    all that hooting and hollering about Nintendo being greedy and anti-comsumer with the Switch 2, and yet the pre-orders sold out within hours :/ not surprised though, gamers always seen to have infinite income when it comes to video games, piss poor economy be damned lol

    it only sold out in hours? I woke up early on Switch 2 pre0order day in UK and it sold out in literally minutes lmao

    Have to say it again, the people that you hear on social media about stuff like this are a very vocal minority, they represent like, maybe 5% of the customers at best, it's only for more niche stuff that their voices are heard and listened to (like fighting games) and even then not in every instance.

    If only 20% of the install base of the switch was interested in the switch 2, it would still sell out. It doesn't take much to outpace the production line on launch. The real test comes down the road but since its a straight upgrade they should be pretty safe.

    peep this, I just came back from hanging out at a local sportsbar, and on the big screen where they normally show sports, they were straight up showing anime, at from 11pm to 12pm at a freaking sport bar, shit was surreal

    the anime they were showing was "I fell in love with an Okinawa girl", it's quite hilarious I highly recommend if you like comfy rom coms but yeah, it was such a bizzare moment that had me going "dam, the world sure has changed"

    Reminds me of that one time the gym that I went to decided to play power and heavy metal songs instead of the usual boots and cats type of "songs".....eh, calling them background noises is more fitting imo. Sometimes unusual stuff can happen even in places you would not expect them to happen, especially if you know what's going on daily there.

    so, Marvel Rivals is going to implement a color editor for skins....that will run you $6 every time you want to change color pallets, this almost makes the DOA6 hair fiasco look reasonable

    Its more like Marvel Rivals has just an alternative skin rather than a color edit, the only way to solve that problem is by Me buying the extra color which I got Psylock's Classic Outfit (which can switch colors), along side Emma's X-Revolution Skin & Battle Pass.

    Speaking of DOA6, I'm going to say this... Marvel Rivals is a better experience than DOA6 based on the fact that Marvel Rivals has attractive skins like X-Revolution & Malice Skin which is big for China standards, & DOA6 was too busy removing attractive skins from DOA5.

    selling alternates is even worse, at least with an editor you can flex your creativity for a price, with alternates it's just "here's a red and black variant of a skin you own, pay up nerd"

    oh well, be it an editor or just a bunch of recolors, $6 a pop is still ridiculous, they shan't receive a single penny from me

    I don't miss SF5 by any means, but I do miss Kolin, she was such an interesting and unique character, and the fact that she'll forever be a one off that will never return is saddening

    Hot take (maybe), I much preferred her og story mode model over her finalized playable one, the fact that her eyebrows blend in with her skin tone and her irises are dam near ethereal in their blueness has always bothered me, whereas her original model has more defined eyebrows and the color of her irises actually make her look human

    Not really a hot take. Nevertheless she was wasted potential narratively.

    I knew the recent T8 update was bad, but I didn't know it was "I used heat gauge now i have access to +20 tracking mids on block" levels of bad, guess the rage was justified

    Its also that the characters outside of the homing mids got tools that were annoying to deal with or got extensions to tools that they didn't really need. I'm at a relatively mid level with Tekken now but seeing the amount of new stuff people had to deal with in ranked was something else. Also, pretty much every character was able to do 90 dmg combos WITHOUT WALL.

    Also, not to mention actual bugs that happened with iirc Jack, Paul and especially Anna, to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if the devs either didn't have enough time to test the game or for some reason didn't test the game enough, so yeah, it was justified but the way it went after a while wasn't too justifiable imo.

    Glad I didn't invest too much time into the game lol. Though it is good that the Tekken devs acknowledged they messed up and wanna fix it. But no way in hell should that patch have been rolled out like that. Its like they didn't even bother to play test it.

    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

    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.

    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.
    DestructionBomb
    DestructionBomb
    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.

    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
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    $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 :/

    Hot take: in a world where games like Nikke, Azur Lane, and Blue Archive exist, DOA's fanservice ain't shit :/

    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
    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
    inochinagi

    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.
