@SpaceboyScreams The killer is the filler, if you just want to collect the base cards it does everything possible to keep you from them considering they keep putting in more rare cards like shinys that are usually variants of cards from previous sets. I’d have to go though the pull rate info to compare to previous months but something feels off about last months set it’s a struggle to get a single new card after five pulls and even then it’s like I mentioned a rare card.
It’s a good sign for a dev to still be hungry after coming out of a prolonged development cycle rather than being burned out especially after the nasty ways they’ve been treated for choosing to work by their own terms.
They need to do a $20 DLC called Clown Mode, people will download it expecting it’s cosmetics based off that “hilarious” meme but in reality it’s a mode that documents the game’s lengthy development explaining the whys and hows if it.
@Fizza
Whoa I’m laughing my ass off so funny XD
@Deadlyblack It does detract from it a lot I’ve played the it a lot on PS5 having it drop frames while needing to read them precisely when dealing with bosses and their very drawn out attack strings will often get you get killed, Bananza is a much looser experience you have complete control to do whatever you want with DK very quickly due to the lighting fast move canceling and have huge amounts of priority advantage against enemies it’s the opposite of Elden Ring where you have to commit to most moves while bosses won’t even flinch against your attacks which the player doesn’t have the luxury of.
Don’t worry From has some of their famous placebo performance patches lined up that people will be sure to claim make a night and day difference on how their janky stuttery games perform.
Starfield has some of the most generic fake video game playing on to the background during a tv show vibes ever, Starlink has more unique personality and charm and that’s saying a lot. Uncle Phil’s zealots and acquisition cheerleaders treating it like the second coming pre release only for it to immediately evaporate after release was pretty amusing though.
@Coalescence
That’s what it’s always been the biggest difference is that the character is faster and less rigid, the rigidity in Hollow Knight is my least favorite aspect of it the way platforming sections have you always getting sent back on taking certain types of environmental damage, the way combat is held back by how slow you are how short your melee range is and that little kickback you get on landing a hit really turns it into a chore.
@Nintoz HW will slip to next year I think that was always the plan, first week of December makes sense they could also do early November, it having a a SW1 release gives them a leeway.
“ But there's room for the upper reaches of the Switch 2,”
If we’re talking about docked mode then without VRR there isn’t unless it’s locking at 120fps, hitting the uppers reaches like 90-119 means stutter.
I wonder if he ever thought of changing city trial’s name to something that better conveys what it is as it’s just as confusing as it is was back in 03, probably not though he’s always been bad about this considering he has things like “Games and More” where a bunch of random things are just shoved into the same submenu.
@Fizza Congrats on being paranoid and wrong not only in regards to this game but in general, he’s never had anything against the Kirby games he hasn’t worked out which is the vast majority of them.
I’ll never understand this clown meme it’s just generic image board fodder why did it latch onto this game in particular? What’s clever about it? How does it relate to this game in the slightest? Just seems utterly vapid to me.
“ In the absence of news from Team Cherry but with the momentum of fans' hype for a Hollow Knight sequel, this disappointment inevitably began to lead users to self-deprecating memes to deal with the growing frustration. As a result, the Hollow Knight clown makeup meme was born, encapsulating the self-sustaining cycle of fans getting their hopes up when each new gaming event or showcase rolls around only to have those hopes dashed when there's of course no news.”
If this is correct then I’m correct about it being vapid and meaningless.
@Simu001 I mean does it though? It has on paper the same SP modes with the addition of knockout tour it just lacks the massive amount of tracks post launch MK8 had but that’s to be expected. The missions finally returning is a boon to SP it’s just that they my implemented them horribly like they’re terrified of being labeled a open world checklist game
@JR150 UE5 is a scourge and that Matrix demo was bait that the industry fell for hook line and sinker. I think the main reason UE5 exists other than increasing Epic’s stranglehold on the industry is also to make sure hardware makers can keep shoving out new GPUs every year and of course another generation of consoles from Sony and MS despite how horrifically stalled their software output has become, Switch 2 is in a awkward spot because the engine is junk on PS5 requiring all sorts of compromises so what chance does it stand at not falling into the same pit?
@Ulysses Likely has nothing to do with that and is more an experiment going off their observations of YouTubers ripping their trailer songs, if they act very aggressively taking down YouTube videos of it then I’m probably right.
@StewdaMegaManNerd The artwork is pure Robotnik though he looks 100% pissed and motivated not some goofy guy who just complains about being beat by Sonic all the time while he lets out the next ancient evil that backfires on him.
@ShieldHero It’s not really a big deal when you consider that if you’ve already played a regular EX or even two regulars and lose those the next point is a loss no matter what so there’s no unique penalty for playing the mega then who’s gonna be primed at that point to mop up what the opponent has left while being tanky enough to survive the process.
@Whirlwound It’s pretty apparent in the trailer some of it looks nice like you’d expect a late gen GameCube game to look but a lot also looks like a early PS2 game with very low res textures.
@Flashlink99 I honestly think the execs are just that obsessively high on their own supply about the camera thinking it’s the biggest thing since the Wiimote, it’s why they let system resources and RT cores be reserved for game chat so what do you think happens when they’re shown a game that heavily uses it despite looking like absolute shovelware?
We need new Welcome Tour minigames where you reel in a fish while awkwardly using the gyro to dodge a million spiked balls that flood the screen, or maybe a a lock picking one that’s dependent on hd rumble but also thinks a average player will be able to judge the high level rumbles down to single percentages.
@elpardo1984 Probably not just look up their DF Clips channel which is usually dominated by clickbaity topics from their weekly show, the latest one has John bizarrely acting like the sky is falling for Switch 2 because that partner direct was a letdown. They also freak the hell out at any game still using FSR1, I’m not a fan of it either but their petal clutching is hysterical.
More pop culture consumed by Tim Epic’s greygooverse. @Hapless Power Rangers are cool but Power Rangers getting sucked into this gaping mow so they can kill people with AK-47s and do TikTok dances, not so cool.
@Ramouz Well you’re in luck because there’s 29 years worth of games featuring his voice so you can experience how repetitive it gets listening to the same reused voice clips ad nauseam.
So was the campfire game last week to throw people off or just to keep it from eating up time from this because it’s more than likely better? I can see execs getting worked over its use of the cameras and deciding to push it.
The chain does improve combat a lot you can be pretty aggressive with it and interrupt enemies out of their attacks with its charge attack, gems can have pretty powerful effects like giving its charge attack a 50% stun chance or spewing out fireballs while charging it.
Not a fan of that u-turn jump it doesn’t have any utility compared to roll other than it not bouncing off walls, it having sonar just seems random he’s not even hitting the ground with open hands so it’s not consistent with the hand slap. Hitting dive punch then immediately roll is one of my favorite things to do, it’s just as useful as Mario’s side somersault.
@0_Cassiel_0 Oh yeah gotta love the jerk reaction to Jim where people were saying it was completely made up and Sony being spiteful, sites like this were running articles with the same attitude. Even before Layden backed it up you can find people doing estimates as far back as 2018 that the LTD was 159.2m-161.9m. Let’s say that miraculously they did somehow sell 160m of those and presented proof of it what do you think the reaction would be? I predict the same as Jim got.
The gameplay is too mindless and weightless it feels like someone hacked basic action combat into Octopath and called it a day, the Zelda similarities are just for show it’s more like some old mobile ARPG like Zenonia.
@solarwolf07 Licensed musou games are supposed to be bombastic fun celebrations of the properly just like the original HW not some vehicle for telling “canon” and being limited by that, the imprisonment era characters and lore other than Zelda are incredibly boring just like in TOTK just listen to the voice acting they still sound like they need a nap, never once did I sit through TOTK’s telling me the same things about that era and its smug dull characters over and over and thought that I want to know more instead of more about what happened between the game and BOTW which beyond a few scraps refuses to go into detail about.
@Hapless You get the feeling what then that they has no idea what to actually do for it but needed to have it anyway because Odyssey had it and was a memorable part of that game yet unlike with Mario there’s not a endless amount of things to reference so it’s all pretty boring stuff.
It’s not accusations at this point when they themselves have admitted to it and explained exactly how it happened. @Shaw_Brothers Unless there are tons of examples of them doing this then no there’s no chance it has any effect on that.
@mikegamer
Yes it has phosphors, and since the app was updated with 4K support it can do this down to the individual game pixel level. They had already done a similar effect on GBA NSO when it launched by simulating its LCD grid complete with subpixels.
@SillyG
4K is actually the best resolution for retro games since it does a proper full screen integer scale of 240p and has enough pixels to do proper CRT simulation. Sonic Mania’s CRT filter is one of the best example of this it runs at 4K on PS4 Pro/PS5 and looks incredibly sharp nothing about the image is degraded, the CRT effect enhances low res pixel art by giving it breathing room instead of being big blocky chunks of solid colors, games back then we’re made with CRTs in mind it’s why they used dithering for transparencies or color blending and also why games that heavily relied on this look awful unfiltered.
@ChromaticDracula 2D sprite based retro games play like total trash at 30fps, SNES NSO has a few of them and they don’t feel cinematic they feel like walking through mud. The original Ninja Gaiden trilogy were all 60fps and as difficult as they are they’d be near impossible at 30fps.
@Seacliff Is it? The ones I’ve seen reference N64 and PS1, this game is using Saturn in its name because Dreamcast is trademarked, the new trailer even opens with a Dreamcast BIOS style menu.
@WiltonRoots It’s the one who randomly screams into the mic blowing it out without warning as a a bit right? Unfortunately had this channel recommend to me recently.
@rvcolem1 Reading this has made me realize that Goodnight Punpun is basically the anti Scott Pilgrim, it viciously tears apart a lot of the things Pilgrim glorifies.
@Kestrel Yeah it’s like Gotham Knights it has the foundation to make a great Batman game that’s doing the things people love about the Arkham games and would have came out sooner than whatever Rocksteady is doing now, it’s what WB Montreal was actually in early stages of doing before WB killed it if rumors are to be believed.
Good change over Odyssey where coins are just completely lost on death. Anyway this is the anti-from game you can instantly cancel all your moves and almost all attacks by enemies are unsafe with the way they can be easily countered or interrupted with your own, the combat is simple but it lets you be proactive in ways most games seem to be afraid of being these days
@martynstuff Shipping culture has screwed with people so bad that they can’t accept the idea of platonic relationships between any set of characters in media no matter what, it doesn’t help that a lot of creators pander to them.

People just blinding assuming he’s correct like the remakes have you jumping full height on any press are being ridiculous. I get that the remakes are annoying but there are actual accurate reasons behind that unlike this one.
