
I have enough great games to last the rest of my life. If devs/publishers don't want to sell me their product properly, I will simply not buy it. Simple.
I really think it might be smarter at this point if they deleted all the AI creations and remade them all from scratch. Very publicly announce the reversal of direction.
I think that's the only way for them to succeed, and I really want Prof Layton to succeed!!! I love that franchise!!
I'm very excited for the NEW Layton game, and the remake is nice, but as someone else said, what I REALLY need is a collection of games 1-6 on Switch 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, sell it to me in a collection of 1-3 and another of 4-6, I'd be fine with that too!
I'm always going to be interested in a game/movie/show that isn't afraid of sexy women who are attractive in the most popular ways. Seems so rare these days.
James Gunn has turned me off in the last ~10 years.
And Suda is great, but it's not a dealbreaker if he's not involved.
I dunno, man, I have played every Metroid game except for Dread and Prime 4 (just too much backlog in recent years, but I'll get to them!!). I think every Metroid game has offered something great. The changes and the traditions are all welcome!!
Prime Hunters is the only game I truly disliked, but even that had some good ideas. I actually love Other M, though I know that's a minority opinion. So, I don't think any sweeping philosophical changes need to happen behind the scenes. I'm not even sure this article suggests .... anything? lol
It's funny, when I used to dabble in Splatoon 1 and 2, all I wanted was co-op (and some decent 1P). Now they make a "1P game" and all I really care about is co-op. ^_^ lol
My desire for co-op hasn't changed, but the marketing around the experiences never fully aligns with my taste lol. Luckily I think this time the co-op is gonna be, dare I say, OFF THE HOOK!!!!
Man, some of you guys can shoehorn Trump into any topic, can't you?? It's really like a super power at some point.
Well, I think Trump AND Harris are clowns! So..... game sales, amirite?? I'm sure there is a connection. Like others above me, I'll leave it to y'all to figure out what the connection is LOL
I will never stop playing video games and I will never stop buying physical media. Please note, game industry, I am fully prepared for those to be 2 separate things if push comes to shove. ^_^
I have a collection of unplayed 3/DS games that I really want to be able to play on the big screen!! I desperately need a 3/DS player device for the Switch 2!!!
.... though I'm sure they are talking about selling them digitally if anything -_-

Re: Splatoon Raiders Dev Team Apparently Has No Plans For DLC
I absolutely do not need more content with this game.
I could use some little tidbits like some QoL for match-making with randos and maybe, MAYBE some more clothing options ^_^ but that's all.

Some of those outlets I am not familiar enough with to judge, and the ones I am familiar with I don't trust their opinion AT ALL. lol.
In fact, if Kotaku and IGN love something, it's probably trash??
But, I WANT to believe!! I was always a hardcore CV fan and I want this to live up to the legacy!!
If not, Bloodstained was awesome and I'm sure the sequel will come out one of these decades.

Re: GameStop CEO Says Video Game Software Makes Up Less Than 12% Of The Business
Publishers make fewer physical games -->
GameStop can't stock games -->
GameStop can't sell games -->
games % of GameStop business shrinks.
It is not difficult.
