Me enjoying this thread:

The car horn gag is still funny to me, but I gotta admit. That slide whistle sound effect is on point.

NBA 2K24

F-ZERO 99

UNICORN OVERLORD

BRAVELY DEFAULT

OGRE BATTE 64

Cancels several projects? Besides GTA, what were they working on?

Also, layoffs seem to be a common thing in the industry lately.

Wonder how my stats would look to this data. Brand new AAA single player game one week, 25 year old JRPG the next, then a 24 year old online RPG followed by it's 3-12 year old sequel (depending on how you look at it) followed by a hardcore survival horror RPG maker game, a fairly new procgen indie detective game, a 7 year old imsim, and 350 separate hentai games.

Pretty much the same for me, but instead of an old online RPG, it’d be an old 1v1 fighting game.

Same for everything else.

Man I hope I can get into people's garages and piss on their boxes.

Good luck today! It’s pretty easy once you jimmy the lock and slip under the door (don’t roll it all the way up). Plus you‘d be surprised how many people just leave their garage doors open all day.

…oh! Wait, did you mean in the game?!

Tomorrow @GameDadGrant can play the definitive smeared with Vaseline version of Grounded!

 

 

Vaseline-o-vision games? Ah, that takes me back to the N64 days...

I tried the demo for this and it was probably the worst gaming experience I've ever had. A completely and utterly incomprehensible "narrative," literal clipart for world map stuff, voice acting so abysmal it'd make Chaos Wars jealous, combat that's super zoomed in so you can never actually read what's going on, even when attacking enemies. Just a total clusterfuck of garbage on every level, with a godawful mobile UI to boot. What a huge piece of shit.

Every single one of these fucking Youtube videos has 10 times the polish and total budget of the game itself. The fucking thumbnails have more effort than the entirety of the plot.

Tell us how you really feel.

Steam exclusive?

Who is getting this?

I would if there was a Switch version. I’m not turning on my freakin’ PS5 to play TENNIS. I don’t care how good it is.

There is an outside chance I pick it up on Steam, but likely not until a price drop or sale.

@chakoo

I'm in a similar situation. But instead of a lot of PC-Engine games, I have a decent collection of Neo Geo Pocket Color games. And no Lynx games. I might be buying some Lynx games soon, too. Know any good ones?

I was out and about today and picked up World of Hitman and Pikmin 4. I might have a Quick Look at the eshop sale and see if anything grabs me…namely whether I actually want FF9 and FF6 on my Switch.

Is there a reason you WOULDN’T want FF6 and FF9 on Switch? 
 

Heh heh. FF6/9. As in…FF69. Heheheheheh.

…I’ll show myself out.

These guys can throw FIREBALLS and you're worried someone would tug on your beard? Get your priorities straight man!

I mean, even then, the extra hair could pose a problem…wouldn’t want those whiskers catching fire, right? lulz

Though to be fair, not all Street Fighters can throw fireballs, so…*shrugs*

I’ve only played a bit and I'm enjoying it but could do without the combat. That first battle was annoying with constantly having someone off-screen that you need to fight. Other than that I love how much this game tries to be a spiritual sequel to JSR(F) games, it's why I picked up a copy.

Yeah the boss battles are annoying for sure. 

The eShop has a sale going on so I randomly downloaded the following:

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Borderlands Collection

DOOM Eternal
 

Don’t ask me why I don’t know.

Great game, and a me I’ve started several times over in the past. Never beat it, though.

I kind of agree, it looks silly.

Right? Not to mention it’s impractical. It would never come up in actual gameplay, but would you really want a bunch of easily accessible, grippable hair all over your head that your opponent could easily grab and throw you around?

Yes, I am convinced Capcom’s World Warriors are not above hair-pulling.

Maybe one of his alt costumes. They do have the classic Ryu and Ken in the game that are nice cleaned up boys, they could have that for Akuma

Agreed. And if they want to keep him with white/grey (gray?) hair, fine. Just keep it short and no beard. 
 

I don’t know why a beard on Ryu I have no problem with, but on Akuma I take a stance on. Maybe he just seems more menacing without the facial hair to me.

I recently got back into Bravely Default. Yeah, the first one. On 3DS. 
 

Why?

Well, I had thought I had this one beaten already. But I stumbled across some info online and…apparently I got the FALSE ending my first time around?!?! There are multiple endings in this game. Huh. Did I not know this before, or did I forget?

Anyway, I did some things different from my last save and…yeah, there’s more adventure left! Like, a lot of it. So I’m back to this old game…which to my surprise is over 10 years old at this point.
 

That fact makes me feel older than I’d care to admit.  

Still not a fan of the “Bushy Beard/Lion’s Mane” look on Akuma. 
 

I mean, I get that he‘s all WARRIOR-DEMON and getting a beard trim or haircut isn’t exactly on his priority list. But…I dunno. I don’t like it. Looks dumb to me.
 

Which is disappointing since I’ve been loving all of SF6’s other character model updates. Oh well.

 Will companies stop putting stuff on sale! I'm running out of space for my switch backlog...

 

Recent switch physical adds over the past week:

* Star Ocean The Second Story R

* Made In Abyss

* Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

* Demon Slayer- The Hinokami Chronicles

Nice! Let us know how you feel about Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I bought that when it launched and played it for an hour or so. To me, it was a little “stiff” but once I got used to it, I was having fun. 
 

It gave me pretty good Jet Grind Radio vibes so that helped in the ye olde “Fun Factor.”

Man I haven't played this for a week and I'm still further than that.

This game is going to take me a while to get through. Mostly because I’m an idiot when it comes to my gaming time management. I’m currently juggling three RPGs at once right now so it’s making progress a um, slow process. 

Just added a new member to my army, and took down the gluttonous Gaston. Who didn't at all look like the guy from Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast.' 

Scarlett's rescue is incoming.

They made an Xbox version of the game, but not one for Switch?!

Go home, Square-Enix. You're drunk.

Nintendo doesn't do pro consoles. 

True-ish…does the Expansion Pak on the N64 count as a “Pro?” Haha probably not but it’s the closest thing!

That said, they have done “Pro” handhelds many times in the past. Kinda weird that Switch didn’t have one. (Or maybe it was going to but chip supplies were too low, so we just got the OLED model instead?)

And I know, everyone thinks the Switch is a console, but look at that thing. It’s a damn handheld with a TV dock, lol
