I bounced off of dragdog2 to play unicorn overlord a second time. Vanillaware doesn't miss

I would simply just play Fire Emblem instead

I don't feel it's worth getting upset or worked up over april fools jokes, sometimes they're decent, sometimes they're stupid but result in a goofy actual manifested product, most of the time they're garbage. it's fine!

I've never heard of this game but it sounds very cute

Also, they should 100% add Dark Soulslike mode as a real thing and not get sued into oblivion

Having now played 2 fire emblems, it’s clear to me that fire emblem is, on average, ok

On average it's slightly better than good due to the two rolls

there's a crucial difference between FE and unicorn overlord. unicorn overlord is good.

Everything I hear about Dragon's Dogma 2 is people going "This game is annoying and frustrating and bad and it's FUNDAMENTAL to the design of the game to be bad so that's why it's good actually" and I gotta say it's not really selling me on the game.

One of the lines the Emerald Herald tells you while you're skipping her dialogue in DS2 to level up already is to Seek Adversity

The adversity is the fun of it.

I haven't finished the remake yet but it makes more sense for Tifa and Aeris to hook up because they have more chemistry and things to relate to. Cloud isn't even himself most of the time, isn't clear on who he himself is, and for the most part doesn't really have chemistry with anyone.

I also saw an opinion piece saying that Dragon's Dogma 2's success despite its friction might mean the market is primed for a Dead Rising reboot that goes back to the systems of the first one, since it came from that same kinda era in Capcom's history where they were just trying things out.

God I wish. No opinion on 3 (because it didn't work on my machine for some reason and ran at 2fps), but 4 was a trainwreck.

I think we are going to be disappointed by Homeworld 3. My prediction is the game will be awesome, but need a ton of updates and fixes at launch. It's going to be really buggy and broken. Still buying it day one though, I love Homeworld.

I really enjoyed the demo but that last update saying things like attack move were still in progress at the time of its release, with the actual game release slated for a couple weeks after raised a lot of alarms for me lol. I'm hopeful though

RBA Starblade just gets weird like that whenever there's Japanese media getting referenced. It got really noticeable whenever anybody mentioned the Like A Dragon series.

That's because Yakuza sucks, unlike Dragon's Dogma, which is good and, to my knowledge, Japanese also

The discord server setting it up is here for anyone who wasn't able to grab the link before Evo died for good: https://discord.gg/BdN6A3kJ

They were able to grab and reverse engineer a few things (you'll be surprised to learn that the devs ultra-halfassed it with the budget they didn't have and much of it was default Unreal Engine settings and strings, making it easier lol), and to avoid the hand of god crushing them aren't taking donations and setting up and dispersing servers on their own dimes for it. So far BN doesn't seem to give a poo poo.

It's still a shame honestly. The game had significant issues but they had a shot when Overwatch 2 poo poo the bed at the same time and elected to poo poo it even harder

The mystery box in fallout was pretty good and it got me on the hook for that mystery lol.

Walton Goggins is amazing and I will watch season 2 for more of him.

I have no idea what people were smoking to come up with the theory that this show is all about how Todd Howard hates New Vegas and wants to destroy it and the original games so only his vision remains lol, it is so indebted to those games's worlds on so many levels Iike I thought people were joking when they said there's a scene where the character unfurls the NCR flag and the New Vegas theme plays but that is LITERALLY what happens.

I also thought that was one of the coolest moments of the show because I played way, way too much NV and immediately recognized it and clapped

I mean I know all that and I'm just buttmad but like, we just lost a game to a guy who fired a dmr like an assault rifle firing tank rounds and won the game at hte last second by spawning inside a tank on top of us to get a triple kill, and before that lost to a guy who got 30 sniper shots banking them in every possible direction and also fired them the moment someone spawned

Like, it can't be THAT hard to figure out that's not right, or in Destiny if maybe the guy has an automatic rocket launcher with infinite ammo in a game where you get one shot of that, maybe ban that dude to start with
