@Yosti I found that, but there’s only one whip. I remember reading there was the lion’s tamer whip, and I think either the dinner outfit from the opening of ToD or the blimp steward from TLC.
@neogyo I think the phrase you are looking for is “eliminating crony capitalism.” NGO’s need to stop infiltrating development studios and forcing them to produce slop that no one wants.
@NatiaAdamo There’s going to be some very interesting court cases over the next few years regarding AI use and what is and isn’t copyrightable. Art in and of itself is inspired from prior work, but when it’s flat out stolen such as the use of AI. Hope the judges are on top of things…
Every comment here about Nintendo needing to move away from “the Switch style” of hardware cracks me up. Hybrid platforms are just starting. Like it or not this is the future of gaming. One device is able to achieve parity between playing at home on the big screen, on the road, or sitting next to your significant other while they’re watching their favorite show on the television. If Nintendo could have done this in 1989 we would be on GameBoy 8 or 9 by now.
Why stop at YouTube? This is a different world we live in. I was blown away when Netflix first came to the Wii, 16 years later and we can’t get YouTube? What the heck…
@darthstuey Yup, I generally buy whatever is the cheapest available.
There is one nice thing for codes in the box. If you’re purchasing a gift for someone it is nice to hand them something they can unwrap and be surprised by. You can’t have that same experience going strictly digital.
@AJWolfTill You’ve proved my point. Andor was something completely different. It worked. As did Rogue One. All new actors in the same universe. They were their own stories. It was the attempt to replace Han, Luke, and Leia with Temu versions of those characters is what failed. Same reasons why Marvel phase 4 and 5 failed. Replacing well established characters with knock-offs.
We don’t need a female James Bond, or a different ethnicity James Bond, we ALL know who James Bond is, and what he looks like. They want to try to make Jane Bond, or Jerome Bond, or Jian Bond, as a new 00#, I’m cool with it, but please don’t replace James.
@WhiteTrashGuy Could have gotten it on PS5 but I preordered the S2 version. Figured doing it that way if the game is, how do they say in the world of Bond, *****, I can cancel my preorder. 😉
@trobby Tried getting back in to it with 3 but my team always gets destroyed. I’m usually #2 or #3 in the group, I don’t do bad relatively compared to the other team, but man I can’t get on a winning team to save my life.
@larryisaman Agree. It feels as if the sequel is already in the original release. I feel like I’m 90% through the game, I just completed the sunken ship mission, but I felt like I was 90% many hours ago.
@Smerd I put over 100 hours in to it since the update, started from scratch. I have no issues with it. Is it perfect? Not by their standards, but it’s a great game for my 50 year old eyes. As the kids like to say, the 60FPS is bang’n! 😄
@Mgalens I’m playing X now and on chapter 12. You’re spot on. Exploring the planet is a lot of fun. Amazing to think this was all originally on the Wii U. That was a vastly underrated system.
Question, what do people do with these pins? You’re not going to use them as a tie pin, or lapel pin on your jacket. They’re hard to display. What do you do with them?
@DanijoEX I get not wanting to spend $80, but $60 isn’t that far off. The difference we’re talking about is practically lunch at McDonald’s in today’s money. Bring your significant other, and you’re over that difference.
Leisure activities have gotten out of control. I use to be in to motorcycles, big time. I stepped away when my son was born. Seventeen years later I’m starting to get the itch again. A BMW GS has increased 100% in that amount of time.
I don’t get it. All these “Pro” controllers are within $10-$20 of the real thing, but often lack important features such as wake. For that small difference why not just get the real thing? Especially when it’s regarded as one of the all-time best controllers on the market.
For me to consider anything else it would need to be in the $29.99-$39.99 USD range.
I don’t get it. I have to side with Capcom on this.
If Capcom wanted to use AI couldn’t they just have gone on without him in the first place? I’m sure whatever deal there was in place did not include AI as I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a thing when the last deal was made. Sounds like he shot himself in the foot on this one.
@RudyC3 That’s not how it works. Otherwise McDonald’s coffee lady would have never been a thing or the other similar tens of thousands of cases where people sue big corporations and win big money.
@Blueyesowl83 I did. For real. I’m having a blast with my “broken” upgrade.
And just so you know, all that stuff in the code didn’t magically happen. Someone out in the work to get it there. Is it perfect? No. Whether there will be additional updates? Who knows. If so it wouldn’t be the first time a patch was released for a game.
@Samalik Fixed it just for you. Everything a business does has a budget attached to it. Some projects go over it, some under. Rarely do we know which does what.
I want games to be their best and for developers to improve their work whenever possible. If it means they need to collect additional funds to cover costs then so be it. If they have money left over in the budget to cover it, all the better. Ultimately consumers get to decide whether the investment was worth it.
Enough business 101 for you, I have some Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition Switch 2 Upgrade to play.
@Dpullam Funny you should say that, I completely missed X during the Wii U days. Didn’t know it was a thing. I bought this thinking it was the original and it caught me off guard. I didn’t like it either at first, but it has grown on me.
@Samalik Yup. Bought it for the Switch. Awesome thing is that it works fine on the S2 and didn’t have to spend a dime! What’s cool was Monoliftsoft commissioned a team to make a new version of the game and only charge $5 for it, if you want it.
Nintendo isn’t a charity. They take calculated risks to provide a service they believe their customers are looking for. If they do a good job and people like it, they make money and the people remain customers.
They aren’t releasing these new projects out of the kindness of their hearts or to lose money. Only government can get away with taking someone else’s money to give you things for free.
