I played XBC1 about four times before it finally clicked, enjoyed it thoroughly up until I got to Mechonis, and then promptly lost all interest when the open and colorful world turned grey and linear, or at least much more restricted in movement. Never finished it after that.

I tried playing XBCX and got extremely turned off by how much more desperately anime it was and the instant they introduced the 12 year old girl who is actually a mechanical genius I returned the game and never looked back.

Doom has the entire single player on the cart and you have to download the multiplayer.

Wish they'd done this on PS4 to be honest, the game has a nearly 90gb install. Ain't nobody playing DOOM for the multiplayer.

They have to be just messing around, at least if it sounded kind of cool it would be passable but it's just terrible. Do any western devs title their games with bullshit Japanese? Someone should.

Hahaha, well it holds true for me, maybe it's a part of getting older or busier or whatever but XC1 was my last 'favorite' RPG, outside of maybe SMT 4 / Apocalypse

Yeah, but when I saw the upcoming DLC is going to be a sure-to-be-feel-bad prequel starring the animacho FFXV rejects, I finally realized I can't stand XC2 and will never play it again after 300 hours of mindless character grinding.
Also, the swimsuits for female characters is revolting on the worst anime level as any Senran Kagura tittyfest.

I also don't think XCX is salvageable.

Nope, unfortunately. I've got a USB port at my seat but I don't have a cable to take advantage of that

Yeah if you think they are on the level of SK, you don’t know much about SK.

For swimsuit DLC they are surprising chaste.

Did it just change? Pretty sure that says Snake Pass which I heard was pretty good and what started the Switch Home Icon thing.

switch home icon thing? is that where people require the icon to have text for some reason?

bushisms.txt
May 26, 2004

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


They want text because certain games have abstract icons, and unless you physically move the cursor over a game, especially while looking at the complete library, you won't know what game it is.

Like look at Sonic mania. When Sega ages starts releasing Sonic games, there's a chance we get multiple sonic head icons. It's something super simple to fix, and is something nintendo suggests in their icon guidelines. They don't enforce them because they're not trying to cramp devs style, but like the other poster said, the snake pass icon is better for the change.

The new dyk gaming video explains really well why advance wars is dead. Every entry we got in the west was cancelled for japanese release for a number of dumb nintendo circumstances despite having full japanese translations in the game files so what we think of as classic games were either years late or non existent in japan because of dumbo poo poo like AW going gold too soon after gameboy wars 3 launched and stuff like that.
