This is what happens when one of the team's leaders is cool and good and the other is Darla Dimple

I get why they wanted to make the idols more different from each other because designwise Calie and Marie were only a few degrees away from just being a color coded design difference but in a gaming thirstiness rules all in character design so making one a curvey scantly clad DJ pop singer and the other weird rapping gremlin was probably not the best choice.

Reach for the moon!
I assumed Callie and Marie being basically the same character was the joke, and probably done to get around people picking a fav character automatically to win ninty's fun little week to week stuff.

edit: And like, it's not really that important to be able to say "I picked Pearl because I like mayonnaise" instead of "I picked Pearl because I like Pearl", but you'd think they would have the foresight to try and make it turn out like the former if they're gonna do that kinda stuff.

I like the DJ/Hype Squid combo more than the pop idol duo. I also like Pearl and Marina's song more anyway :twisted:

The game has become looking for the monster you need to ride to pass the next obstacle and you gotta do it 3-4 times per level

Also this captain picard narrator better get to gently caress my character by the end cause hes really thirsty sounding for it

I liked LoS but there was one level that was just running through this ruined city that lasted a million years. It's like someone thought "Oh poo poo, we need this game to be super long for some reason" and added an interminable nothing section to the early-mid game.

I also find it funny that people are essentially saying this is due to one of the new Squid girls being hot while the other looks like a gremlin

Got the urge to replay it so I finished MGS3 again. I don't think I could choose an all-time favourite game, but if I absolutely had to then Snake Eater has a very good chance of being it.

It doesn't really matter who wins or loses splatfest, it's just a fun way to get people playing again in the months down the road when general population naturally dwindles

It's sad that there will never be a Castlevania about Julius wrecking house before Aria and then leaving the whip in Dracula's castle because that's a good idea.

Well there's like 5-10 people who play any game you can imagine in some capacity. But no game will ever stay as active as it's first few weeks/months of release unless you're CSGO

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


TF2 and CS:GO still have some of the highest concurrent player counts of any online game in the world.

I don't trust any numbers published by valve, the company who owns a storefront where the games they develop and sell are suspiciously also the most active games of all time, every day, and also the best selling games every day ever.

Pulled my Wii U out again on a whim to play some GBA castlevania games. I've never done any of the NG+ stuff on these, only the DS games. COTM magician mode is fun and broken which is great. Gimmicky weird power runs were one of my favorite elements of the SOTN versions of Castlevania
