    According to a recent law in California, Steam has to be explicit about the fact that you don't actually own Steam games, you're just temporarily accessing them on a server

    I always thought this was common knowledge and the main reason why digital game ownership is iffy, though I don't think this'll impact Steam too much, but we'll see

    Maybe if more people realize it then it'll increase demand for physical releases. Like how there's been a resurgence of cassettes & vinyl when it comes to music. But that might be a bad thing since it seems LRG has been monopolizing that market these days and rather than fill demand they'd rather make artificial scarcity...

    Good that California law is doing this, but yeah, don't underestimate how much people think that they "own" digital games. I've always been pretty anti-digital game since gen. 7 onwards because I knew that it puts way too much ownership power in the hands of the publishers & distributors. I'm still pro-physical media and buy on disc when possible. Selling, trading and purchasing used games are invaluable perks.

    oh wow, i didn't even know they were making a TV show, depending on which canon they're going with I might check it out

    but yeah this is great for old farts who like old Tomb Raider but my question is what's next? after remaking these games all they have left are Legends, Anniversary, Underworld, and then modern Tomb Raider, which aren't really remaster material

    so either these remasters are just a one off OR they're planning a proper Tomb Raider 7 that just ignores everything after Legends and continues the story from Angel of Darkness that plays like classic but is a new story, that I would 100% be down with, it's a longshot but hey a man can dream

    There's still the 2 GBC games and the GBA game, which I've read are good.

    As for the show, it looks like they're actually trying to merge the two timelines... lol. I knew it wouldn't work for me. It's Survivor Lara but they give her the dual pistols and throw in supernatural stuff. Survivor Lara can't become Classic Lara, it's not realistically possible.

    bought Onechanbara Origins during Steam sale thinking it was just gonna be some cheesecake fanservice anime fun, friggin first boss in the game was actually beating my ass and had me quitting to main menu, humbled me real quick lol

    really wish Lollipop Chainsaw got remade instead of remastered, the game still looks and sounds great but the combat and minigames are just as frustrating as they were 10 years ago :/

    For me, its not the gameplay but the frame rate and bugs. I've had really weird bugs in the remaster that never happened to me on original that caused me to restart levels. The frame rate is atrocious. Even on PS5 I've seen it drop below 30FPS, which is unacceptable to me. I hope Shadows of the Damned Remaster this month will be good. Granted that remaster is run by Suda51 directly, so I'm confident it will be great.

    oh wow I didn't know that Shadows of the Damned was getting remastered, will definitely give that a shot, but yeah Repop could have used more polish, If I recall there should be a patch coming soon to iron out some of the problems so hopefully that helps with framerate and bugs

    so, we've gone from the "guys! Venus is being used to fund the next mainline DOA game!" copium to "guys! Prism is a playtest for the new engine that'll certainly be used for the next mainline DOA game!" copium

    I mean it MIGHT be true, but still can't help but roll my eyes at the whole situation :/

    Yes, it is very understandable to roll your eyes at the situation, but I'm quite pleased that there is still a conversation that people are willing to have because when there isn't; it's hard to tell if existing would even matter.

    180 characters in Sparking Zero but no Paikon, no Super 17, No Zangya? no buy :mad:

    I jest, obviously, gotta save something for the DLC, hopefully we get those 3 and some OG DB characters down the line

    you never know lol. they were in the old games

    There are rumors of Paikon as a DLC character because of the tie in of Gogeta vs Janemba.

    Super 17 and Zangya however, is strangely not in with no information. Especially Super 17.

    Slowly re-learning DOA6 Nyo and im reminded that she has a bnb that works on every character in the game except for Hitomi and Kokoro, whaaaaaaaat :/

    stun 3P SSS 2K 2T

    for some reason Hitomi and Kokoro fall out of the third S multihit and the combo drops, weirdly enough if you just land raw CH 3P the combo works just fine. but yeah, that combo works on characters that are lighter than them and it works on characters that are heavier than them, so it's not a weight issue, probably just some weird character specific jank that'll never get fixed

    "the appearance of certain characters have been altered/removed" is a line you find multiple times going through Capcom Collection 2 change list, which to me just screams "look, some of these designs could fly in the 90's, but it's 2024 and we don't want to get in trouble"

    That has been a problem since Capcom Arcade Stadium where they removed Rising Sun from E. Honda's Stage in SFII. Capcom isn't just altering/removing content from classic titles, but also remakes (example Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster).

    These changes are reason, Capcom shouldn't get involved with gaming, and let third party developers/publishers (mainly Double A like Honey Parade Games, and Indie).

    The Rising Sun removal I get, since there's alot of complicated feelings towards that imagery and Capcom just not wanting to deal with it is understandable, as for what designs will be altered/removed, we'll just have to wait and see

    that said im putting money on it right now, Gunrock and Galuda's Powerstone ending art will most definitely get altered lol

    Dimitri's Midnight Bliss is one thing we do know is getting altered since they specifically mentioned it in the change list, and that's I am a little down on, since Midnight Bliss is so iconic, it makes sense for Dimitri, and I just find it hilarious, but if Capcom wants to label it problematic and change it then oh well, it's their game, they can do what they want, all I can do as a consumer is buy or don't buy

    Love it when high end graphically intense games are like "we now have an update that let's you play at 240 fps" bitch I can barely run this shit at 60 fps, but thanks for the option I guess
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Visions of Mana is a great game, but it's release is bittersweet knowing that the developers got their studio shut down one day after the game came out :/

    Random shower thought; OH's should have been exclusive to grapplers, because outside of their standard throws being 1 frame faster wth does being a grappler even mean in a game where EVERYone has untechable command throws
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    grapplers in DOA should have more than just faster throws to classify themselves as such, and having exclusive access to a special throw that goes throw block and attack start up frames would be perfect for that. sure some characters would lose out because of this (Jann, Marie Rose, Bayman, etc), but then you just give them better strikes,strings and counters to compensate

    just a thought

    Nah, I love Kasumi being the best grappler with 236T, 33T, 1T and an i9 jab haha :p ! Seriously though, I wouldn't mind all strikers (i9 jabbers or i11/i12 elbow strikers) having throws & holds akin to DOA5 Pai's which do negligible damage but provides frame advantage follow-ups.
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    that'd be interesting way to balance throws for fast characters, I always thought it was whack when characters with the best strike priority in the game would also get throw launchers or throws that lead to unholdable stuns, but throws that lead to holdable stuns DOA5 Pai style? that could work

    At the risk of losing my FGC card, imma say it, yes im glad the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has CvS1, CvS2, and SF Alpha 3

    but screw those games all my hype is for Power Stone 1 and 2
