5 Years since #DeathStranding came out?! Time flies. Arguably @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN 's best work. I had the pleasure of meeting the legend AND the other legend that is Yoji Shinkawa at the DS world Tour back in 2019 (UK). Great times!

@MidYoure @cris_rys7 I see.... Utterly bizarre decisions made on that tour. To not even allow the band to be heard over record playback either...Just Utterly bizarre. His worst tour by light years. I don't think his heart was in it.

@jay_quake @cris_rys7 They (not OP or this post) actually dubbed the audio from the soundboard and put it in the laserdisc version for release. The crowd heard the show with full playback

Michael singing Scream entirely LIVE! Brunei, you were so lucky 😭😭

@RedCorvette_ The band was not live for 90% of the shows. They may have played, but they were not audible over the record playback. This is why Scream sounds drastically different in this clip...because it is clearly the band. Live should be live, no matter the format it comes.

@jay_quake HIStory Tour prioritized visual spectacle over vocal endurance due to medical limits. Massive stadium pop is high-concept theater, the audience came for the full visual experience. The band was live, you can check out videos of the drummer playing on YouTube.

Did the entire band have these conditions? He could have also used this time to put extra focus onto new routines instead of rehashing routines hardly changed from the Victory tour, and chose to perform newer songs in a way that was more than miming into a microphone. Only Earth Song got a dedicated routine. A live show should be live. If you can't do it, don't do it.

@jay_quake @cris_rys7 Expecting him to perform entirely live under those conditions would be inhumane. Given that he suffered from lupus and was battling laryngitis, constantly singing and dancing simultaneously was an impossible demand. it was a theatrical and visual performance.

...And GTAVI will sell that within 24hrs...if that. GTA VI is forecast to sell over 60 million copies in it's first WEEK. It doesn't matter what game you prefer, I also prefer Zelda, but GTAVI is going to be the biggest entertainment launch in history. No game in history is going to match it's success. Zelda could never touch even 5% of GTA's sales. That's just basic logic.

@jay_quake @Stealth40k Projections estimate that between 5 and 10 million players will buy the game in the first two months. Maximum potential: The total pool of potential long-term buyers could reach 10 to 20 million people if the game appeals to the Breath of the Wild audience.

There is no doubt in my mind Nintendo would release The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake in November with GTA VI. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (digital) released a few days after GTA V launched. They've done it before.

So you turned this into digital Vs Physical? You're right I do miss your point. Most of the stuff in that text is from a hacking fiasco from 2011. I fail to see how this has any relevance to GTAVI certainly being the biggest game of all-time and will be for the next decade, light-years more so than Zelda will be.

@jay_quake @Stealth40k You missed my point.

@redvelations Or one of the most gimmicky and pretentious? Undermines the work.

one of the hardest warnings before the beginning of a game of all time

@malerfique @Stealth40k Thst caters to my point. It will sell so much that it could crash servers. It will sell unfathomable amounts.

@jay_quake @Stealth40k

@largacty2 Hahahahahaha. He is so sensitive.

@malerfique @Stealth40k Nobody can be this naïve? GTAV is contently in the charts 13 years later. It has sold over 200 million copies. GTAVI will be even more popular and outsell Zelda by an overwhelming amount...for years.

@Stealth40k To make a long story short, GTA VI is selling poorly on consoles in the long term, while Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake is selling well on the Switch 2 console in the long term, even more so.(code on box full digital)(In Japan, the code expires in addition to everything.)

A game that deserves a re-review is Lost Odyssey. That game, whilst reviews were mostly favourable at the time, was harshly treated due to it's Japanese developed nature alone. In that era, ridiculous, almost bigoted views on Japanese games were being spouted by mainstream gaming press and classics like LO, Blue Dragon, and more were victims of this mindset. LO is now regarded as one of the best RPGs of that generation and moreso the best JRPG of that gen. But you only need to look at some of the things mainstream gaming press said about it at the time to spot why games like it deserve another look. But on the flip (and satisfyingly), Japanese developed games are once again the dominant ones in the industry and traditional JRPGs are big hitters again.

Like a Stone Age axe, Grand Theft Auto is hard, primitive, and – honestly – more than a little cumbersome. However, like said axe, it’s nonetheless a valuable artefact that maintains an effective edge to it. Our legacy review: bit.ly/4wCwDXM

@oliviasbanana Same reason Sly Stone's Family Affair is used at family functions. Melodically, it sounds like a family celebration song...lyrically, it is about dysfunction.

I stand firm in the belief that there is literary crisis right now because why is THIS so many people’s wedding songs

He has written some of the most astonishingly poor stuff ever composed by a human (Derek, Afterlife, Invention of Lying) and based on the clips of this show, seems to be following that trend. He will repost viewing figures of this to feign success in an attempt to validate his writing, not realising the irony of doing that and with what happens with his character in Extras and the fictional sitcom "When the Whistle Blows". It is becoming a very popular realisation today that Steven Merchant was the brains behind the good work.

@rocknrollofall Undisputed GOAT. Astonishingly, this represents about 5% of his abilities and talent.

It's only Prince who could dance, shred on guitar, play the bass and keys, and go bang on drums all in one night.

@PRBG_Aesthetics I agree. They behave the same way. In my opinion, they are some of the most impressive ever put to game.

@jay_quake But it stays true to the aesthetic

Four underrated masterpieces of pre-rendered backgrounds Which one deserves way more recognition?

He was not homophobic. That misinformation came from a misquote. Also, he is straight. There is zero evidence of him being gay or even bi. Evidence overwhelmingly shows he loved women. The rush to judgement usually comes from men insecure with their own masculinity and that a man in complete comfort with himself got all the women. Lastly, if he was gay...it changes nothing. x.com/PAISLEYPARKCRI…

@whoisgmz_ Alexander O'Neal! Even a gif of said person shaving haha.

his friends promised not to laugh at him for shaving off his beard 😭

@ilymoonwalker The undisputed GOAT. Astonishingly, this represents about 5% of his abilities and talent.

Are y’all seeing him? He had so much body strength omg??

@DillfromTO @TheStingisBack Well, I did say that in my initial post - I understood it from Disney's perspective too.

@jay_quake @TheStingisBack How were they supposed to market it? The whole point was to make everyone believe there really was an evil entity in the forest. I liked the movie and liked the twist reveal.

M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village (22 today) annoyed the crap out of me. If I wanted to be gaslit for two hours, I’d just go have dinner with my sister. We were promised a monster movie, and somehow got this instead. The whole premise is just… WTF.
