I understand the impracticality of making bespoke animations for all nearly a thousand of the buggers but Snap really does make me love so many pokemon which I'm extremely lukewarm on in the main series, just by the animations alone

I didn't realize I liked Wurmple so much until New Pokemon Snap, but drat he's just so cute

Wurmple's the perfect example of this phenomenon. It was just another generic dime a dozen first stage bug Pokemon to me, and then I spent the better part of a morning figuring out how to get this shot:

I watched Sphere Hunter's review and she usually goes in depth but because of the embargo she had to be vague enough that it was annoying.

I like her stuff on older games but the new stuff definitely feels pointless lol, like DMC5 being 20 minutes of "You'll have to take my word for it, it's cool!"

I keep thinking of trying sword and shield and then remembering none of the ones I really liked are in it except for like... Gardevoir and Golisopod, the latter of which isn't even one I grew up with. Nintendo!!! :argh:

Gameplay, but honestly we all know its going to play like RE7 so the story is pretty important.

I'm sympathetic to people who are extremely spoiler-sensitive, but I do wonder if this sort of insistence that even relatively minor reveals are "spoilers" is making it impossible to write decent criticism, even if you're trying to be positive. You have to be so vague that you can't really say anything at all. It's not even just publisher review embargo restrictions, though that's certainly a big part of it (I'm sure stifling criticism is the whole point), but also the way people react if you "spoil" something in a review.

I guess it's easy for me to say because I'm not particularly sensitive to spoilers.

That said I think the spoilers issue and review copy embargoes are totally unrelated, the corps don't care about spoilers much since it won't really have a huge impact in sales.

I think for reviews / critiques pretty much everybody has settled on the format of "initial review - SPOILER WARNING GO NO FURTHER - full review" which allows people to just pick whatever they want and then they can only blame themselves.

The tone of that statement is very "oh we went too far but we'll be changing it again in some way in the future."

This quoted text isn't all that clear:

quote:

Today, we’ll be turning sliders back on for all customers on our bundle pages while we take more time to review feedback and consider sliders and the importance of customization for purchases on bundle pages in the long term.

In the coming weeks, we’ll roll out the updated design which will include sliders that work exactly as they did previously. 

So today sliders are back on but that final sentence makes it sound like they're not working how they did before for weeks. :shrug:

I think on the GB Quick Look they said that if you got a pic that fulfills a request before you actually got the request it won't count and you'll have to take a new pic to get credit. Not sure if that helps or not.

Who wants some waffles?

Since Pokemon are named after the sound they make there must be furious arguments over whether dogs are called Woof or Barks etc. Also sometimes they only say part of their name so I bet some scientist looks like a loving idiot after he named the Pikapi and someone hears it say Chu.

some of them are very dumb and want like, specific frames of the animation or something

it's a crazy good game but there's a handful of weird buggy things that I hope an upcoming patch sorts out (though they haven't said anything like that)

Also I have been playing nothing but Monster Hunter since that came out and Gamepass got octopath and Dragon quest builders which I wanna try

I really wanted to look like Octopath, and for a little while I did, but when I got the 3rd party member the bosses got such a ridiculous health boost, the fights are taking forever and it really destroys the pace of the game

Yeah the requests can be a bit finicky. For instance, in this example the reason it didn't count is you've got Pidgeot as the subject of the photo rather than Magikarp. The 4 star Magikarp photo of it being carried is what you want. Fortunately it's much easier to get a crappy photo of that (you can get it as it more slowly flies away) than the sick action shot you already have.

Hello chat thread, it's been a while. I hope you're all doing well.

I'm still trundling through Dragon Quest XI and it's been wonderful, I think I'm coming towards the end of it now.

That said I got to the reveal that [massive spoilers for your return to Arboria in the second half of the game] Veronica died to save you all and as the cutscenes were going I kept waiting for the game to be like "haha, psych, just kidding" and uh, they weren't. The cutscene with Serena finally letting herself fall apart and grieve in the evening post-funeral after inheriting Veronica's magic was heartbreaking and hit real close to home.

This game is really, really wonderful. I think my party member ranking so far is Sylvando > Rab > Jade > Veronica > Party Member Who Joins In The Back Half > Serena > Erik imho.
And even ranking them like that it's not that I think that Erik is even bad, really - like his interactions with Veronica in particular are fun, I think he just suffers from not really getting much development until very late in the game and a lot of the brotherly like friendship that he and the Hero apparently share is commented on a ton by other characters but doesn't feel like it was actually shown.

I also got to play a little New Pokemon Snap and adding my voice to the other comments here, it's great!
