Any word on how big of a boost Snake Pass got with its 40 percent off? I was hoping for some news about the nice profit boost to encourage other indie developers to try some discounts.

Buy more games. (Idk about rearranging)

I regret paying full price for Other M and XCX and that's pretty much it

The Bloop
Jul 5, 2004

by Fluffdaddy

XCX was... OK

I enjoyed it up until about when I got a skell, and even then there were a lot of suboptimal design choices

In the end, the world was big but just completely empty and samey and getting the giant robot suit made combat less fun to the point that I was jumping out just to execute combos. The crafting and upgrading system, the missions, and even your own party members made everything a chore and I lost the joy of playing long before coming to the end of the game.



It was OK.

Xenoblade chronicles x had good gameplay gated behind bad design. which is generally easier for a team to fix going forward than bad gameplay

I found the on-foot combat to be fun and engaging, the mixing and matching with weapons, Arts, and party member callouts was cool.

I guess it just wore out its welcome too quickly for me. The color coded callouts were a neat mechanic and all, but it just felt like once you "got it" there was nothing else to do. Like the learning curve was just a vertical line followed by an infinite plain

Shantae games (as games) are good.

The tongue in cheek gratuitous boobery will amuse some, bother others, and trigger virtue signaling in still others. It's whatever.



Edit: I'm not sure I'd play it on a bus or in front of my mom or whatever because it's p. skeevy at first glance, but it's a good game is what I'm saying

But seriously accusing someone of virtue signaling is dumb as hell because it presumes you know for a fact that another person is insincere in their intentions (unlike you, the person laying the judgement upon them). Don't start that mess in here
That would indeed be dumb. But making a general statement that some people are going to hand wring on the internet over something they privately enjoy but wish to be seen to publicly denounce shouldn't be controversial. It might also not always be very helpful to point out, admittedly, but it definitely happens. Call it what you want.


Here is a true and sincere statement: I am very excited for the official release of Splatoon 2.

People are pretending you have to have a sound splitter, specialized headset, be within X feet of the console, etc. Literally all do is start the session in the app and put it in your lap or next to you while you play the game. Plug in a $8 pair of gas station earbuds w/mic to your phone if you want, but even that's not necessary. You don't need any sort of adapter or require any kind of proximity to your console like people are repeating.

Not having a headset could create some nasty feedback, but probably

Why does she even exist? Dixie should have been in DK64 instead of this new Kong with the exact same powers.

Ah, Miyamoto corrects, but Dixie cannot shrink, we had to create a new character.

Miyamoto, with all due respect, this tiny Kong can't shrink either until she learns the move. Anyone could theoretically learn that move from Cranky Kong and don't even try to pretend either. And while I'm at it, me Miyamoto, revered creator of Donkey Kong, why is Chunky Kong not Kiddy Kong? People don't like Kiddy? Well they don't like Tingle either, people are wrong. And finally Mr Miyamoto, why are there beetles crawling out of your skin? That's not your skin? That's a trash bag? You're not Mr Miyamoto, you're a garbage can? This isn't a bullet train to Kyoto, this is my car? I'm going 105 miles per hour? Shut up Mr Miyamoto I'm trying to post
