Can somebody please explain those april fools jokes to me, I'm not wise on these japanese gaming gags.

The Arika video is ginned up to look like a fake game announcement about a new Street Fighter EX game, with the text even exclaiming "This is an April fools joke!" but the real joke is that the game is real and they hosted a livestream yesterday ofnpeople playing it and it looks better than SFV.

What does everyone dislike so much about SFV? I'm asking from a position of total ignorance--I'm not much of a fighting games player myself. I'll play casually at a friend's house or something but the last time I actually bought a fighting game was Persona 4 Arena I think.

Well, also Smash Bros, but that's a special case because I'm mostly in that so that I can be Mario and punch Cloud Strife.

They tried to make the game acccesible by making every character exactly the same, boring to play and low damage. On top of that it's really ugly and incredibly expensive. The only reason anybody even cares to pretend about it is Capcom's insane esports push, because there's money in mildly giving a crap about SFV. A lot of the best SFV players in the world admit that they don't like the game at all, but when there's hundreds of thousands in prize money floating around they'd be dumb not to show up.

It was also basically an early access game. They're releasing a patch this month that adds some features they had advertised during the open beta in September 2015

SO I made a dumb decision and bought a SNES. I never had one as a kid so I was wondering what I should get for it. I did pick up Final Fantasy 3 and would like to find more stuff like that.

Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger, Super Castlevania IV is alright, Super Mario World, etc. It's a good rear end console

Finished my deathless (or rather retry-less ) run of Ys Origin, now I'm wondering if I really have it in me to finish it with the third character as well, which would be the sixth time I've beaten the game.

THere's also rampant graphical glitches and if there's too many projectiles on screen at once the sound starts lagging. Which happens pretty much any time you go into boost mode with Hugo. I can easily get the game to drop about 3 - 5 seconds of audio whenever i want. It's an embarassingly bad port of a decade+ old PC game.

In the last 10% of the game there are enemies that just leave graphical bugs as corpse. This is a 5 hours game. It's not hard to test this poo poo.

Nah, most hardcore shumup fans hate Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga.

I don't know if I would ever call myself hardcore but my limited experience with the genre I don't like their version of shmups. Well I like Sin and Punishment but that's kind of it's own beast and fun for a different reason than I would play an actual shmup.

USA (CA), but I don't have a PS4. I don't know if physical PC copies are still a thing but I'd rather own it through Steam anyway.

e: What is an option select?

It's when a single input has two different outcomes based on your position/what's happening in the game. I know the term from fighting games where you can do inputs that are either defensive/offensive depending on what your opponent is doing to cover your bases

An example of a bad one is that Metroid Other M's dodge was triggered by moving the D pad in any direction right when an attack was about to hit you so you could make yourself functionally invulnerable during combat by tapping directions instead of holding them to move

They're good in Automata but they were already the best part of Nier so that's more of a carry over than anything. Hopefully they learn and do cooler stuff in the future

Is there any reasoning behind when games are blocked from the share functionality on PS4? Like streaming and audio licensing stuff I can understand, but why prevent screenshots too? I've gotten so accustomed to sharing stuff being instantaneous that it sucks when it doesn't work
