Real life tragedy should never be used as entertainment especially without the family's consent. If you think otherwise then you have a problem and should seek help or at least do some internal reflection. The families should class action sue these idiots. A line needs to be drawn.
@Areus What do you consider as "free"? I think it's free (over 100gb demo) to try but not free to play as you're locked out of most content by pay walls.
The animated scenes in the movie were the best part for me. Hoping many others feel the same way and Capcom pick up on this and make a successor to the legendary SF anime. As for the rest of the live action bits, they shouldn't have used as many celebrities as it ruined the tone and made it into a cosplay fest. It felt like I was watching some rich kids home made larping video.
So many characters they could have included instead. As for Jubilee she was only ever a decent character when she had vampire powers I think. I'm pretty sure the image of Cyclops above is Voldo in Phoenix skin.
@GirlVersusGame Wow a copy of Overfiend? That was my introduction to Anime back in the early 90's on late night bravo tv. That's an entire collection of classics there. Good haul.
Letting them get away with dumb ***** like this is how we ended up in the mtx hellscape we currently exist in. Why can't we have both like we currently do? I support both digital and physical for games I'd like to own outright not borrow. The subscription service model is another erosion of your right to own anything. Try not to be too stubborn and hear your fellow gamers with concerns out. This affects all of us.
DE did an amazing job with the introduction of Tau in "The Old Peace" last year. Can't wait to see them flex their skills again for the new solar system. All their open world sections have been pretty great too. The infected Deimos planet is a grotesque delight.
Music in the trailer was pretty badass. Arcsys rule in that department for fighters. Here's hoping there's something catchy like "bull*hit crazy" or MvC2's "Take you for a ride".
They would have had more interest from me if they made it more like raid shadow legends. Hopefully WB notice interest in this is lackluster and nudge NRS to release a teaser for Injustice 3 or the GL game that has been in rumors for years now.
Hopefully this time they include the power disparity between the characters as a main mechanic similar to Capcom V SNK's Ratio system. The novelty of watching robin beatdown on superman has long since worn off.
I tuned in during the Street Fighter panel, cringed at their comments, thanked them for their service and tuned out. I'll just watch the trailers the next day instead from now.
@Voltan I haven't played Tekken 8 yet as I'm waiting for the final edition. I hope you're right that its up there with NRS for story. GG took a different route with Strive but previous iterations fleshed out the story in arcade mode depending on what you did in certain fights. That was a system I think all fighting games should implement as it greatly improved replay value in single player. SF and KOF used to do something similar with hidden boss characters.
Just completed DI2 a couple of days ago and it was damn good fun. Looking forward to part 3. Hopefully they delve deeper into the lore they have crafted so far.
Silver Lake bought the company I used to work for. Real life scumbags. Treated our long term clients like dirt then butchered the company when we complained.
Not a single bunny eared or lizard tailed civilian in sight so I hope that gets explained somehow. Looks fun and should feed the GTA itch some. I'd expect a spiderman mod at some point in GTA also.
Yeah I imagine it would be hard to depict them if you're usually surrounded by plastic and make-up. If you watch their TV dramas you see a lot of regular folks who aren't mains looking very depict-able.
Can't we get a CG Street fighter movie instead? Not everything needs to be live action. The SF2 anime is still the best they've ever done and that was over 3 decades ago.
Shame. I was hoping for more besides visuals and controls. I'm guessing even they knew they couldn't improve on it. Does Kojima get a cut of the proceeds since it's the same game?
So no mention of Robocop V ED-209? That's exactly what that boss battle reminded me of. Even the way it ended and maybe GITS without the loss of limbs. Sign me up.
Some people might recall that Expedition 33 wasn't the first to put in the parry/ dodge system in a turn based rpg. We had Vagrant Story in the PS1 era. Even though I'm fully enjoying E33's gameplay the story pacing has been extremely annoying as I've got more than enough games on my plate where the characters are doing a lot of talking but not saying anything meaningful and in a world with such dire a setting I'd be doing a lot more slapping or violently shaking people for more information. There have been so many other great elements and mechanics added to turn based over the years in various games. I'm guessing people just didn't play those games so they are unaware making it sound like the genre has done nothing but stagnate. From White Knight and Valkyria Chronicle to Resonance of Fate and Tales of Symphonia there have been some real gems all sporting their own unique takes on the genre and with great writing to boot.
The endless stream of gachas reminds me of that point during the early 90's where every other game was a side scrolling platformer or beat em up. I tried watching the Arknights anime and couldn't get past ep 2. I'll be giving this a miss also.
For those interested in jumping into Warframe but don't know where to start, The devs have added a codex in-game that points you in the right direction story wise. You will be jumping around the solar system a lot but the story will be consistent.
Of course greedy corporate stooges would spout this kind of nonsense. I'm old enough to remember a time when these MT items were all available for free when you bought the game and just had to do challenges to unlock them. Those were some fun times. Some of the worst culprits today are in fighting games trying to coerce players into paying for palette swaps. Truly shameful times.
He looks skinnier than Dhalsim. I guess that's in line with all the other skinny people playing my favourite characters. I'll stick to the games and animes thanks. At least the 94 film treated them on the silver screen as the satirical adaptation that it was.
They've proven they can do the hero's journey the right way. I'd rather they stick to that a while longer but a new IP in a modern setting. Like the hopes I had for Infamous or Prototype.
It doesn't make sense that he has a stamina bar seeing as the Oni gauntlet is what's supposedly making him strong enough to wipe out armies of Genma unless they've changed that. Plus for someone who probably sliced thousands of bamboo before breakfast in his life having a stamina bar that will most likely be at 0 after 4 hits is dumb.
Mech Break on steam. Haven't had a mech game this sweet since Zone of Enders. AC was fun but these Gundam type mech are more my preference, gameplay is solid too.
I don't care much for the character skins as it's just visual and no additional stats. Are there any weapon skins in the game? I'd much rather search for those.
This is such a joke. I remember over the years there have been articles and host shows based on which male actor showed the best butt on screen. It's all well and good when women do it but for guys it has to be creepy? Grow tfu. I still recall Orlando Bloom and Dicaprio (in their 20's btw) being slobbered over by any woman who could produce saliva. Same with Chris Hemsworth and I always thought each to their own. It's annoying as hell that guys have to keep justifying their perfectly healthy prefrences.
I'll wait to see what gameplay is like before I download. I'm pretty maxed out for gachas and this is too waifu and imoto heavy for my tastes. Maybe once they start releasing a few more male characters.
