I'm hoping Extreme Gear will be the most technical out of all of the rides. I absolutely loved the original Riders, and I want the game to treat its sense of style with respect. I don't care if it's too hard for a "kids game". It should be an option for the adults who want more difficulty out of their racing games

@Anti-Matter Yes, stick with the worst game in the series over something so shallow

Anyways!

@dcon_dot_exe Would make for some interesting multiplayer

@-wc- Well, I mean, when you start seeing what these games are actually like and how human they can be, the eslop becomes even more insulting and comes off as someone who took sex ed from P-hub.
So yeah, I do take it seriously.

@-wc- Golden rule of eslop: If it has "hentai", "waifu" or other curiously chosen words in the title, it's not real hentai. Just baity bullcrap.

Actual eroge blend in with a lot of the JRPGs and Visual Novels that get released because they actually seek to have a loyal, long-lasting audience, not rip the customer off.

@Dazman There use to be Nedgame, but they closed their shop around me when the pandemic hit...

@-wc- "porn"....

@JohnnyMind It's because doing so isn't going to make it easy to reverse. When they hide something, they hide it. So how do you know it is something to "unhide" if you never know it exists?
It does start to overstep what a storefront is logistically trying to do: sell you stuff.

Again, I'd rather just have a tidy storefront that lets all creativity shine on the same stage.
Inversely, a better system would be to allow following highlight developers. But not hiding the meaningful content. This way if you are feeling adventurous, you can take a look at the "what's new" page and see everything.

@JohnnyMind I'm not quite into that idea, because what if they release a game that does interest you, or help you understand a whole new genre of gameplay or storytelling?
I'm just not a fan of the idea of blanket blocking because of shallow disinterest in the heat of the moment.

I don't mind them hitting the clear scam titles off of their platform, but I hope this doesn't lead to them removing earnest creativity on their store.

@Sir_Axeman Next year?

No Triple Deluxe?

@Vyacheslav333 The fact that we still don't have Tekken Advanced or Tekken Prime on home consoles yet....

@MikeP People are still laughing about it today, many decades later, even outside the culture. Hell, the gacha game in question you probably saw was Korean. I say that's pretty timeless, much to the point that they make actual character dynamics out of it or even outright role reversals. (Bless the mesugaki trope! 😭) Hell, there's already dynamics out of it with how the old men all have bloody water faucets for nostrils and the dancer getting all shy and flustered. It's not much because 90s arcade game, but it's at least trying to be something a bit more and is trying to be cute about it (in a Belgian comic kinda way). It just helps to know when to not take something seriously, because it certainly ain't a commentary. Most average people would already understand that and move on.

@MikeP Dated? yeah right. Was just in a gacha subreddit and there was a lot more implications shown in those gag comics than that ending. The comic in question: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fmirais-revolutionary-jelly-disaster-translated-himiya-jouzu-v0-pub1m6erdihe1.png%3Fwidth%3D1080%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D5ad11f3536d4eb50bd2845b5fe1b70260ba7e09d

The "modern audience" doesn't exist. Sexual humor is also a timeless concept. It's better for entertainment media, old or new, to be enjoyed for what they are instead of becoming more concerned about moral-brigading problem tourists. Because let's be perfectly honest, if you played the game and chose the obvious "sexy arab dancer" and tried getting to that ending, chances are you already like the game anyways to get to that point and you don't really care much for the ending to begin with.

The only thing I can say about the ending itself, is that it feels kinda flat. Not much to care about. But you could probably say that about all old fighting game endings

@Vyacheslav333 well sht....

@Anti-Matter Maybe if we are talking utility devices like phones, but consoles are leisurely devices, specialized to do one thing.

The reality is, people are losing interest because they already have a switch.

@axelhander What kind of person would bring up the anime (as I just did) and talk frequently about how much he loves the games and say "this gothic looking guy CLEARLY listens to rap music"?

While I'm no Donguri, I'm no casual in these games either.

@axelhander Are you talking about me? because I already showed I know a lot

The hell are the Jack Cayman games?!?! Madworld was a stylish game and Max Anarchy Reigns built on top of that by turning it into an arena fighter.

@OldManHermit Nah, he canonically listens to something like this

@axelhander In the context of Devil May Cry, it sucks

Not gonna lie, kinda came off as cringy thinking a nanny type was listing everything in that description.
"Someone said the A word" and other things really threw me off.

@iedutu There's always Playasia and Dundle

@Bobb Currency conversion issues.
The yen is quite weak right now and people are exploiting that. In comparison, the euro and dollar right now are about neck and neck with each other

Isn't this "prototype" just a wooden block?

@Bobb I wouldn't bother worrying. Assuming it's a 1:1 conversion, all of the cards featured in these games already have a real world translation/localization. So it's just a linguistic portjob.

My real concern is content authenticity, since back in the day, the guys who wee running the card game thought it would be a smart idea to market a game aimed at teens to 6 year olds... Ya know where I'm going with this.

@NintonicGamer Xbox wasn't porting their games to everything though outside of Minecraft though

Killer Instinct and whatever boomer shooter they put out is all I care about

@IronMan30 There's actually belief of questionable behavior going on behind the scenes with the whole access journalism propping up the reviews and being dishonest about the game's quality.
You then have the likes of SkillUp being brutally honest in his review and pulling no punches when needed, speaking things that became the main sentiments behind a lot of what people felt when they played it.

I can't speak about Dragon Age as a series though and don't care too much outside of maybe trying Inquisition. But Valgard's gameplay alone for an RPG entry seemed rather dull just by looking at it.

@Serpenterror That sounds like a mess. Why not just go with Platinum Ninja?

Either way, with the knowledge that Platinum now owns W101, that's not gonna happen.

At least Ninja Gaiden 4 looks promising.

I wanna see if they removed the censorship or not before ordering. Already own the game on Wii U when I was much less stern about this, so they gotta convince me I'm getting the most authentic experience to double dip

Thank the Divas that I play WiXoss instead. Truly rare and expensive cards are just the heroines napping and whatever unique type of shiny card they have autographed (which excludes default shiny gemstone cards you find on Lv3 SIGNI and full art parallels)

The worst thing to happen to a card game is for prices of normal cards to become this prohibitively expensive. It's the reason why I never buy card games from European markets too, since they are double in price from the USA sellers.

@Servbot_EJ They better have a 60fps mode

@graviton Johnny's and co

Wait, isn't this also the same TV channel that drew the original mangaka of their live action adaptation to suicide?

@Olmectron Considering the reason why the Wii U flopped was because they were using outdated coding architecture, it wouldn't have changed either way.

@SalvorHardin To be fair, at least I can understand his combo flow from the trailer alone.

Guy fights like Tusk from KI3, so he looks right at home for me.

No mention of Saya no Uta?

Admittedly though, this seems like something completely out of his wheelhouse. And before it is argued that Madoka Magica was also out of his wheelhouse, Saya no Uta already did similar "appeals" as that series long before it.
I don't recall fuzzy animal search action games being anywhere close to the "urobutcher" name.

@JustMonika that's a remake of the first, actually

If Tekken 8 has all of the DLC so far, I might get it ASAP. Maybe even 2 copies, one for a family member

Eh, I plan on making my Switch a Ring Fit machine anyways when I upgrade. Really gotta lose the weight and I'm more of a handheld gamer anyways

@Fangleman32 When laying out potentially relevant info, like a dual screenshot as I listed is considered "inappropriate" we have a problem.

Calling everything "inappropriate" because one may have a disagreement with what was said comes off as manipulative, controlling karen speak. That's why I always roll my eyes when I see that used because it means nothing to a conversation if you don't have a good faith reason against what I said.

I myself am a moderator of a game subreddit that is still in development (will not say what it is), so I'm already aware of what kind of nonsense may happen behind the scenes and brace myself for it as the sub gets bigger. I still want to be at least fair to good faith members in the long run.

@Fangleman32 except I wasn't being aggressive. If anything, the people having an issue with the people who have an issue got far more aggressive than I did, as I just conveyed potentially relevant info to the guy who asked....

@Markatron84 And that's suppose to mean....?
