Re: NSFW: Wolfenstein II's Launch Trailer Shows The Many Ways To Skin A Nazi

@FNL It is actually not hard to find reasons to criticize Obama's economic policies. He intervened a lot in the economy.

The biggest intervention was the Obamacare, which messed up with the whole healthcare system. Obama straight up lied when he said people would be able to stay with their healthcare if they liked it, but that was not possible after all the regulations had been imposed.

There were also the heavy regulations imposed on the banking and energy sector, which constrained the growth of these sectors and the economy in general.

It is not uncommon to find people who support all the measures I listed, as I think may be your case, but anyone who believes in free market has many reasons to be against Obama and to think that he made America not great, or at least less great. To back up what I'm saying, check out how many places the US dropped in the Index of Economic Freedom under Obama's presidency.

That's not to say that Trump is making America great again either. While he's been definitely trying to fix some of the problems created by Obama, he's been doing a bunch of stupid things as well. His idiotic take on protectionism is a complete abomination for any free market supporter.

To sum up, I am not american and I don't follow american politics that closely, but even then it was not hard for me to point out Obama's economic mistakes. It shouldn't be hard to find others.

If you'd like to know my opinion, Rand Paul was by far the best presidential candidate in the last election, but Republicans chose Trump instead, the worst of them.

@FNL Sorry but you're just so wrong when you say that all conservatives are like that. You're basically saying they all hate women and black people. Of course there are extremists that think like that, but the same can be said about the leftists who hate white people, rich people, and heterosexuals and men in general.

In sum, there are bad people in either side, and radicals too, but don't try to push your agenda here saying that one side is all good and the other is just the sheer representation of evil.

Re: Sega Confirms Sonic Forces Is 720p, 30fps On Nintendo Switch

For those who do not understand the remark "controls run at 60fps", Cuphead does the same. The controls run at 60, but the visuals run at 24 to resemble the old cartoons. Here is proof:

"It's a little like the historical cinematic 24 frames per second ceiling, where that's how slow you could go before the audio started to stutter, all to save money on the cost of film. We're also of the belief that 24 frames per second adds to the surrealism and the fantasy of movies. It feels more cinematic to watch 24 frames per second, like the picture's removed from the world. As you approach the higher frame rates and it looks closer to real life, in our minds it takes away that magic. It starts to look like you and your friends got together and made a movie in your backyard with your home video camera. I’m completely with you. I guess I prefer the distance? That totally makes sense, and that's why we purposely run all of the animation at 24 frames per second. But our gameplay is at 60 frames per second. So it's technically the most responsive gameplay, except you don't have to look at visuals that are too smooth."

Re: Brazilian Brawler 99Vidas Is Bringing Old-School Arcade Combat To Switch This Year

@retro_player_22 First of all, Brazil is a western country too, and we're not made of only capoeira and samba. And while the game also seems to also target the worldwide audience, it started as a very brazil focused project, since the characters of the game are the members of a famous podcast around here. It is funny to see a brazilian game on the Switch where there is not even a brazilian eshop, but that strikes me as a sign of its succes. I hope more brazilian games come to Nintendo systems!

Re: Blaster Master Zero Has Been Downloaded 80,000 Times On Switch

The people here are misjudging these numbers; they are not bad at all, principally when compared to the sales of the other Inti Creates' games. It was also shared today that Azure Striker Gunvolt, which was released in August 2014 on the 3DS, sold 180,000 copies, whereas Azure Striker Gunvolt, which was realeased in August 2016, sold only 38,000 copies. Based on these data, I think I can say with almost certainty that Inti Creates must be really happy that they managed to sell 80,000 copies on the Switch version alone in mere 2 months.
