What kind of viewer numbers do the SBF streams get? I'm watching the archives for the demons souls stuff(setting it to 1.25 speed makes it a lot easier to watch) but the chat scrolls super fast even at regular speed.

They were like at 10th place the first time they streamed Demons' Souls. That's really good since they're not doing MOBAs or Minecraft, and there was some sort of tournament going on.

I really hope Woolie does play the Ninja Storm games; he can finish Naruto in a way that might actually be enjoyable on some level, then read the surprisingly decent one-shots that come after, which should be just enough for him to believe that maybe Boruto won't be that bad, just in time to watch it totally and completely poo poo the bed forever literally on its very first page.

sigh. :smith: I should've listened to him.

It's a fine game, but certainly not a 40 dollar game. I enjoyed Korra for what it was (fifteen dollar Platinum experience), it felt like a character action game while this one, well, it's closer to a beat-'em-up, you do objectives (most of the time hold b to disarm bombs), fight bad guys with what feels like the same moveset for every character, doesn't really feel like there's any reason to not be Mikey, and then you get to bosses, which again feel more beat 'em up than character action, since all the turtles are hanging around together you can't really focus as much on the tells, you see the orange flash and for me that's time to bail because with everyone else jumping around and taking hits I don't feel confident to stay for a perfect dodge that lets me do tons of damage. Bosses then turn more into resource management, like switch to a weak turtle so they get sent out of commission and eat pizza so they get a full health bar after half a minute instead of a quick revival where they'll go back to their shells after one hit.

The big pull is, of course, playing multiplayer with it, but good luck convincing people to put down fifty or forty bucks for a beat 'em up with not that many moves and ten stages? online is as dead as you'd imagine, possibly due to a far superior online multiplayer game coming out at the same time.

I'm really trying to cope with the fact that I could've saved these forty steam bucks and gotten a bunch of stuff i'm missing next steam sale. Wingnut is making it hard to do so.

I was confused because that wasn't remotely what I read back when Boruto debut, and it turns out what I read was the last thing Kishimoto wrote. The new whatever Boruto Generations is not by him.

Hey remember when Mighty Number 9's gimmick was that you were going to get small temporary upgrades and weapons from the parts of normal enemies you killed and THAT's how you'd get through the levels? Remember how that was the big cool thing they were kind of pitching the game with? I know it's why I backed it because that's a neat thing in a mega man style game.

Anyway turns out that poo poo got cut and none of that is gonna be in the final game.

To be fair, reading Homestuck was the worst investment simply because of the time involved.

You beat me to it, but CLANG, the Neil Stephenson sword fighting game, is probably the unqualified worst. But that was so obvious from the word go, it's forgettable.

MN9 is easily the most disappointing KS project to be completed, what a clusterfuck.

I won't pass complete judgement until it's out and playable, although at this point I don't know if I'll even play it since it's not what was advertised initially. It could still be a decent game in the end.

However, the way they've handled it is about as poorly as they could have possibly done so, short of outright illegal bullshit like the house buying guy, the pictures for sad children dude losing his mind and burning the books he was supposed to send out, or Far West which will never ever actually be an actual thing

Or Star Citizen which rapidly oscillates between a scam for some sort of mafia or a scam for Chris Roberts to raise money for him to finally realize his Hollywood dreams, but either way that game is never coming out anywhere near what was promised, outlined, or however you want to call it.

I think Shounen Jump is sweating a bit because for years they've kind of planted their feet on the three big long-running series (One Piece, Naruto and Bleach). Now Naruto is over, Bleach is consistently one of the lowest-rated manga out there because it's loving terrible, and a lot of the newer big hits like Assassination Classroom and, apparently, My Hero Academia actually have pacing that doesn't last for decades. This Naruto fanfic comic (because that's what it is, terrible fanfiction) looks like an attempt to wring blood from a stone.
