What, Nintendo coming up with a great idea and delivering it in the worst way possible? Couldn't be Nintendo.

as usual they will add to it over time. yes its dumb that it's not loaded to begin with especially shit that should be a given (mario zelda metroid FE splatoon ) i doubt it will stay that way long.
I suspect they do this to draw people back in every so many months when they update it with good new shit. "oh they finally added cynthia's theme?" "Oh they finally added God Shattering Star" "oh they finally added Lifelight?"
A live service model for their music app...
Lmao. I can believe it.
Also, I'm actually not a fan of God Shattering Star, lol.
summoning mysterious artefacts to pierce the sky at your location.
I can agree to a degree there are better themes for FE but this one pretty much nailed the shitshow of a story that three houses had. not sure why only CLAUDE get's it.
Apex of the World was much better in Three Hopes.
Songs also worth mentioning Bright Sandstorm Winds Across Plains (Lyn's theme) The Goddess's Rebuke Renewed Purpose Sacred Strength and a ton more.
Because the other storylines are pretty much "Kill God's child" while Claude's storyline is "Kill the guy that killed God and made a weapon out of their skeleton". So yeah, I think that guy deserves it.
That's the core problem. They didn't make an RPG. They made an action game with flavor dialogue options. It's an old FMV game with 3 button combo combat for 50 hours.
I'm not the biggest Asmon fan, though his editor for the short clips is a damn legend. But, his upcoming stream of Dragon Age is going to be legendary. He's going to be so bored out of his mind by 90 minutes in that the "I'm refunding this" rant should break Gaming Social Media for a day.
This is going to go down like The Last of Us 2. Because it's operating on a previous IP, it's going to get big chunk of initial sales, then word of mouth is going to hit. The real problem is straight up the writing. We have large chunks of video of the character interactions already, and I few stream chats will survive more than an hour of the middle schooler dialogue. The first big Vtuber that tries it is going to be wild to watch.
LKD being involved is just the cherry on top here. I figured he must be blacklisted from the industry after causing several damaging controversies for big publishers/developers based on his own fevered imaginations of hate crimes that didn't exist and probable anti-Asian racism. But no, this is a story of failing upwards, so of course he's here to up his game from just ruining youtubers and critics to now helping destroy entire studios.
I can't wait to watch Asmon play this dogshit.
That's why I didn't mind the troon in BG3. You could just pickpocket their quest reward and then cave their skull in.
The two streams I'm looking forward to are Asmon and Cohh for completely different reasons. Asmon is going to dunk on the shit game nonstop while Cohh is going to be this meme for the entire playthrough
I meant more along the lines of 3 houses being a mess and claude is the only one who get's to fight TWSID
the game would of been so much better designed as one linear story you wouldn't even need to change that much being an unaffiliated professor is good enough reason to assist each professor/class when they go on outings (and being an assistant is far more believable then you basically run the curriculum now) and being a mercenary gives you plenty of reason to follow all sides in the war
Just of a bit of adjustment and tadahh now you don't have to play 5 times to see everything.
Meh, Bioware died a long time ago. Good for us if it means accelerating towards the inevitable industry crash and making these shitty corporations eat dirt.
Is this the man who thought the Persona 5 soundtrack had a song saying "retarded"?
I've been clapping like a seal at every cutscene for the entire 40-hour current playtime but I can't tell how much of that is actually peak writing or how much of it is the sheer relief I feel that I'm playing a Hashino RPG that isn't Persona for the first time in nearly two decades.
There's a rare sensation as I play it that I'm experiencing my favourite video game ever made in real time.
Most of Nintendo's subscription services from NSO are a joke.
>Strike gold with Tetris99 and that Mario game. Makes a good F-Zero game for this, too.
<Pulls Mario off NSO despite it being received really well.
>Make a whole new PAID tier for GBA and N64 games (I don't care for sega stuff). (??? LMAO)
>Let people get free DLC... Only ever used this for Mario Kart and Splatoon 2 not even offering stuff like Splatoon 3 Side Order or the Smash Ultimate Fighter Passes.
>you have an occasional chance to buy recreational wireless controllers based on NES/SNES/N64!
>The 2-game Voucher is alright
>continued drip-feed of ROMs
>NSO emulation is not bad but not great singleplayer-wise. Good luck trying to play GoldenEye64 online multiplayer with how ass the Online service is!
>Online services have not improved at all for first party titles. If anything from my experience with Splatoon 3 compared to 2 it has gotten slightly worse.
>This OST music service instead of just dumping game osts on Spotify.
I hate the dripfeed bro. They absolutely have an archive of their music. Yet they continue to strike down Game OST channels on YT and additionally seem to be fired up and going for Emulation again.
Since i like doing write ups and i'm playing it again.
Wrath of the Righteous mini guide.
Start of the game showers you with companions but even so they do lack in some areas so if you like to fill gaps.
Bard
Hands down the biggest force multiplier in the game Inspire Courage or it's technically better inverse Inspire Tranquility (Tranquil bard archetype) gives you a powerful on demand morale bonus to attack or AC excellent skill moneys and even spell casters.
Druid or Ranger
Technically you do get a nature class companion in the elf lady but she is better as your lock monkey till you get the actual thief there also the DLC companion Shifter who can fill this role but even then having your protagonist fill this role can give you a full nature caster which you otherwise lack with possible animal companion
Arcanist
A weaker option till id say past act 1 but their unrivaled versatility still sticks strong even without counter spell and or quick study (there is a mod that adds QS) letting you rival the parties arcane casters which all the niche use spells you can throw out while still having access to powerful blasting options supplemented with meta magic.

The time has come once more. The Grizzly marshals its forces against the kingdoms of man.
i can't wait till next year where he releases a video titled Cabela's hunts 2025 but it's just live action footage of his life.
Their handling of Super Mario Maker 2 was when I completely lost all faith in Nintendo's ability to do any sort of long-term support for games. They dropped Link's Sword and Maker Worlds and then fucked off despite there being a shit load of content missing from SMM1 and lots of potential for DLC for SMM2.
Oh shit, just now we are getting a creative director. Just like Halo Infinite, the MS special. Pure crap, and not of the kino kind incoming. I guess it was more important to give her a butterface for a trailer than have a stable team make a game

PlayStation's Wolverine creative director now heading up Xbox's Perfect Dark
The creative director of PlayStation's upcoming Wolverine game has left Insomniac and joined The Initiative to work on Xbox's Perfect Dark reboot.
Microsoft is fucked at a fundamental level because of their 18/6 rule for contractors (only allowed to work for 18 months and then they're forced to go on a 6 month break). This was because Microsoft lost a court case like 15 years ago regarding contract workers where contract workers couldn't be excluded from benefits if they continuously worked at the company for like 2 years. Microsoft uses A LOT of contractors and they're all going through this revolving door of 18months into 6 months of absence just so Microsoft doesn't have to give them benefits.Oh shit, just now we are getting a creative director.

Microsoft will never be able to make a good game because you have new contractors coming in, spending months trying to catch up on development, learning the tools, and then they have a few months at best to contribute to the game. Then they're forced into 6 months of absence, losing a lot of their proficiency and not being able to continue their train of thought. Then they come back 6 months later, a lot of shit is changed, they have to catch up again and then retrain. They never develop an expertise in the tools of the game development. They never have long-term development considerations. They never have a consistent vision for the game because it's being passed around by various contractors that aren't allowed to improve their skills. They are fucked and they're too stupid to realize the cause for their shit game development is staring at them in the face.
Metaphor reaches a level of really good that makes me want to play it while I'm working instead just thinking it's okay. I don't think this will reach anyone's Top 5 rpgs but there's heart and effort clearly put into it. I'm only 40 hours in so far but I've enjoyed myself immensely.
-The worldbuilding is a little generic having OOH RACISM and classism typical of medieval settings but as usual Persona type games are focused more on characters and the characters you do get ooze personality. I like Strohl a lot more than the typical brodude companion you get like Yosuke, Junpei or Ryuji. He's hopeful and optimistic but not in a lmao friendship can do anything sort of way.
-Press Turn I still believe is the superior atlus rpg system. One more is way too easy to exploit and as much as I love visuals of all-outs it just makes the game way too easy. Definitely made a better decision with just outright clearing mobs instead of wasting more time getting in and out of combat for shit rewards.
-The Archetype system is interesting because it makes it easier for the dev team to create challenging content since you can't have infinite team combinations AND the amount of skills you can have at one time is limited since the MC can't equip 10 different skill sets making you actually care about who else you're bringing instead of just having the silent protagonist carry everyone on his fucking back. Unfortunately you'll probably feel a little restricted in terms of choice for the first 15 hours but after you beat the.....3rd?(does the tutorial one with strohl count?) story dungeon you will have enough archetypes to mix and match to your hearts desire.
-art direction good. I really enjoy this painted effect they have for all the character portraits it's especially noticeable on Brigitta(merchant companion) and it looks amazing. Visuals are fantastical and beautiful even if I question the physics of gauntlet runners being the superior transportation option.
-music is Shoji Meguro. That's all that really needs to be said.
Man I'm gonna go play more Metaphor after writing this review.
