If there was any context for the world of the game, it might make a little bit of sense but it just kinda tosses you in with no explanation and poo poo gets crazy immediately.

Sin and Punishment is insanely good and anyone who hasn't played it before should definitely check it out. The training mode is actually a really good introduction to the controls and I recommend playing through it and messing around with the different control modes before starting the game. (I think control mode C works best with modern controllers)

Metroid Dread done, 75% items, 9 hours. The last couple hours were boosting my items from like 40 to 70 after the final boss kept nuking me, turns out I'd overlooked like 4 energy tanks. Final boss I didn't quite get his "I'm vulnerable/now I'm not" telegraphing at first, but I'm glad the bosses overall are short, tough, intense fights rather than 8-part healthbars.

Hard Mode, not quite yet.

Unfortunately I have no source but I do distinctly remember reading it would be either a standalone game or paid add on for those who already had the Switch Isaac

You know what's interesting? The video they put out explaining that metroid prime 4 was not coming along well and they decided to scrap everything and start over...has a lot more likes than dislikes. I'm surprised it wasn't met with a bunch of wailing and gnashing of teeth but it seems like gamers took the news pretty well

i think the big takeaway was that they pulled off whoever was working on it and put on Retro Studios who everyone likes

They announced a physical release back in March with a $60 preorder, and at that time it was already released as paid DLC on Steam. I'm not sure if Edmund clarified on Twitter at the time that it was going to be paid DLC on the Switch but I don't think anyone assumed it would be a free update given those circumstances.

I'm more curious about the new physical edition. It will have to be a separate release from the digital one since there's no way otherwise to include DLC on cart, but will they have a mechanism to transfer saves (like the Pokémon+DLC release last year) or require you to start over?

I mean, I'm not that curious because it's $60 and gently caress Nicalis.

it was cool when people would talk about that as the Innate Homophobia of the Oriental and not that the persona director was a weirdo about gay poo poo

p5r removed some of it in localization which isn't much of a solution but i dont think anything can be done about p4 lol

I like that SMT isn’t entirely like Persona because Persona already exists and homogenization is bad. That’s all I gotta say about the IGN review

I'm still kinda surprised nobody said "no" at any point in the development process esp. in P5

like that poo poo is not even remotely acceptable; it's crazy

It's been a year so I barely remember, but didn't they change the homophobic scene in P5 to something equally bad or stupid in P5R? Something about forcing Ryuji to model clothes against his will?

I wouldn't say equally bad, no, but it's still pretty dumb and bad, yeah. They try to pressure Ryuji into doing drag performance, basically. Also, the change is only in the localization--the Japanese text is unchanged.

It's unfortunate that they couldn't just cut those scenes entirely. I sorta suspect the localizers would've liked to.
