Speaking of Gamestop...

An Entire GameStop Store Quits On Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Release Day

 

Quote

Many stores held midnight launches, and Cannaert said he heard from other customers that the Brighton location was one of them, with diehard fans able to get their copies of the game the night before release. It’s not clear if the staff was planning to quit the next day ahead of time, or the midnight launch was something that put them over the edge. A new employee at the Brighton location declined to comment about the situation, but told Kotaku that the store eventually re-opened on Tears of the Kingdom launch day within three hours of the resignations.

I saw a rumor come over my screen that Amazon may have goofed and revealed 2 guest fighter for MK and I didn't really pay much attention to it...until this tweet came across my feed.

Does it necessarily mean anything?  No it doesn't...but it's just really coincidental that this was put up considering that Homelander was one of the characters leaked.

 

Supposedly they revealed the DLC chars

 

Also, supposedly, this is the list of games to be announced on the Sony event

So no Ape Escape?

 

 

Spoiler

That is a solid line up though. I can see a new Twisted Metal coming with the show they're doing.

New Twisted Metal? Yes please! I'm bummed there aren't more, ya know, MORTAL KOMBAT characters in that dlc pack, but if Kano is in the base roster, then all my mains are in the game so far.

Man, aside from FF7 Rebirth and Spider-Man 2 there’s nothing on that list that even remotely interests me

Did you not like/play GoTsu?

Had it but never got around to playing it so I sold it. Parting with it didn’t really bother me as I had a lot of other games I wanted to play more.

Ghost of Tsushima?

[HD-Man]

Not sute if I trust Konami remaking Snake Eater without Kojima involved, cautiously optimistic (would rather they remake the first two original MG games tho)

 

Hyped for alot of stuff on that list tho, especially the new Spiderman and GoTsu

Yea, you know it bugs me that a game that honestly just fine the way it is is being remade instead of bringing the two games thay are way left behind up to par. Remaking Metal Gear 1 even gives them enough wiggle room to find their footing and place as developers of MG titles but no go right for the Goat immedietly...

Pretty fun game.  Had it a couple/few years  but never tried it.   Its like Darktide but its [offline] single player.

[Chadouken]

So there's going to be a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima? 👀

it's going to be MW2 lobbies all over again!

Fire Temple in TotK is one of the worst Zelda levels I've ever played.  Oh my god how I was happy when I finished that chucklefuck of a level.

[MillionX]

So Luke here took another look at Fallout 76 as it is now...

It does indeed surprise me that there's still people out there playing this mess.

 

Also, this one still breaks my heart though.  I'm not sure anyone in the fanbase actually wanted a VtM "battle royale"... especially as Bloodlines 2 continues to sit forever in development hell with near zero chances of being finished now.

Man...I really liked it...I think the Water Temples probably the weakest for me.

Spoiler

Lead up to it was great but the Temple itself is just kinda nothing...

Fire Temple has so many solutions to all its switches, I really enjoyed fucking around in there. If you make a little fan bike with the build supplies that place is free roam.

Super Mario Bros. movie is now the 2nd highest grossing animated film of all time domestically

 

Tears of the Kingdom was done back in Spring 2023, Game was delayed for a year for polish and to make sure all the physics worked properly

GOD DAMN...EA, Activision, and Bethesda would have a fucking heart attack if someone in their ranks told them they'd like a year to polish a game lol.

This is the first playable beta of this game.  Runs real bad but once it gets some optimization it might be pretty good.  Its suppose to be a top-down type game but at some point the Dev added the ability to shift the camera to a third person view.  That's the only view there is in the demo.  I asked about it and he said it needs more work but its still going to be in there (the top-down view).

 

 

 

I played more TLoU PC Edition last night.  Got all sad cause that broad died.  Got my first graphical glitch though...I guess thats a thing.  lol

 

Couldn't see the bad guys though.

I have a soft spot for those Tiger games even though looking back they're not the best. Still, they're better than, say, those football games where the "players" were just dashes of light. It's honest to God amazing how far games have come in just 40 years.

Arcane Season 2 not coming this year

Also want to say while not directly related to VG, DND is very VG adjacent.  DND Honor Among Thieves is streaming on  Paramount + if you happen to have it.   I found the movie to be extremely fun and funny so I give it a recommend.

Nintendo has always cared about quality, American Companies like EA/Activision only care about quantity.

Super Mario Bros. movie has overtaken Incredibles 2

It's either the 3rd biggest animated movie of all time or the 4th...depending on how you view the Lion King remake.

People be busy with Zelda but I've been playing these:

 

 

 

 

All pretty unique and incredible in their own way.

I remember a lot of people being upset about Jedi Survivor having fast travel. That it might ruin the sense of exploration or kill the drive to explore. 
 

I can confidently say it doesn’t. Between all the natural short cuts you discover and traversal means you have on every planet you next to never use them. 
 

Imo they work very similar to BotW’s fast travel system but just on a planet by planet basis. You also get the same feeling of fulfillment when you activate a new fast travel location (which are the meditation circles you come across amongst the planet you’re currently on)

Absolutely hate, how there is even a debate that the Lion King remake isn't a animated film.

 

On the more somber news, I am sadden Ashley has to go through that. Hope the restraining order and those around her keep further problems from arising.

[Hecatom]

I really hope there’s something worth giving a shit about during PlayStations State of Play tomorrow. It’s over an hour. There’s gotta be worth something for me that’s worth getting hype about.
 

This generation hasn’t really been that great so far for Sony, imo.

Fast travel being added to Jedi Survivor was something everyone wanted after playing the first game!

Speaking of, from my playthrough of it last month.
Rancor dropped a 4-0 lead on me.
