They’ve identified a core strength, and they’re committed to focusing on it.

Can we just move the story to the other side of planet?  new characters, new bugs?  I really barely know the lore.  I just remember slaying locust.

I was thinking this too, there are not many franchises that can change an entire mythology and it actually make sense

This. Brutalities are the solution. Although I don’t think they should happen for every final hit, I feel like that would cheapen them. Right now they’re quick and you don’t expect them, so they still have a bit of that “oh shit!” jump shock when they happen, and they still involve some skill so they feel good when…

Agree. As I played through Invasions, if I didn’t hit the Brutality and had to do a Fatality for the extra koin, I’d trigger it then look at my phone or get up for a drink or whatever pretty consistently.

Agree, I’d be ok if they got rid of Fatalities and resources in to Brutalities. Make a brutality for every final hit. If I finish somebody with a low punch to the shins, then have their knee break and the character crumble.   Have to tone down Fatal Blows so a simple leg break actually feels like it has impact.  

this site is becoming trash with all these ads, while trying to focus on the story I have 6 ahsoka ads and an Amazon ad on the right.

As tempting as this is, I would love for them to come up with a device that plays NES, SNES, and N64 cartridges, even if it is 3x the cost. Even if I could justify the cost of this, I’m not sure I could justify hooking this up to my TV when it only partially solves my retro game collection.

But I guess the one stashed on top of the Hateno Village Research Lab still had a purpose in the world?

Ket Shee is like Teedus. Everybody on the internet will “well actually” you about it in an instant, but everyone I’ve ever known in real life uses the “wrong” pronunciation.

Why? Don’t we have enough cloud based options for a suite of office related applications?

fyi, the ad you see nowadays is based on your view history nowadays...these media sites typically dont have relationships with the actual companies paying for ads...they have relationships with ad companies so don’t really have huge control over what is actually displayed to their viewers, where ads are typically…

It’s only a short matter of time before AI can do minor speaking roles. Even now, many of those crappy TikTok AI-generated voices are pretty damn close.

Thank you for saying the quite part out loud. Every time I see one of these lists I think to myself “yeah, these are great cities to live in as a white cis male”. It is a real shame but speaks to the place our country is in where if you want to live somewhere inclusive, you are going to pay through the nose. 

Once you get east of the mountains in Washinton and Oregon, the local politics are much closer to Montana than their home state. There are fairly routine attempts by small groups for those eastern halves of the state to secede so they can form a new R dominated state without Seattle or Portland. 

I will give you the framerate. Even today it’s not incredibly uncommon to see games that tie logic to framerate (RE2 Knife), and back then it was even more common. It can be a lot of work to undo that. The resolution thing is horseshit though. Sprites are not 3D,and Emulators have been running these games at 4K for…

I was really hoping this game would be about the first Mortal Kombat on Earth. At least that’s what the end of MK 11 seemed to be hinting at. Take away all the technology and continuity and have a cast of mostly new characters. This game looks to be going through the motions which isn’t too surprising but still…

Graphically, the Switch port is different game.  I’m not sure if lowering the PC settings could replicate it.  For example. Milena has a predator style split jaw in the PC version, but doesn’t in the Switch version.  Geometry is different.  

Chill human. Besides, I don’t think anyone is actually “into” Megan Fox these days, it’s not 2010, and zoomers don’t even know who she is. Her voice work is definitely below “mid”, it’s okay to criticize someone for doing something poorly, even if they are a woman, the world won’t explode, and people in your personal…

At least the N64 Paper Mario is playable on Switch with the N64 emulator. Would definitely benefit from an update, but it is at least accessible whereas TYD is really hard to play legitimately.
