Rumours are that it will become a snake but also I read something about a male alligator and crocodile being called a bull which would make fuecoco the ox if the theory of the chinese zodiac calendar holds true.
@abdias please don’t call autism a disease. It’s a mental disorder (no offense) and that’s something most people already don’t like to hear. But don’t call it a disease.
The term @daniel36 used is commonly used by autistic people and parents of autistic people. Atleast where I live. Googling it doesn’t show it’s offensive either but I might not be aware of it being offensive in the US or UK. (Speaking as someone with autism)
On the other hand it’s a term that makes me personally uncomfortable so who am I to say this.
I tend to not use starters anymore and rather go for a team of new mons or regional forms and in case of a replay or remake go for a team I’ve never used before, preferably stuff I don’t like so I grow to appreciate the mons.
But I pick my starter usually based on the cutest base stage. Once I get to the daycare I breed and trade them with friends right away anyway.
@Jey887 people need to stop saying racing sims and arcade racers are niche. Like horror games they where huge during gen 5 and 6, disappeared durinh gen 7 and made a comeback last gen. Forza Horizon 5 sold over 10 million copies and GT7 will definitely so the same. The genre isn’t niche, it’s back from the death.
Rant over lol.
EDIT: lol I think you meant SRPGs and not racing games. My bad, sorry.
Bought mine on launch day, bought my 60th physical switch game last week, put well over 4000 hours into it in those 5 years, it’s probably one of my favorite consoles alongside the psvita and ps5.
The only negative is I got 2 drifting left joy-cons and the third one is showing signs if drifting since a few weeks.
Playing tokyo mirage session #FE encore on the switch after I dropped the wiiU version about 3 years ago. Also some races in forza horizon 5 on the XSX.
Beat bravely default on the 3ds yesterday and it was absolutely amazing. Can’t wait to play bravely second and bravely default 2.
“...Zagreus' boyfriend, Thanatos! (Of course, Zag might be dating someone else in your save file, but... why?)”
I genuinely couldn’t decide which one I loved more. Thanathos dark and edgy vibes, meg for being zagreus’ original lover and always being so moody, or dusa for being such a sweetheart.
@Anti-Matter adult in lego means the set is expensive and hard to build, not actually 18+ content. Lego rates the age advice of their sets based on difficulty of the build. + all Direct to consumer sets and ideas sets get an automatic 18+ rating.
@Screen this is the first time I hear of a PLA bug, as opposed to the sheer amount of BDSP bugs, especially pre launch update. PLA runs just fine from the cartridge, BDSP is literally unplayable, misses content, has a bad translation, misses the intro and opening and has a placeholder soundtrack when played straight from the cartridge pre updates.
I actually just managed to beat mass effect 1 and 2 without ever havinh been spoiled. And I’ve been active on gaming forums since before they released. I agree with the people saying it’s a spoiler, more and more apps and websites support spoiler tagging so it’s becoming less of an internet issue and more of a decency issue. If you can avoid spoilers just avoid them or spoiler tag them and don’t be a jerk saying “well game is old so it’s your own fault for now playing it”, not everyone is your age, not everyone has been a fan of the genre, not everyone knew they liled a series, not everyone had the time or priority to play it and not everyone knows wether they will ever end up playing a game.
@Giancarlothomaz like I said earlier. It isn’t fair to say that KH1 and 2 are ps2 games as the versions in this collection where remade from the ground up for ps3 due to SE losing the source code of the ps2 originals. Still switch should be able to run them but it’s incorrect to say that they’re ps2 games.
@Matty1988 except the difference is zelda is not a series where you need to play all spin offs to understand or follow the story and zelda isn’t spread over 2 console manufacturers and 2 phone manufacturers.
Not counting rereleases there’s 3 KH games on nintendo devices, 1 on nokia phones, 1 on smart phones and all the others are on PlayStation.
EDIT: keep in mind all of these are maingames when it comes to story understanding.
@nessisonett technically they’re ps3 games. They lost the source codes for KH1 and 2 FM so they remade them from the ground up for ps3 nativily. Still the switch should be able to run ps3 games.
Not looking forward to 3ds physical game prices skyrocketing. Have most of the titles I really want but there are about 7 more games I’ll order, 3 of which are prime price hike candidates.
Actually regretted buying The expansion pack for NSO instead of just buying the ACNH dlc before but now with the mario kart dlc being part of it all regret is gone.
TBH we don’t know until their abilities and new stats and move pools are introduced in gen 9.
Until then all we have to go on is data from a game that lacks competetive components.
EDIT: also I can see people usinh ursaring over ursaluna Because it can use eviolites now for a major boost in defensive stats.
@Rika_Yoshitake digital foundry doesn’t really “whine”. Their channel is about seeing how much of a technical marvel games are, gameplay is the least important in those videos unless the gameplay is demanding on the performance itself.
@negw atleast minecraft gets massive yearly updates that breaths fresh air into the entire game and it being a game with infinite replay value. Ther’s also good reasons to double dip minecraft across platforms.
@Lord It’s the second best selling switch game in it’s first weekend in japan beating all other pokemon games. I doubt TPC and GF are dissatisfied with these numbers.
I see people are review bombing arceus already. When this article was bumped back to the mainpage today arceus stood at spot 2 with a 9,2/10. It’s still 2nd but now suddenly is 8,9/10. I’ll give it a week before it’s out if the top 10 and has dropped below 7,5/10.
@SuperZeldaFun gilvasunner rips the files from games himself. He’s been doing that as long as YT has existed as he’s one of the OG youtubers. People making him out as malicious don’t even know who he is it seems. It’s not like he just started doing these uploads as he has been doing it, non profit, for over 10 years before the first take down on his channel in 2020.
Almost done with lost judgment (ps5), after that I’m gonna start mass effect legendary edition (XSX). Also a bit of shiny hunting in pokemon brilliant diamond. Managed to get 2 shiny buneary’s yesterday.
Multiplatform is the way to go, always. I have every nintendo console and handheld except for the SNES and virtual boy, I have all 7 playstation consoles and handhelds and I have the og Xbox, the X360 and a Xbox Series X. Couldn’t be happier. (Also have a dreamcast, mega drive and CD-i. Still want a saturn, master system, neo geo pocket, neo geo, gamegear, atari jaguar, wonderswan and Nokia Ngage.)
@kategray correction about the titanic part. Fox/disney owns titanic world wide, paramount has the US distribution rights. I know it’s a joke but titanic would depend on disney, not paramount.
Lost judgment (ps5) - great game so far. Planning on finishing up the yakuza series this year, besides this one I only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left. I also include fist of the north star which I already played.
Forza horizon 5 (XSX) - got the forza controller for Xmas from my brother which is a good excuse to get back into the game.
Pokemon shield + brilliant diamond (NS) - just shiny hunting.
@MichaelP famitsu gave it a 40/40 which sparked controversy back in the day. It’s a reference to that. Famitsu and western game outlets often don’t align as some of the most praised games in the west get a measly 25/40 and some of the most mediocre games in the west get a 40/40. (Keep in mind famitsu basically has 4 critics review each game with an X/10 and they combine the scores to a X/40.)
I clocked about 400 hours on my switch this year but I’ve probably clocked another 100 on my XSX (which I bought in october) and about 1000 on my ps5. Also probably another 100 on my ps3 and another 100 on the 3ds, wiiU, ps2, psp, psvita, dreamcast, gamecube and gba.
Ended up beating 56 games and counting this year. (not counting the games I dropped this year near their end, about 10 games)
Will probably end up beating 59 or 60 games total.

@Daniel36 don’t apologize, it’s not offensive to me. The discomfort comes from the word feeling “cringe” like they say these days.
