@Serpenterror They are using elecro magnets from what I recall. These magnets rely on electricity to activate and deactivate. So it's not gonna be much of a problem if they put electricity to turn them off like with the switch on the back is supposed to be used for
@sketchturner I can't speak about the collection, but Ninja Gaiden is a pretty brutal game series in all accounts. That includes difficulty.
besides that, based on my experience with Ninja Gaiden Razor's Edge, seeing which enemies have lost limbs is an indicator that they can be taken down easily for some health or that they are a kamikaze risk, so it's very much tied to strategic gameplay feedback.
In other words you're just gonna have to get use to it. I speak as someone who doesn't typically play gory games. If it makes ya feel better, there are a lot of demon enemies in this series with their own weird colored blood, and the games are very "old samurai movie" about dismemberments, so they are quick and to the point unlike certain other action games like God of War which really make things excessive.
Either way, you might wanna play these games because they seem pretty good.
@sketchturner I'm just gonna let you know, but a lot of the mechanics of Other M were lifted straight out of Ninja Gaiden. So you might as well just play that if you want more. Razor's Edge is a good game.
One thing that WiXoss has probably taught me, in conjunction to what other TCGs are doing, is that you should NEVER buy packs if you actually wanna play the game. Buy Booster Boxes instead. In my experience so far with Wixoss, you at least have a better time getting the cards you need for play out of 2 or 3 boxes and just buying the rest on the card market, which thankfully treats this game like an actual game as far as Wixoss is concerned.
Want that shiny SIGNI card? 5 bucks. (minus shipping)
Want that Level 3 LRIG? 1 euro. 13 bucks if you want a shiny, but nothing close to 1000 to just play the game.
The benefits of being the respected underdog I suppose.
Hell, forgo chance all together and just buy a 12x case of booster boxes. It's really expensive for a "pity system", but you'd be on a competitive level if you did. No gamble involved. (though IMO, you'd probably save money using my method for the game)
@Baker1000 They might have to have an avengers level threat. They are probably gonna make like, 2 more films before we reach Solaris and Mephiles. Sonic might actually have to grow up by then end of the arc and go nomad (Did not watch Sonic 3 yet)
As a gacha gamer who generally defends the genre, I'm not gonna defend EA here. From what I heard, their games never have any pity system, and their rates are abysmal, all in a fully priced game that never needed gacha to have fun or be seen as an intentional game design quirk, sold at an age rating that is well below the commonly accepted gacha threshold of rated-T or 12+, which is probably when a kiddo does somewhat understand the value of money. Their methods really are close to exploitative gambling, even if they aren't technically gambling
Meanwhile, a card game with a casino aesthetic and nothing more, which Sonic fans are already use to, is rated 18+
@PessitheMystic Nintendo Europe allowed Lust for Darkness and those Funbox minigame collections featuring the heroines from Lune's visual novels. Yes, naked in their physical releases
@HeadPirate Also wanna note, "Lowee" is a pun on loli. So yeah, all future goddesses that come from that land are cursed to be no taller than 4''5! 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
@RiasGremory @IceEarthGuard "they revised their guidelines to not allow sexualization of what can appear as underaged characters.
Which is a good thing, but... "
I'm gonna have to stop ya right there. It's NOT a good thing. Telling an artist how they are allowed to make their art is going to cause more issues, not helped by Nintendo making their own RPGs for teens and adults using lolicon tropes as is because japan and otaku tropes like to have their fun in that way.
An artist shouldn't be stifled because someone with certain closet feelings tells them they can't do it. The consumer should have the right to choose if games are made with them in mind or not, assuming the art used ethical means to be made,of course.
Nintendo should not be a middle man on content inclusions for 3rd parties, especially not with the AI slop breaching their shop and burying actual artistic endeavors. (Why aren't they taking that down?!?!)
Well if you plan on rockin out, you better not hold back like what you did with Shadow Generations. Play the song the way you always did, not what Soccer Moms expect you to play like
@Daniel36 Discrimination is bad! 😛 It's ultimately on you if it appeals to your impulses in "that way". (in which case I don't get why you are pushing back if it does tickle your instincts.)
Just take it. Expand your horizons! This series is quite the jovial and happy series for those who like to relax and empty their heads. Very cute and comfy, while putting lots of emphasis on character writing through mundane scenarios. People usually recommend Ryza because of how streamlined its systems are, but Sophie and Shallie are also great picks coming from me.
Shallie might require two playthroughs though. The reason why will become obvious when you pick it up.
Now imagine further Capcom collabs.... Viewtiful Joe 3 GodHand 2 And I guess Devil May Cry 6 is still possible after all! Or a DMC2 remake redone by the original director
@waveboy Cuz everyone is focusing on the Wii U/3DS aspect, with the dock also acting as a streaming hub to make that happen, but nobody is expecting Nintendo to have a detachable IR sensor.
@MegaVel91 I mean, when you look at it from the lens of hollywood jacking itself off, yeah, I can see how that can get annoying, even if I did enjoy Sonic Paramount 2
@N8tiveT3ch Give me real ecchi and eroge, not this cynical AI generated slop produced by people who's sex ed came exclusively from watching too much pornhub....
I want real cultured stuff like Trouble Days, Senran Kagura or Saya no Uta on my Switch.
Instead of putting the work into our lap, I'd rather that Nintendo would just get some actual quality curation on their shop for once by hiring people who are cultured in gaming and the genres at play, whether gameplay, story, visuals, art, ect.
Because they way steam does things by tags, it will blanket ban everything on your end, even actual GotY games, because a community member decided to tag it as such. So it's a wonky system that does the job crudely, hence why I think it's a bad idea to use it outside of AI, which is always obvious given the "creativity" is actually from a machine.
The AI stuff is the first that needs to go, then the ones which are clearly asset rips and copy paste soulless puzzle games we've played a billion times. If they do that, then I'll see that the eShop is generally putting out quality that generally doesn't appeal to me instead of something I can unashamedly call bad and a waste of internet load speed just to get to the potentially good stuff.
@Jhena You mean teenagers can't enjoy games that acknowledge that they are growing up? Weren't you a teen yourself?
This kind of stuff is enjoyed because of innocence, not in spite of it.
I think it's bad that something that is trying to encourage you to have babies is looked at as though it is anything but from a place of innocence in the more ethical conditions.

On the plus side, it is possible that Capcom could obtain a licence from Sega for a Bayonetta 4
