How is this a 2022 game bro
Bayonetta 2 looks infinitely better and it came out 8 years prior

Don't know why get caught up in the words someone used on a silly meme tho 
The game seems fun and very well designed as mainline nintendo franchises generally are
errant star
literally just the quit having fun meme

Just wish it was on a better hardware cause this game could look amazing visually too
If it had some less constraints

At least it looks 10 generations ahead of pokemon

gamefreak moment
errant star
but yeah pretty sick you can already emulate at 4k 60fps if you wanted its fair to criticize nintendo and the hardware but the game is exactly what you bargain for from a botw sequel on the same switch
slate thorn
They should honestly just get another company than Gamefreak for the pokemon games, or at least like, get more companies in on it. Because outside of the core design of the game, Gamefreak is just ass
errant star
even just an optimization team lol
minor bolt
can't optimize a steaming turd unfortunately
errant star
ppl have already been rightfully pissed about the dex cuts
slate thorn
And a graphics team

gamefreak just ass
slate thorn
The only thing Gamefreak knows how to do is create core gameplay elements and that's it

ilca did a good job on the dp remakes but that 2d style isnt where the series is going
slate thorn
Dp remakes are still pretty trash though
They would be decent if Platinum didn't exist
slate thorn
But with Platinum existing, the dp remakes are just....
minor bolt
helps that it was built in unreal engine instead of whatever gamefreak uses
slate thorn
They're just kinda pointless
Gamefreak probably uses unreal as well
Just the first generation
warm pumice
Gen 5 remakes are what's going to solidify their rep, Gen 5 fans are hardcore
slate thorn
Or you know, don't even remake it and just release the damn games for Switch
It's literally 5 minutes work for Nintendo to put the games in the eshop
warm pumice
Doubt they'll do that

Gen 5 remakes is pretty much going to determine the nail on the coffin for Gamefreak
They should put the spinoff games in the eshop and that virtual console crap

definitely wont be
warm pumice
Gen 5 is well respected though and praised on a standard though
minor bolt
there's no incentive for gf to improve when every year they sell millions
warm pumice
oh thats true
slate thorn
Remakes will just again show that other companies are better at making a game than Gamefreak. But that wont stop Nintendo and Pokemon Company from using Gamefreak for Pokemon
warm pumice
Its crazy how much fanmade games there are that play better than the late entry games
slate thorn
That's because fans genuinely care
warm pumice
Then Nintendo pulls up with that C&D letter
Nintendo when it catches fans doing cool shit and having fun
slate thorn
Anyway, Nintendo, please give me Pokemon Platinum on the Switch, I will gladly pay full price for it
errant star
Gen 5 is well respected though and praised on a standard though
it was the same with gen 4 until they delivered bdsp
slate thorn
The gen 4 remakes just made the gen 4 fans cling on even harder to the originals
warm pumice
it was the same with gen 4 until they delivered bdsp
bdsp got praised?? Honestly didnt follow much about it after it got released
errant star
no the opposite really
slate thorn
Bdsp was basically universally seen as a lazy cashgrab
errant star
i'm saying the gen 5 remakes won't be a nail in the coffin because they can make whatever and people will buy it
slate thorn
Still better than the stuff gamefreak has been doing lately
warm pumice
i'm saying the gen 5 remakes won't be a nail in the coffin because they can make...
gotcha
slate thorn
But they're not good in the grand scheme of things
errant star
luckily they delivered with PLA for sinnoh fans, I loved that game
warm pumice
luckily they delivered with PLA for sinnoh fans, I loved that game
it was a good game
slate thorn
As standalone games they're perfectly fine. But considering Platinum exists and the charm the og's have, the remakes are just very underwhelming
warm pumice
I enjoyed it for the most part but didnt finish it
slate thorn
I dropped arceus like halfway because it just got so incredibly boring
Cant believe I paid $60 for a tech demo
warm pumice
I got tired of having to catch the same pokemon numerous times
minor bolt
yeah i didnt like PLA either
warm pumice
That was about it but the graphics, I didnt really care much since it was a different team, I let it slide for that
slate thorn
Boring 2000s looking ass open world with the blandest of gameplay mechanics and overall shit graphics. And that's shit for switch standards, actual ps1 looking game
warm pumice
With the right mods, it gives a good experience
slate thorn
And because of that I haven't bought scarlet & violet
warm pumice
I seen the roster, and its whatever
Actually might finish playing Moon and UM on my 2ds

I downloaded pokemon infinite fusion recently, need to start playing that
warm pumice

what game is it based off
slate thorn
Kanto + extra areas, Johto post game, Sevii Islands post game
All pokemon from gen 1 & 2, + 101 pokemon from gen 3 till 7
warm pumice
Oh shit
Me like
Does it have that feature from HG/SS where the pokemon follows you?
slate thorn
176,400 unique pokemon basically
warm pumice
not really a selling point, just curious
slate thorn
I dont think so
Probably because they'd have to make 176,400 sprites I assume lol
They have 50,000 custom sprites apparently?
warm pumice
I just started downloading
Think itll be while since I start playing it
I wonder if its possible to play them on the 3ds/2ds
slate thorn
I think you can only play on pc and mac
Because of the amount of stuff that needs to be loaded
Like, 50k custom sprites might be too much for the 3ds to handle
warm pumice
I think you can only play on pc and mac
oh I C
slate thorn
Yeah, the game is a few GBs, I'm not sure how happy the 3ds would be with that lol
warm pumice
Atryom the goat
Common DDS W, but I wouldnt compare with Persona in terms of deep

tf is that
rustic peak
The good thing about totk is that you can just play it on an emulator and it looks wayyyy better
Personally I care a lot more about good art direction. Stuff like the jank shadows are kinda weird looking sometimes but I dont really mind that much.
If a game shines in other areas, in totks case exploration and the physics sandbox, im willing to forgive some other problems
minor bolt
art direction usually matters a lot more yeah, but it's hard to deny things like unstable framerate/performance, shitty aliasing/resolution etc not getting in the way of it
rustic peak
Sure, im not denying that. But there also isnt much the game itself can do there, just kind of unfortunate timing I guess where the switch is going towards the end of its lifecycle and it also wouldnt have made sense to delay the game until the next console
fleet wave
they could have totally just made this the entry game for the new console
minor bolt
yeah thats fine and all but it's not uncommon to see people defend poor performance etc for whatever reason
rustic peak
We have absolutely zero idea about the state of the new console, wild to just say that lmao
fleet wave
no but you can make an educated guess
rustic peak
Switch 2 rumors have been a thing for like 4 years at this point, good luck with that guess
random field
every nintendo home console gets 1 zelda game, at least. BotW was technically Wii U's. its just that the Wii U's failure necessitating a new console launch resulted in the game releasing simultaneously on both consoles
but it was very much a Wii U game ported over
this is the Switch's first real zelda game
rustic peak
Fwiw I dont think a game needs to be perfect in every area to deserve a 10/10. Like looking back I would give that to witcher 3 even when the combat and the build rpg elements were kind of ass. I also wouldve been a lot more willing to forgive pokemons horrendous performance if the game showed any sort of polish in any other area. Instead we got an unbalanced mess of an open world, like 2 explorable houses, lifeless towns, terrible online play, activities that clearly didnt give a shit about running at like 5 fps and much more

the whole softlocks during the tera battles were frustrating

law people are quick for those kinds of stuff lol
placid otter
what do u mean quick, it has been going for over a year
indigo minnow
no but when they get rejected, i would think it would take minimum 1 month to prepare and then return to court
it feels like they go to court every week for another another round

Nah, filing the appeal is the quick part
They have enough time afterwards to prepare for court

they’ll cheer on the merger then whine when ms raises the price of game pass to cover their purchase of abk
neon scroll
I mean, if MS had any games worth playing on there that'd be fine
I guess Starfield will be on it, but I trust that release about as much as I trusted Redfall
Basically what are the odds Bethesda doesn't Bethesda
placid otter
am sure it won't be even close to as bad as that and besides. MS did confirm their much more involved there than redfall
rustic peak
Fallout76 was a fun bug collecting game tho
neon scroll
am sure it won't be even close to as bad as that and besides. MS did confirm the...
MS had to say that after Redfall. Bethesda just hasn't given us any reason to trust them in... idk, about 7 years? And that's only if you count FO4 as a success.

I think the number of skyrim ports was pretty impressive tbh

I think it was more impressive that they consistently had all the same bugs features for all systems
The team is definitely dedicated to consistency
rustic peak
Skyrim to me is probably what botw and totk are to a lot of people right now
I just did not get it
I ran around doing quests and occasionally I even had fun but overall it was completely

warm pumice
Its a hit or miss for peeps
I like Fallout but can't get into Skyrim, I guess its just appeal
celest haven
I think the number of skyrim ports was pretty impressive tbh
I loved the bit at E3 when they got all self aware about it with the ad for the Alexa / Samsung Fridge / Etch-a-Sketch ports
It was so funny
neon scroll
Skyrim caused me to burn out on open world games at least 3 different times. I've never actually finished the main quest line myself.
But not for the lack of trying
I guess my problem is being a completionist with such games
And when half the markers on the map are just the same shit all over again eventually you fizzle out
celest haven
I do not have it in me to play through open worlds like i used to anymore, man
I muuch prefer linear games
Only open world game i could get myself through in the last couple of years was Horizon
neon scroll
Open worlds are just an exercise in radio towers
rustic peak
Open World is definitely a hit or miss concept
For every dark souls 1 you have an assassins creed valhalla
neon scroll
You don't know how often I looked at various Farcry games and went "I really wouldn't mind playing a dumb shooter" and then... didn't cause radio towers.

They almost got me to buy 6 because of Giancarlo... almost.
rustic peak
Ubisoft towers revealing every single little event via a marker has definitely become an overplayed trope now
warm pumice
Dragon Age being open world was enjoyable for me but because you had a party and there was banter, for solo games, it becomes a tricky slope
rustic peak
I dont really mind towers just for the map

DA wasn't true open world til Inquisition

Next banger open world game gonna be silksong
glass knot
Open World games can be interesting but generally it isn't because of their open world

Basically all Farcry games have the same plot anyway. Bad guy takes over island (or in one case rural America) and surpresses poor locals, protagonist doesn't want anything to do with it until people bite the dust in front of him

Elden Ring is a great game but the open world part is also filled with boring repeated fights and dungeons

what about the other games? are they also open world?
Never played them
neon scroll
To be fair, from all I've seen Elden Ring is open world done right. It's just that open world fatigue is real.
rustic peak
From soft made the first half of dark souls 1 and has been trying to catch that lightning in a bottle of world design ever since
glass knot
Elden Ring is just better at guiding you to the interesting content, the open world content is still just repeated questionable content like every other open world game
rustic peak
also the 2v1 boss fight magic of o&s but thats another thing
neon scroll
Now now, like DS games or not, but fromsoft have done a great job in world building every single time
rustic peak
Sure
neon scroll
(for the record, I'm in the "do not like souls games" category)
rustic peak
But ds1 is just insanely good with how interconnected everything is
warm pumice
Ngl, is it better to play the games in that series in release order or in chrono order??
I dont mind going crazy and connecting the dots
rustic peak
Souls games?
celest haven
(for the record, I'm in the "do not like souls games" category)
Cheers, not much of a soulslike guy myself either but i'd immediately cop Bloodborne if they dropped it on PC because holy fuck the aesthetics of that game are crazy
warm pumice
warm pumice
Souls games?
yeah
rustic peak
Hmm
warm pumice
or BB and DS
glass knot
The difference is that Elden Ring has really big properly designed zones inside their open world
But the open world part is meh The little shrine dungeons are bad 90% of the time, the repeated dragon fights really do drag on
rustic peak
I would say if youre starting from zero might as well start with ds1
rustic peak
They arent direct sequels or anything but I think it still helps if you know ds1 at least for ds3
Demon souls, bloodborne and sekiro are all completely seperate lore wise
glass knot
Sekiro my beloved
rustic peak
TRUE

Still best action game I've ever played
Where da Tomoe DLC
Kept talking about her to not have a dlc smh
warm pumice
Wait,Sekiro is in the same universe?
rustic peak
Legit the only game that got no dlc
glass knot
Sekiro is a completely different thing
rustic peak
I just said theyre completely seperate
warm pumice
Misread it,calm down
rustic peak
No ps3 so I never played that
glass knot
Only really played bloodborne, sekiro and elden ring
Bloodborne I played at a friend's house
rustic peak
I hope one day they go back to committing the entire game to one weapon
I had some issues with elden rings boss fight design lol
glass knot
It can be rough
Sekiro definitely their best game imo, combat is just insanely well designed
rustic peak
Especially the new patented "optional follow up combo that only happens when you try to punish a boss attack"
glass knot
Me when Maliketh wont fucking stop doing acrobatics
Definitely some questionable boss design choices on Elden Ring
Radagon and that teleport with two follow ups that have absolutely no tell
rustic peak
2 biggest fuck ups to me are pre nerf radahn and waterfowl dance
That move and malenias lifesteal just completely warp that fight around trying to anticipate it and somehow dodging it by staying far away
glass knot
Malenia definitely a design choice
The Radagon thing just pisses me off because it's an instant teleport where he'll either 1. Instantly hit you or 2. Delay hit you
There's no tell, if you don't roll immediately you'll get hit
But if you roll immediately and it's the delayed one you'll get hit too 
epic 
rustic peak
A few fights have pretty much unavoidable damage yea

Sekiro still peak since playing defensively also actively does damage 
You're always engaging

minor bolt
ps+ been shitting on gamepass lately
placid otter
GP iguess mostly out of intrested ppl that wish to add their titles. ps+ still fresh comparably
neon scroll
GP is just straight up not worth a sub that isn't free/1$ rn
placid otter
no, it still has alot of great games well worth it
neon scroll
Old games don't count towards that worth
placid otter
ofcourse it does. u get the entire library afterall
besides. simply cause they haven't added big big titles, doesn't mean those added are bad. also all the previously added ones are mostly still there.
rustic peak
Think the assumption is that youve played those games
neon scroll
Yes, but we're talking about a breadth of gamers here and for anyone who isn't just straight up a new gamer it is not worth.
placid otter
Think the assumption is that youve played those games
no chance, there is way too many unless that is literally all u do
neon scroll
Those people make up the vast majority of gamers and have played the old games already
rustic peak
I mean any individual isnt gonna want to play literally every game on there
Like them adding fifa23 to gamepass to me has zero value
placid otter
more accurately it is being added to EAplay
neon scroll
Which for that matter isn't even included in the standard gamepass
You need ultimate for that
placid otter
it is included
neon scroll
It wasn't included last time I checked subscriptions. Granted, that has been a little while.
Either way, point still stands, gp in its current state is a steaming pile of shit
For PC anyway. The 5 people with a next gen Xbox are probably happy with it
slate thorn
I still gladly pay for gp :)
It has a lot of great games
And neat boost for league as well
neon scroll
I feel like you're ignoring the point of those games all being years upon years old. Like, what is the most current relevant AAA game on there that you would actually save money on by paying for a monthly sub instead of just buying it on a steam sale? Cause when I go through that library sorted by newest those are still at least 2 yrs old
And all of that doesn't account for the fact that the GP launcher is a technological garbage piece of shit. You can't set languages unless you set the global OS region of your PC, controllers barely work for maybe half the games etc.
placid otter
client being trash is the only thing i can agree on
slate thorn
I havent really had any issues with the client personally
placid otter
it works, but settings, navigating it are all not good
slate thorn
Yeah, navigation can be a bit awkward
But for me, personally, the sub is worth it
For what i get in return
I can certainly see why it's absolutely not worth it for people, but, in my case, I'm happy with it
neon scroll
Basically the tl;dr of GP is this: For anyone who has lots of free time to play old games (kids, possibly college students) or an Xbox it could be worth it.
For anyone who wants to play current games or who has limited amount of free time to play games it is not.
placid otter
not worth it if u cannot finish a game within a month, which is fine. esp considering that persona games are on it for example
neon scroll
And all the fun indie games
Which you all get at a steam sale for, like, 2 bucks, sure
placid otter
or just ur cassual thing that u can constantly play like age of empires, warhammer, forza etc
neon scroll
Which you can also just buy instead and then have the full game with all addons instead of the shitty vanilla version provided by GP most of the time (there are a select few exceptions that include addons)
placid otter
outside of mods am not sure what u mean
neon scroll
Moddability also a big issue for that matter
slate thorn
eh, I still like gamepass and I'll happily continue paying for it for the time being
neon scroll
I mean that if I play, say, Civilization VI on GP I have a vanilla version without the 20 DLCs it has, meanwhile if I just buy it on steam I get the full package for the priize of one monthly sub on a sale.
Which is infinitely more rewarding and content
placid otter
right, one does not have to have it the entire year. use it for a month then move on till ur intrested againg. u get the chance to try out alot for little in comparison.
slate thorn
I mean, it's not like if you have GP you suddenly can't buy games anymore
You can combine the two
placid otter
I mean that if I play, say, Civilization VI on GP I have a vanilla version witho...
sure, but civ 6 is a game u can continue to play for a entire year. if so even full price is well worth it more than buying GP for it. unlike story based games where u have a one time completion experience can easily save alot through gamepass
slate thorn
And as said, switch between it, use GP when it has stuff that interests you, and use steam sales for whatever else
But yeah, for me GP still offers enough that I'm willing to pay for it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
warm pumice
I’m gonna see if my little brother has GP on his Xbox,I want to play the Gears series
Maybe get it on pc,I hate multiplayer but it’s a love/hate thing

Ah so they're still doing the story focused misions with the pve stuff but it's basically just regular pve missions instead of the wacky hero progression system they've shown back in 2019
Never understood how that would work tbh so now that it's gone I'll just never know
celest haven

who are too dumb to reject this bs and just watch the cutscenes on yt

idk, they used to do alot of those for the characters
Granted, that was back when they still cared enough
celest haven
Those were mostly promotional cinematics, not in-game stuff
The PVE mode cutscenes will probably look way more "Videogame custcene-y" rather than the full on movie-level stuff Blizzard usually pushes out
glass knot
Those really don't come often
I'm expecting at most stuff like the new hero origin story cinematics they do
But maybe they end up making some in engine cutscenes who knows

To be fair, on the technical side Zelda is a much less daunting task given the subpar graphics (by modern AAA standards) and other limitations due to the Switch.
Also it's limited to that one platform which makes it infinite times easier to dev for. Still nice they took the time to make sure the gameplay went smoothly though.

The physics in that game are definitely a daunting task to make intuitive and smooth

I mean, thisis vastly preferable to all the AAA games that want you to have a NASA super computer these days and still run like shit. If these system requirements mean the game is well optimized idgaf if it's 100GB
