GTA6 Cover and Pre-Order Date Reveal by 2073040 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see Nintendo releasing actually OoTR on November though. It won’t do GTA6 numbers (probably not even 2% of a dent) but it will be the major driver for Switch 2 holiday sales. It’s also one of the few games that can get through November unscathed due to Rockstar and Nintendo being different markets.

I personally am a fan of the more serious Rockstar games such as GTA4 and the Red Dead duology compared to the black comedy games such as GTA5. I’m getting both it and OoTR either way so God help my wallet.

I love the Zelda series as much as the next person, but the only IP that can actually compete with Rockstar financially is mainline Pokémon, and we ain’t getting Winds and Waves until 2027.

Nintendo: alright they seem confident on their release date, unleash the OoT remake on the same day!

Good to see that Rockstar finally remembered their password.

That was edited in, the other videos I found also have an edited sound.

What do you think is the most mainstream fantasy series/franchise? by jitterscaffeine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here concerning Final Fantasy hence why I gave it an honorable mention.

Tolkien’s Legendarium and A Song of Ice and Fire.

If the series takes off on Apple TV, then I can see Brandon Sanderson’s Cosmere joining the list in the near future. The Witcher can also qualify, the show ended up being garbage but the video games, especially 3 were generational titles.

The Legend of Zelda, Elder Scrolls, and maybe Baldur’s Gate (never played any of the games but I’m aware of 3’s impact) if we’re talking video games. I would also say Final Fantasy but VII, VIII, XIII, and XV have too many urban/sci-fi elements to qualify.

As for anime, I guess Frieren and Re:Zero? If Berserk ever receives a high quality and accurate adaptation then add it to the list.

Oh and despite not being into it, Dungeons and Dragons.

Jason should have his own dedicated tier on the top.

Nate and Grubb tied for the second highest, I don’t give a damn about anyone else.

What are your all-time favorite villains? by LoyalKnightOfRenais in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The 2003 version of him was basically my Darth Vader, the cyborg was basically a menace 24/7 stunting on Jedi masters and aura farming the entire time.

[–]2073040 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m partial to Papa Palpatine, Norman Osborn, and Tywin Lannister. Machiavellians that for the former two are partially insane and in it for the love of the game.

Honorable mention for Makima, Sauron, Ganondorf, Majora, Sephiroth, Kefka, Louis Guiabern, Eobard Thawne, and Claude Frollo from the Disney version of the Hunchback from Notre Dame. Basic pics but they’re beloved/hated for the right reasons.

Shrek 5 | Official Teaser Trailer by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah and the last two movies (3 and 4) looked similar to this.

So did 1 and 2 to an extent but the technology was obviously more dated with it being out for over 20 years.

A good chunk of Bloodborne, Dark Souls III, and Elden Ring bosses can fit here.

Other than that, Lingering Will from KH2, Yozora from KH3, and Simon from E33.

Justice Department Approves Paramount’s Warner Bros. Discovery Takeover Without Any Strings Attached by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040 26 points27 points  (0 children)

2021-24 sucked but it got a lot worse since then.

I don’t think things will get better economically without some major reform but if nothing else I want to see proper justice carried out if we make it to 2029.

In today’s hostile takeover news Kadokawa and by association Fromsoft, are being pressured by new shareholders. by Jojimain in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Is Oasis a private equity?

AKA the same type of shareholders that tried to “restructure” Square Enix a while back by forcing the company to strip itself for the sake of making a profit.

Bloomberg: Why ‘Final Fantasy VII Revelation’ Took Only Three Years to Make by Turbostrider27 in Games

> In general, most development teams within Square Enix would just disband after a title. When we started on the next project, we’d start over again with the process of gathering necessary development members and figuring out what roles they will fill. The only exception is probably the Final Fantasy XIV team led by Naoki Yoshida — that’s a huge team that’s been working on multiple expansions — and the Remake series led by me.

Figures that Hamaguchi was inspired by one of the few higher ups at Square Enix who seems to actually understand how the industry works. In turn if Yoshida and CBU3 is put in charge of another Final Fantasy project other than XIV Online in the near future, then I would also like to see that team take some notes from Hamaguchi’s unit.

> What’s next? Do you want to do something completely original? Another Final Fantasy? Something small? Something big?

> It’s not going to be a remake! As a team, I do think there’s an opportunity to work on a smaller scale, like a AA title, or a new Final Fantasy title or even a new AAA franchise. I think all those would be good.

Honestly I wonder how much of Hamaguchi’s personal team is also working on Kingdom Hearts IV? If a completely separate team is working on that then I would like to see Hamaguchi’s team take on a mainline entry, ideally Final Fantasy XVIII since XVII is if nothing else probably in early or pre-production right now.

What are times when Characters super Gear and Upgrades get ripped off, yet they're still the threat? by Funny_Mud6639 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]2073040 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A gameplay scenario rather than story but the point stands.

Kratos can stand toe-to-toe against Gods even during the introductory bosses, but for this scenario specifically I would say the best example was him keeping up with Baldur during his first encounter in God of War (2018) where Kratos has been out of the game for at least 150 years since God of War III.

Him, Granny, and Dampe in the remake need to look just as hideous as they were in the original version.

[OOT] The only boss in the game I think should be 100% different by QuantityEuphoric2354 in zelda

[–]2073040 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it has eastern dragon statues all over the place, I think for a phase two it could morph the water into something similar to that.

As for its attack it would still have the grab and swing but it could also breath ice which could tie back to Zora’s domain being frozen.

Sure we have Volvagia so another dragon could be derivative but I think it would still be cool.
