If VF6 is also a keycard, I'm skipping it on Switch 2. prefer it to be a one and done purchase on a physical card, but if they plan on being so difficult....
(But VF6 has to impress me first. VF and me are like oil and water due to how dry the series feels)
I hope they keep the ironic writing on the downlow for this film.
Mario Galaxy is one of the series' few stories with a lot of heart to it. Turning it into a big joke like a Marvel movie would be like stabbing a loved one in the face after their confession to you...
I'm not a big mario fan, but I HIGHLY respected what galaxy did as a story
@batmanbud2 Treehouse's problems is more internal with translation. They treat even teens and adults like little children that need to be coddled from another culture that isn't their own.
But these days, I don't even buy a lot of nintendo games, i buy 3rd party games that can be a bit wacky and creative in ways Nintendo wouldn't be. Even right now I am playing through GalGun2, and that's a really silly and cute kind of game
So yeah, i'm with others, don't do anything stupid, prichard. I want my ecchi and I want it unfiltered. Same with horror elements. I don't have to like that, but at least give it the respect it deserves
Honestly, this is the least you can ask for. Backwards compatibility can now make games run far better if they aren't capped. Variable framerate future proofs the game
@caseyyy You already can. At least the proper versions. They already have, like, 2 or 3 namco arcade collections on switch as is, and one is purely pacman themed
They should re-release the first 3 games. Persona 1 and 2(+2) are all still on the PS1 and PSP respectively, without modern sensibilities tainting the OG story
@Nep-Nep-Freak Never forget that Disaster Day of Crisis is a wild railshooter that reggie skipped, and deserves to be better remembered.
They even redid the default english in of the japanese release that was meant to replicate a Hollywood film so it would be more to american tastes after re-localization and STILL didn't release in in america!!!
lol
Just don't censor or ban my games and force every game sent to shops to be physical proper. Plain and simple. That's the least I can ask for from the successors
@LoadingSinceThe80s Sorry, but a game for everyone is a game for no one.
I'd rather them have a focus they stick by and understand their target audience is intelligent.
And yes, this also applies adding painful hard modes to games intended to be easy too (And boy do I know that pain from Sonic Frontiers...). Its funny how nobody defends that if ever done but it's always the game being "too hard" for a stock finished 'normal mode' that always gets bashed on "to attract more players". And I'm not even talking about poorly tested difficulty spikes here.
@Notsoavid From seeing Nitrorad's review of it, it's about as hard as a standard RE game. It being brutally hard seems to have been casuals talking, considering Bloober made walking sims before Chronos and Silent Hill 2 RE
@PharoneTheGnome "The genie is out of the bottle. Trying to ignore it is a career limiting move." Trying to use it as your personal genie is even more career limiting, considering now companies are asking for artists to walk in and show them that you know how to draw, assuming they value art and the experience with it first. That's how bad it's gotten.
For me, I draw the line at vocal generative AI. There are practical applications for it and the music/voice acting industry is showing signs of respecting creators in some ways.
From using genAI voices to splice in a moment where characters say your inputted name, to allowing Vtubers to become completely anonymous. And thats saying nothing about new "vocaloid" software that hires someone to provide a voice and gets paid for it while still being required to use their voice like an instrument.
There's far more ethics being used there compared to genAI images, which are still built off of theft while avoiding the creative process altogether.
55 was way to young. practically middle aged. wth happened? I got no bond with the guy or his work, but it's cold knowing he didn't even get to have one more christmas
@ThatOneLevel when you really think about it, breaking it down to verticle slice, Diana would just be an additional moveset. it's more like 1.5 characters because they decided to give a mechanic a face
@ottoecamn Well, compared to the complains against the industry about female characters as of late, at least she doesn't look bad. Not my type, but eh, I'm not that selfish
@axelhander I think we went over this before, but this same argument is treating robots in the same way as humans should be treated. They are not human, not even in how they are wired.
Inspiration is not the same as stealing art to train a robot to mash all of the assets together. They have no will of their own either.
@MathByThePixel The last entry was 3 years ago, in an overcrowded subgenre in our day and age, in a series that isn't considered the hardest games in the world. I don't think we need to over extend "difficulty options" as a crutch for a less polished experience. We already had the lack of confidence shown in "difficulty options" this year in Doom Dark Ages alone.
@MathByThePixel It arguably does not. We have damn hard games still selling well. And vice versa too. They are deliberately designed, and that's why they appeal
@Charlirnie depends on what you're looking for. They are both familiar games to each other with shared mechanics (I mean, Starforce is the sequel) That said, Starforce may be a tad more challenging due to limited movement whereas EXE uses a 3x6 grit split in half. Starforce uses 3D during battles too, so it might be a bit more of a spectacle. It's also a bit more "tokusatsu hero" than the EXE games They're both fun of course
