    it's funny because with Capcom Fighting collection 2, Tomb Raider collection 2, it seems like re-releasing old game compilations in 2's is the hot trend right now, so fingers crossed we get a Kollection 2 for the 3D era games and Shaolin Monks, especially since we're most likely never getting a Shaolin Monks 2

    There might be a chance that the PS2 trilogy is also included in this kollection, since apparently they have the Gameboy Advance version of Deadly Alliance in it "with more on the way". If it goes up until MK9, all of them with playable online with good rollback, then NRS made probably what'll be the best decision that they had in the past 6-7 years.

    As for a Shaolin Monks 2 or a new proper Mythologies game, I think that NRS won't be making a new MK game for a while (which depending on how long the wait will be it could be a good thing), hence why we're getting this kollection.

    Welp, it took two years but now every SF6 characters has a whopping 3 costumes! I will never understand SF6's aversion to alternates, it's just leaving free money on the table imo

    though I guess it's better than the SFV costume situation where favoritism lead to some characters *coughChunLicough* with 20 high quality alternates while others only got 3-4 that weren't even that good; at least in SF6 everyone gets nice alternates and their doled out at a semi equal rate so there are no haves and have-nots

    DMC3 is one of those games when people say "it's the best of it's genre" what they mean is "it's the best of it's genre...once you've added the appropriate mods that offer modern conveniences and options the fans have deemed necessary because the base game is good but dated as fuck" a la Skyrim

    should be optional, not almost mandatory (imo of course).

    Also, when it comes to modding, once people played a game 50 times back and forth you do want to make it fresh via modding if possible. Kingdom Hearts fans mostly say that 2 Final Mix is the best game of the franchise (it is), yet, the modding scene is immense, to the point where they made different characters from different games that were not present in 2 playable in 2.

    While the gamepay of that game is not dated in any way possible, in fact, it is also considered the best in the franchise.

    His last game was Tekken Mobile (which got shutdown).

    I mean if you think about it Fahk was a Tekken 8 charcter backported to 7 just like Lidia and Kunimitsu II very much are. So personally I always knew they'd bring him back at some point, the weird decision to me is bringing back Armor King with no Marduk lol

    So MK1 will continue to receive balance patches despite DLC being discontinued for the game, which is good cause there's alot of underwhelming kameos that see 0 use and some questionable kharacter interactions that make 0 sense so hopefully those get changed

    Food for the Soul and Catch me at the Ballpark, 2 anime that belong to the painfully malnourished genre of slice of life starring adults who are either undergrads or full time workers, check 'em out if it sounds like your thing

    remember MGSV: Ground Zeroes? that demo that Konami had the balls to charge $40 but everyone went along with it because "well, it's Kojima, he's always doing wacky stuff", how did we let that shit slide at all??? I feel like if any publisher tried something like that today they'd be burned at the stake

    I also remember Gran Turismo 5 Prologue. Paid demos are icky, but people were really itching for GT5 in 2008 and MGS5 in 2014. Though, could you imagine if Cyberpunk 2077 had a paid demo in 2019?

    Back in 2010 there was also Dead Rising 2: Case Zero which released on Xbox 360's XBLA for $4.99 a few days before Dead Rising 2 and doubled as a mini-prequel. I enjoyed it. I thought it was pretty meaty for a $4.99 1-day game and I actually replayed it a few times.

    Camel with 2 thumbs
    holy cow I actually remember Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, I remember being confused because I thought it was the full game but then I saw the $5 price tag

    but yeah I can see game franchises of a certain caliber being able to get away with this nonstandard practice, but I feel like this is exactly the type of rabbit hole thinking that leads us to $90 first party Nintendo games

    welp, with MK1 no longer being supported, every1's speculating about the next NRS game, which is either going to be Injustice 3 or that rumored MCU fighting game, but given how WB is more interested in turning all their games into live service store fronts, I don't even want to think about what their future fighting games will look like under the current WB model :/
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    dam, I thought MK1 was done and dusted, but then NRS puts this out

    that said, this is pretty much just MK1 with new skins and all the DLC bundled together at a more reasonable price, not bad but this does mean no more balance patches or system changes, so the version of MK1 we have now is pretty much it

    Guess the leaks of no KP3 were real after all.
    Shame since Khaos Expansion must not have met expectations.
    Then again, NR has done a complete edition for MK and IN.
    Haven't played this game btw, I only heard it wasn't as good as the others. Seems 11 had more support.
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    11 definitely got more support, that said 11 catered way harder to the casual market so naturally it had a longer lifespan, MK1 imo has superior gameplay but it fumbled on basic stuff like online modes and training options, and the assist mechanic did not go well with the casual playerbase, and unfortunately casuals carry MK

    back when DOA6 came out one thing I complained about was how Nyo was given all these fancy new tools but none of them fixed her core issues, but now that I've being playing DOA5 a lot recently, I think I have to retroactively eat my words

    Camel. All I want is a 360T command spd instead of a 1T! Thats all. I have been wishing for this since the Nyo Geo first came out as dlc! Its not fair! Bass has Victory Bomb, Bass Bomber, and F5! While Ryu has Izuna Drop and P+K, PP, 360T! Hayate has....well...HE IS HAYATE! >.<

    the fact that her piledriver is a low throw is very weird, definitely gives it less use cases than other characters pile driver, but it made more sense back in ultimate when it a 2T command and was i7, but then Last round came out and now it's a 1T command and has 3 more frames of start up, granted she now has proper i5 2T like everyone else but the animation is nowhere near as cool :(

    Her sumo stomp and 46P+K has more uses than her spd! X.x

    DOA has always been known for it's striking and over the top character design, which is why it blows my mind that a character like Rig even exists on the DOA roster

    To me it was like "let's just say this guy is from Canada, cuz why not?" and "he's named Rig cuz he works on a rig" XD. Where's the cutscene where he chugs some maple syrup, or at least eats a timbit and washes it down with a double double?

    I guess being covered in weird tattoos is supposed to be the most interesting thing about him.

    (I know a girl who thought he was hawt tho, lol)

    ah, so Rig (and his castmate Mila) were specifically designed to be "regular people" at least in the context of a DOA game, that very much tracks with what TN was doing at the time because before that they had released Ninja Gaiden 3 which also did the "what if regular everyday people were part of this fantastical game" thing

    DOA English voice acting with regional accents for everyone, could you imagine? Hitomi with a German accent? Kasumi and Ayane speaking engrish? Spanish Mila? oh what we could have had :/

    I've always thought about how awesome it would be if every character in DOA spoke their own native languages and spoke to each other in accented English, I like that effort to provide realism, but I'm just so selfishly in love with Yuko Nagashima's JP voice for Tina that I'd never ask for it to happen XD

    I guess Kasumi and Ayane speaking "Engrish" would go somewhat like this. As for 2HC's EN voice acting, I have a soft spot for it. The execution can come off weird half the time (good vibrations anyone?) but the voices feel suitable for the most part imo, its also nice that they kept the JP battlegrunts instead of them recording their own which wouldn't have been good most likely.

    Yeah that's my dilemma too, ideally I want to get one physical copy of all the games I care about, and this gen that was going to be on XSX and Switch 2. But costs are making me think I'll be skipping this gen and focusing in indie/smaller games on steam/GoG, but physical for PC is non-existent these days. Makes me wish, wherever possible, that new games would still release physically on older platforms too.
    inochinagi
    inochinagi
    The other issue is, while I still can't afford a new console, I might have a window to still get an XSX the cheapest I'm gonna be able to get one, probably ever, like you said FoN. I'm gonna need one for the inevitable DOA7, if not NG4. Even if I settle for digital on PC, then I'm gonna need a new PC. And the gaming market is even worse for anyone not wanting to support US and Chinese products these days.

    slowly getting back in SC6 and honestly, I'd forgotten how much I enjoy Talim, still bothered by the fact that she's 13yrs old while rocking a bikini and short shorts, but that's what outfit customization is for, a full shirt and pants for you young lady

    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

    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
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    Camel with 2 thumbs
    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
