    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

    Gamefreak making an official battle simulator with Pokémon Champions is sick, but then you learn the game is gonna be F2P and i'm like bruh, just let me pay full price and be done with it, dlc the hell out of it if you must, but enough of this daily login, multiple currency, gacha bs

    There's such a thing as clearing one's backlog? That should straight up put you in legendary status! Jokes aside that free time that you get from not having to complete your backlog should be liberating (unless if you're too busy with work and/or other stuff normally from a day to day basis).

    to be fair, I have been methodically working on this since last summer, so almost a year now; playing games with the intention of finishing them, spending less time on forever games that don't end, combining that with slowing down on game purchases and bam, cleared

    I'm surprised the Japanese version's video has around double the views of the English version so far, I always had the impression it did better in the west than in Japan.

    The effort and detail getting put into this game is incredible, gonna be tough to wait till 2026 for it.

    NGB2 patch notes are out, that's a phrase I never thought I'd say :/

    and yeah, they're lowering enemy HP and increasing enemy counts, granted they're only doing it on a couple chapters but it's still a step in the right direction, kudos Team Ninja

    As much as I want Sonic Blitz to be a Sonic themed 3D fighting game, this shit has "arena fighter" written all over it, which isn't immediately a bad thing, it could be dumb mindless fun like Sparking Zero or a legit FG experience like Kill la Kill IF, guess we'll just have to wait

    I don't know if Sega would follow the anime fighter trend (God I hope not). But man, Sonic needs a new fighting game because we have all of these new characters, including the IDW cast thanks to loose canon, with these abilities but not put into some good use.

    it would be nice to see the massive Sonic roster be adapted into a game where their differences aren't just aesthetic, gimme a fighting game that takes advantage of their uniqueness

    Sonic could be the command dash mix up archtype
    Knuckles could be your typical bruiser
    Tails would be the fly/unfly character
    Silver could be slow but zoner heavy
    Cream would be a puppet character

    and the list goes on!

    Good ideas! We can expand them: Sonic is speedy mix ups but balanced, Tails is similar to your idea but also trap-based, Cream has *GASP* healing, Silver is basically KOF Athena with more psychic counters.

    question: is there any character in DOA6 who has a standing move that can put them in Jump (evade low ) status in 6 frames or faster? need it for testing

    I said it for NG3/RE and i'll say it for NGB2, why the eff is there a guide button in this game? the levels are linear as shit, who the hell is getting so lost to the point where TN felt the need to add a "go here dumbass" button. what happened to "When in doubt, look to the color blue for the path", that was an elegant solution that worked just fine!

    Ikr, its very obvious where to go next in these games, sometimes the environment change points out where you should be going next, or at least thats what I would say but then I remember the "climb the ladder to find the Resident Evil" meme and that people like DSP do exist (and the large majority of the people who play these games might be like him).

    pressing the guide button should = instant Ninja Dog Mode lol

    The two Life is Strange's featuring Chloe (LiS 1 & Before the Storm) are the best. The other 3 afterwards just couldn't seem to hit the same highs. What I wouldn't give for LiS 1 with LiS: Double Exposure's graphics...

    I only completed the first one, I played like, an hour of LiS 2, and little bit of the one that starred Alex Chen, I frankly didn't know Double Exposure existed until this post lol

    I’ve played and beat all the games. For the most part I enjoyed all of them…except double exposure lol. That game is not worth the $50. Do yourself a favor and just YouTube a playthrough of it if you’re curious of the story. Not worth the money or time to play it.

    Multiversus- We're shutting down after Season 5

    also Multiversus- Our newest patch is adding in features players have been asking for since Season 1

    What the actual hell :/

    actually considering that the game will still be available for offline/local play after the shutdown this kinda makes sense, but its still baffling

    I honestly have enjoyed my time with the game since joining when Jack was released. It's sad to see it go as I honestly felt the game is overall well balanced and has done a lot to step outside of the "Smash clone" mold.

    The entirety of this game will be something that'll be discussed and analyzed for years to come. Literally throwing money at the wall type of deal while it could've actually stood beside the Smash series in greatness, ah well, it is what it is.

    They really should marketed NGB2 as Sigma 2: Definitive Edition or something, calling it Black 2 is kind of deceiving, especially when you dig into the files and realize this game is literally Sigma 2 with UE5 graphics laying on top of it

    I played Power Instinct before the age of 10, so it's never been a weird thought to me, and I honestly thought the Gouketsuju sisters were pretty badass. There's something cool about "wise old martial arts master who's physicality has defied age", it's just that it's usually male instead of female for some reason. Give any character an interesting kit and ppl someone will play them, at least competitively.

    But then it's not just "old" women that are absent from FGs but "older" women in general. 95% are below the age of 30, and even when they do age past 30 they still look like they're in their 20s. Timeskips never have enough backbone to do it (even explain it away through story, like some condition keeping them young), as if they couldn't do it in an appealing way or something.

    My dual citizenship has been approved! and with perfect timing too; since the US is turning into a real-life episode of South Park might time to high tail it out of here

    that sux, I have alot of folks and friends who came here legally and fall under the category of "naturalized aliens", so on paper they should be fine, but the way these ICE raids are going that distinction might not mean a whole lot :/

    Probably, either there or Ghana or Kenyan since I have connections and family in all those countries, but it will be at least a year before I can even think about it seriously
