Joyrex

The recently-released one, or the classic? I'm looking forward to this - always thought the Sumi-e brush art that Street Fighter 4 had would be perfect for a SamSho game, and lo and behold...

All umbrellas. By merch I mean poster (that I know of)

love the switch. i think what they're doing is great. compare it to vita, where they they were similarly targeting console type experience on a handheld (Sony published vita versions of Uncharted and Killzone, Vita being able to stream games from PS4 and play on handheld) but not even having 1:1 button of a standard PS4 controller (only 1 set of L R shoulder buttons, joysticks didn't click in as L3 and R3). Vita just seemed confused out of the gate, and failing to reach an massive audience never really came as a surprise... which then meant no audience = no one bothered to publish or make games for it. switch out of the gate had a solid launch line up and built an steady player base nice and early (giving publishers reason to want to release games on the system and sell lots of copies). nintendo have also done a lot of great work making the system easy to develop for, and reaching out to a lot of indie developers to get their games on the switch system. i remember reading twitter posts and the like of game developers pretty much confirming that they had been approached by nintendo, instead of the other way around. i also think, the switch being what it is, is perfectly in tune with a lot of gaming audience today, who enjoy playing games while having "content" or something playing on a tv/computer screen in the background. my positive experience with switch may have something to do with also owning a PS4 and a PC. i loved the PS4 at first, but after awhile the asking price of PS+ just felt really shitty + it was also getting to the point of all the games i was interested in were also being released on PC. i tried Horizon Zero Dawn, for example, and thought it was garbage. I tried God of war for example, and i thought it was garbage. Bloodborne was the only exclusive PS4 game i actually cared about and loved. Naughty Dog are good too i guess! But i reckon owning a PC and PS4 has too much overlap and the asking price of needing to pay $80 a year to play PS4 games online, when i can play the same games on PC... online for free.. + better performance.... ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... Like, i understand building and maintaining a PC is a massive chore and not an easy task for a lot of people (myself included) ... but i dunno. I'm very much at a point where a game having amazing graphics doesn't cut it if the game itself is going to be boring. and the Switch pretty much lines up with my needs perfectly. LOL @ God of War being 'garbage' All those Game of the Year awards seem to disagree with you on that point. That’s poorly applied logic, and clearly trolling surely… Have you played it? I have (all the way through; didn't do a lot of the sidequests). It's a great game, and (I feel) very deserving of the praise it gets. I haven't played it no. I also haven't watched Bohemian Rhapsody, but I know that I would hate it. But that also won a load of awards, so I guess I must be wrong? I just think that using the logic of awards = greatness is a bit flawed. edit: btw I love Queen and their music, so that's not why I'd hate it. Well, you're missing out - BR is a great movie, and a wonderful tribute to Mercury/Queen. I guess the way he states "it's garbage" like it was fact makes (triggers) me to point out that person is in the minority about something being subjectively good or bad. Add to the fact that millions of people bought GoW, so likely not a 'fluke' it got the awards and praise it has... Think you're being triggered a bit too easily, he says he thought it was garbage. Not that it is garbage, as a statement of uncontestable fact. But you seem hell bent on this logic, so… That's true - I did miss the 'thought' part. Opinions, internet, etc.

Hope to have some merch news by next week hopefully...

Genuine LOL @ "Call of FIFA". I want that to be a real game

I think that's just it - instead of buying games outright, you're paying for the rights to play them, so no big investment required. Googs pays devs a percentage of each play/stream plus rights fees to use their game. I don't think this will kill game sales entirely though - streaming hasn't killed off physical sales (yet), although the shift to digital first before physical was a big one.

"UP TO 4k/60fps" so they aren't really promising anything except for the ability to reach 4k/60fps. But yeah, I don't like this. I don't like this at all. I wanna know what this means for developers and I wanna know how developers make money off of this. If a developer gets x amount of cents for every minute played then that makes some sense for big companies. But what does this mean for indie developers? I'm trying to be positive about it, but I don't like this. Shit; that's true - unless Google buys the rights to the game for a fee, and then provides royalties thereafter based on plays... that would be fair, right?

Google's entry into the game market is intriguing to say the least - if anyone can realize the dream of a "streaming console" (without a console even!) it's them. Their claims of 4K/60fps at launch are a bit dubious though - I would be impressed if they could pull off consistent 1080/60 for the vast majority of people.

Orphan of KOS is by far my favourite boss fight, in any game, ever.

I found it kinda meh - then again I am a Street Fighter purist. I could see this appealing to DBZ fans though (which obviously the game caters towards).

git gud

The DLC is amazing - some of the best bosses in Bloodborne are in the DLC!

Is that... Elon Musk's face 'shopped on? still would....... ...try and punch him in his big stupid face. Who? Musk, or The Rock?

Yes, I quickly searched afterward and was brought back down to earth

NANI!?!? I thought it was out 22 March?!?!
