Pretty sure new episodes are still coming out throughout the rest of the month.

Last episode was neat, nice seeing Tyler showing some character. Finding energems/zords is a pretty fine goal for the team to have, makes them pretty proactive.

This was the last episode til September. Stupid hiatus.

ABOUT THE HIATUS... FROM CHIP LYNN

Look at it this way... there are only 20 episodes per year, and 52 weeks in a year. So, no matter what, you're going to have to take a break.

You could watch the entire season, 20 weeks in a row, and then wait 32 weeks for the next season. Ooooor...

...you could watch 8 episodes, then get to imagine what might be coming next for several months, and then get to watch 12 more episodes to see if you were right. And then, just a couple of months later, an entirely new season begins!

I know that we all like things right here right now, but as the saying goes, "good things come to those who wait." So, please don't give up on us, just have a great spring and summer, and then join us again for more adventure. We've been working really hard to make this season unlike any other, and I'd hate for you to miss out. (And that's not just a line, we really are trying to make it fresh and new!!!) Thanks! Chip

Decided to marathon the new series with a friend since I've been hearing good things about it. At some point he ended up screaming "SON OF A gently caress!" in a dead-on impression of Fury's voice and it made me realize that Power Rangers would be ten times better as an obscenity-riddled Sentai parody.

Still a great season thus far, though. This team is worryingly competent.

Crossposting from the Toku thread:

Anyone know of a good replacement for a morpher toy wrist strap? I can barely fit the Morphin Brace strap around my not-a-Japanese-child wrist and would love to have something bigger for cosplaying. Ebay is turning up replacement straps identical to the one that shipped with the toy, but I was thinking maybe something longer and perhaps leather?

Yes. However, maybe wait a couple days until the first patch hits because there's a couple potentially game-breaking bugs.

It's just magical that they made the "inspired by power rangers" credit in a font that is nearly invisible against the title screen background half the time.

To be fair, there are a few things it does that seem more PR than sentai, but I severely doubt that the choice to make the blowhard that has the team quit and make their own studio to begin with was always named Mi Ah.

Probably the thing I've noticed most in my play through is that sometimes, numbers just won't update properly. Whether its your salary (ie, it sometimes claims I'm starting with 0 rather than the several thousand I just made), or the weapons you're trying to compare (as in I've bought the team some equipment, and then I'm offered the chance to buy it and somehow still raise their stats again, if the game were to be believed). I've powered through all the same to season 5, but it certainly hasn't helped with trying to work on my team's build. Thankfully, studio upgrades are universal.

There are a tonne of shout outs and choice names in this game, some more meaningful than others. In Mi Ah's case, note how a lot of the criticisms can be applied to Saban 2.0

Also, if you want to take screenshots, it looks like you'll have to use Steam's own system, since I've tried others and just gotten the desktop behind it. Regardless, after all that, I humbly present the best (name for a) monster in the game:

Bugs apparently are that some of the Director's instructions (Major boost to audience) are bugged. Biggest bug is apparently late game (not that far into the game) and the Mecha bug (it doesn't correctly equip the right parts).

What was the fix, is it something else besides upgrading the part you want at its highest tier?

Nah, for me at least, you just gotta futz with it and reselect what you want. Might have to do it more than once, but it's more just an annoyance.

I DID straight up have to restart the season 3 finale though. At a certain point when the Lead was the only one standing, the cut scene straight up refused to do anything else and the camera went to the side, so I had to redo the episode. The game didn't freeze, but the cut scene just...stopped

I spent a long while not getting it until just now that I tried reading it backwards. That's loving glorious.

Most I'm dealing with is that any auto-save brings the game to a full stop for a good two seconds or so and I keep worrying that it's crashing, also episodes never end up telling me how much money I made last time, always says 0 there and the audience is 50/50 on whether it'll tell me or show 0. Gonna wait for a patch before doing the season 3 finale then, I'm at S3E3 and can wait a bit.

The game is tons of fun, though a bit too many memes and just got who I assume is a kickstarter backer character to help on a mission who was too obviously a backer. The other two helpers were way cooler.

They really use the "a kickstarter backer shows up to help during the mission" thing way too many times.

Though it's kind of all made worth it by the Gravel Monster mission in Season 4.

I would have been way happier if every one of those guys was another "I'm the 6th Ranger of some other sentai" the way Galax-Silver was. I don't wanna have a crossover battle with some shmuck and his Math-Axe.

Also, who was that guy in the third season who shows up and revives the party after the TV monster fucks everybody up on the rooftop?
Was that a reference I didn't get, or was it just another kickstarter backer? :confused:

My Chroma Squad is inadvertently pretty drat progressive in terms of casting for PR:

- Lead by a black woman (Color: Red)
- Second in command (Assault) is a unconventional-looking white woman (green hair) (Color: Green)
- Black dude as the Tech-Head (Color: Blue)
- White woman as the healer (Color: White)
- Asian man as the nimble, acrobatic scout (Color: Silver)

Honestly, I think that's going to happen just because of how finite the amount of actors there are, if you're min-maxing at all. "Guy with the best tech abilities? Put him in the tech role!"

Not going to lie, it kinda bugs me that almost every character is a pastiche of some famous actor or character. PR actors (generally) start out as nobodies and end their PR careers in the same way.

The game is more based on Sentai, and Sentai actors have a history of moving on to very mainstream and popular things. The game thinks japanese conventions have Mazinger Z and Big One statues at their front entrance.
