Because you have to embrace the literal child prostitute who is sexualized by the game's creators and called their "waifu" when you become a fan.

Yes, I know it's an adult in a child's body, no that doesn't make it okay.

I was hoping that the latest Soul Calibur would have a robust single player mode, from the advertised features, but it is kind of grindy and uninspired. However, it does seem like the type of game that would be more fun for casual local multi than Tekken. It’s easy to pick up and wail on each other, plus it has create-a-fighter.

Soulcalibur has an extremely robust single-player story mode with several hours of campaigning and a leveling/progression system, in addition to the standard story mode for each individual character.

Tekken has an extremely barebones story mode and token fights for individual characters.

Speaking of visual novels, I'm finally back to reading Umineko after months of being burned out on it - god drat is it long - and it's just as tense and interesting as when I put it down. I don't think it's a spoiler to say that a significant part of the story is Phoenix Wright style logic battles, but every move of evidence presented is written in the text as the characters swinging giant swords at each other. "The victim isn't dead! They've been faking it!" as a called attack is absolutely priceless, especially when it's all "counter! Thanks to [evidence], they've been dead all along!" and a giant shield pops up to block the sword swing.

This is simultaneously super silly and anime AND super effective as I've desperate to figure out howdunnit, and to make sure that my favorite detective doesn't get skewered.


e: just in case

e2: I do not think the spoiler will ruin anyone's enjoyment of Umineko and I encourage everyone to click on it. But if you're already going to read it (it's a GREAT murder mystery) I recommend skipping it and reading Umineko blind.

It doesn’t have poo poo on weapon master mode in 2 though. :colbert: (more like :soulbert:)

I actually haven’t been able to get into 6. I had a pretty good handle on 2 way back in the day but after 10 years of good Mortal Kombats and playing some Capcom fighters it just feels waaay too complex. Specials feel like they have at least double the amount of inputs they should.

Football chess game has a new expansion out!

quote:

This expansion is a major revamp to the base game and significantly improves existing mechanics:
GIFTEDNESS
A new mechanic has been added to every footballer: giftedness. Although the theoretical maximum level is 100 for every footballer, they will now level up considerably slower after they reach a certain level (their practical maximum level).
More gifted footballers have a higher practical maximum level, allowing them to compete better in higher tournaments.

Giftedness and stamina now account for the potential of both the attacker using the skill and the defender who defends against the skill. Level 1 skills are now much more usable!

Expect major changes to the way you build your team, centered around the giftedness of your footballers, while other characteristics are still important as well.
STATISTICS
Various statistics from previous and current seasons are now saved and analyzed. You can indulge in the past glory of your club, and adopt better future tactics through the many graphs, charts, and statistical summaries!
CLUB'S INFRASTRUCTURE AND PERSONNEL
You can now upgrade the club’s infrastructure such as the training ground, scout centre and hospital.
New personnel have been added (physicians, youth coaches).
TRANSFERS
You can now directly buy footballers from abroad.
You can now directly buy footballers not on the transfer market if you're willing to pay a higher price.
When you sell a footballer, you can choose between different offers from 2-3 clubs (previously you cannot control which club to sell your footballer to).
Other clubs will periodically offer to buy your best footballers at a higher price.
GAMEPLAY AND BALANCE
Major rework to the economy system.
Added Team of the round and Team of the season that reward with Glory and Fans.
Added a new specialization tree: Stamina.
Redesigned fan mechanics. Now you can accumulate more than 80,000 fans. The more fans your club has, the more money sponsors are willing to pay you.
Improved AI of top clubs when preparing formations and making substitutions. Premier League becomes more challenging.
For experienced players looking for a challenge, Hard mode is even more difficult than before.
Added the ability to quickly simulate an already started match to completion.
Added Ironman mode, in which players cannot quit a match once it's started. You must play it to completion or switch to simulation.
Plus many balance changes for you to discover!
IMMERSION
Added animations following important wins and losses in both League and Cup games.
Added visual events that pause the match for substitutions, injuries and yellow/red cards.
Goal animations reworked. Now they look more varied, interesting and realistic.
Different crowd noises based on the number of fans and the size of the stadium.
Added 10 background music tracks.
Plus various interface improvements.

It's annoying because they're so close to the actual "yes, this is hosed up and is bad" message that could actually be good, but the devs themselves are far too horny for them and that's just outright disgusting.

I played like an hour of Valhalla and then gave up on it. I thought the concept would be cool, like how do you screw up "you're a space bartender and you make weird drinks for aliens?" Instead I got a kinda mopey visual novel. I wanted "Papers Please" for bartending.
