Why does this sound like they're going to release their games on other platforms they're going to gimp them in someway?

Because they are. Full stop. 
 

to be fair, It’s no different than the shit Nintendo or Sony does with certain 3rd parties. Just this time M$ owns the studios that will do the gimping

As for Trish...i guess? Like I dunno man what's the standard here? If you saw her in real life I seriously doubt you would call her ugly for even a second, and if we are comparing her to 4, she looks like a plastic Barbie doll with helium balloons for a chest. She's attractive in that fake shonen exagerated sort of way. Lady is the same, she looks cool and "attractive" but at the same time she looks like an action figure and her tits bounce like they defy gravity. 

 

Like I don't think Trish looks ugly. She looks realistic. It hits different. 

Trish's face model is pretty in real life. Trish herself in the game looks like an old hag trying to do a cosplay wearing a corset that wasn't made for saggy tits

By best they mean "Only ones play tested."

You mother fuckers need to get the hell off the internet, your standards seem to be all kinds of fucked up.

 

Maybe Zat is right about all the porn you guys consume.

heh, sheeeittttt, I got into some GEARS 5 Horde mode last night...had to go for that achievement for getting Lizzie Carmine, Cole or other newer characters to level 15 since I was already at level 14 with Liz.... mainly because I suspect that achievement might no longer be a thing since they're separating characters from class roles.

 

man, this character/role is still so much fun... once Operation 5 is out (sometime today, actually), it's the "Pilot" class-role....oh yes, in some ways the Silverback is even more ridiculous than it was back in part 3.  I'd say the only thing really balancing it off is the fact that it's an "Ultimate" so there's a time-limit and cooldown.  If you level up the perks, the damage output when you bring out Silverback is just obscene.  I have that skill card where the mulcher attachment I have on it also does bleeding damage.  Boss healthbars get absolutely melted FAST.... one of the bosses last night was the "Kestrel" attack chopper... I brought out the Silverback and demolished that shit easyyyy.  In no time I could see something like 85 to 90% of its healthbar was red and then just gone. You can also have a Cryo gun as an option for the other SB arm...which makes it a strong counter for the Matriarch.

For what it's worth I'm not a fan of Trish's DMC4 design either, she looks fucking ridiculous in that game. Lady also got a boob job for no reason but other than that she had a cool costume

 

DMC1 Trish remains best to this day despite having the least polygons

Seriously. The funniest shit to me has always been a bunch of nerds on SRK acting like they'd pass on supermodels. Give me a break dude. If a lady that looked like Trish came into PVL's life I'm sure he'd be the first dude to get cleaned out. 🤣

We really only just got to the point in recent years where characters can look nice without the uncanny valley fucking it up or having to go for a more manga/anime/cartoon styles of character design.

 

And IMO most of the Devil May Cry characters are grimey looking. 

Its a Grimey job but someones gotta do it.

Capcom leak huh..so...

 

is SF6 real?

Whens mahvel?

How are Darkstalkers doing?

Will there be a Dead Rising 5 or Lost Planet 4?

Will we hear about that Residen Evil 4 remake soon?

Are they remaking DMC1 to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary next year?

MegaMan 12 anyone?

 

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

Yes. 

Never. Series is dead. 

Same as above. 

Sames as number 3.

After RE8 probably. 

Better make a new game. 

Probably, 11 was asuccess, i would prefer X though.

Clearly you are unaware how deep my obsession goes 

We can go into the discussion about how obsession with playing something, in this case, something that which has a competitive setting doesn’t mean you’re good at it but I’d rather not. 
 

it was just me clearly poking fun. No point in getting all Calvin Klein on me

GEARS 5... Operation 5 update...

 

Well, right off top I notice something that was quite disappointing--- you still cannot play as a "DeeBee" character.  Since they were opening it up and making characters just "skins" now, separate from roles, I assumed this included the Deebees... that was a downer, man.  This would've finally been a way to be a robot that's not Jack....the only hope since they seem intent on having T-800 *only* be classified as one of the "bad guys" and thus not playable in Horde 😞 

 

It was cool to play as characters I couldn't before though---first one I picked was Gary Carmine; I've been a fan of that character since part 4 just for that casual outfit and the cool hat and mask:

https://gearsofwar.fandom.com/wiki/Gary_Carmine

he also has a good funny laughing emote I can't get enough of....it's tough to resist the temptation to spam that.... Later, I played as the UIR soldier with the ninja look...that would be a good look for the "Infiltrator" role (*formerly Kait Diaz/Scout)...

 

speaking of that, sadly they nerfed it a bit.  At first I thought the bleed damage was bugged....after the session, I noticed the text on the skill card changed... now the bleed effect only happens if you are within 5 m when you hit with the shotgun.

GEARS...

Interesting... one bonus they gave "Infiltrator" though--- now if you fire a weapon while invisible there is a 10x multiplier on damage for that shot.... this + the already insane shotgun bonus damage... + bleed damage if you were within that new 5m range will keep the class/role as one of my favorite powerhouses in the game.

 

Another change people have noticed that's not going over well though--- apparently Jack cannot heal people through walls anymore... on one hand yeah that was kinda cheap in the first place, but DAMN that is another serious nerf there....

 

Pilot, formerly known as Liz is still pretty damn insane since you have the option of a damage boosting perk and one that reduces ultimate cooldown...and the Silverback ultimate is still a monster.  Ha, you hop in that thing and most bosses don't really stand a chance against all that.... well, on high difficulties of course, things like Snatcher and Swarmak are still quite dangerous.  I was merely on either "Advanced" or "Intermediate" for a session last night, and a Snatcher seemed to blow up my SB super-fast...it was like within 2, maybe 3 seconds. 😄

 

...there's always been a love/hate opinion about that one particular creature... the Snatcher is SO ridiculous, man... I'd say it's easily one of the top most dangerous things in the whole series.  It's one of those "game-changer" enemies that should always be taken seriously unless you're playing on an easy difficulty.

 

Other fans are posting their findings here, on the official forums I noticed.... wow, and the changes to Jack are even worse than I thought...

PS5 sold 118,085 units in first four days in Japan; Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S sold 20,534 units in first six days

 

 

PlayStation 5 sold 118,085 units in its first four days in Japan (November 12 to 15), and Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S sold 20,534 units in its first six days (November 10 to 15), according to newly published Famitsu numbers.

 

Here is how PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series’ initial sales compare to those of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, again according to Famitsu numbers:

  • PlayStation 4 – 322,083 sold in first two days (February 22, 2014 to February 23)
  • Xbox One – 23,562 sold in first four days (September 4, 2014 to September 7)

Famitsu noted that while PlayStation 4 sales may seem high compared to PlayStation 5, this is because it had a later release in the country (November 2013 in North America and Europe, February 2014 in Japan), allowing Sony Interactive Entertainment to secure a higher number of consoles for sale in Japan.

 

Here are PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360’s initial sales numbers for further reference:

  • PlayStation 3 – 88,443 sold in first two days (November 11, 2006 to November 12)
  • Xbox 360 – 62,135 sold in first two days (December 10, 2005 to December 11)

On the software side, Marvels’ Spider-Man: Miles Morales was the top-selling PlayStation 5 game at 18,640 units sold, followed by Demon’s Souls at 18,607 units. As for Xbox Series, most games are digital-only in Japan.

Looks like reviews for Hyrule Warriors AoC are starting to come out.

Everyone is mad at GameSpot for giving it a 6/10 but no one realizes that generally the average score everyone gives Musou’s. Lol

 

The fact it’s integrated with Zelda while being the biggest sell is also likely the biggest reason it’s getting near universal praise.
 

Though that’s not me saying it’s going to be a bad game or another generic musou game at its core. The 3rd party Musou Titles are rarely that. Not to mention outside of frame rate issue the demo was universally loved by those who played. 
 

I personally LOVED the demo because it immediately showed it wasn’t going to be a generic Musou. It was a very engaging demo, imo. I’m beyond hype to play it. I just have to wait until after my birthday to see if I have to buy my own copy or not as my birthday is on Sunday.

This year is flying by for me. It felt like the last game awards was a few months ago.

 

 

Surprised but not disappointed to see Hades in the running for Game of the Year.

Animal Crossing eh?  I can see that considering this year but I don't expect it to win.  Personally would want either FF7R or GoTsu to take it but I have a feeling LoU2 may take it unless the amount of people who dislike Abby that much that come out in force to vote against that game lol.

I picked up Demon's Souls today.  Now i gotta decide if I want to start that or play through Miles and Spider-Man first.  I just finished Rise of Tomb Raider last night so I'm clear to start a new game.

 

I also have Ghost of Tsushima, which I beat a few months ago.  I want to do a lethal run at 4k/60, and I want to check out the multiplayer stuff.

 

And I want to get into the new Destiny expansion, too, but I might wait until the 4k/60 patch in December.

 

Too many games, not enough time.

Same. As you know I was very nervous about getting this game because I dont like Musous, but I played the Demo and found it to be quite fun and entertaining. Impa is great fun. I am pretty hype about it now and a decent amount of my worries have drifted away.

I find humorous how people were saying that japanese gamers were done with Sony and the Xbox brand was stealing Sony's thunder, lmao.

PS has certainly lost a lot of its marketshare to nintendo and their imbecilic censorship bias against japanese games, that is for sure, but you have to be a loon to think it wouldnt do well
