Played Chapter 1 an hour after it released. Lost interest by the time the rest released. Sorry Toby, Quirk Chungus is dead.

Having a 10 year old kid and still thrusting your crotch at a younger woman who looks massively disgusted ON CAMERA like what an actual idiot. Imagine your kid seeing that.

I want a cow as a pet. Not for any other reason than just them being funny.

@Truegamer79 I managed to track down the exact model of Walkman my mum had a couple Mother’s Days back, as well as staples like the Top Gun soundtrack, Billy Joel, Bryan Adams etc!

I just generally like tapes especially with the later Walkman models improving the sound quality massively. J-cards are cool too, especially if they have liner notes you can unfold like an old map.

Sacrilege about the John Barnes rap is not to be tolerated. In a world where even the slightest mention of the words ‘England’ and ‘football’ makes a saltire shaped rash break out, John Barnes’ rap stands tall above the rest. The real sh*tter is the Liverpool FC Rap from a few years prior.

“This” Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive? Think that should read the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive 😉

@_xXharmless_yigaXx_ Donald Sutherland is dead.

I honestly thought the new content would be in the revamped version and the original would be in the classic version. Weird own goal. But it’s his vision.

Yeah let’s not put Noah Schnapp anywhere near this lol. He’ll end up siding with Ganon.

I had loads of issues with my PS5’s HDR until I really messed around with my TV’s settings, having a Samsung is irritating as most of their settings all have different names, including HGIG which is called something stupid like Game HDR+.

I know her from the Doctor Who serial The Mind of Evil, one of the more interesting Third Doctor stories. Good actress.

Japan cover is iconic. I do love Jet Set Radio, the Dreamcast’s vibe is entirely unique with the weird middle ground between generations, so much character and charm that other consoles’ output lacks.

I’d probably agree with this one. It’s a really great area with verticality and some of the better sidequests. Not as much of a ballache to get around either, compared to even just Colony 9’s beach areas.

Makes sense. Adventure is basically a proto-Metroidvania in its structure.

Very very poor showing to not even let her know that she’s being recast. Fair enough if you want to go in a different direction but give the poor woman a heads up.

Man this game is an all-timer. Great to see it on Switch 2 and I’ll need to find out wtf these new scenes are.

I still think Blood Money is the pinnacle of Hitman but oh man, these games were an absolute treat to support this last almost decade (horrifying it’s been so long). I think 2016 is my favourite actually, the episodic release was part of why I massively preferred it to 2 at the time, I was forced to really suck everything out of each level before the next released instead of following them like a campaign where I didn’t stop to smell the roses. Yes, that includes Colorado and yes, that was a long wait for Hokkaido. Paris on release is one of my favourite gaming moments ever, exploring the map, finding new secrets, toying with the new systems, WALKING THE RUNWAY! Then Sapienza was just as good and the fanbase realised collectively that IO nailed it. It’s hard to put into words just how seriously this game revived a franchise that was capital D Dead. Absolution is a franchise killer of a game, plenty series have never ever gotten past entries like that.

I have the Hitman 3 platinum (47 trophies ofc) and have every single location at the maximum level, this package is not for me. However, I would find it very difficult to name a product that provides as many hours of sheer fun as this, especially in handheld mode. I’d implore as many people to buy this game as humanly possible, forget the frame issues, forget the online requirement nonsense because this game is worth it. The fact they went from Square Enix, to WB, to self publishing the final part of the trilogy speaks to the sheer tenacity the devs showed in service of these games, which is why I have every confidence that Bond will be brilliant too. PLAY THIS GAME!

Me for the near future

@OthmaneAD That’s the same thing on PS5 as well though, some games get £10 upgrades with big improvements, older games get 60FPS and that’s it.

@OthmaneAD I played Super Mario Sunshine on my PC almost 15 years ago with a fan-made HD texture pack. That looked better than a basic upscale.

I really wish I had one of these, I do love the N64 one with the improvements they made.

@OthmaneAD That’s such a stupid comparison though, by that logic literally nothing ever will look better than a PC with mods depending on how many thousands you pump into your PC. I emulate everything from the Wii generation and back but the draw with Switch 2 is that it’s a handheld console running things this well.

I love watching any Japanese movie from the past 30 years because I’ll randomly be pointing at the screen cause I recognise someone from Yakuza. It’s kinda mad how many big actors they’ve had in the games.

@sethfranum It’s June. Everything went up in April. I had £6 in my account the day before payday there. I haven’t actually bought a game with money in about 3 years, a year worth of PS Plus is the only way I get ‘new’ games unless I borrow from family or friends or get one for my birthday or something. Adult life!

Where’s the option for “I’m too poor due to rent, food, energy and essentials increasingly exponentially”?

I bought mine with my first (double) student loan payment. The Switch 2’s coming out after my Switch seeing a hell of a lot; global pandemic, mental health struggles, a degree followed by complete disillusionment with my chosen field. 2017 is a long time ago now even if it doesn’t feel like it on paper. It’s been a great generation for Nintendo, but not necessarily for me. I love the form factor of the Switch but a lot of the big games didn’t captivate me like they did in previous generations. Creativity in some aspects seems to have been replaced by more and more corporate elements that have crept in post Wii/DS.

While I’m slightly done with the 2012 Tumblr queer vibes in general, this does seem like it would have been incredibly fun as a group of VAs due to each character being a blank slate to create a fun personality around.

@dartmonkey It’s about more than just moderation of a single article though. This happens every single time an article is even remotely linked to a minority group. I understand that you can’t choose the audience you cultivate but every time there’s some sort of ban, another takes their place to spew blatant hate speech. They must feel comfortable doing so for a reason, and so there’s clearly more that can be done to stamp it out.

I forget how fash this site’s users lean until an article like this rolls along. You’d think blatant transphobia would be against the site’s rules, it’s a protected characteristic under the UK Equality Act (yes still, despite the Mould Queen’s big money campaign). Then again, a lot of the Pride content died when Kate left so perhaps it’s a conscious decision.

Mike Ashley has somehow made GAME worse. Shame he didn’t bury Rangers for good while he was at it!

Go back to 3D, Deadly Alliance and Deception are brilliant!

Possibly one of the least ethical game mechanics I’ve ever heard. Like if that was explored in a movie then the person would be a borderline supervillain.

Yep, procedural generation getting tarred with the AI brush is a shame, it’s a core part of many games over the years and an absolute artform.

@Pillowpants Ok. Don’t use them then. Having the option at all is good for everyone.

I don’t really see any way for this to make a cohesive story, unless it’s some sort of companion piece or prequel. Even then, it’s just too dense for modern moviegoers, same as Warcraft was. Please keep Shaun Dooley though, his performance in Elden Ring is one of my favourite VA performances by a traditional actor.

I absolutely loved Hyrule Warriors 1. I’m not playing Age of Calamity or this because I’m just utterly bored of the BotWverse and Zelda reinvents itself over and over yet apparently now has become Persona 5 levels of oversaturation.

Oh my god please bring these back

Grim. Also already resulting in any protections in place being completely destroyed, clips floating about of Darth Vader calling himself a puppy girl.

I really agree with this article. As much as I played Evolution on Vita so got the QOL changes, the rhythm of this game is incredibly chill to the point that I understand why some are put off but it’s right up my alley. I don’t want them to overblow this remake like the entire Cold Steel series, and most of all they have to refrain from bogging it down with creepy af underaged fan service. The original games have their issues with regards to the same old predatory lesbian jokes and obviously Estelle and Joshua are adopted incestuous but it was handled so much better in the PSP titles than when they moved onto home consoles.

@tdub154420 Baffling to say that about this of all series. UMK3? MK Gold? Never mind all the arcade revisions over the years. This is nothing new for Mortal Kombat.

I find this pretty much sacrilegious but to be fair, I have a visually impaired mate who can’t read subtitles consistently for long periods of time and said the English dubs of the newer Yakuza games helped them appreciate the series far more even if the performances weren’t as good as the JP cast.

Also, that is a huge spoiler saying which games Kashiwagi also appears in. Relevancy to the article shouldn’t take precedence over spoiling a series that many users on this site will be new to, with the series only just hitting Switch recently.

@SilverdudeOmni Which is why 3 should have been DLC for 1+2 and 4 could have been a standalone. So, so much has been cut here.

The fact Andy seems fairly positive while still being measured makes me think it’ll be at least good. It might not be what I wanted with regards to 4 but the challenge system alone from 1+2 is the best thing the series ever did. I watched all his vids (and his Tony Hawk interview) and I’m definitely glad I’m playing it on release. If they do go ahead with an Undergound remake then they absolutely need to bring Andy back on (skate)board, nobody knows the intricacies like he does.

@rjejr It’s a little hard to explain but there’s a general uncanny nature to AI generated images because human brains perceive art in ways that a computer is incapable of. For example if we drew a circle then we’d draw one long curve in one stroke, whereas the AI will generate pixels in a grid format until a circle is created. Depth is often completely lacking from AI art because of that, you can’t generate something based on the ramblings of the human mind, scrapped ideas, the interpretation that the failings of memory introduces etc. It’s a fad because people love jingling keys, but the way it’s being shoved down our throats by corpos means it’s probably here to stay.

That’s not AI generated. Once you train yourself to spot it, you can tell the specific ‘look’. Nintendo would be the last devs to use generative AI.

The bigger news is Andy Anderson’s gonna be in it!!!

This game is great but similar to Majora’s Mask, there’s a best of both worlds version yet to be made.
