Anodyne and it's sequel deal with mental health/isolation as well.

In fact, Anodyne 2 is one of the best games I've ever played.

To the Moon is a fantastic game but it deals with autism, not mental illness

Hmmmm. Looks like all the worst parts of the WWE 2K games. I thought Kenny Omega hinted they were going to mimic the Aki games?

"HWUHT"

He's right though, it's the peak of the series from a gameplay perspective

@SpiritOfTheHero Generally it's a board decision, it's kind of rare that the head of a company will directly choose their successor

Doubling down on Japanese business I suppose. I haven't played much of the mentioned studios games but it always felt a bit strange that the Final Fantasy guys had Tomb Raider, etc

@KingBowser I dunno but in my experience they seem to be slowly losing market share to Bluray and streaming. I tend to only buy Bluray's of films I really like, or where I want to support the director.

1. Start a Nintendo fan project
2. Pour shocking amounts of time in to it
3. Make it public far too early
4. Gain traction
5. Nintendo shuts it down
6. Whine on Twitter

Why do they continue to do it? AM2R did it the right way, they made the thing public very close to the end of development so their work at least continues to exist on Torrents, etc.

Catherine and Dusk for me

@StarPoint Was it more to do with there being a lack of games for PS5? I move in gaming centric circles and I've barely seen this game mentioned

@KingBowser It'll be released on DVD in late June

@Moonsorrow999 They'll have to do something. Consumer spending is slowing and is showing signs of crashing, which means a recession is around the corner. Couple all the power nonsense with higher prices and taxes, and it's virtually guaranteed.

I'd rather the government make steps to mitigate the financial strains across rhe country right now.

It's funny, the target demographic for stuff like this is probably not old enough to have been around when the SNES was in active promotion

Misread that as "after consulting with Chris-Chan"

I'm not sure what to make of the film. It's by the Minions guys so I think it'll be okay, but probably soulless.

Absolutely well deserved. Great film with a questionable second act.

Got an import copy on the way

Marvelous game. My kid loves it

@Mr_Fox Nah you're not forced to play XB2 and even then you're not forced to use the risque blades. Implying people can't be in to both male and female sexualisation is also kind of problematic dude

@Not_Soos Yeah I generally find swearing in games to be cringe too. There's better ways to ground and shock players that swearing.

More surprised that the swearing made it through lol but yeah Xenoblade showing some skin on their females is basically part of the franchise at this point. Some of the outfits in X were laughably bare.

@liljmoore More like "think of the Twitter mob"

Nintendo Online is still regional

@icomma I dunno about that guy but having a job with minimal skill requirements doesn't really mean you deserve 30-40% over the minimum wage. It's an entry level job for a reason

Temp agencies are wild. In the UK they take rates of £27-30 an hour and pay their employees £11-14 an hour. We use them in my job to fill gaps in teams while we put ads out for full time recruitment. They serve a purpose but they're usually classed as second tier employees, almost expendable.

Saying that there's ONE thing I don't like about using them. If it turns out the worker is good and they apply for a full time job for us, either us or them have to pay 3 pay period full time wages to the company to employ them. That's 39 x £30 x 4 x 3. What a price to pay.

Hmm the plot thickens

@ItsOKToBeOK The games sales are what I find a bit strange. Reminds me of early days Wii, where the console was selling loads but games weren't exploding. There was a run of charts a few months ago where not a single PS5 game was in the top 40. There's probably a whole bunch in the hands of scalpers, but in my experience the demand isn't really there. I could buy a PS5 tomorrow from Facebook Marketplace but god knows what I'd play on it.

World Of Horror looks cool. Love me some Lovecraft and Ito

PS5 falling below the Switch Lite, in 2022, is mental to me

I don't care what they call themselves, just do something with Ganbare Goemon

After playing versions like Sonic 3 Complete, I don't think this will stack up well. The fandom has already taken these 4 games far beyond what Sega will offer. Restored content, glitches fixed, additions to aid in continuity between levels...I don't think Sega will do any of this.

@-wc- If that's enough for you to form an opinion, go for it. Sounds more like allegations to me

@Quantaur Yeah it probably should, but here we are

There's no details on what the complaint is so I can't form an opinion on it...

So excited right now

I'm honestly more surprised that both franchises are still ongoing. The game has a total "wait for sale" air about it and the reviews seem to reflect that

@Not_Soos As a man of faith, yes, it kind of irks me but I'm also a believer in freedom of expression so I just choose not to play/promote games like this.

Honestly one of the best games of the generation for me, and it STILL feels like it had a lackluster third act. I hope there's more DLC incoming, or maybe an Apocalypse/Royal version set in the same universe

Xenoblade today gives me the same feelings I had when I'd get a gaming magazine and find a new Final Fantasy had been announced. The hype is real

Lol never underestimate the fandom

Thought it looked more like the Steven Universe art style, but in 3D.

@Browny Yeah that's what I'm wondering. Maybe the revenue missed from the missed ones causes a black hole in their finances.

Hmmm that's interesting. I thought the pandemic was more or less over in Western countries thanks to the lesser variants and vaccines

Okay, still going to do so tho. My parents and pretty much everyone over 35 in my life doesn't know the difference and I don't care enough to explain lol my kid plays Nintendo (whether it's her Switch or PS4) and that's the end of it

@Not_Soos Honestly I didn't mind the dance scene as a little bit of bonding filler, it at least set up the duplication tech seen in the climax of the film.

That wedding/post wedding though..

@Not_Soos I felt it was a little overlong. The 5-6 minute uninterrupted scene with the sassy black lady and her husband in particular felt completely unnecessary and removed from the plot, very strange decision to put that in

I took my kid to see it the other day, it's actually a pretty good film. Much more grounded in it's identity than the first film, which was like half a Sonic film half a generic kids blockbuster.

Buying it for my daughter today, she loved the demo. Such a good kids game.

I'm glad Metacritic exists because critical consensus is a joke in video games
