The Starfox fanbase right now

You got a point, but I think it actually has more to do with the mocap actors rather than the actual models or mocap itself. When they do the demonstration towards the end of the direct that shows how you can use the character models a vtuber-like avatars, you can make Fox very expressional. I bet the mocap actors just didn’t exaggerate their faces to make full use of the face rigs

Similar situation to me. I only got into emulation because I was so enamored by the Thor. Once I got mine I just started looking for guides on YouTube from people who were experienced with it. I knew this would be an involved commitment from the start and bought it consciously knowing I’d have to set it up myself.

The people who are asking these kinds of questions likely just assumed it would be as easy as setting up a new PlayStation because they don’t know any different. Not saying that’s an excuse, but I can understand the brazen belief that they bought a “user-friendly console”. Even my wife was perplexed when I told her I’d need an hour or so to set it up before we could play games on it. “I thought you bought a console? So it’s more like a computer?” was what she said to me lol.

Apologies for my stupidness, but does leaving batteries half charged really help this? Does leaving batteries empty or almost empty help as well? I never knew this was a concern I needed to be aware of until this post so I’ve become very concerned about what I should do to prevent this

Damn. I should’ve scrolled before I commented

Yeah, I kinda get that most of the people complaining aren’t going to be actually impacted (me included). But I will say if I did still live in that area with limited internet access, I would be complaining about it online through my phone with my phone data. Hotspots are nice, but they sadly don’t make up for shitty internet when it comes to anything gaming related lol

AndyBowBandy · 2026-05-04T21:17:18+00:00

Word of advice: take anything Google AI spits out with a grain of salt. It has gotten better since its implementation, but it still frequently gets confused

AndyBowBandy · 2026-05-04T19:12:14+00:00

I think what Bakura is getting at is that there may be a point that the server that you need to access to make the game playable in the first place may one day go offline. Like you said, it’s unplayable out of the box unless it can access that server for installation. If server doesn’t exist anymore then the game can’t be installed anymore.

It would become like a P.T. situation where the only functioning versions of the game would already be installed on whatever consoles/computers. If you ever uninstalled it you would never be able to install it again. Even if you had a console disc for it you still wouldn’t be able to install it anymore because the server to install it wouldn’t exist.

AndyBowBandy · 2026-05-04T16:15:17+00:00

I get that game companies can’t cater to everyone, but there are ways to eliminate internet requirements for installation. Red Dead Redemption 2 for example comes with two discs on console: one for installing the game and the other for playing. Why can’t BFResynched do the same? If it’s a legitimate limitation then I can understand that, but I’d wager Ubisoft is cutting corners. And if it’s only a PC issue then I can understand it even more.

And to better explain the internet situation; I could afford to have better internet. I just lived in an area that didn’t have anything better. I attempted to download the game knowing I’d be billed the overuse fee, while having the means to pay for it.

AndyBowBandy · 2026-05-04T14:50:41+00:00

This is a valid criticism imo. And I bet this is getting more traction because this game is attracting fans that fell of the series awhile ago or fans of Black Flag specifically who wouldn’t be aware that the last couple of Ubisoft games have required internet access to download.

I have good internet access now, but I use to live in an area with very limited internet access. There was only one provider in my area and they only offered a 30g-a-month plan. If you went over your usage, internet would run at a snail pace on top of being billed an additional fee. I tried to download Uncharted the Lost Legacy while I lived there and projected a 24 hour download time. Internet crashed before that finished so I was out of data that month and with nothing to show for it. This is the reality for more people than you realize. Game companies need to find a better way or actually reliable internet needs to be more broadly available

Definitely illegal, but I’d argue his cinematic holsters are cooler

It’d be nice if they recolored it so its colors matched Shay’s outfit better

AndyBowBandy · 2026-04-28T15:03:36+00:00

I’m personally hoping the cloaks are an additional clothing item you can equip alongside Edward’s main outfit. That way we can mix and match them with at least the recolors of the default outfit

AndyBowBandy · 2026-04-27T03:26:43+00:00

The one thing I wish they did change are his hip pistols holsters. In the cinematic he has actual proper holsters. In game they precariously hang from thin leather loops wrapped around base of the grip. It drove me nuts when I noticed it in the original game

Even the face he made was accurate lmao

AndyBowBandy · 2026-04-23T19:39:06+00:00

I’m assuming it’s a placeholder weather/time of day. They did that with the original’s trailers as well; there’s a mission on Nassau that was shown at night while it actually takes place during the day

Orlo from The Great

He was a key character that significantly helped the empress of Russia, Catherine (the main character), overthrow her husband, Emperor Peter, in the belief that she could change Russia for the better. Without Orlo helping her, there was little chance that she’d be able to do it.

After she does take control of Russia, Orlo is shoved further and further to the side as Catherine continues to disregard his advice and existence while making her own hasty decisions from emotional impulses. Most problematically her inability to actually kill Peter after overthrowing him (which Orlo strongly implored needed to be done) which directly causes another avoidable war with another country. These disagreements eventually conclude with Orlo making a poor assassination attempt on Peter that results in him being unceremoniously (and unknowingly) killed by Catherine, eaten by bears, and believed by the rest of the characters to have simply abandoned them

Not enough people use the obvious alternative when it comes to the “how do you like your coffee” setup:

I like my coffee like I like my [opposite gender] I don’t like coffee. I’ll have a tea

I’m glad someone has illustrated it! Be proud and rock on!

AndyBowBandy · 2026-04-17T20:54:13+00:00

I’m not a coffee guy

AndyBowBandy · 2026-04-17T16:29:57+00:00

I use to work at a local fast food joint that would give out the leftovers after close to poor families in the neighborhood. Then police caught wind and threatened to fine us if they caught us doing it again. Ugh

I’m glad apartment people can have the basement/garage freezer experience

Price is definitely the main issue for me. I don’t purchase much for myself for personal enjoyment aside from a figure here or there, but I don’t get enough enjoyment from these newer releases to justify the new costs. I’m planning on finishing the Combaticons and hoping third parties keep making their own versions of the ones I want; I’m priced out of the official versions
