-PVL93- Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Ok I REALLY feel like asking this question, to those of you living in the US How much longer will the politicians keep blaming *everything* and *anything* except for the actual root cause of the problem that creates the shootings in the first place? How many more dozens. hundreds of innocent people need to perish in gunfire across various mass gatherings (school classes or otherwise) before th government cracks on this shit down?

Our politicians will never crack down on it. Long story short, demos are too chickenshit to enact anything that will lead to real change and the organizations that enable this shit to happen literally fund the opposing party so they won't dare bite the hand that feeds. With the latest mass shooting, a person like the prep is what the average mainstream republican is it could be seen as attacking their base. This is not even getting into all the systemic issues that causes incidents like this to occur. Jurassic, DarkSakul, RSG3 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment

Faltimar the Dark Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I'm a bit disappointed to find out that the game V Rising is an always online game. I'll still get it cause it looks real cool. The devs said they're looking into offline mode but who knows if/when that ill actually happen. Furi DLC released today. Onnamusha its called. Gonna check that out later. This game makes me think of Brave Fencer...its ok. I dont remember who it was that was talking about Salt and Sacrifice but they've pretty much been updating the game daily and the things they're changing are the things he was complaining about. I've only played it a bit so far, not enough to really encounter the shit he talked about. Its really sad though that games that aren't EA games are still doing shit like EA games. You know, pushing updates and hot-fixes all the time. I guess its just a normal thing now...but I dont like it. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

Politics are so fucked over here that we have people in power who are actively convincing people to act and vote against their own self interests. The lines are so divided at this point that attempting to come to a medium on any side on any issue runs the chance of whatever side of the issue that you're on turning on you for daring to think outside of what your base thinks on top of the fact that your constituents on both sides will potentially vote you out even regardless of on what you think is right. Then you have the corporation that are in the pockets of politicians that are also helping to make people vote against their own self interests. Shit is fucked on so many different sides and is in ROOT DEEP. It's fully ingrained. The moment anyone tries to make a step to fix this shit or make it less corrupt it eventually just gets suffocated and dies a slow death or people just out right kill it despite it clearly being a better option for everyone involved. It's frustrating as fuck watching our government spin and churn and there's no better example of this shit than the gun situation. Personally not a gun person, never held one, don't really want one, and not interested in shooting one irl but its a 2nd amendment right I fully believe people who have been proven to be responsible enough and have gone through the necessary checks should be allowed to have one. But we can't even bring both sides to to the table on what is clearly a fucking problem in this country to even TALK about a solution because if someone so much and talks about gun control (NOT TALKING ABOUT TAKING AWAY PEOPLE'S GUNS...JUST BETTER REGULATION) the other side that's backed by the NRA immediately riles up its base to tell them they they're trying to take guns away from them. It's same churn and the same spin every time without fail. You can show them as many graphs or substantial evidence that barely any other country has this problem and it immediately gets ignored. So god damn aggravating! Darc_Requiem and RSG3 2 Quote Link to comment
RSG3 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 (edited) And it's like that for basically every single issue. Workers rights? "COMMUNISM!!" Universal Healthcare? "SOCIALISM!!!" Police Reform? "BLUE LIVES MATTER!" Mass Shootings triggered by propaganda? "VIOLENT VIDEOGAMES!!!!!" Everything in this country has been turned into a polarizing political issue where you're either with us or against us, no inbetween, and no other options. Both sides of the isle do it.

Hecatom Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I am still laughing at how the vaccination became a political thing, where during the Trump administration, there were people among those who favored him who were all about supporting the vaccine to change their tune once it was a democrat in the house, and the same for those who opposed him that were against the vaccine only to change their tune once Trump was out, it wasn't that there was new info or anything, is just that the person in power is of their liking or not.

iStu X Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 (edited) I’m listening to Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti’s Last of the Nintendogs (This is more-or-less in order of how they discussed everything) * Silent Hill 2 Remake from Blooper IS real. Grubb says don’t worry about major changes. Konami has given the team very specific specifications in what they want with the remake. Think Blue Point handling a lot of the Playststion remakes. * Four more Silent Hill games are in the works. Grubb expects the core title being made (Silent Hill 5) to be PS5 exclusive. He didn’t say if it would be a timed exclusive or a permanent exclusive. * He also mentions that Annapura is in the talks with Konami on one of the four another Silent Hill titles. * Neither Jeff or Mike have heard anything concrete but don’t be surprised if something Metal Gear gets announced this year. * Nothing confirmed but they’ve both heard that Sony will likely do a State of Play in early-to-mid June. If it does neither of them have any idea what will be talked about. * Another game journalist, Takeshi recently asked Reggie about F-Zero and if Nintendo has given up on the IP. Reggie in a very business was said “No, Nintendo is always working on new ways to innovate on old and new IP’s. But during my time they couldn’t come up with anything the company could agree on”. Jeff and Mike both say it’s a bullshit response. Just make it stylized, have good game feel, and play like an F-Zero and fans would be happy. * Mentions if Nintendo does a June “E3” type direct that it will likely be a lot of the games they’ve been holding in their back pocket like Pikmin 4, Wind Waker/Twilight Princess HD, Metroid Prime 4, Metroid Prime remake, Advanced Wars, etc along with titles already announced like Splat 3 and XBC3. He says it would be a mistake if Nintendo used it to announced things of 2023 releases since this year is lacking major releases due to delays from Sony and M$. * Jeff and Mike both agree the new PS+ tiering is worth it as games will be added much more frequently than GamePass. They also both agreed that the reason Sony doesn’t want to release PlayStation exclusives Day 1 like GamePass is due to their games actually sell big numbers unlike Microsoft’s. * Jeff says not to worry about Mario Strikers Battle League. It’s going to get a lot of support, the online is great and he’s loved what he’s played. (This makes me happy) * Jeff and Mike said the reason Nintendo is slow dripping N64 onto NSO is purely down to hubris. They (Nindy) feel the N64 is more significant than it really is. They did also mention that there’s still a lot of games coming down the pipeline for all the NSO virtual console services. * Jeff and Mike both agree that Nintendo will eventually release Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch. Likely after XBC3. * Jeff and Mike both agree that DS would be too hard of a system to convert into the switch for NSO. Jeff runs a DS emulator on his steam deck and it’s extremely hit miss depending on the title. So he doesn’t see Nintendo having the patience to figure it out. * During their Q&A about more systems coming to NSO they said GameCube likely will not happen as Nintendo knows they can remake more-or-less any of the first party titles and they will sell good numbers. * During the same Q&A they said if there is new consoles announced for NSO they’re not sure what it could be but they’ve heard and are speculating the same as everyone else: Gameboy Color/Gameboy Advanced Edited May 18, 2022 by iStu X Sonichuman, Hecatom, -PVL93- and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Everyone wants to call BS on this but Nintendo ( and probably more because of you know who) have been saying this for awhile probably since the Wii about that franchise. Most F-Zero fans would be completely fine with GX/AX upressed with online support but Nintendo isn't going to do that for better or worse. The only way I a new F-Zero game happening right now if Ninty can't come up with a hook or the spin they want is if someone else like a 3rd party goes to them and wows them with their own demo/idea for a new entry which is rare because certain things have to align (Mercurysteam's work on Castlevania on the 3DS leading to them further proving themselves through Samus Returns and eventually Dread or a major 3rd party that has a good relationship with them like Sega, Ubisoft, or Namco putting their foot forward in a joint effort). I mean it would be nice if Sega jumped in to dev another one but Amusement Vision got transformed into Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio and I can't think of any other racing dev that I'd be immediately ok with the franchise aside from maybe Criterion but that involves the Criterion of now aaand also having EA's mitts involved which immediately makes me want to gag just thinking about it.

J-ride Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I finished Rogue Legacy 2. The last 3 bosses really gave me a ton of grief. I honestly think Estuary Irad was the hardest boss in the game: I beat the game with a magic user and I focused on DOT and running away. I'm about halfway through NG+ and it's already gotten pretty ridiculous. I'm level 177 and I am regularly coming running into level 255 enemies. This is just NG+1, so I'm not sure how much further I am going to get. 😅 RSG3 and Faltimar the Dark 2 Quote Link to comment

I was using a moonveil katana build for the game, but I ended up re-specing and beating the last boss with the godskin peeler's ash of war. Now back to the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.

Good games have a much longer sales tail due to not being tied entirely to print runs. This is very true, and is what happened for Horizon 1 but its still really dumb of Sony to do. Sony got 1 week of buzz for the games release and then all conversation for the game fell off a cliff when Elden Ring dropped, which is also exactly what happened for Horizon 1. How many sales did they end up losing out on because people have moved on mostly. Yea it will steadly and slowly kick up to a good sales number, but that's not really a good look for Gorilla, and we dont know if those are the people who would have purchased later anyway, like how many sales did they fail to cap because the games hype was 1 week long. Elden Ring over here has climbed over 13 million in two months. Not saying Horizon would do those exact numbers but i cant help but wonder if they are losing 1 or 2 mill because most people just move on to the next big thing. You are right tho, its not a death scentence anymore which is a good thing., Quote Link to comment

I think that with HZD, they underestimated the appeal that the game would had, it seemed that they more or less tossed it to die, lol. Although, considering that it was launched at a time where it was probable that there wouldn't be enough Switches to meet the demand, it wasn't really as bad as it seemed, at least, is the impression I get. With HFW, it was the opposite, they overestimated the interest, all while underestimating the interest on Elden Ring. Some people argue that Elden Ring was unexpected, so it was reasonable, but FromSoft games have been getting bigger and bigger with each release. Plus there was also the release of Dying Light 2, which in its 1st month sold like 5 million copies. That also surely hurt HFW in some way as well, imo. Since while it wasn't as big as Elden Ring, it was also a game that was expected by a lot of people. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

I would agree with that if not because they moved their HQ to California, their CEO is not Japanese, they closed all their Japanese studios and have been more or less antagonizing Japanese devs by doing dumb changes to their processes by forcing the certification to be only in english even in Japan, censor Japanese games, etc, etc. The current sentiment in japan is that Sony is no longer a Japanese company.

I still wish it was a more broad range of playable characters here. There's 13 clans and various factions, bloodlines (a subcategory of the clans), etc... so there's always a lot any developer could put into any VTM game in terms of what's playable.
