    Hey Jocelot!

    1) Click Windows Start button

    2) Scroll down and click on Settings.

    3) Click on the System Tab under Settings and scroll down till you go to the "About" tab. Should be able to see it.

    One of my good friend's pc is a little under-specced. His GPU is above the requirement but his CPU is a little under. I hope it won't be any issue. 

     

     

    @Darc_RequiemYeah I guess it's really important for them to test things under a closed environment. But aaaaah I can't contain my excitement anymore. 🤣
    By the way I remember you were writing a book about 3 years back about the time I left here. I hope everything went well!! 

    Ayo, is that the homie Edmund back from the dead?

    Good luck on the master sword trials...don't forget to eat the trees.  Even if the wood only gives you 1/4 a heart for eating it....better than nothing.

    I'd rather use the wood for updrafts on demand. Iirc, 4 bundles and some fire and you're good.

    I'm excited for the new Fire Emblem game, but can I push through Three Houses and the Musou by the 20th of January?

    You could, but I'm not sure you have to.

    That's the same thing I said when she told me lol.  Yeah supposedly there is a journal in there and it might be tied to a hidden shrine...its been a while so I'm a bit fuzzy on that but I woudn't be surprised if there was.

    I think I know where it is? If it is where I'm thinking, it's a pain in the ass to get there. I might boot up one of my old saves real quick. 

     

    Come to think of it, I should finish up that Limited Food run I was doing. That game gets UGLY when you only have 5 food slots. Probably the best way to play it though. I feel it gets a little too easy when you can just heal up so much on demand.

    It is impressive. But I think after SF6's reveal, the next gen Triple A market is going to be very realistic looking. MK12, T8, and SF6 all employ some extremely real textures, lighting, and effect. There is a striking sheen of similarity in art direction. Even though the anatomical proportions may vary from SF being more exaggerated, MK more down to Earth, and Tekken 8 somehow being somewhere between the two right now.

    The catch is, SF6 looks like a graphical leap compared to its previous numbered entry. This alone will generate interest. Tekken8, while very much eye candy, looks more in line with what was expected. What is predictable. It looks very safe.

    SF6's artstyle is also arguably very safe too but for different reasons.

     

    I honestly didn't even know MK12 was a thing. It's not like I'll bother watching an instant of its footage either way.

     

    SF6 is very distinct. T8 looks better rn imo. Maybe better is not the word, but sharper. It's fair that T8 doesn't look like an astounding leap graphically-wise at first glance compared to 7, but that's because T7 was the best looking FG of last gen unless you wanna throw ArcSys into the mix. I wouldn't because it'd be like comparing apples and oranges with how different the artstyles are.

     

    I'm fairly impressed with 8 so far. Still need info on that rollback though.

    Yeah I'm apprehensive about Fire Emblem Engage. The production quality is what I'd be hoping for in FE game but that premise seems like Fire Emblem Heroes: Console Edition. Three House/Hopes had nice universe with a story line that lacked a "golden route." Which I appreciated because if a game has a Golden Route, that's the one I'm going to take 90% of the time. I had to leave out 10% in case there is some Mass Effect 3 Synthesis bullshit. My biggest issue with Three Hopes they clearly needed to push the game back to have enough to flesh out all the routes. The end game comes off as "Oh shit, we are out of time, wrap this shit up."

     

    I think the biggest issue with Fire Emblem Engage is that game was supposed to be out to celebrate the anniversary of the series. The whole premise of the game is clearly built around that. Since it missed the date, it hits different. I think the perception of the game would be better if were on time.

    Tbh, I don't really mind the premise. 

     

    Sure, there are narrative concerns like "Will the new characters and story actually manage to stand on their own", but I'm not immediately opposed by the idea.

     

    The protag design is just atrocious. At some point someone gotta look at the character designer and tell him to fuck off with that. I'm really hoping this one is actually customizable for once. Awakening was like 10 years ago and they haven't managed to put out a decent protag since that.

     

    I did notice the archer shooting on a tower, so hopefully there's more terrain variety.

     

    I'm still astonished at Celica giving people goddamn Warp Ragnarok. That's U N G A. 🤣

    Added Tekken 8.

     

    Question.

    Do you mind if I add platform fighters and Arena Fighters to the post?

    Since A lot of people don't consider them fighters, or at least games of interest.

    I wouldn't mind if they were in a separate spoiler tab tbh.

     

    I might as well be productive and drop the Tekken 8 trailer here. Good thread idea. 👍

    Now that I'm rewatching the trailer, I'm getting crazy Awakening vibes from that beginning section of the protag waking up and having to fight some "corrupted" with a Great Knight and a probably useless Cleric. The Mage kid stands in for Robin. You know someone will have a ring to summon Grima too.

     

    Presentation-wise, the game looks great.

    Yep, Emblems are the stat sticks of this game. They look waaaaay more tame than Battalions and Pair Ups, but I can't help but notice all the skills they're packing.

    The lack of a durability meter for the weapons is kinda glaring too. PLEASE don't be like Fates. 🤢

     

    Hol up...

    Celica gives WARP RAGNAROK!?

    Yeah the rumors ahead of it's announcement said the team brought some other developers to help polish up the graphics and it shows. From a graphical stand point it's leagues above Three Houses. Three Houses has a great artstyle so it hid how meh the graphics were from a technical standpoint. 

    What I'm really hoping for are better map designs.

     

    FE varies wildly between games, so it's hard to have expectations for it because we never really know how things will work. I'd guess the phantom summons will replace Battalions and Gambits, but I'm not quite sure how they'll work when it comes to progression and enemies. Both Pair Up and Battalions were available for enemies in past games, but I don't see random bandits running around with ancient villains in Paralogues and side missions.

     

    A break from the whole "fight the other playable characters" thing is also nice. Three Houses kinda fumbled the ball a bit by introducing the obviously evil and overarching antagonistic Agarthans but not having a golden ending. From what I've heard, Three Hopes kinda double down on it.

     

    The Protag looks even more ridiculous than usual. Incredible. The old Great Knight looks nice. Hopefully he's closer to Frederick than say, Gunter. Didn't really care about the rest.

    Square Enix went ham with a ton of games that I can't tell apart. 

     

    Oh well, Pikmin and Octopath aren't my thing, so this direct was obnoxiously mid to me. BotW2 finally got a name, Tears of the Kingdom, but the only tears I see are my own's because of that May 2023 release date.

     

    New FE looks alright and I did notice Micaiah and Lyn on that opening sequence. Need more info though. Presentation-wise, it looks great.

     

    The only unfortunate news is that Metroid did not have anything mentioned. It's ok though, I'm a Makoto fan, I'm used to it.

    Hitman and Striker got like one goofy nerf. Not even sure if it was a worthwhile nerf for either character.

     

    😂

    They literally nerfed the most busted things of both of these characters. :coffee:

     

    Striker used to be able to run up with an invincible DP and straight up guard break you if you didn't have meter to GC.

    ArcSys pulled up on Swift Master like:

     

    The changes were fairly reasonable and minimal besides those, which is more than fair enough, the game was working as intended besides Swift Bastard.

     

    Wait, Launcher got no buffs. LMAOOOOO @TWINBLADES

     

    But more importantly... all the heathens and haters can hold all of that, Crusader got no nerfs.
