Anybody play the mm11 demo yet?
It has a stage, 2 boss powers, and rush coil unlocked.

Music doesnt rate against the classics, idk ymmv.
Stage is pretty drat hard. Lots of places where you are encouraged to use bullet time to make it through tho they added super easy difficulty modes where you might not have to.
Boss is ok. Seems more about the spectacle of his giant form than anything else tho.
Art is kinda bland.

Not sure if I'll get it for 30 dollars. Having to manage a cooldown for you slowmo meter is a really weird gimmick for megaman but im interested to see what they do with it beyond the demo level.

Honestly, social media was a mistake. As soon as people are offered a modicum of perceived anonymity they start up some poo poo (storm) because they like to feel part of a group. The topic is not really all that relevant. It's the internet equivalent of joining up to make fun of that one kid in class. Most of the time kids do it to do what the others do.

Like how often will one of these dudes go to the parking garage personnel and complain about the parking spots reserved for women? Never, because they know full well how embarrassingly stupid that is. But as soon as someone starts a Twitter about it, all kinds of morons will join in, just because they can and feel safety in numbers.

tl;dr: ignore social media unless you use it to stay in touch with friends who are far away.

The Guild Wars 2 debacle, the transphobic Cyberpunk 2077 twitter joke, the possibly transphobic and anti-immigration jokes in the Doom Eternal demo 4channers are jerking off to, everything that's going on at Riot, the shooting at the Madden tournament, EA recently cowering to the "a woman with a prosthetic arm in my Hollywood war videogame" crowd. Video games are on a roll this year.

billy hatcher gets many giant eggs, not through obtaining them, but by growing them into giants. he then wastefully abandons them for different eggs

I’m not 100% why either because the idea that they were censoring the word “Nazi” to not hurt Nazi feelings just sounds too stupid to be conceivable

They very recently said they were toning down the "wacky" cosmetic options for Battlefield V obviously referring to the complaints about that soldier with the prosthetic arm in the announcement trailer not realising that most of the people complaining about it are angry that people with disabilities are being represented in some way (no different than the complaints about women and poc) and are using the excuse of ~~their immersion~~ as cover.

Oh, say it ain't fuckin' so,

I thought it was the manbabies complaining that Battlefield 5 cover is featuring a woman with prosthetic arm. It spawned a lot of good articles covering (:haw:) women who fought in WW2 so that's a net positive for me :shrug:

The joke is that the big evil corporation is using passive-aggressive workplace jargon to invite literal Hell on Earth, not that demons = immigrants or w/e. This is clear to anyone who is familiar with Doom 16's brand of satire.

I missed out on Crystal Chronicles during the GCN days so that’s cool. On the other hand I have a habit of buying remasters and abandoning them after the first couple hours, so that’s not so good.
