  • So, thoughts on the new DMC netflix show? personally I like it, but I'm not a huge DMC fan so it was practically made for someone like me, but for you more hardcore DMC'ers, whats the verdict?

    So basically this show is to DMC fans what the Tomb raider Netflix series was to TR fans; i.e if you have no skin in the game when it comes to property, you'll probably like the show, but if you're a core fan who's played all the games you may find the new show very irksome, which I certainly did for Netflix TR, but less so for Netflix DMC

    Two friends that I play FF14 with whom never touched DMC in their life, gave the show a shot and gave it a 9/10. Was extremely surprised from the outcome and thought that was too high personally, but then it makes sense if they know literally nothing about it and the action is pretty good-decent.

    Some people including myself, had pretty low expectations of DMC because it's Adi's own version of it (which he himself confirmed that it was HIS DMC of a what if/his take on DMC), so I immediately knew not to take it serious on a severe level lol.
    Team ZeroEscape releasing a new Somnium files game in 2025? hell yes! dunno how I feel about Date and Aiba being the leads again, considering they were supposed to be the old retired protags that made way for the new school protags, but w/e, it's a new Somnium files game and im hype
    Recently replayed the original Catherine game (not Full Body), and holy cow they really try to make Katherine look like she's some unreasonable bitch when in reality she's just a woman with a pregnancy scare who wants her 31-year old man child of a boyfriend to step up for once in his life

    if i recall Full Body does a much better job of portraying her beyond the frumpy girlfriend stereotype but dam, it was quite the experience to go back and see how it all started

    @Yuffie Fullbody has a whole new love interest for Vincent to pursue, it has new endings for everyone, several story changes, and a bunch of new game modes for single player and multiplayer
    it is a rough time to be a Nintendo CC; these ppl have to sit in front their audiences with a pained smile and tell them "y'see, Nintendo had no choice but to make the new Switch $500, they worked reeeeally hard on this console and us as loyal Nintendo fans should reward them with our wallets!" mf plz

    I mean, we're all dunking on Nintendo now, but when the PS6 and the NextBox get released and they're both $1000 each, we wont be caught off guard, hell we might even look back at the Switch 2 and be all "y'know a $500 console doesn't sound so bad!"

    PS5 Pro is already $1000+, definitely in Canada at least.

    But yeah, as much as I hate the higher price of Switch 2 (can't get it on launch), I do have to wonder about how everyone was crying for Nintendo to finally boost their power sufficiently. People laughed at me when I suggested Switch 2 might have 4K output. Now it does, but power comes at a cost. No more power complaints, now cost complaints instead, lol.

    bro I completely forgot that the PS5 Pro was even a thing lol
    when old Souls fans see Duskbloods "neat, a multiplayer focused Fromsot game"

    when new Souls fans see Duskbloods "Non-consensual multiplayer in my single player game???UNACCEPTABLE!"

    Think Nintendo's net structure wasn't always the greatest. I remember HungryBox a while back mentioned that hosting Smash Ult online tournaments was always a hassle with not only wifi but also just flat out random disconnects even with a ethernet adapter that Nintendo never bothered to address with games.

    It was somewhat equivalent to PSN's mid-worse days of netplay (least what I heard). So combine that with FromSoft's net might be a rough recipe for a consistent game.

    Not sure how much Nintendo would improve on that + Duskblood won't be for another year so there's that I guess.

    If they're building this game from ground up and designing it primarily for pvp i'd LIKE to believe that Fromsoft wouldn't use that same old spaghetti netcode they've been rocking since freaking DS1, but anything is possible these days

    Aa for Nintendo fingers crossed that the Switch 2's online infrastructure is more stable than a macaroni tower
    you know what 3D fighter sub genre needs to come back? Boxing games, and im not talking about that realistic sport sim nonsense they shove down our throats, im talking 'bout something arcade-like, unfiltered, and fun, like the Ready 2 Rumble games, i would kill for a modern version

    Yeah the tech demo collection for Switch 2 looks so crappy and you even have to pay to download it. Crazy to think Wii Sports was so much better in showing off the console tech while being fun and was also free with every Wii.

    Switch 2 Sports should have been a no-brainer.

    And Switch 2 comes with an ethernet port, so no excuse for great online matches.

    Btw there's Fist of the North Star and Hatsune Miku boxing for the Switch, lol.

    You could've been playing ARMS, my guy!

    (I'm still salty that Twintelle didn't make Smash Ultimate.)
    With Emma Frost, Marvel Rivals has released their 4th character who is a hot blonde chick wearing a white and blue jumpsuit (although hers is more of a leotard), not that i'm complaining, she looks hot as hell, I just hope this isn't gonna be a pattern in the long term
    $80+ for physical Switch 2 games? Oof that hurts, the only silver lining is that Nintendo MOSTLY doesn't do post release DLC and battle passes so you'll pay for the game once and be done with it, but still...
    Evanescence x DMC collab?
    sounds like something that should of happened in 2004 but here it is in 2025, not that I'm complaining
    MK1 has been out for almost 2 years, and I'm just now learning that Madame Bo is the Bo Rai Cho of the new timeline, sounds obvious when you write it out but until this latest update came out it was not obvious at all :/

    Damn lol. I like Madam Bo though. She's the one replacement I don't mind. Although I hate Sektor and Cyrax gender swaps.
    Hot take: in a world where games like Nikke, Azur Lane, and Blue Archive exist, DOA's fanservice ain't shit :/
    Camel with 2 thumbs

    I get what you mean, DOA got lambasted by the public for having jiggle physics and skimpy costumes back in the late 90's early 2000's, but fast forward to today, every fighting game has swimsuit DLC and fetish costumes, every fighting game has jiggle physics, so what made DOA stand out is pretty much normal for fighting games
    Camel with 2 thumbs

    that's why I say DOA's fanservice by comparison to the modern-day standard of fanservice is weak, and I like it like that, it's present, it's there, the game doesn't hyperfocus on it but it's available for those who wish to enjoy, which make it a lot more balanced than the previously mentioned titles

    DOA was always not even the most fanservicey/ecchi FG series (i.e. with Soul Calibur existing), it just acted like or was treated like it was. Well, arguably it was when DOA1 came out at least, at least among 3D fighters. I havent played those game so I dont know if they can compete with DOA5's microkinis, but Oneechanbara had basically fruit pasties.
    Me: Miside is a fun anime game
    Them: iT's NoT aNimE! tHE dEvOLPeRs ARen'T JApANeSe!!

    glad to see this dumb ass discourse has worked it's way back into the public consciousness :/
    of course the second I try to record footage for a DOA2 video my JP ver. of DOA2 stops working, which means I may have to use vanilla DOA2 which has less characters, less stages, incomplete move sets and a few broken moves, and not broken in the good way :/
    Here's a nightmare scenario for ya
    DOA7 gets announced, but it's roster is now only waifus because Team Ninja said "look man, we need this game to sell, sorry all you fans of male characters, all 3 of you"

    DOA Bara edition? i'd play that game, it'd be a small ass roster but i'd play it

    Let Me turn from Nightmare scenario to Night Terror

    Which part of the reason to be a Waifu Game has everything to do with DOAXVV being very profitable, plus the game was cheaper to make, and benefitted KT's business practices with their Microtransactions (which could easily cost a Player for 1 outfit $840 Singapore Dollars).

    KT/TN would put blame on the FGC Community for DOA6 bad reputation, these people don't benefit KT's business practice. I as someone who enjoys DOA would rather have a game with low budget/resources with all the efforts went into Fanservice features, with prices being outrageously expensive in game price & monetization so long as I get a successor to DOA5LR & DOAXVV.
    people always give Haruno Sakura shit for being a terribly written female character, but when you actually go back read Naruto, you realize that 98% of Kishimoto's female characters are terribly written, Sakura's just the one that gets the most screen time

    Because of the following: 1) Sasuke was all over the place and he was holding about 75% of the entire story because of the Uchihas, 2) fans were goo-goo gaa-gaa-ing over Hinata when she was 10x worse but somehow gets a pass because she loves Naruto and fucks up the pairings and 3) because it's shonen. Women doesn't matter, unless they are the MAIN character.

    I wouldn't say that Hinata is 10x worst, yes she's just as fundamentally flawed as Sakura is in terms of writing (and arguably worst in some aspects) but Hinata gets a pass by fans because she's a much more appealing character; she's cute, she's demure, she's a classic yamato nadeshiko, so because of all that fans are way less harsh on Hinata despite her atrocious writing

    meanwhile Sakura is a brutish, big headed tomboy type who's hard to like AND terribly written, so she was screwed from the get-go, but like you said, this is shonen, shonen is not carried by it's ability to portray women well, as long as they look cute and are somewhat likeable most readers will not care if they are ineptly mishandled by the writer
