Anyone know if there's one in London? I know there's a bar near Peckam that has some arcade machines in which I've been to a few times but not sure on a full museum like this.
@Daddoo Agreed. Not very interesting tbh. Combat is very repetitive and the different challenges can sometimes be ridiculous and necessitate several tries. Many times I put down the game and didn't want to pick it up again, but wanted to get through it because I started it. Would not play again.
Sonic nusic is usually terrible. I liked the fact they had Powerman 5000, also featured on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 (remake confirmed yet?), on Shadow the Hedgehog, but the other rock band I recall was cheesy and cringe worthy. Hopefully they mostly feature Hyper Potions, they're a decent act with hxc trance/glitch hop and 8 bit influences, often featured on MonsterCat.
Also, people seem to be confused. It looks to me like Office licensed Planet not only to publish but to help develop Cookingstar, so Office didn't do all (or perhaps a majority) of the work on the game. Then when they said they weren't happy with what Planet had at it's nearly finished state, they suggested some fixes. Planet then ignored whatever they wanted and released the version they had.
Edit: It appears it was not developed by Planet, but Planet instead hired "1st Playable" to develop for Planet to then publish. Apparently Office Create sent some people to oversee the project at one point and they got in an argument with some people there because their feedback wasn't constructive apparently, so those people just left. Why did Office Create have basically nothing to do with their own game? Are they too busy making other games that they couldn't participate in the first game in a while one of their major franchises? Not to mention the first on Switch. Bit silly if you ask me, but obviously this isn't what you would expect to happen as a result.
@Kalmaro You coukd say "I like your cooking, but it could do with some more salt". There is a line in between the black and the white, a centre point. See my previous comment to Zuljaras.
@Zuljaras I know what you are saying, I don't make the rules. If I were to say something racist or such (obviously hypothetically), I wouldn't be surprised if I was banned from a game chat. It doesn't really address the issue or change the person, though, so it's a temporary solution. Where I would certainly draw a line is in a potential predator using a game chat as a means of preying on children. Obviously after reporting such a person to authorities, I think a game and chat ban is without question, so if I could make the rules there, that is one I would enforce.
@Kalmaro Not really. That is a statement everyone should be making, as long as it's not followed by "But", "If" or other conjunctive words of the like.
@Kalmaro Ok, but I wasn't really the one saying that freedom of speech shouldn't be a thing. I just simply pointed out the difference. I know what you are saying, when a term becomes too broad and essentially changes it's definition this can also be used to take away freedom of speech. Just check out what the "Terrorism act 2000" covered for a start.
@Silly_G This. It's much easier to hide a political statement in a light hearted speech or comment designed for the brain to chew on and view positively. Equally, just as lethal as using fear as a means to justify a removal of democratic or sometimes even civil liberties. Easy to spot if you are wary, though.
@Zuljaras Hate speech is completely different. I'm sure I don't really need to explain the difference between someone who is against something because of prejudice and racism vs. someone who believes in standing for egality and freedom as they see it.
@victordamazio I'm sure there's a lot you don't know about the US. The thing about it is, US and UK are MUCH better at hiding what they do and getting people to believe they are necessary and benevolent, even when things get leaked and certain politicians take the fall. As much as I dislike China's "republic" it is really not trying to hide it's dominance and political "persuasion" over people.
@Anti-Matter @Zuljaras And for once I disagree with you. Free speech should be free, on all platforms. Just because some dictatorship doesn't think an opinion should be heard, doesn't mean people should conform.
I already have season pass, the other dlc, the extra chefs pack and of course the free seasonal downloads. Good idea to make it all in one download, though.
Min Min, Spring Man and Ninjara are spirits already, so not them. Ribbon Girl has an outfit for mii brawlers, so not really her either. Picking out of the remaining, I liked Master Mummy and Byte & Barq. I've never played the game so going on aesthetics. Seems like it might end up being Twintelle judging by votes, though.
Never actually saw the Japan one. It's more effective with the STARS operative (can't recall his name) in Nemesis' clutches. Europe's looked trash, although it does look straight from a cutscene in the game so it's slightlt more representative of the game.
@MrBlacky Spanish influenza was worse. Currently not going to reach numbers like that. Depends on if it mutates rapidly, though, growing resistant to any sort of treatment. Maybe it's engineered, who knows. Wouldn't hit the bomb shelter just yet, though.
Awesome. Well edited. That makes the combat look so much more intense than the way I played it. Makes it look like an intense, half scripted, action, super hero game haha
Wow. This one's about as tasteful as someone proposing to their partner in february and then revealing it was a joke on April 1st. Cheese is needed for these sour grapes.
If you put the top of the background from the EU cover with the bottom of the background of the NA version, with sprites like the Japan version, the cover would actually be really good. Japan gets an easy win, though.
They're just shopping about for the best adoption family, the process takes a while and not all candidates are suitable. This is reasonable when you've been given up by your original carers. Think about the poor animals uncertainty!
The fact they put cut scenes in between the gameplay is annoying. I think it woukd actually make a difference if characters interacted with actions by other players and make comments depending on the win loss scenario. However, I'm certain it will just be another online shooter.
I don't know why everyone is hating on Starlink's physicals. They had digital option anyway, maybe they should have released that later down the line so more people got the toys. I ignored Skylanders and Disney Infinity but Starlink appealed to me so I got them, especially with Arwing and Fox. So it's annoying they didn't do well enough to release season 2. They had a bunch of the pilots made but they got thrown away. >_>
So it's basically Borderlands GotY and Borderlands the Handsome Collection that got released in ps4? Tbh, the GotY is hard to find physical on ps4 so I will get it if they don't do a code in a box deal.
Tbh, Revenge and Takedown ps2 game. Makes sense for a remaster, they need it and to play on modern platforms... So EA picked Paradise, a 1 gen old game, anyway, because it's easier and they know the last 2 generations of gamers played it. It's a shame, if they did 3 with online support I would have played it online for many many many hours and 100% it probably. Though, accomplishing some of those signature takedowns was hard enough back in the ps2 days and I don't think I even used the weird little green car much haha
