The edition size for this piece is 50. What?

I see what you mean in general but this sentence is fine. They're only making 50 of this edition of these statues, so the edition size is 50. If you were to buy one it would be numbered 37/50 or whatever.

shit

Is PS5 worth it

Not really tbh

Jackbox ass answer :/

I was already planning on not renewing my PSN+ because it feels worthless, and now they're raising the price? Lol

Not to mention the possibility of Trump not getting the nomination somehow, which would drop Biden's chances quite a bit.

Honestly I think this raises Biden's chances. A lot of 2020 Trump voters will write-in Trump or just not vote in this scenario.

Like, I always loved in Kirby Super Star where you take down the Halberd while the entire crew is screaming over the comms.

Pretty similar to this example: the Star Fox 64 level where the team gives up on entering Venom stealthily and instead just blasts through the entire armada head on. The two bosses start off cocky and just get increasingly panicked as the stage goes on.

The Vagrant (Steam)

I dunno, this game kinda sucks honestly. The writing is bad and has weird formatting issues, character designs... bad (rest of the game is pretty though), music unexceptional, difficulty very uneven, combat is mashy. It's also tagged on Steam as a metroidvania but it's not any more of one than, like, River City Girls, and arguably less than that. I think I paid a dollar for it though so it's fine.

Prob nothing for me but ABZU and HL2:E1 are both great and worth playing for anyone who hasn't already

Damn

TIL I can stream my PS5 to my Steam Deck

I've been spending a bunch of my free time lately making earrings but I finally got back into case 3. Man, normallium and fatallium sure are names right up there with incuritis from AJ.

I can't figure out Justine's deal yet. I assume a face turn is in the cards for her but right now she just feels superfluous. Antagonists need to be more than empty threats and catch phrases to be interesting, it turns out.

upon a time

Definitely genre

After that: publisher/developer might stop me from buying a game, but I might still play it if I got it for free, while being too long won't stop me from buying the game but definitely makes me procrastinate on playing it. And if a multiplayer game is online multi only that's a complete deal breaker. So I guess one of those is my back up answer.

The hardware gets some of the blame in the sense that I'm sure some devs go "oh it's on Switch? yeah I'm not putting in effort then" but I'm sorry to inform you that they would be doing exactly that with a hypothetical Switch 2 also

You seriously can't see the difference between acting in a hollywood film and voicing video games?

it was really just a dig at chris pratt but now that you mention it yeah i think these are exactly 100% the same actually

Ashethan posted...

Pratt is way too expensive.

I agree but they paid him for a full movie so *shrug*

Yes, especially if the reason I can't beat it is just high difficulty. For example, I loved Necrodancer and would recommend it but that game destroyed me. I think story is an interesting case because certain story turns can kill a game for me but I might still recommend it for others, or conditionally.

It's also easy for a game to be good for reasons other than the story mode, especially with e.g. fighting or FPS games, but that doesn't feel exactly in the spirit of the question.

it will definitely not be any of these people

Chris Pratt is plausible tbh (though I still wouldn't bet on it).

Would they even need to find a new VA right away for Mario and the other characters? Surely with all the years of recordings, they could get by with re-using old voice lines for these characters because it's not like the Mario series is known for its characters having fully voiced dialogue.

My understanding is that this is not best practices for voice acting. They could probably get away with it in Mario without it sounding too terrible, but typically it sounds incredibly strange even in cases where you'd think it wouldn't matter (for example, there was one Simpsons episode where they had to reuse one of Homer's screams -- and even though it's just a contextless scream, it sounds incredibly out of place and "fake", even to fans who don't know it was reused).

They couldn't have Martinet voicing all of Mario's lines in Mario RPG

...Why not? Or do you just mean with already existing recordings?

YoBlazer posted...

I think this is Nintendo's decision to pursue a new creative direction for Mario. Charles Martinet was like a gleeful little kid any time he was in public; he never would have voluntarily retired from this role.

I briefly met him last year at a con and yeah I agree with this take.

After giving it some thought, I'll give some honorable mentions to Running Man, Solidus Snake, Decoy Octopus, and The End (which is silly because the Cobras are supposed to be emotions).

Having not played much of either series I always forget Decoy Octopus isn't a Mega Man X boss

Hi-Fi Rush?

"big ocean" is nothing really but it's still what i thought of first

GRIME (Steam)

A pretty good Souls-like metroidvania. This game really really wants to be Dark Souls in a way that's, like, slightly embarrassing. Even the menu UI is extremely similar to Dark Souls. The story is also standard Dark Souls fare which is a little unfortunate because the ideas and setting are extremely original and interesting, but the way it's told is a pretty middling execution of the typical silent protag, cryptic dialogue, tidbits of lore, etc.

The ending situation is also pretty dire. The ending where you get the smallest morsel of character development and DON'T destroy civilization is the bad ending?? the achievement for that one kinda insults you?? bizarrely sour ending note. I went back and did the other one and it's a much more complete ending but really undermines the game's plot so idk.

This is a hard game and for the most part it's fair, but the further you get the more the jank really gets noticeable. Grime also wants to be Hollow Knight, but it just does not have the flawless controls or the clean aesthetic of that game, so you end up dying a lot because you can't tell what's going on or finagle the controls to do what you want. There's a lot of weirdness to the controls you'll just have to get used to, also, like how attacking interacts with the double jump (some weapons just won't let you attack a second time in midair even after a double jump, which is like... metroidvania heresy or something), or how hovering is mapped to pointing RS in any direction. A lot of other complaints I might have had seem to have been fixed in the post-launch patches/free DLCs, so that's good. Definitely the right time to play this if you haven't before.

I did pretty much everything that didn't involve NG+ or a world-spanning fetchquest to get every single weapon and armor for pointless achievements. Despite my complaints I enjoyed Grime a lot and I'm interested to see what Clover Bite does next.

Fine!

I would love to hear your pronunciations of these words

Sang is like sat, hang is like hay. I think specifically in the word "hanged" I might pronounce it without the long A sound? Hard to say.

MacArrowny posted...

craziest statement in the topic yet?

I mean, they're close enough that you could rhyme them in a song or poem and not think twice about it. But yeah it's a different vowel sound for me.

How about hung and sung?

Those are a perfect rhyme lol

The pacing of both AAI games is pretty rough I agree.

I actually remember the first one being pretty snappy (with the notable exception that happens in case 5 that everyone knows about). Haven't played it since it came out though. I probably should have replayed it before starting AAI2 to get a refresher on the plot and a better point of comparison, but oh well.

Pokmon TCG - Oh hey I finally got a master medal. Tonight I beat rock club member Ryan, rock club master Gene, and grass club member Brittany. Brittany was quite easy by comparison.

I went 6-1 against Gene and I barely lost my Nidorino before immediately finishing him off with Kingler. At one point in these battles Rhyhorns leer prevented me from attacking eight out of 10 times thanks to the damn coin. That battle shouldve ended more quickly no doubt.

Building a deck is kinda fun but they really shouldve allowed you to use a card in multiple decks. That is legit annoying. Its not like you can switch decks mid-battle or something.

Im going to try to pick up the pace with this game a bit.

Master medals won: 1
Album: 96/226
Play time: 3:12

My memory of this game is that the difficulty curve is kinda pathetic. Once your deck is good enough to beat one gym you'll pretty quickly snowball into making the rest of the game a joke. Haven't played this in legitimately 20+ years though so I could be remembering wrong!

I'm option 1 and hang and sang are not a perfect rhyme for me, no.

I do like them when they're long though. Spirit of Justice is the best game in the main series for me, and I adore how it's last case is so extensive.

The funny thing about Spirit of Justice is that its pacing actually does recover in the final case. The first four cases are paced horribly IMO but the final one is actually two cases so it feels pretty breezy compared to the rest of the game.

AAI1 and Dual Destinies aren't exactly short games but they're only a few hours longer than, say, AA3. And it's important to keep in mind that part of what makes AA2 and AJ short is that they only have four cases. Per case Dual Destinies isn't much longer than AJ.

Spirit of Justice (and, seemingly, Investigations 2) just go off the deep end.

I just did the first investigation of case 3 but the game's pacing is killing me.

Case 1 was interesting but dragged near the end.

Case 2 dragged the entire way through and it didn't help that everyone was being extra incompetent. Definitely Edgeworth at his dumbest. Also the premise was sooo stupid. Just kind of a disaster of a case all around.

I'm liking case 3 so far but god I hope the pacing improves.

Fuck

If the question was actually phrased like this then yeah of course nobody would say they're different, and nobody would vote differently either. I guarantee you absolutely nobody is being fooled by the "heart sticker".

But the actual phrasing is:

Red button >50% Death to blue
Heart button No effect

And then:

Blue button >50% Everyone lives
Skull button <50% Death to skull
