@The__Goomba Blitz is literally half of my ENTIRE playtime for that game. Including doing the entire Monster Arena. I just like it THAT MUCH.

Just incase you want something physical to remind you of the worst part of that game.

@bfdiawinner You can tell the actual one not welcome by the detail in the answers. And yes, I've had experience with being threatened with a ban for something I said in a DM, and was NOT breaking the rules of the server I was on at the time. So I know that shit goes beyond just threats.

@bfdiawinner Oh boy, another discord server that you'd get banned from for no reason because you didn't break the rules of the server ON the server itself, but talked about the "forbidden subject" (because we know which one is ACTUALLY forbidden here) somewhere else completely.

@PatrckStatic @PalworldOCG I have no interest in even getting into it because the scalpers already have their hands on it. I was hoping to find out more about it when things came out, but nope. Now it can fuck off.

I think it’s disgusting that these were 40-50$ from most retail card shops and NOW you can find any less than 175$. Really hope @PalworldOCG does something about this. Don’t want another card game being scalped into the high heavens.

@LightZ323 @AvoraxJRPG @YJhaumal46544 @RealPoi_15 That is an important distinction, because otherwise the ratings wouldn't be the way they are if it was based on who plays it rather than the intended audience. GTA is NOT a series made for kids, at all. The fact that dumbass 10-year olds play it is a whole other matter.

@AvoraxJRPG @YJhaumal46544 @RealPoi_15 Nah played by kids vs for kids is a very important distinction I would hardly call a game with a strip club "for kids"

Notice how the Switch 2 isn't mentioned, because its actually selling and has games.

@NotImportantUs1 @LuigiSidekick Sirena Beach in general. Ugh. I'm going to use that banana clip for the one shine just so that one goes by faster.

@professorpixie @LuigiSidekick Sirena Beach Manta Storm is my achilles heel

Mario Sunshine is such an interesting game cause it gives you a look into what Mario games could look like if they were given the exact same dev cycle of the average Sonic game Aka rushed as hell with no time for polish whatsoever

@FeilexYT Digital* wow, typos suck.

@FeilexYT I'm gonna be looking for the Super Mario Galaxy collection. Yeah, I have 3D All-Stars, but I don't want to just get a ditigal version of the missing game when there is a physical option available.

Muchos dicen que Super Mario 3D All-Stars quedó obsoleto, pero yo no lo veo así porque: 1. Estuvo en físico. 2. Te pertenece. 3. No tienes que estar atado a una suscripción. 4. No tienes que tener acceso a internet. 5. Super Mario Galaxy 2 lo puedes comprar sin el uno.

@HiroesX81 @BringBackBanjoK That is the BEST way I ever had to play those games. 5 games on one cart was WILD to me at the time.

@BringBackBanjoK You know by that logic this one would also be worthless. And yet

Human behaviour only starts to make sense when you realise some people out there who just don’t have the ability to process rational thought.

@TheGameVerse Being rumored to launch on the day that pre-loading starts for GTA6 is certainly something. Hey at least the servers won't be bogged down by people trying to get both games, since they aren't on the same systems. ....Servers will probably break with GTA6 anyway.

ZELDA: OCARINA OF TIME REMAKE is rumored to launch on November 12. If true, it would be the second biggest game launch before GTA 6 in November.

@NotImportantUs1 @LuigiSidekick Fortunately people eventually found ways around some of that, but it is really annoying to have to do things like Goopy Inferno every time.

@LuigiSidekick Grew up with Sunshine as a teen: It is the only Mario game that REQUIRES every level star to be collected, AND all of them done in order, 1-6. You can't skip missions, and you MUST do ALL of them. There's a reason that never happened again.

@AndrewC70136680 How about having a copy that they can't just storm in and take from you?!

@Cameronall1word @AndrewC70136680 It's part of the same "all-digital future" bootlicking.

@AndrewC70136680 TO HAVE A PHYSICAL! YOU OWN THE GAME AND DON'T HAVE TO PAY A SUBSCRIPTION FEE! I can't fathom why so many people are saying this. When Seinfeld came to Netflix nobody said "oh great so what was the point in the Seinfeld DVDs?

@Genki_JPN @poke_times What the hell is Pikachu doing there. This is why I hate that damn rat.

@lionheartaxe0 And two of them live with me. ^_^

the overlap between people who were going to buy GTA6 at launch and people who were going to play the OoT remake is like... 10 people

@Nintendeal HELLDIVER?! Oh.....I want it. Preferably multiple. I HAVE PLANS NOW.

Sony PlayStation Hero Blind Box All Stars Series is available now at Target: bit.ly/4yLJyYJ #ad Six figures to collect: - Astro Bot / Astro Bot - Kratos / God of War - Aloy / Horizon - Ratchet / Ratchet & Clank - Helldiver / Helldivers 2 - Atsu / Ghost of Yotei

@Haunted_Siren @AliciaaaDawnnx3 These are likely referring to the Sword Kirby + Dragoon and Noir Dedede + Hydra amiibo announced for Kirby Air Riders. I can't seem to find official confirmation anymore of the release date for them, but these amiibo definitely exist on Nintendo's own site.

@AliciaaaDawnnx3 Oh no no there hasn't been any picture leaks, just that they exist. At least as far as I've seen, I feel like if there were picture leaks of amiibos they'd be everywhere by now.

GTA fans acting as if the OoT remake isnt just as much, if not more, anticipated than GTA 6 lol Zelda will have absolutely zero problems with sales, even if it does come out on the same exact day as GTA 6

@Nygprd @LumiLizard @ivvanex Yea that one usually matters to them because PC specs allow them to break WELL past console limitations. I think mine can let things go up to 300 fps? If I had a game other than Minecraft that could handle that speed, I might've used it. But most things like 60 or lower.

@professorpixie @LumiLizard @ivvanex Only games that it really matters in are shooters for professional players and those players usually just on PC.

Can someone tell me what's the incentive of staying with PS once PS6 is out? Like, seriously. Explain to me what PS offers to consumers that we can't find anywhere else (aside from 2 exclusive games every 3 years). There's literally nothing they offer that's beneficial to us.

@carnabrin @DoesItPlay1 PC's free multiplayer already pulls people away from the Playstation version of games if the game in question is multi-platform. Bringing them back to console exclusive is likely intentional due to them actively building towards this disc-less hardware.

@carnabrin @DoesItPlay1 This. They can't sustain their console on only a few games. Sure, there's CoD and GTA which will have resulted in the "less than impressive looking impact", but how long can the system really stand like that? This is also probably why they mentioned pulling away from PC.

During today's earnings call Sony for the first time in a month reacted to the backlash against their attack on physical media. And it went about the way we expected. Let's analyze it. (Disclaimer: We are going off of the official English translation in the clip provided. It wasn't that long of a statement, but there might be minor inaccuracies in there.) First of all, they seem to emphasize that 18 months ahead of time is a respectable period to give notice. No comment on the fact that basically everyone was surprised by their announcement coming this soon, while PS5 is still going strong. Then they dive into the reasons. They claim there are "various", the biggest one being that "digitalization of contents overall has been progressing". This is a clear shift in language. Initially, they blamed it directly on consumer habits. We've shown how that reasoning doesn't fully hold up when looking at the numbers. Then they claim that digitalization does not only impact PlayStation, but "all kinds of content". And that is true. It has been on the rise for quite some years now. At the same time, this conveniently ignores any and all counter trends in recent years. It is a statement that makes it sound like their direction is inevitable on a global scale. But their direction is absolute. Their goal is to kill physical media entirely for games, while basically all other major entertainment sectors have at least a strong niche remaining, with various indicators that physical media is actually growing again. The recent Capcom report saw a 133 % rise compared to the same period of last year. The overall spending is up for physical games compared to the previous year (admittedly, aided by the Switch 2 release). Sony's own physical split last quarter is up, both compared to the quarter before and the same period last year. More and more signs point to a stable plateau of physical buyers at the very least. The call continues and they drop the big one. A few seconds of stuttering followed by, "We put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this, and we came to this conclusion, and we are cautiously going to move this forward." They are not really giving any insights here. It is a "trust me, bro" in business speak. At the same time, if we take these words at face value, it means they are aware of the consequences, but do it anyway. Endangering retailers across the globe by removing one of the biggest entertainment brands from the portfolio? Fuck them. Removing a choice for consumers who were loyal to the PlayStation brand? Fuck them. Stripping developers of an additional revenue stream and the chance to immortalize their art? Fuck them. Forcing all remaining customers into an ecosystem without customer protection legislation? Fuck them too. What thoughts did they put in exactly? The only word that might give hope is "cautiously". But even that could be read in two ways. Either they are more cautious not to spark more backlash, but they want to continue regardless. Or they are actually waking up to the fact that this might cause more harm to them than they initially anticipated. They follow up with "to this decision we have received various opinions and people have strong views" and how games are loved and connected to memories. The speaker claims that they "understand those emotions". Really? Why are they calling it emotions when there is a long list of legitimate criticism entirely rooted in facts, though? Because they don't want to acknowledge the facts. Sony tries to paint the backlash as emotional without substance. As completely unfounded in anything tangible. After this bit, they immediately continue to starting damage control for the future and start talking about the "future digital ecosystem". Again, in a manner that makes it sound without an alternative. "How do we engage the gamers, is something we would like to continue to explore", they say. What is that supposed to mean, you ask? It's entirely talking about how they can continue to boil the frog. This part of the statement was not revolving around giving customers anything. Our best guess is that it is the attempt to indirectly address the monopoly criticism, and that there is no customer protection in an all-digital future, and that customers will be entirely at the mercy of the platform with zero control over purchased goods. With this statement the clip concludes. The overall tone remained. Cold, distant, no real explanations, no apologies for the past weeks either. But they did get a message. It had some impact. They ran damage control here. 100 % confidence would look different. But they won't correct course for now. It is up to us to continue. If anything, we need to step it up now. #PSBlackout is just one of those steps. Many more need to be taken. This needs a collective effort from all gamers, regardless of how you like to play your games. x.com/ethangach/stat…
