It probably doesn’t help that they raised the consumption tax while increasing giveaways to the wealthy who are just pocketing everything.

Apple makes products marketed toward the people who don’t have to cut back because they’re on the top of a growing class divide. Video games are largely a working and lower middle class hobby. Smartphones are also pretty vital to being able to get by in the world these days, they’re not really a luxury anymore.

For a second, I thought he was gonna hop forward without his legs, like it was planned and made to do this.

after this happens, the opponent should attempt to walk away only to be gutted from behind. counter fatality >>

Great style, great series :D!

She even recreated Snake’s “I’m a statue!” moment from Guns of the Patriots.

Ah! Thank you! I knew it was reminding me of something very specific but couldn’t remember that it was BoF. The sad part is I was playing through it again not too long ago

Then perhaps all we can hope for is that the animation studios gain a conscience and start treating their animators like valued employees.

So, as the old saying goes, ‘suffer for your art’.

That’s the big thing. Companies seem baffled at the idea of making games with “a smaller budget”. EVERYTHING to them must be a big, huge, triple-A, 5-million-selling blockbuster... or it’s not worth doing.

Time for a Maximum Overdrive mod!

Millions of people are going to these theme parks every year, that’s who can afford it. 7.1 milion people went to Universal Studios in 2013. It’s probably up in 2014 because of their new Harry Potter world.

Well considering they had a team doing Dark Souls 2 while they were working on Bloodborne, it would be nice if they tried something else with one of those teams.

As cool as this is, I think the paint job is way too detailed for mass produced action figures. I suppose if it was simplified with just the more distinct lines and screentone it could work, but even then... Most toy manufacturers can barely get a standard paint job right.

Depends on where you’re posting but the rules are there for a reason. Without them folks will shitpost all the time when people are having discussions and thread derails will go nuts.

New threads are only really accepted if the content is worthwhile. That’s the general rule on most of the boards on SA.

For the Games…

Honestly, I think that’s why Bloodborne worked so well. The same principle with game design, yet it still plays very differently to the Souls games, and has a completely unique atmosphere. Whilst playing I kept thinking “THIS is survival horror! All the complaints we hear about how the genre is dead, and how Resident…

That’s not the end of the story though because after Universal sued Nintendo for copyright infringement, Nintendo then soon counter-sued Universal for copyright infringement on the King Kong game which Universal licensed Tiger to make. The verdict was that King Kong was free domain property and because of that,…

Yes ago my kid had the best time at Tokyo airport. he found the Nintendo room.

Supposedly one of the reasons Disney started doing new Mickey Mouse cartoons was because a survey of young children showed that more kids recognized Mario than Mickey.

It could be a test! If this is a temporary deal, Nintendo are reaching out to Theme Park masters to design some ride concepts, waiting to see what works, and could then fold the most successful elements into their own future park. Much better idea than jumping straight into a business they have no experience with.
