Maybe not looking like top tier final fantasy, but HOLY MOLY has square ever managed to pull an impressive 180 with this trailer. I’d completely written of this game as a trashy dmc clone (which was probably going to be very fun). Now I’m... kind of into it. It looks like a full-on reimagining of FF1 with big budget…

the “too many swordguys” argument imo is the most important point. Otherwise I think sora would be a little redundant. I know Sora has developed as his own character, but he originally started out as a sort-of “final fantasy oc” for the weird crossover that was KH1. His abilities reflect that. He has final fantasy…

The story’s been debunked, but I need you guys to understand: 4K takes a LOT of power to render. Nintendo absolutely will not do 4k resolution on a portable. it’s just not worth it.

ah god, trying so hard not to be a conspiracy guy about these reviews. Amazon, which owns twitch, and manipulates its brand image via bots on social media...

I’ll make my judgements when I see her in motion in cutscenes, because obviously a static model shot is going to look really unnatural.

still a weird thing to think about for me that everything with gamestop happened, right along with covid, the BLM protests, AND the Bernie campaign to boot. I realize I’m conflating 4 politically dissimilar events, but 2020 was seriously the year of “rich and powerful institutions lose their stranglehold on current…

It’s weird, because I was convinced that “it’s the same game every year with tweaks” was just something to take for granted with sports games. Except you can look at the Forza games and see that there is a model to release a game based on existing concepts every year while still keeping it fresh.

man I’m so tired of everyone making n64 controller jokes. It’s fine. It’s not great, but it’s fine. Yes I got blisters on my hands once - because of a mario party minigame that was going to rip people’s hands into shreds regardless of the stick.

I’ve spent SO much time on Melty Blood Act Cadenza. It’s easily my favourite fighting game, even if I acknowledge that it can sometimes be a little “anime-fighter-y”.

you can’t cage the Cage

wow all the cage hate. I for one am looking forward to the insane chaos that this game will be. Will luke get matrix powers? Will han solo be addicted to vr drugs? will leia remove her skin? George Lucas’ already stilted dialogue will sound even better through the filter of not-quite-right french people doing their…

Alan has a smartphone in the first game. Honestly, if you know a lot of outdoorsy people, they still have flashlights. It’s one thing to have a dinky little flashlight, but hiking-outdoorsy people still like their big heavy duty flashlights.

I HAVE to believe Fishbourne was at least asked about this. It seems crazy to write him out over this, seeing as this movie seems like a bit of a soft-reboot. Either way, hope he gets a cameo. It was a blast to see him and Keanu in John Wick 2.

no. and nobody asked for this either. This is 100% a sleazy pr move to try and trick people into thinking they care about sexual harassment instead of actually taking any meaningful accountability.

I remember watching an interview with the head of the Judgement localization team. He says at some point that he asked the voice actors to “leave their anime voice at home”. I really loved that game’s acting, and honestly I think english directors put too much stock in the “cartoon character” part of things. I know…

extreme democrat people are the people who insist on whatever message the party is pushing, and also they insist that any criticism of the party is hurting the country. I think the democratic party is filled with cynical actors (much like any political party), but not inherently cynical. In that sense, we should absolu…

I really have to wonder if the “bernie or bust” people would have closed that gap. Hillary, after all, won the popular vote. Realistically, it’s more an issue of republican gerrymandering over the decades. I also have a suspicion that 99.9% of those “never hillary” people probably begrudgingly voted for her in secret.…

wow just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse for bli- wait nevermind

I’m okay with a socialist owning a house because we live in a capitalist system and either way he’s gotta participate in it. I swear to god though if that guy buys a second house then he’s off to the fuckin gulag
