About what I expected. Back in December I commented on here: “I think we’ll get a paltry reconfirmation of a successor’s existence in a direct in February or March, with a larger reveal coming later in the year.“ Which more or less lines up, timeline’s shifted a bit and it wasn’t a direct but I figured it would go like this. Bit of a taste to drum up the buzz and we will get a larger look in April. I’m pumped, thought it was bang on what it needed to be.
The way “hard corps” stands out in the NA design ruins it for me, it looks like the kind of bad photoshop you’d see on a mid 90s internet fan site. Japanese cover has way more cohesion and a cooler neo noir style.
I’m usually top 25 with a fair amount of top 10’s. I haven’t gotten the dub just yet but it’s close. I can usually pinpoint where I went wrong, it can be a pretttttty small margin of error between 1st place and the rest of the top 25.
The art style is not THAT much of a departure, and it is the gameplay that needs a refresh. In my opinion, this is two steps back after the Mario Maker games. Hell, even Mario 35 had more spark than this, it felt fresh. The formula needs a bigger twist. For me, anyways.
I have been experimenting with the King Kong 2 Pro one and I rather like it. I think with most recent firmware there's less input lag. I tend to play wired and don't use gyro aiming so I haven't noticed the same issues. I have been abusing the hell out of it to try to test the limits of the sticks.
Ahh, 3000-4000 per session seems way more realistic than her initial 4000. That kind of day rate is pretty darn good for most working voice actors, probably one of the higher tier union rates. The trade off with voice work is you don’t make as much but you can gig constantly. I’ve worked with some actors that recorded out of their own home studio with director/producer/client/etc just phoning in, and they line multiple sessions up a day.

It’s very much in line with something like the cosmetics in Valorant. It’s how these games make their money, I don’t know what you expect. The majority of players will enjoy the game PERFECTLY FINE completely free of charge. A select number of hardcore fans will spend 100’s and sometimes 1000’s of dollars on skins and cosmetics. They need to keep the lights on somehow.
RIP, this game was soooo good when it launched on PC and still had a sizeable community, it’s such a shame that ideas like this game can’t gain wider attention. It’s so much more of an esport in my eyes than say a COD or some other paint by numbers FPS.

Good time to buy

Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
Polygon are running a story that suggests Genki has never seen the new hardware and was only basing their mock ups on other leaks. Wild if true!
Re: Round Up: 'Switch 2' Renders Suggest A Sleek, Classy Successor
I’m not sure how I feel about the whole magnets thing, if true. Magnets can lose their magnetism when dropped, when heated, etc.
Re: Surprise! Another 'Switch 2' Accessory Has Been Revealed
@WaveBoy I’m with you on the sensor bar, that was a missed opportunity with the Switch
Re: PSA: Switch 2 Is Getting Revealed In The Next 100 Days
I think we’ll get a paltry reconfirmation of a successor’s existence in a direct in February or March, with a larger reveal coming later in the year.

Re: Poll: With 'Switch 2' Rumours Swirling, Will There Be A September Direct This Year?
Yes to a direct, no to it being a hardware announcement.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Astro Boy: Omega Factor
Too many people just vote for whatever their region is, this one shouldn’t even be close.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Contra: Hard Corps / Probotector

Re: Atooi's Switch Game Hatch Tales Is Finished, But It's Been Delayed Again
It looks like a student game someone whipped up on their summer break

Re: 'Star Racer' Is A Rad Mix Of F-Zero And Star Fox, With Music From Banjo Composer
Making something THIS close to F-ZERO and only targeting Switch as a stretch goal irks me a bit.
Re: Award-Winning Cosy Mining Adventure 'Core Keeper' Digs Onto Switch Next Year
I played this on PC with some friends and it is GREAT.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Wario Land: Shake It!
The Japanese cover so much cooler. Another milquetoast win and proof democracy was a failed experiment. /s

Re: The GameCube And Wii Emulator Dolphin Is No Longer Coming To Steam
Let’s be honest with ourselves, this thing was NEVER coming to Steam.
Re: Doomsday Hunters Is A Frantic Roguelike Shooter Blasting Onto Switch This Week
I got this on Steam back when it launched just because the art style really grabbed me, I was pleasantly surprised, gud game.
Re: TMNT: Shredder's Revenge DLC Will Feature A Dimension-Hopping Survival Mode
They had me at Usagi.
Re: Nintendo "Currently Have No Specifics To Share" About Other Legacy Platforms For Switch Online
Alright, what if… they release DS and 3DS games. Top screen is your TV, bottom screen is a Switch Lite. I would 1000% buy a Switch Lite for that.
Re: Talking Point: Is Super Mario Bros. Wonder Really A Departure From The 'New' Series?
The art style is not THAT much of a departure, and it is the gameplay that needs a refresh. In my opinion, this is two steps back after the Mario Maker games. Hell, even Mario 35 had more spark than this, it felt fresh. The formula needs a bigger twist. For me, anyways.
Re: Action Rogue-Lite 'Ember Knights' Slashes Its Way Onto Switch Next Month
This game is GREAT, especially in coop. It has an overwhelmingly positive on Steam and will be an amazing addition on Switch.
Re: Dead Cells Tops 10 Million Sales As Evil Empire Teases New Games In Two "Really Massive" Franchises
I’m very curious to know what they’re working on!

@Deviant-Dork huh?!
Re: Poll: Will You Be Updating Your Copy Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I have never even once felt compelled to dupe an item in this game, I’m actually a bit shocked by this comment section.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Ikaruga
NA all the way if it wasn’t for that big dumb quote. I like Japan otherwise, feels more sci-fi with the cooler tone and all the Japanese small font.
Re: Talking Point: With One Month 'Til TOTK, What's Left For You To Do In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild?
I could go in and finish the last set of sword trials, couple other odds and ends, but I think I’m good on BOTW. Ready to move on to TOTK.

I thought it was pretty darn good, myself.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mega Man X2
The Western version has some TRULY bad box art, IMHO.

I am excited? MK11 was great.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer "Let Down" By Exclusion Of Original Credits In Remaster
New project, sure, but old code, old assets. Those people deserve equal credit, this project would not exist without their efforts.
Re: Review: Inscryption - This Ingeniously Devilish Deck-Builder Is Still Ace On Switch
A solid 9/10 for me, don’t read the review and just play it.

So. Darn. Excited.
Re: Video: The Future Of Gaming Is Joy-Con Drift-Free
I have been experimenting with the King Kong 2 Pro one and I rather like it. I think with most recent firmware there's less input lag. I tend to play wired and don't use gyro aiming so I haven't noticed the same issues. I have been abusing the hell out of it to try to test the limits of the sticks.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
The NA/Euro box is tacky af.
Re: Sonic Frontiers Lead Composer Upset By Leaks, Says It's "Ruining The Experience For Others"
It’s simple.. just stay off of social media, avoid leaks AND stop the brain rot.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry's Technical Analysis Of Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope
Can’t wait, first game was easily one of my favourite Switch games.

Re: Bayonetta's OG Voice Actor Asks Fans To "Boycott" Third Game After PlatinumGames Wage Fallout
The people comparing a VA’s rate to a typical hourly wage are coming across as REAL stupid, just thought y’all should know.

It’s fine, I doubt the animation will be this film’s biggest issue
