I look at my home screen with Zelda, Mario Kart, Spla2n, Overcooked, Snipperclips, Shantae, and Blaster Master, and I think about how the system has only been out since March, and I wonder why the gently caress people are complaining about having no games. If you didn't want these kinds of games, why the gently caress did you buy a Nintendo console.

It's definitely a stronger launch window than the 3DS or WiiU for sure.

whatever this is it looks way prettier than the nightmare anime levels of Xeno2. I wish they took the art style of Xeno1 and built on it instead.

Keep in mind that's art for the staffing call, not necessarily representative of whatever game they're making beyond being fantasy.

Did you try Cryosis? I used to to very slowly cross a pond only to realize after the fact that there was a boat not ten feet from where I started my crossing.

It's a shame I see people call cryo useless so often when it's cool as heck when dealing with cold water or working across bodies of water with low stamina. Plus all the people that miss its really obvious defensive utility before and in the zora DB.

I'm confused, how is that dumb?

It's a very elegant solution and probably less expensive than recalling and reprinting a bunch of cards.

Yeah, it's just disabling a few characters in code generation versus changing how their cards are printed.

they have accents though people don't like the VA as much in spite of that.

e: I wasn't that into xenoblade's plot or gameplay but I still got a decent number of hours out of it so I'm still interested in 2 to see how they move forward with world design and combat and stuff from the first game and X. I trust them with the former at this point but I'm not sure how the combat changes will work out. Conceptually some stuff is cool, but the way cooldowns and autoattacks are being handled looks like it could be clunky.

BotW was okay but much like Resident Evil 4 meant the death of the classic games I still enjoyed even if no one else did.

I think that's a tad of an exaggeration since BotW is a realization of something they'd been wanting and trying to do for years through those same games, rather than a complete fundamental shift. Plus we don't know how they'll handle future titles, which could well look to deepen dungeons and stuff within the new formula.

Starting to wonder if XB2 is gonna be so stupid it manages to have a worse plot than XBX.

It's structured more like XB1 and with what's been shown so far I expect it to be pretty standard like the first.

The weapon/skill system is gacha-ish, but as far as we know it's not a microstransaction system or anything, Blades are just at least somewhat randomized. I feel like the special ones will have corresponding cores or quests or something but idk.

TF came out back when the WiiU thread was a sharktank so it was largely shrugged off as "not a system seller", because that's something people cared about for some reason.

Supposedly console R&D happens basically back to back so the WiiU was probably designed at least partly without consideration for mobile games existing and the Wii fad petering out.

So if I really like Persona 5 should I get TMS?

It's not really as comparable as people think imo. It's pure dungeon crawling as opposed to Persona's RPG/life-sim mix, and the writing is generally lighter, in both tone and how deep it goes with characters. It's a fun atlus RPG, but I wouldn't necessarily see it as a direct followup to a persona.

we have a fan of dubbing and terrible localization guys


it's not

you're playing the second hand version of a story with an objectively worse voice acting and narration than the original; in the rare, best cases it's not strictly worse but only "different" than what the creative director intended; in a minuscule percentage of those rare cases you could get better voice acting but localization will still be subpar

Nah

this sounds almost as bad as when people were making GBS threads their pants about a "TOTALLY SUBPAR TRANSLATION" for Persona 5 when it was loving fine. I'm sure Kafka's translations weren't completely what the author intended either but guess what, I actually would like to enjoy the loving Metamorphosis

P5's localization was genuinely oddly subpar for atlus (the yakuza game they helped with and utawarerumono are way better on that count), but P5's writing isn't particularly good to begin with so I can't call it a loss.

I dunno why localization in general is coming into this; well done translations that actually come across as fluent English are sadly rare, even from major publishers.

All you really need to do is not gently caress over your actors by giving them zero context or direction. It's sadly relatively uncommon, but when you do even a small company can do a really good dub.
