Man what a stupid series of events.

This game is in desperate need of more content to help diversify runs so this is welcome.

How is it overlooked? Aside from being considered one of the best 3D platformers of all time it’s been ported dozens of times.

@Gamer83 I didn’t mean to say that was the only problem it’s just the example I used. A lot of Nintendo’s other decisions were either stuff around the games, like going after emulation and copyright, or game pricing which ties into the economic problems. It all just comes down to people being much worse off and needing to be pickier with their purchases.

@Gamer83 I’d argue one is indirectly causing the other. When economic times are hard people are a lot tougher with their spending decisions, which causes a lot of consumers to come up with reasons to justify not spending. Now the normal reaction is to simply say you can’t afford this and move on with your day, but because the online gaming scene is as far from normal as you can get and are some of the most slavish dedicated consumers out there, this whole thing devolves into a toxic quagmire where reasonable discussion goes to die.

That’s not to defend Nintendo’s decisions. They’ve made some pretty dumb choices as of late, but I think a lot of people are overblowing how severe those decisions are. Game Key Cards are dumb but I think most people are more indifferent to them than outright hate them. At the end of the day everyone is being affected by this economic downturn, to put it gently, and whatever happens to Nintendo next is unknown. I don’t think they’ll top the Switch 1, but at this point what will? Even Sony couldn’t top the PS2.

@PikminMarioKirby this is far deeper than disgruntled Nintendo fans. The economy is in the toilet and people can’t afford the new tech.

@SpaceboyScreams how can people tell it isn’t good if they haven’t played it? What a stupid argument.

Let’s be honest, if this was a turn off for you then you were never interested to begin with.

To the surprise of absolutely no one.

Ngl, seeing Norman Reedus there was surprising. I completely forgot that Death Stranding 2 came out this year.

@RupeeClock oh I’m not blaming any of the studios who worked on these games. All of the issues can be blamed squarely on the upper management of WB Games and their horrendous decisions. But it doesn’t matter who’s to blame, WB games is still a mess no one would want to touch.

I mean can you blame them. That entire division is such a waste.

Great but I have a question, who cares about Rolling Stone in 2025?

@Lilligant562 think of what? The game or the discourse? Because if it’s the game I think it looks good so far. I haven’t seen much but that’s because I don’t want to spoil too much.

Man you Metroid fans have high standards. As a casual fan I’m looking forward to a more linear, action heavy approach for the series. The action was my favourite part of the games anyway.

All I’m saying is now might be a good time to bring back sales

Let’s be honest, even if this does come out it will be a miracle if it’s actually good.

Why are people calling this a spectrum when one review is negative

Arc Raiders is a bad example because it only used AI in a small part of it that wasn’t even that important to the overall experience. If the whole game was made with AI that would be indicative of a positive or nonchalant with AI in games, but as is it just looks like a minor aspect that people don’t care about.

I’m no fan of AI, but there’s a right time to target it. Using it for a minor aspect of the game, which to be clear is dependent on what kind of game it is, and is done ethically then it’s fine. But if the awhile game is made with it then people generally get put off by it. There’s tons of AI generated games on Switch that never go anywhere because no one cares. There’s no artistry in it so there’s nothing enticing for consumers.

@nervous-noodles I’m not too cool to care, I’ve never been cool.

My pick for the winner is… I don’t care. Because the Game Awards are stupid and anyone who puts any stock into is a fool.

Based on the overview trailer I think the previews are overblowing the significance of the NPC.

@darkswabber KT still must have some say in the matter. I also imagine they don’t want to spend the extra sheckles on this since, Pokemon or not, it’s still a spinoff in a niche genre. I think this says more about the internal sales projections than anything else.

This is likely a Koei Tecmo decision since they’re the developers.

There are way too many collabs in this game. We’ve taken guest characters too far.

@Desa you don’t need to get everything related to Nintendo. I still love them but I’m not an idiot and know when best not to spend my money. This DLC? Too much for too little and the base game has enough content already. Being a fan doesn’t mean buying into everything it just means buying into what you want to buy into.

I really don’t get the vitriol this is getting. It was good, not great, not awful, just good.

Good thing I’m just getting Galaxy 2 digital but yeesh on that price.

I don’t think this is them patenting creature capture or summoning, but more them patenting the Pokemon Legends style of gameplay. I don’t agree with this decision but I don’t think it’s as bad as people are making it out to be.

Saying something is “too hard” is too simple a critique and far too easy to rebut with the tired old “jus git gud bruh” by the hardcore sweat lords. The real question people should be asking is why is it so hard? Is it the kind of challenge you enjoy overcoming or is it simply a tedious grind that you get no enjoyment out of. For example, Cuphead for me is the former while Celeste was the latter. Not that Celeste is bad just that it isn’t a kind of difficulty I personally enjoy. If Silksong is too hard for you, then you probably weren’t enjoying it to begin with.

I don’t like to judge a consoles library this early on. You need to wait a bit for a console to come into its own. Even the Switch took a while to be great. That said I’d say Switch 2 is good, not great so far.

@CaleBoi25 no one cares about DLC. Well not as much as the games themselves.

I will be so happy when this releases so we can put this silly hype cycle behind us for good.

Do you think this could be victim to its own hype? I’m sure it will be good but if it ends up being little more than a slightly better Hollow Knight, do you think a lot of people who bought into the internet hype will be a little pissed off?

I never noticed the frame rate drops when I played it. Seriously I didn’t even know it had frame rate issues it was pretty smooth for me.

@rjejr I meant the show not the character. The HQ show is very explicit which is the whole point. While Harley the character has her risqué moments she’s also tame enough to work in kids stuff. Her debut was even in a kids show. If you wanted to make a Lego HQ game it would have to be based more on the character and not the show. If James Bond was too much for Lego then the HQ show is going off the rails.

Finally people can shut up about it.

@rjejr the Batman movies have their dark moments but that’s part of the brand. Even the Batman cartoons could get pretty dark. But there’s a big difference between movies and shows with dark moments and themes, and a show that is very adult with lots of bad taste jokes and sexual references. And those aren’t things you can just remove either, the adult stuffs is baked into HQ!s DNA. Removing it misses the entire point.

@rjejr you want to make a Lego game, which is a series aimed at kids, based on an adult animated comedy?

I can’t believe I exist in a timeline where this exists.

Death Adder will likely be another one, maybe Mr X too, or Dr Curien with a House of the Dead themed stage.

This seems like a nothing burger. Yeah it’s not a great look, but it seems like this is more of a legal issue than anything else. They’re clearly open to working with them, they just want word in advance.

@ShieldHero I kind of agree, but I can also see why Nintendo of America might not want those particular games. The fact they got a higher rating in Japan probably means they’re a lot spicier than normal, and I know how fan service heavy they get.

I don’t really care about the Game Key Card thing anyway, I just think it looks like a fun platformer.

@ShieldHero what censorship?

@Fiergala yeah but who the hell remembers Popeye and son

Sure Nintendo. In all seriousness I think the description doesn’t necessarily mean they’re just “good friends”. I just think Nintendo doesn’t want to lock them down. It’s like how old cartoons never had love interests tie the knot.

I have no idea what he’s on about. I’ve played the remakes and they didn’t use fixed jumps. It’s heavier than the originals, but it’s still perfectly fine.

It really is a management issue. They don’t seem to have any producers capable of lighting a fire under the teams to get them to work.

I forgot this game actually came out.
