That's been my experience. I rarely spend more than like a minute with an extractor. I might just try to drop right on top of Asher's Prime if I can, I've never fought an Infernal Prime and this is probably going to be my last opportunity

What's great if if you can hyperspace to an outlaw ship from just the right angle and come out of hyperspace and blow up their turrets basically before they even know what the gently caress is going on

And after all the turrets are toast you point your imploder/nullifier at the mouth and wait for them to file out three by three to be instantly vaporized before they even have a chance to hit their burners :v:

I wish starlink had a postgame or something where the legion was more aggressive about spawning dreadnoughts/primes so you have more opportunities to see the stronger ones. They don't just have more HP and do more damage or even just have different patterns. They have whole new phases with each power up. There's a lot of variety there that you don't get many opportunities to see because if you're halfway competent, you're gonna knock them down way faster than they can keep up.

Because of this, I actually looked up the Saturn-exclusive areas since I'd never actually seen them before.

Elon Musk is a huge Bubsy fan and he is funding a constant stream of Bubsy games at this point regardless if they sell or not

A couple of odd tidbits from the Nintendo Financial Results Briefing

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2018/181031_2e.pdf

-Mario Tennis Aces sold an insane amount of units in the first 17 weeks compared to previous titles for Wii/3DS/WiiU
-Super Mario Party sold 1.5M units globally, and is boosting Joycon sales.
-The NES and SNES classics have sold 10 Million units combined.

I'm grateful people still do make console games in spite of simplistic mobile games making ungodly profits. mostly I'm grateful that Nintendo jumped on the bandwagon as a way to keep people and projects afloat with that eazy cash

Given the numbers I can find online splatoon 2 did that in about a week. I can only boggle at what RDR2 made in a day.

What did RDR2 cost to develop versus Dragalia Lost, though?

Anyway, the real money for Red Dead comes with the online microtransactions...

By and large, Nintendo's DLC has been leaps and bounds above the competition's. When $12 nets you Mario Kart 8 half over again, it's pretty incredible. Their free updates have been rad too. I'm looking forward to whatever's coming down the pipes.

It started that way yeah but I think the Zelda DLC was $20 and I thought Pack 1 was not worth it at all. By the time Pack 2 was out though I was convinced, that portion added a lot to the game.

I haven't personally bought the Splatoon 2 DLC because I played that game for multi with friends, not the campaign.

100% chance Smash Ultimate will have like 12 DLC characters

I was gonna say some poo poo about people only have so much time and money to devote to mobile games so it's unsustainable to make too many of them but then I realized that's loving stupid and people will keep dropping tons of cash on it as long as it keeps them at the top and with the best chance of rolling the next big titty unit.

Yeah but also it's time and money that doesn't always conflict with at home games.

Like I've played I think... 2 or 3 F2P gacha phone games pretty seriously, but I make it a point to almost never spend money on the actual things. A lot of the time it would be checking in on the game on a lunch break to use up stamina - if I got to a stretch where I really got into it then yes I would play it at home too. It also requires a constant internet connection which means it's useless for things like playing on long plane rides.

I know the Switch is portable but I'm not pulling out a switch at work, even on a break - the work atmosphere looks down on that in a way that they don't look down on someone fiddling with their phone.

Anyway I think they can exist side by side~

Best five bucks I've ever spend.

This has completely hosed me up and ruined my life because I didn't know this existed. I had always thought SotN was a PSX exclusive.

It's a really lovely port, and it never came to the US. In addition to it running at half speed when there's a lot of action on screen, it doesn't render transparencies (it uses ugly mesh sprites instead) and worst of all, every fourth horizontal pixel is repeated which gives the game a distorted, stretched look.

If the team took their time and rebuilt the rendering pipeline to suit the Saturn, and pillar-boxed it to maintain the aspect ratio, they could have done it justice
