    "Ninja Gaiden developed by Platimun Games...I actually like platinum games and I still don't like the idea :/" I said this 3 years ago on this very website, and now that this has eerily become a reality, I still have my reservations, but im not as down on the idea as I was back in 2022

    on the other hand, I feel like Platinum Games design philosophy and what Ninja Gaiden is don't really mesh well, so the result is going to be a standard Platinum Games game, but with a NG coat of paint on it, which frankly sounds better than 98% of what's out there, I just fear that NG's identity and feel might get lost in the shuffle, but i'll wait and see before I pass that judgement

    While PlatinumGames isn't in its best form in this day and age and as you said, the gameplay of the games the team developed makes me think that working on Ninja Gaiden won't work out insanely well, Bloober, a team that wasn't known for their smash hits were the ones who developed the Silent Hill 2 remake, so, there's still a chance that NG4 will be really good and PlatGames comes back on the map as a result.

    Some of Platinum Games key members left so it's pretty understandable to be skeptical.

    Definitely still better than nothing in my opinion.

    *puts on old man hat* back in my day before your fancy cell phones and social media a man could leave the house, go to work, and for 8-10 hours nobody had access to you 'cept for the people in your immediate vicinity, and we liked it that way!

    anyone here remember when VF5 (vanilla) had personalized intros that were super flashy and had your characters doing weird and funny gestures in customizable outfits? been searching the internet for footage of this and I've found nothing, but I know this was a real thing :/

    "if you're not hype for Ragebound then you're a not real NG fan, you're just a 3D era fanboy" is a strangely common take i've been seeing; I think the lack of hype stems more from the fact that we haven't had a new mainline NG game in 13 years and ppl were expecting something more substantial after all this time :/

    So far I'm not even sure if it'd satisfy the 2D era NG itch... it just looks way more like other indie NG-inspired games. If they had come out with a true NG4 rather than an outsourced spinoff, 2D or 3D, that would have been way more hype. But as far 13 years since the last 3D NG, I don't think Ragebound's development would have any bearing on the development of a new game from TN anyways.

    if TN don't reveal NG4, i think the IP is taken by Koei Tecmo,

    Seeing how Capcom did Terry dirty in SF6 makes me appreciate how TN has 0 problems with making guest characters OP, yeah we've gotten some duds like Nao and Tamaki, but Spartan and the VF characters? oh my guudness...

    the pain of trying to get a doujin fighter from 2005 to work on a modern computer, only to play it for 30 mins and go, "this shit is ass" :/

    Which doujin fighter? I know I can play Hinokakera.

    Camel with 2 thumbs
    oh I wasn't referencing any particular doujin fighter, I was just referencing the general struggle getting doujin fighters to run properly

    although the latest doujin fighter I've played is Haruhi Grappler which certainly is not ass, although it was a bitch to get up and running lol

    90's anime dubs were wildin'

    As wild as they were, Ocean had some peak 90s English dubs, with a few that still hold up to this very day such as Ranma 1/2 and Galaxy Express 999.
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    first 4 seasons of the Ranma dub are top notch, but I can't watch it after that, not because the quality gets bad but because after S4 they got Richard Cox to do Ranma's voice and no joke manz is just doing his Inuyasha voice for Ranma and it is so distracting to the point where I have to swap languages

    Never watched Galaxy Express so I can;t comment on it, looks cool though

    Say what you will about that 90s Canada-based anime dubbing from Ocean and DiC, despite the silly accents for some characters and some characters sounding older than they should and the censorship/changes in the dialogue, I can't help but love..... oh damn, I just heard it :O I never heard it before until now... XD lmao.

    man, I picked the worst time to get back into DBZF, cause now that all the casuals have left to play Sparking Zero, only the hardcore enthusiasts who've been grinding the game since launch are left, and I'm out here still playing the game like it's season 3 :/

    Eh, thing with Strive is that rn it is THE anime fighting game so you'll get plenty of people who aren't as good and maybe even casuals especially if the game's on a discount but with FighterZ there are far more people who have been grinding the game than mediocre players and especially casuals.

    I'm surprised at the lukewarm reaction to Borderlands 4, i was under the impression that ppl liked that franchise, but i guess after a lackluster 3rd installment, a just okay spinoff, and a terrible movie adaption maybe the hype for Borderlands just ain't there

    also everyone's "favorite" character Ava possibly coming back in just ugh...

    I genuinely do enjoy the Borderlands games (mostly BL2 and BL3), but mostly of their 3rd wall breaking humor while also not being too afraid of being cancelled for saying things that wind up true in reality.

    However, I feel the series somewhat kinda fell off in story when Handsome Jack left the picture. That character was 10/10.

    3rd game had the best gameplay but worst story imo.

    Tina Armstrong could pull off a wicked Rangiku Matsumoto cosplay, especially TYBW Rangiku, they dam near look like sisters at that point

    I'm just as trash at VF now as I was 3 years ago when VF5US came out, but so are many other ppl, and frankly the only time it's fun to be bad at a fighting game is when you have many other players to be bad with you lol

    It’s a very complex series, but also very rewarding. I want to get good at this next one. 5 wasn’t really my cup of tea. Peak VF was on PS2.

    VF is not everyone's fighting game due to how technical it can get, especially within 5 and recent titles. It was easily accessible during 3's run. 4 and 4EVO was the start when complexity kicks in.
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    yeah VF on PS2 was amazing, 4EVO is actually one of my favorite fighting games of all time despite it's complexity, I own VF3 on Dreamcast but I can never get into it, which is so strange to say because back when I first got my Dreamcast I would have killed to own VF3, but I ended up getting DOA2 instead and the rest is history lol

    Some people just have waaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands I suppose. Thing is, these people on these social media sites are just a loud minority, most people find games like these with protagonists that you listed either cool or they just don't give a damn about it and just play games to kill time.

    Obviously "white" incels, they are upset because they no longer have the privileges they once had. They have realized that no longer the center of attention, Eurocentrism is over.

    "Black" people are no longer in the background like comical relief, women no longer be objectified on many media, gay people are more respected than before. these "white" male alpha wanna be are scared for that. it's over for them and I'm glad.

    I joke about it being a Marvel rip but dam, some of these sequences are straight from Marvel 3/2, just in this trailer alone I can see combos and supers inspired by Thor, Shuma Gorath, Stider Hiryu, Spencer, Nova, Tron Bonn, Hulk, Jin Saotome

    then again the name of the game is Knock Off so maybe it's intentional but dam

    "This anime takes place in Ancient Greece, why the hell are there ninja cat girls and gothic lolitas?" when you start asking yourself questions like this it might be time to drop the whole anime thing and start watching documentaries or something :/

    It's not so much about not being able to suspend disbelief, I just get annoyed when overused anime tropes that clash with the established tone/setting worm their way into a narrative

    granted if there's an actual in universe explanation for why those things are there then it's all gucci, but if they're just tossing them in the story because "lol itz anime who cares" that's when I start rolling my eyes

    @inochinagi: No, not that one. This anime's called "Nyaight of the Living Cat".

    I wish I was making this shit up, but this is real. This is actually a thing, and that's exactly what the title is called. But don't get me wrong, I'm totally watching it.
