@Arawn93 Over ten years to release a 2012 game? Hmmm.

Amazing game, really enjoying it. Who's the new guy doing the DF vids? He sounds like a charisma vacuum.

Eh, if the Indies can do it then it's fair game to cut prices that harshly. They'll make more money with this discount than they would letting it's rot in the backwoods of the eshop at full price.

Nice. The show was better than any other part of the Boom thing

Great review, glad to holds up well. Day one!

That's a lot of updates. Day one for me!

I thought it already ended. For 8 years or so it was still awkwardly edited with weird chemistry between the two. It was never a heavy hitter in terms of viewership, especially given the size of the channel, but then again you've got to wonder just how much support it got from Nintendo

@nessisonett maybe don't comment if it upsets you?

Scalpers gonna scalp. The biggest worry is it creates artificial demand and the poor devs might end up with excess stock on an incredibly niche product

I really liked this game despite its problems. There's a lot of missed moments in the Cell and Buu arcs but my word they nailed re Sayian and Frieza arcs immaculately

Kate only has an hour to herself after work?! What kind of Foxconn factory is NL running

I hope SMT V is still doing well.

PS5 really struggling to take off. Yes blah blah supply issues, but you're telling me a new console in the run up to Xmas can't sell 13,000 games in a week?

Edit - 3,500 even. No PS5 games in the top thirty.

It looks nice and quirky but if it's anything like the other games by the dev it'll be all style and no substance

At least they're trying to fix it. I don't think it'll get a 60fps patch though so it'll always be meh for me

Burst and it's sequel weren't bad at all, but the Musou games released after were super naff

Where on earth is Sports Story

I just want the Golf Story sequel, bros

>Physics
I legit don't think they'll include a functional speed based physics engine. They haven't really had one since 06 (and even then it was wonky). The subsequent games have heavy scripting for the set pieces (ie, in Generations/Lost World/Forces) which "turned on" the appropriate physics for any given obstacle needing overcame.

@Jeff2sayshi I think it says a lot when there's a lot on the second hand market and the game sales aren't exactly spectacular (or they're downplaying the sales?). It's all very strange, but it's definitely more readily available via second hand market than, say, the Wii was. That thing was like goldust.

@JasmineDragon I'm really not sure. I could go and buy a PS5 tomorrow, there's like 5 in my local CEX for £600-650. I think the issue is the scalpers have created a weird almost artificial demand.

I'm very tempted by the OLED switch, might homebrew my old one and upgrade after Xmas

@nessisonett Lol yeah push square did a salty article like this about E3 or something and I thought the exact same tbh.

@LinkSword yeah I'd agree with this. Every year Geoff has to swindle people in to watching by promising a huge announcement, and every year people get hyped, and subsequently end up disappointed

More like...uh...I dunno, "The Grim Awards", amirite fellas?

SMTV for me and it's not even close

@nimnio That's interesting, I had no idea it was available on PC too

Gotta wonder how financially viable this is

Are Atlus using throwing darts to pick their ports?

@Meteoroid mmmm yep, give me that sweet sweet dynamic 720p and silky smooth cinematic 24fps

Respectfully, no thank you.

The whole thing sounds kind of cringe, especially going by the last few years. Wonder how Kojima is going to worm his way in this time?

Honestly Geoff should just cut the losses and turn it in to a series of presentations like E3. There's little prestige in the awards, and Geoff himself has pivoted heavily towards hyping announcements to draw in viewers.

I unironically hold IGNs GOTY award in higher regard than this schlock.

Good news all round. I haven't played them yet but my friend showed me some stuff on the OST, it's phenomenal

@Bolt_Strike I've always thought the Sonic franchise would do well taking inspiration from driving sims tbh, even just the level scale and gameplay style. Throw in some bullet hell inspired skill based dodging and you'd surely end up with something that at least captures the essence of the marketing

I've all but lost faith in the franchise tbh, Mania was a nice diamond in the rough but everything else I've seen/played from the Sonic franchise since 2004 has been kinda crap

it'll take more than a few months to get used to it

Lol Jesus, I'm a 33 year old boomer with a demanding job. If I can't grasp a game in 2 hrs and finish it in 20 hrs it's getting traded in

Lol what a silly amount of money. He'll never pay that and it'll come down hard on appeal

I've never understood the fetishisation of the GC controller but good for people that want a more modern version of it

If it gets to Mystical Ninja I'm all for it

A lot of low cards in that hand

@Leksa a fool and his money are soon parted

Haven't played it and it's not enough to tempt me to get the service. Mystical Ninja though...

I sunk a good 60 hrs in to this at the start of COVID. Then work started kicking my ass when a bunch of staff left/shielded and I had to drop it, haven't played it much. I'd probably have to start a new game to get back in to it, forgotten most of the systems. Incredibly immersive game, all things considered.

@BTB20 Where did I mention launch aligned? It's 100k behind the last reported physical sales before SMTIV fell off the charts

SMTV hanging in there with the big boys! Interested to see how it sells digitally. At the moment it's still 100k behind SMTIV's physical sales

@Dimitris670 Genuinely happy to hear that, I haven't looked in to it since 2010 or so. It's a shame they blackball entire countries but honestly it's a sign of real progress for human rights.

@somebread Yep, you've described what the interview process is for a job. I would be surprised if Nintendo leaves hiring and firing on one person's to do list, but open debate among interviewers is particularly common (at least in my company, which takes its hiring/interview process from a UK wide standard practice policy)

@somebread In all honesty they more than likely ARE the best choice for the job given the circumstances of employment, which obvious brings in to the conversation the diversity hire practices. I'm all for this as long as it's transparent and people know what they're getting in to by applying. The real problems, in my humble opinion, are the companies that have no such policy but favour certain groups/sexes over the other. That kind of stuff needs to stop.

@CharlieGirl They can be, it's the literal point of the phrase "hire the best person for the job". The fact that you're questioning this phrase brings in to question your own stance on equality, seemingly with a hatred for certain groups. In fact, by your comment it sounds like any time a white person is given a position you're assuming it was because of their skin colour, with no reference to their qualifications. Why is that?

Will they stop using controversial parts factories and mining practices? Human rights being broken left and right.

Edit- Nintendo doesn't use conflict minerals anymore. Progress!

Are they seriously going with that title? Can't see it getting many curiosity buys with that.
