RSG3 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 That's probably Dark Souls II for me. Its a good game, but i don't like it at all compared to all its siblings, and many knock offs i'd rather play as well. I'd rather play DarkSiders III I had over 350 hours in Dark Souls II...

Wellman Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Honestly I would rather they do a sequel that went full on in for the Pokemon x Tekken vibe and ditched the field stuff where the controls changed with the perspective. The fighting game market doesn't really need it but as a casual Pokemon fan, lucador Pikachu and more Pokemon that homage other fighting game characters was fun to see and I would get a kick out of more.

purbeast Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 So you can get that Cursed to Golf game for $1.66, I just grabbed it and can confirm it's in English too. According to the prices page here... https://eshop-prices.com/games/9320-cursed-to-golf It's 344.23 Argentinian, however I went to purchase it and it was actually cheaper than that and was 224.99, which translates to $1.66. I created an Argentian account on the web and then linked it to a new user on my Switch, logged into eShop, entered my normal CC info and put Buenos Aires as the province, and purchase went through.

Like Hitmontop being an Eddie/Lucky, Ditto being Mokojin, Blaziken being a Mishima, Machoke being a King type character, etc. But naw, they did something weird with Pokken. It wasn’t bad by any means but they added a lot of weird things that just weren’t necessary or had good ideas that were badly implemented. It needs to be just a raw 3D Tekken style fighter.

Avengers, Inhumans, X-men, etc. and some obscure people too. That games has a TON of characters. Which Marvel Infinite had that games rosters and artstyle. Edit: Finally beat XBC 3 earlier this morning. Great ending IMO. It hits hard if you've finished XBC1 an XBC2. There are few nods that you'll get. You can unlock two "certain" characters at that point. I'm not going to tell you hours I logged. I think I got almost all the quests, outside the quests for those "certain" characters.

There’s other good characters too like Psylocke, Nightcrawler, Cyclops, Magneto, etc. but the battle mechanics revolves around team attacks and team synergy and those characters work the best with eachother. also Scarlet Witch keeps catching L’s as she’s considered the worst character in the game. 😂 Edited August 21, 2022 by iStu X RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
MillionX Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 sheeeittt, yeah that Marvel Ultimate Alliance game has the best roster at the moment... it's everyone that most people would agree are the cool character picks in Marvel....unlike various other Marvel games on the market right now. (*like Avengers on xb1/ps4....that game is laughable at best, with barely any characters people actually want to be. Meanwhile, MUA 3 is letting me pair up various X-men and Avengers, Blade, Dr. Doom, Ghost Rider, etc. etc.) I'm still not even finished getting all the characters. Wellman 1 Quote Link to comment

Not even including the DLC, the roster of MUA3 easily best out of any non mobile game that was put out for a Marvel game the last gen.

Darc_Requiem Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) So I was re-watching the Xenoblade Chronicles 3 ending in the Event Theater. SPOILERS!!! For the ending. I didn't know @Chadoukenwas in Xenoblade. Spoiler I didn't catch this the first time. I was too busy thinking how cool it was the see the cast of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 in a Nia's photo. If you look closely. Pyrrha, Mythra, and Nia are all holding infants with Rex standing behind him. Rex clapped all three of their cheeks. I joked about it when when I saw the XBC2 title screen after you beat the game. It shows them all standing together. Dude literally got all three girls at the same time. I may have to re-think Rex being the weakest protagonist in the franchise now. They should re-name him Chad. Also it makes me wonder if Mio is Nia's and Rex's daughter. Nia is about tell Mio something but is interrupted and you never hear what it is. They have the same hair and eye color. Rex being her dad would explain her shorter ears in comparison to Nia 🤔 Edited August 22, 2022 by Darc_Requiem Chadouken and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't really think these are spoilers, I'm being super generic but just in case. Spoiler Two Nopons that I can think of right away fit your description. One's is basically a stalker type. He's obsessed with a character to the point of sabotaging a project that literally plays out through the entire game. The other is just a shady blackmarket salesmen type that is clearly gouging a particular colony. Honorable mention the one Nopon that is openly racist to humans. The two Nopon party members grew on me. Riku is basically the serious one and Manana is more the comic relief. Riku caught me off guard at first because you have this little Nopon with a super deep voice. If I didn't know better I'd swear @ShockDingowas doing Riku's voice.

Sure Irdeto could use one of the many 3rd party tools without paying for a Nintendo Switch Dev kit, but that can and will but them into legal trouble with Nintendo. Denuvo is already awful on the PC gaming scene, it often not just break games but breaks PCs. At least with the PC, a User can fix the issues.

I don't know, but I also don't want to be in a position to find out when it does go wrong. There already been badly made games in the past that would brick a PS4 or a Xbox One. With the PS4, Anthem will cause the console to reboot, sometimes to the Main Menu sometimes to a error screen and you had to rebuild their PS4's disk database. Here an article with known Denuvo PC issues https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Denuvo Issues include 1. Requires an online connection 2. Denuvo Anti-Tamper functions in a way that might impact performance In some instances the anti-tamper protection checks were confirmed to be a part of performance critical functions and had a noticeable impact on gameplay performance on some systems, as in Tekken 7 3. Causes excessive HDD/SSD reads/writes which degrades the lifespan of storage drives 4. Server outages will prevent renewals of the offline token for new and some returning players, thereby preventing play until the outage has been solved Edited August 25, 2022 by DarkSakul Volt and Sonichuman 1 1 Quote Link to comment
MillionX Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Yeah whoever invented Denuvo... I wouldn't mind seeing them get publicly beaten in the streets. If that was widespread then it would spell the end of any kind of enjoyable gaming experience for me. The forced online connectivity is a big deal to me... that is without question the worst shit ever to happen to video games....and when the day comes where it's all forced to connect to servers then I'm just done with the hobby, fuck that nonsense; let it crash and burn at that point.

It's know that Denuvo encrypts and deencrypts large amounts of data, and it requires a Internet connection to verify. What it never clear to the End User is what's being encrypteds and deencrypted, and for what reasons (just that your HDD is going to get trash in the processed). And What all that being sent encrypted from your computer, a mystery. All at the cost of the end user's OS and Drives. Bethesda with Doom Eternal tried to slip in Denuvo with a Update patch, there was a recond number of people uninstalling the game on Steam. Players were even threating to uninstall other Beth games as a form of protest, Beth in that same week 180 their decision and made a update to remove Denuvo.
