Hey at least I recall hearing that people in Uwe Boll films enjoyed their time on it in a fashion akin to a vacation where they can stop giving a shit and just have fun which is a contrasts to the stories of injuries and casualties on Anderson's sets if I recall well.

It reference, or sound like it does, an old schoolyard rhyme that was going “Chinese *slant eyelids upward*, Japanese *slant eyelid downward*, Dirty Knees *reach to touch knees*, look at these *reach to grasp chest as if they had breasts*” or something like that which was often used to mock Asian children. Plus if you

Honestly... kind of this for me as well?

Though I’m really tempted by Immortals yet it’s world kind of feel like... cluttered yet bare at the same time? I kind of contrast to BotW which is often considered “empty” by detractor but the wide-open plains of BotW are something that’s an appeal to me. Especially not just

Honestly I’m the same. And definitely same on re: “uncluttered” experience of BotW.

I’m tempted by Immortals, but honestly aspects of it feels... cluttered? It’s like... what succeeded with BotW for many people was the ways it “wasn’t” a traditional western open-world game despite similarities. It might be coming from

Tbh, I wonder if Square Enix isn’t already there. The western-styled games that seemed to focus more on “premium titles+live service” seem to have all been the ones that underperformed the most below what SE intended them to be.

Meanwhile, ultimately, the kind of prolonged income stream they’d get from a Live Service

And tbh the worst is that it really seem to have cost the company considering there’s mention it seem to have resulted in losses of about 67 millions???

Makes me wonder if it’s not a coincidence we’re seeing a new The World Ends With You being announced, with highly-stylicized visuals... that also look like, upon close

Considering we’re talking about claims of “67 millions losses”, I think we’re rather reaching the point where it’s not just a matter of “average game” but also “omg current development trends costs way too fucking much to afford failure”... now contrasts situations where you have the same publisher expecting

That depends. This is also the studio who, if I recall well, was surprised by stuff like Octopath Traveler and even Trials of Mana “selling better than they expected” meaning these “lesser” efforts had probably not only broke even but also brought more profits than expected, which...

... compared to this Avengers game

To a degree I wonder how much of the blame is Nintendo’s vs Koei Tecmo since if the execution seem to stand in opposition to everything about it’s presentation/BotW... it very much stands in line with every “fan service crossover spinoffs” Koei seem to spit out all the time with different franchises all the time from

Similar here except analytical brain is more like : “Holy shit these are PS2-grade graphics and YET THEY STILL LOOK GOOD” which reminds me how much I wished often for more AAA-publisher games striving for -stylicized- games rather than “whatever hype-ass top-of-the-line shader and lighting graphics tech can we force

It’s much more likely imo that come the 31st, the bundle would stop being sold but every titles would then become available as individual digital release.... including -then- a sudden apparition of Galaxies 2 as it’s own release rather than part of the previous bundle.

I’m pretty curious about Fire Emblem, which

I have to find interesting how they’re adding those features(however small) to a game that’s supposedly time-limited release. It makes me wonder if there’s some foundation to the people predicting that the collection’s games might get individually released once the 31st of March rolls in.

Also suddenly makes me think

Sadly my cynical ass do not believe that 2020 would be so gaceful as to grant us that mercy, sadly.

Assuming he’s not faking it(especially with just how fucking convenient the timing here is, and I mean... we already rode that rodeo with Bolsanero and Boris only to be fucking disappointed yet again), I expect 2020 is

Honestly it’s too fucking convenient for him to catch it NOW in a way that can be used to allow him to skip the next debate AND garner sympathies/crush criticisms with “why do you wish him ill” bullshit AND suddenly “recover” from it only to state “it really wasn’t bad and not working fucking closing the country over

I really wishes he could get consequences from it but then again the guy is sleazeball enough I wouldn’t put it above him to have faked the whole thing to potentially give himself an “out” from the next debate AND attempt to garner sympathies from his supporters or even outright suddenly “recover” at the end of his

And even then in Smash I weirdly feel the map builders are... somewhat limited because on a technical level it FEELS like they’d be able to do more?

Like, I’m kind of surprised there was never support for the like of custom “scrolling” levels and the like, even with the current basic assets?

With how many updates they

And Microsoft themselves probably know it, and probably stated such during whatever negotiations must have happened with Nintendo.

I think you underestimated just how much more crazy popular Minecraft has proven as a singular title than any single Halo or Conkers titles. And how much more likely Microsoft were to likely personally prefer having this character to represent their brand than either Master Chief or Conkers during negotiations with

The involvement of Pokecoins makes me feel it was probably Niantic trying to figure how to best monetize Pokemon Home themselves.

Wouldn’t be surprised if negotiating the deal may be part of what took so much time.

I wonder if the reasons Home isn’t even Go compatible yet is because of negotiations they had to do with Niantic over the later trying to find yet another way to monetize Pokemon Go.
