I have no issues on my phone or PC, but it's possible devices with less RAM are choking on it. 

 

The site does not load all the videos at once, so it shouldn't be an issue -- however in the future I will be asking @Sonichumanand others to post text links instead of embedding a ton of videos.

 

One vid here or there are fine but maybe there's no need to have a post with like 10 videos in it.

I liked the Ghost Trick line at the end about only speaking to him in Japanese almost more then anything they did in the Capcom direct.

 

It wasn't terrible but they didn't announce much and that line plus the delivery were great.

I've been playing only on PC pretty much since PS3 was nearing its end.  I never got a ps4 or ps5 or any other console for that matter.  I did think they were all capable of running games at 1080p 60fps.  Its kinda sad to know that that's not the case.  Every game I've played for the last 15+ years has run at those settings.  I never got a monitor with a higher resolution cause, well, tv's are expensive and I dont like spending money on something when what I have works just fine.  lol

 

Also, someone said how if they wanted to fiddle with settings and try different ones out then they'd play on PC.  Is that what you think playing on PC is?  Testing out different settings and such?  Nah, its setting the game to max and playing it.  Only fuck with the settings if setting them to max fucks up the game.  🤣

Text links will be bit longer but if it's still killing people's phones then I'll do 5-6 out of spoiler with 10 in spoiler max.  Anything higher than that and I'll try to resort to text links though it will be longer to post.

Goddam, took me probably 2 hours all around by I finally beat that Parade Puppet boss in Lies of P. Holy shit, is this what Souls fans go through? Fuck, i dont know if Im mentally prepared for a full game 🤣

If you need a reminder who is under Embracer at the moment, THQ Nordic, Plaion, Saber Interactive, Gearbox, Middle-earth Enterprises, Dark Horse Media, Coffee Stain, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montreal, Asmodee, Amplifier, Deep Silver, and many others

 

Despite restructuring and closing, Embracer is trying to look forward in making Lord of the Rings its biggest IP

Matt Booty says that the Redfall Team should have been better prepared to be First Party

https://www.ign.com/articles/xbox-game-studios-head-matt-booty-redfall

 

Reading the article for full context, it sounds like he's saying that the quality standard needs to be higher and they didn't need to think like a 3rd party and just ship the game and move on to the next one.

Btw anyone else playing the FF16 demo? It's definitely the first rated T/R in the final fantasy universe and I'm all for it. The battle system is so freaking good; can't wait for the official release!

The development staff for FF16 were required to watch the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones.  They have straight up said they are trying to make something that is like GoT.

Honestly spoiler doesn't help. The page will still load the video. The best thing it does is not stretch the page but the performance still takes a hit

Unless the consensus by most is that I shouldn't bother with putting the vids in spoilers moving forward, I'll keep putting them in.  I would prefer personally not putting them in the spoiler for a variety of reasons but I do remember that someone did complain about the posts with too much but this format moving forward won't have too many embedded in one post.  So what do people think, continue with spoilers or no?

Vaati needs to stop. He's still trying to force souls onto armored core 6. The guy is seriously trying to contribute boss patterns to souls.

So there's some shit going on within the Persona fandom for different reasons

I've written about Atlus in the past but for those who missed it Atlus was the first Japanese company I blacklisted due to being notoriously anti Japanese & Pro Censorship that can be traced back to the 90s. So it's absolutely no surprise to me Atlus would rehire Leonoudakis

 

 

https://twitter.com/Mondblut1984/status/1668248314062446594

 

Didn't take long after the P3R and Metaphor Re Fantazio reveal for the woke crowd to go after game director Hashino again. The QRTs are borderline insane. You would think Hashino said something outrageous, but all he said was that all the female characters should be cute. LMAO

Wanting cute girls means misogyny? These people are unhinged

Wow I so fucking don't care about the localizers drama. Not one single fuck. 

[Wellman]

If interpretation of language was easy we wouldn't have a lot of and bad examples of it.  Unless it is terrible or completely wrong all the bitching needs to chill.

[Sonichuman]

Kinda weird that people are going off about women in the game being "cute"...I mean there's a wide berth to that and it doesn't necessarily mean that every woman in the game will be uwu.  You can be cute and something else...it doesn't have to be mutually exclusive.

Well, I will have to try this out with Druid before they nerf it (because that's the damn rule with some companies these days---if it's strong and too much fun they have to "fix" that asap.)

If you're playing SFVI then I suggest that MS should pick a BH room where people can just hang out and join up in games.  There's plenty to choose from.  What do people think of 0382 being the hub for MS?
