    GTA6 requiring age verification? sounds like a bad joke, and frankly I wish it was :/

    Its a future were approaching at a rapid pace, especially age verification program requiring Driver's License, Biometric Digital ID, & Facial Scan in the name of protecting the children.

    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

    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

    You know I'll take this over a new blazblue. Although Blazblue will always be the goat. I'm really excited to see the combo potential in this game. The mechanics seem solid.

    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.

    Meanwhile, Tekken 8 gets the lamest stuff for the collaboration. A strand of hair and a flying slime lol. Not even a costume.

    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 :/

    dam, they gave my man a rekka, a cancellable poke, and a cross up button? now he won't be completely gimped the second he can't throw fireballs, nice

    Meanwhile Zangief has a fatter hitbox and his range is ineffective. Capcom nerfed gief again just like in sfv! X.x

    Recently been learning how to play Phase 4, and it certainly has been a breath fresh of air, but I swear half the battle is just learning the timing of her teleport cancels, Im sure with experience that'll get easier but sheesh, Phase 4 players y'all have my respect

    My ex-bf had her down. He was honestly more tournament ready than I ever was. Phase 4 was a difficult character to use. When you get her to a good point show us some matches! I'm vgmkyle on Steam if you ever want to play there.

    bruh, I'm just now learning that Tamaki's wallsplat and sideswitch throws are quarter circle inputs, I've been doing them both with half circle inputs this whole time, I'm such a scrub :/

    SF6 has actually become interesting to watch again, and I highly suspect it's because players have reached a point where they know how to deal with Drive Rush, so matches are no longer decided by who can abuse the mechanics more, but by which players are actually playing Street Fighter, I like it

    you ever get some werid hate comments on your socials and rather than respond, you just look at the comments and you're like "this poster has to be like 10 yrs old, bad spelling, no articulation, and they unironically have "Lord" and "King" in their name with a black and red anime pfp, if I respond to this I might as well be bullying a kid :/"

    I don't mind responding to hate, kinda comes with the territory in online discourse unfortunately, but I do mind responding to someone who writes like they aren't old enough to cross the street by themselves, that is just plain weird to me

    plus his command run kinda sux, the shoulder charge is aight but the low and overhead are just round closers and nothing else, all that said, he will do wonders for new players who are just getting into City of Wolves, but I don't see him being a high level tournament threat, too many holes in his gameplan and there are characters who can do the same but better

    COTW is awesome. Way more fun than SF6 imo. Terry, Rock and Mai are my favorites to play. Shame that its not exactly doing all that great though player numbers wise, but tis the fate of being an SNK fighter.

    don't know why people were expecting a sequel to franchise whose last game came out 25 years ago to do Street Fighter numbers, regardless, it's definitely not a game for everyone, despite what the guest character picks are, but it will do well amongst the SNK faithful, which is a niche but large community so I wouldn't worry

    is DOA6 Honoka the only character in DOA history that has a low launcher (and I don't mean a 2 part low starter launcher, I mean like a low attack that actually launches)? I feel like that can't be right but I can't recall anyone else having such a move :/

    been watching alot of Ninja Gaiden 4 footage lately, and while there is alot of stuff they're bringing back that's cool (UT's, Obliterations, Essence), I can say with confidence that I don't like the UI, call me a purist if you must but offscreen enemy indicators and Spidey Sense style warnings for incoming attacks don't belong in Ninja Gaiden, fingers crossed we can turn that stuff off

    By the way, Yasuda added that. A Team NINJA guy.

    Very likely that even if it was done in-house you probably would of still seen it lol.

    well regardless of whose fault it is, hopefully it's optional for players who want a less cluttered UI, or it's just one of those training wheel features that goes away once you play the game on higher difficulties, kinda like Arkham Asylum; that game had indicators for everything, but they turn it all off once you play on hard mode

    DOA7 wish list

    A proper lockout mechanic, a new way to interact with the environment, a sumo rep, and an actual old lady character (not that Nyotengu BS)
