    Nintendo really out here trying to win the biggest asshole in game development award huh, putting a patent on the mechanic of summoning monsters to fight for you? it's not just Palword at this point that's gonna be affected, ALOT of games are going to be screwed by this

    You know speaking of Nintendo being scummy. I'm surprised no one is talking about the fact that they are basically reselling Galaxy 1 lol. Galaxy 1 was already in 3D all stars that released years ago ; But now if people wanna play Galaxy 2, they gotta rebuy Galaxy 1 as part of the bundle. Its just extra padding so they have an excuse to charge $60-70 for this. Its pretty messed up.

    EDIT: Just read online. Seems you can buy em separately digitally. I guess that's not too bad. Still scummy that they're charging $70 for physical tho.

    dam, i wasn't even aware of that was going on with galaxy, I was probably too busy malding over the $80 kirby game at the time, and I like kirby, but 80$ for a port from 2022 that's barely an upgrade with 3 extra hours of content? absolutely not

    now that I have a working 360 I plan on doing a vanilla Ninja Gaiden 3 playthrough, mainly to see if 1, the game is as bad as I remember or was I just blinded by my disdain towards Hayashi, and 2, to see if I can beat it's Master Ninja mode w/o abusing the shit out of the SoB

    Virtua Fighter 5/FS/US character usage statistics always make me chuckle, top 3 is mostly Jacky, Akira, Sarah, dead last is always Taka, and everyone else is stuck between 2-6% usage

    What about Pai? 4th? That would match exactly with the VF guests in DOA then, lol.

    I've mained Sarah until now (except for the very first few days I ever played VF4, when I focused on Lion) but I've been thinking of switching to Vanessa.

    Vanessa is so much fun, whether or not she's good i couldn't tell ya

    And now that I'm on my mid 2000's retro arc, I been feelin' the need for some Vf4:evo

    But yeah, despite Pai being one of the more recognizable VF characters, her popularity fluctuates greatly, she's either in the middle of the pack in terms of usage or is in 4th place trailing behind Jacky, Akira, and Sarah

    Although in the latest poll taken this year, Pai managed to crack the bottom of top 3, overtaking Jacky, what changed? Who knows,

    weirdest DOA take i've heard in a while, but I kinda lowkey agree?

    @inochinagi Not to get bogged down with the science of the panty shot (my goodness what am I saying) but imo if a character moves in such a way that their underwear gets exposed, that's a panty shot, camera zoom or not, however there are layers to it, DOA has the natural panty shot, i.e underwear getting exposed 'cause that's just how the clothing physics would work in that scenario
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    and then there's the cringe anime panty shot that we've all seen a million times in anime, in which there's some contrivance that leads to a skirt lift, the character gets embarrassed, the camera zooms in and pans up slowly to show off the underwear in excruciating detail, y'know, the type of thing can make even the most open minded anime fan roll their eyes

    although I guess it's not always cringe, like im not gonna watch Agent Aika and be like "ew, wth is this perversion" like the whole point of that show is fanservice + action girls, but there are instances where it can come off as egregious, thankfully that's not the case with DOA, it just fits in so naturally I assume most DOA players barely register it mentally

    Congratulations to the Silksong fans, after 6 years of radio silence your game is finally coming out, hope it was worth

    TBH. If you put NG4, the new Onimusha, and Sushi Ghosts: Gohtee side by side; its like comparing menu items from Wendys, Burger King, and Mcdonalds. Sure they taste different but at the end of the day they are just burgers. X.x

    any here ever watch an anime called Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer? it's not great but it was directed by Masami Obari, same guy who directed/designed the Fatal Fury film trilogy, so the whole time you're watching it feels like your seeing an anime take place in an alternate universe South Town lol

    I watched it back in June. Outside of the incest (if you know, you know), it was an interesting series.

    Camel with 2 thumbs
    true, there was some truly out of left field incest going on, it's one thing when it was happening on the bad guys side with the sibling student council members (but it did lead to a very interesting transformation, looked like a proto darling and the fraxxx type design) but we get into Kyosuke and his sis and....it's not explicit, but signs point to his love for his sis being more than just brotherly :/

    I re-watched it recently... as much as I hate to admit, it's worse than I remember it.

    Virus Buster Serge and Gravion, not so much. (We don't talk about Angel Blade...)

    seriously considering buying a 360 in the near future, 1 because it's one of the few consoles that has exclusives that I still care to play, 2 it backwards compatible with OG Xbox which also has exclusives I still care to play
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    crazy to think we're reaching the end of this console generation, feels like the PS5 and Series X just came out not too long ago, or maybe my ass is just getting old lol

    Well, the PS5 for like the first two years was sold mostly by scalpers since there was a shortage of iirc chips due to various reasons so a limited amount of copies were made early on (took a long time for me to see one in any electronics-oriented shop/market where I live) since they bought it up and sold it mostly for double the original price (at least in my country).

    Even after that, its price wasn't exactly cheap, most people were just fine with their completely functional PS4's but time doesn't lie, it has been 5 years since the release of PS5, or will be around November of this year, as for eckbock, even though from a performance standpoint their current gen consoles are great, even amazing, this generation for them pretty much came and went.

    Watched the new Virtua Fighter teaser, and I have to admit,, my biggest fear of supers and EX moves being added to VF have been largely assuaged, I am curious about what the red cracks on the character models is supposed to mean though, hopefully we get info during TGS

    Not sure about the red cracks thing. Personal theory is locational damage. ie you hit a certain area continually until it causes a special stagger, which the red cracks signify.

    Ngl, I thought they were revealing that Stella is a robot or something who's face was cracking, at first... lol

    Mechanic might be neat, but may or may not get used to the effect...

    I see pretty much everyone guessing it's a locational multiplier/weakpoint or something, or a place that becomes temporarily unblockable.

    interesting theories, I was thinking it was some sort of guard break mechanic to punish players for being overly defensive, which is odd cause Virtua Fighter is already a game where defense is very active so specifically punishing passive defense seems weird, but that's just my speculation

    Looking at the new Strive guest character like "dam, I'd be hype if I knew who the hell she was"

    Just saw the Lucy gameplay trailer for GG. She looks dope actually.

    Also she literally takes the UI from the Cyberpunk game for one of the attacks which is clever. I might actually watch GG tournaments now and root for anyone that plays that character.

    We truly are living in bizzaro world, Microsoft increased the price of their 5 year old console, now Nintendo is increasing the price of their 8 year old console, what's next? Sony increasing the price of the PS4?

    Gaming is about to be even more heavily expensive hobby in the future. Obviously expensive now, but it'll reach a point of super premium lol. Gacha is already flooding it worse as is.

    GTA6 about to be $100.

    Gaming has gotten expensive for a long time now, its just that there was a larger spectrum of options before from cheaper indies to mid-cost AAs to more costly AAAs. Nintendo used to have easily the more affordable console options. But now It seems more games are gonna shift into the higher price ranges.

    honestly it's seems like if you want to keep your gaming habits up without breaking the bank, now's the time to get into older consoles with games you already know you like plus a library of undiscovered gems to keep you occupied at a reasonable price

    or just sale the seven seas if you know what I mean lol
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Okay, this game is alot cooler than I initially thought, primarily because it's learning from the mistakes of previous tag fighters
    my only gripe is that autocombos are present, but at this point I can live with that

    Also, kinda wild to realize that while Atelier has crossed over into DOA before, DOA hasn't crossed over into Atelier afaik... yet Tekken now has. Although it kinda feels like trolling when Heihachi is the only character to be part of it, lol.

    Nen Impact has been getting raked over the coals by mainstream FGC, as it should, but it has brought together lovers of Kusoge from multiple smaller fighting gaming communities so I am glad for that, fingers crossed it's issues get addressed so people can actually recommend this game without citing multiple caveats
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    For a game with the word "impact" on the title, Nen Impact seems to lack it in spades, the hits just feel so soft and lofty :/
