@Kirbo100 Just noticed the tough chick, the chick of color and the two twin andronynous chicks. If there's context with them being that way, I'm totally fine. If they are how they are just for woke points, I'll pass.
The WOKE is strong in this one young Jedi... played and liked the first one quite a bit, great soundtrack too. If this one is going to be fun and not hitting me with the PC-sledgehammer over and over again, I might pick it up!
Loved the original game. I don't care for anyones skin color or sexual orientation. I do care though if it gets all the attention and story telling and skill take a backseat for politics. Stop it. It's proven time and time again: GET WOKE, GO BROKE. Most of the gay people I know are absolutely no LGBTQ+whatever activists and just live their lifes to be happy and that's how it should be!
@CammyUnofficial Good idea indeed, thank you. There are plenty of retro-handhelds as well, go that pocket go thingy and love it. Still, would love a dedicated first party thing.
I'd love to have a pimmped up Gameboy. Monochrome, high contrast, high backlight screen and have people work around these limitations. Grandiose battery life (10+ hours) and pair it with some kind of "game dev studio" to create and export home brew games. Like that game studio thing on Switch. Boosts sales across the board and teaches people basic programming and gaming principles. Yay!
To me, that's a gimick. Too weak for enthusiasts, too bulky and little battery power to remain relevant on the go. More power to PC gamers, but I think it's more viable to use a gaming PC instead and if you so wish do some kind of game-streaming to an external device.
I wish a Switch Pro is still coming. I'm perfectly fine with my Switch as is, but given the chance to have the games run a TAD BIT better at times, I'd take the opportunity. The Steam Deck still only has a (albeit great) integrated graphics chip and most games will not be fully optimized for that kind of form factor. I feel like the BEST reasons to own a PC are games that are played with mouse and keyboard. To this demographic the Steam Deck does very little imho.
That said, at the end of the day, WHO CARES. Get what you like. Simple as that.
@jump All a matter of perception. I liked that they talked about her for so long. She was a central piece of the plot (like you said) and it felt more "real" to me that she wasn't just forgotten when when the story progressed. Russel T Davis was more enjoyable for me than Moffat, even though Moffat had a few brilliant episodes but to me ran dry of creativity in his later days of writing for Who.
But I can't really blame him. If you're tasked with constantly putting out quality content to a Show that in reality has had almost EVERY storyline possible already due to it's nature, there's bound to be a few duds here and there.
@Classic603 I know what you mean and can relate. But this goes beyond that. Political themes have entered the realm of Dr. Who and unfortunately Whittaker isn't a very good actress. These two factors combined curbed the interest of many viewers. I've watched only 2 episodes out of order of Whittaker's Doctor and could barely watch it. It really took a nosedive since Tennant and Smith days.
The recent change in leadership and writers of course plays a huge role as well. And no I am not being political here, but it's perfectly fine to say "nope, don't like that product anymore for reasons X and Y."
With recent numbers indicating that Dr. Who is falling off an even deeper cliff, I wonder what the future for the series will hold. Rumor has it that the regeneration scene was filmed 2 times with greenface on, one female and one male because apparently they can't find anyone willing to step into what the recent writers and producers left behind. Watched and loved it up until Capaldi.
@MajinSoul Yep, button layout made my head scratch. I fear it will be a very niche "PC master race" product. But hey, to each their own, I'd still prefer a proper Switch Pro though.
Honestly, I don't care, but that's just me, I'm just over having a Steam Library consisting of 1.000 Games I got during a sale but never got to play because the only incentive to get them was the cheap price to begin with.
Was hoping for a Pro with more power. I don't care for 4K, but would prefer a bit more eyecandy on certain titles and higher framerates. I'm perfectly happy with my 2nd gen LCD Switch.
Wow, the demo is REALLY beefy, I love the visual style, the silly humor, that fat cat. It's even more enticing than RISE in some aspects. Love MH and this is just another milestone. Love the special moves, the monster collecting. Argh. And your avatars are SO CUTE. Love it, even though mine came out "too yellow" and I hope we can change skin color later on (as of now in the demo there's no option to do so).
I wonder if that hype is real, that GBA and N64 might come onto NSO today. Honestly I'd much prefer having the virtual console back. This is all garbage. No incentive for Nintendo to put out "free games" the way it is. Just make us pay a fifth time for old games all over again. If the price is right, I won't mind.
Oh, and finally give us voicechat lobbies online. I mean come on, even XBOX had it back in the day...
Love MH. Love the world. Love tactical RPGs. Got it preordered. Will play through it and then pick up MH Generations ultimate, because I can't have enough MONSTERS!
@Jayvir It's funny how the world is pushing for evermore bandwith, like that 5G rollout over here in Europe, and then when there's finally enough bandwith we cream it with streaming not only 4K video content all over the place but now games too. In a not too distant future the Internet will be LIGHTNING fast but FEEL like it's 1999 all over again.
At least I could start a new EverQuest toon then...
@anoyonmus I kinda knew that. Just was coming down hard from the pre-E3 NS-Pro hypetrain. Hope it's at least real and will come SOME TIME. I don't mind 4K, but I'd love to get a few more frames and a bit more shinyness here and there.
Looks nice, basically the same game over and over again, but hey, so is Mario etc. - why change what's good right? This will be a nice replacement for Persona 5. Can't wait.

What a bunch of steaming garbage. But that's just my opinion, feel free to disagree and imagine you weren't.

Re: Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings Of Ruin Has Shipped Over One Million Units Worldwide
Truly remarkable, wonderful game. If you're looking at the frame rate while playing, you are doing it wrong.
Re: Retro FMV Shooter Corpse Killer Finally Has A Switch Release Date
Awful awful game in every conceivable way.
Re: Random: The Internet Is Dunking On Space Jam 2's Game Boy Cameo
Hollywood is all obsessed about "color". So that's that coming their way. Who cares about any of this anyways?
Re: Monster Hunter's New 3D Anime Movie Premieres On Netflix This August
This looks like very bad custscenes. I LOVE MH, but will give this a pass, and since it's on Netflix, I wouldn't watch it anyways.

Re: Gabe Newell: Pricing Valve's Switch-Like Steam Deck Was "Painful"

Great for collectors. Not for me though. Would have loved Oracle of Seasons in the style of Link's Awakening. Too bad.
Re: Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water Jumps From Wii U To Switch And, Surprisingly, Other Platforms

Re: Life Is Strange Remastered And Life Is Strange: True Colours Coming Later This Year
Really really loved the first one. Touched me deeply. Will dip again.

Re: Metroid 5 Is Coming To Switch, And It's 2D
