@SplooshDmg great but she hit me. I want my car fixed :c

@SplooshDmg that won’t be obvious at all. Nope bearded ladies are perfectly normal on this day and age.

@SplooshDmg won’t work. I can’t grows mustache and it might look a little weird with my other “assets”.

@SplooshDmg well the girl that hit my car and didn’t have a license is claiming I hit her and my insurance say unless the police report magically says she’s at fault I’m out a grand.

@SplooshDmg I don’t know I’m kind of in a rock and hard place right now with other none gaming things. And

@Ralizah yeah that’s why I can’t play it ._. I need my fix now.

@Ralizah Genshin isn’t even done either. Like the main story plot is no wheee near close to being complete. I don’t want to play something that has no ending ever

@SplooshDmg @NEStalgia aren’t there two models and the other one is 599?

@UltimateOtaku91 Well it’s not like I’ve never owned Playstation. I have a Vita. Not exactly something people purchase if they hate a brand. I’m not anti-Sony or some stupid thing. I just don’t see a compelling reason to get more than what I have current. Now if Sony wants to release a slim model at 399, and their library somehow gets something I have to have sure. But at the moment my Switch/Xbox gets anything I care about KH4 might break that but who knows.

@UltimateOtaku91 hmmm sure you won’t.

@SplooshDmg not sure if you knew about the Ally and was trying lot to derail this as much as I have lol. I really need a price. There are also a few other devices that don’t get as much attention that are similar that I’m looking at but eh.

Not sure about that now.

@SplooshDmg which is where I am at. I want a PC but I don’t exactly have the room. But everything I want to play is on PC. I’m really on the fence about Steam Deck. .

@SplooshDmg @NEStalgia and I’m never going to hear the end of it from @UltimateOtaku91. No thanks. He’ll laugh that one to his grave.

But in all honesty. Im not interested in their lineup of games either. Sure some exclusives from third party but God of War does nothing for me. I guess his nice to look at? But my dream was never to run around as a half naked man yelling Boy and avenging my wife. Nor do I get zombies unless they’re cute. Otherwise nope Zombies just aren’t my thing.

@Ralizah absolutely MS has great lineup of smaller and medium level titles. The Marque titles are the issue which even Gears isn’t. And Redfall was never going to be. Let’s be real a vampire looter shooter isn’t that.

My issue is that while they don’t want to stifle creativity someone over there needs to have the bravado to say hey you know this game maybe needs to be scoped down by a lot. Somewhere over there needs to stop over hyping games.

@Ralizah Nintendo arguably is the most inventive of the three when it comes to gameplay. As well as the most diverse in the terms of what they publish. For every Mario Kart game, there is a game like Mario circuit to go with it. I mean Labo? They also publish the widest range of genres.

@SplooshDmg Xbox does and I’m willing to talk about how annoyed I am with them. It’s more than gone. They are lower than they were before. Releasing Redfall in this state is an unmitigated disaster. Bethesda needs a much firmer hand than they have had recently.

If this isn’t Xbox wake up call I don’t know what is.

@SplooshDmg I don’t think either of you guys are disputing that.. I don’t think any one I regularly speak to is. The only one I was pointing that out to was the other person who brought up Nintendo in the first place (not me) like they have no dirty laundry. I’m just saying don’t bring up any of those corps like they are perfect. The triple A industry sucks. They all look the other way if they get money. That’s issue.

@SplooshDmg @Ralizah Here’s the thing my only point literally my only points is that it’s reflection on their brand. Nintendo went out an apologizes for it and then said they were going to work on fixing it. But haven’t. There is no motivation.just like there is no motivation to oversee the end product. The triple A industry simply doesn’t care and Nintendo is just as motivated not to care when something is making them a ton of money.

@old-dad really so you didn’t say “ Sony and Nintendo have people in charge who used to make games not play twitter” back in post #35?

Yeah that’s what I thought. And I can’t believe you just excused a game releasing with a lack of content. You are ridiculous

@Tharsman or shipping emulated games as a “rare” physical?

@Ralizah The game reflected poorly on Nintendo. and they apologized for it. It’s a IP that is as intertwined with Nintendo and a reflection on their brand. Otherwise why apologize? Nintendo are ones people expected to answer for it and still do. And Nintendo again is the one that apologized for it.
“

@old-dad you brought up Nintendo first. But cute. You made it a what about-ism when you tried to make Nintendo the white Lily Corp. I said Xbox deserves the L and they do. I wouldn’t even commented had you not made it a what about-ism.

Hey @UltimateOtaku91 you an Xbot now?

@UltimateOtaku91 @Ralizah I know that Nintendo doesn’t outright own GameFreak. But they do own a part of the Pokémon IP and Nintendo published it. It’s as much on Nintendo that Scarlrt and Violet are broken as ir is on GameFreak. That’s what I’m saying.

@old-dad OMG you did not just do that. Wow see that’s the problem. All of that companies have issues. I’m going call them out. MS/Xbox takes an L on this But Don’t bring up Nintendo, if you don’t expect me to go through their laundry list of sins. That’s the problem with the Triple A industry. Fans like you act like certain companies are perfect.

The industry is trash right now. We need to hold the accountable.

@old-dad explain to me why the bugs in Scarlet and Violet still aren’t fixed?

@nomither6 unfortunately yes. Im sick of fox it later.

@SplooshDmg @Sakisa agreed ! Really excited for Double Fine’s Projects.

@SplooshDmg I don’t know Tango might be fighting them for that title. But yeah It’s good solid machine studio. I love the t they can have big projects and little ones.

@SplooshDmg I do have the strongest faith in Obsidian. And it’s not lien Grounded or Pentiment were bad. All signs point to a good strong maybe.

@SplooshDmg I’m GPU f yo try and start a dialogue with you hopefully no one decides to make commentary

I think Avowed had a good chance of being there. I think it’s a 2024 title. 😊

@SplooshDmg I can’t add anything that hasn’t been said it’s just disgusting at this point. Like people question HiFi success, and it’s clear they were because they get to expand. But you know why the question even exists? Because MS didn’t come out and show how well that game did for them.

But hey I know you can buy a Redfall controller. No HiFi one. And trust I’ve seen how well controllers sell for them 54k in one month. It’s worth it but why didn’t Hi Fi get one? At this point? Like they still could have shadow dropped then done what Nintendo did with Metroid Prime and ship a physical later.

Nothing.

@SplooshDmg I don’t disagree. They always seem so focused on the wrong things. I mean I get good co-op games probably generate more engagement. But that’s going to be word of mouth. Single player games need more marketing it. Also you know physicals.

You have a great game from studio ready to take it to the next level and MS investing in them more, but their game wasn’t marketing nor properly sold in stores.

Then you have a b-tier game from a household name studio, and it terrible. What little marketing MS has gets thrown there o_O

And the image of shooter box continues despite the last few shooters being lack luster.

@SplooshDmg well I got my game which is t Triple A with Hifi Rush.I wasn’t exciting for this. But of course, I’m the minority not the majority. I had more fun with Slime Rancher 2. FPS games have to be solid 60 for me to really think about playing them and no lost much lunch ._.

@SplooshDmg personally or for Xbox?

@SplooshDmg well I’m sure it was a aSploosh fall when you got down. So that makes sense.

@SplooshDmg that must have giving you and interesting view point.

@SplooshDmg nope not at all. Don’t mind me mailing your feet to the floor. Just stay right where you are stranger.

@NEStalgia I think the issue is the hands off approach which I think works for say the Forza teams or Obsidian, and I think it works well. But this game always looked like something didn’t make sense. At first it was too much like Back for Blood, then it was the Co-op issues for a team who os not the best Co-op games. It’s not GP, it’s just no one ising their brains and saying yeah maybe not be co-op. Maybe be single player. Not to mention a lot of these feels like B projects that maybe should be cast in the spotlight.

Another issue is some studios have delivered games Tango, Obsidian, etc but they aren’t the brass ring games. Neither is Redfall, but I feel like everyone is acting like this was going to be when they always knew it wouldn’t be. I mean no expected it this broken but, let’s be real, again this was always a B project.

@SplooshDmg at least you remember my name.

@nomither6 and that’s where I disagree. I’ll give you a recent example FE: Engage really didn’t have a story, the characters were okay, but the core gameplay was solid. I really enjoyed the experience and yes the story was “uninspired”, but the gameplay loop was addictive. And as much as story is cool on top of the game I don’t need a good story for a platformer, fighting game, racing game, puzzle game, or even a rhythm game. I just want a fun experience in those cases. I can watch a movie or read a book for a good story, but I can’t play book.

However I will say the vast amount of general John Q players tend favor graphics and other things like frame rates. Buggy games are often overlooked for shiny

@NEStalgia unfortunately. Thing is I knew this game was going to be broken at launch. I knew they should have delayed it longer. How does anyone not see that! Yet I have to assume some where the metrics show it doesn’t matter. People still bought Cyberpunk Broken and Pokémon still not fixed. But you know details.

@NEStalgia games haven’t lost their magic. I just think people forgot the most important part about games being good- the gameplay.

The triple A industry needs a big wake up call. Maybe this year does it with some many broken games launching left and right. Maybe not.

But I do know there is bunch of titles I’m looking forward to and a bunch I’ve played. None in the triple A space and yet I’m satisfied.

@UltimateOtaku91 MS would have been fine for a delay. I say this because MS delayed Forza and Starfield again.

@FatalBubbles I wouldn’t say I’m not a fan. I just understand where someone may come from. Me personally I find it weirds something like Outer Worlds is considered an RPG but something like LAD Isshi isn’t. Or Xenoblade Chronicles 1 an RPG. Again I understand where people come from.

But as I said @NEStalgia I’d in novel writing mode, so you’re in for a few posts .

@FatalBubbles it looks like Square Enix game to me. Sure, I’ll give you that. However, it doesn’t look a Final Fantasy game.

Open World games might have been limited prior to PS2 But action? No. The Mana series was action based. It’s also Co-op. It’s the first JRPG I played. They had an option back then to turn FF action based. But didn’t.

The issue is a lot of “charm” for many with FF with an FF game is taking a base level n00b party and turning them into your own god-slayer machine, playing mini games or side quest to further your own understanding of their dynamic, building something perfectly tailored through painstakingly micro management. It sounds boring to some but to another group it’s the pleasure of playing the game. If they wanted the action genre they’d opt for Bayo or DMC.

That said I do think this entry will be something of a good middle ground but, I can understand the hesitation.

@FatalBubbles two things

A) you asked @NEStalgia what they want? Are nuts? NES could write an entirely book on what NES wants in a forum and not be done.

B) Back then? Limited? Exactly what do mean? Morrowind era? That came out in 2002. I mean it’s not Japanese but it fits the rest of your qualities

@NEStalgia pretty sure GameFreak holds that title.

@SplooshDmg I see well that makes sense.

@SplooshDmg Not that I don’t agree with you because I feel the exact same way one this topic. However wasn’t Youngblood consider bad because of its story not so much it’s gameplay? If I recall the two sisters acted more like meatheads and rubbed people the wrong way. But I didn’t play it, so…

@UltimateOtaku91 knew it was coming in hot when they delayed the 60fps mode. Of course it follows a trend of games being broken a launch so why not another.

Those nails 😍

I like the controller too…

@NEStalgia oh it’s gets in-Swiss cheese yes but you have to let it evo le.

@SplooshDmg a yet it works. Just let Mam explain.

@SplooshDmg lol oh that Swiss cheese. I definitely didn’t see it coming. Tama is amazing though. Did you see the YouTube clip of the other AI dancing? It didn’t make the game but it’s in the code.

@SplooshDmg @NEStalgia I can’t wait till he gets the twist. That’s going to really mind f*** him.

@NEStalgia oh I’m not doubting the sticker., the box thought.

That said they also said 60fps on the website. One of the podcast I watch went back with the way back machine and saw the website promoting it. Of that I do agree it was supposed to have 60 and I think there will be more issues….

@SplooshDmg oh I wasn’t talking about the sticker.

@SplooshDmg yeah no the 0 don’t match and the spacing is too larger. Also there is artifacting around it.

It’s fake.

@NEStalgia I don’t know. I don’t try to understand politics or what the the overall thinking is. Now O await next month because depending on the WV we may or may not get a resolution. I want a resolution. There is too much drama ;(
