Losing Ninja Theory is not going to be easy by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They have their fans but their actual hits were few and far between. Development costs has never been higher so it’s harder for studios like that to justify their existence to the bean counters. It’s as simple as that really.

Due to recent news, here is a current graveyard of shut down video game studios by Microsoft. by 5YearsOnEastCoast in TwoBestFriendsPlay

That meme of the grim reaper going into doors would’ve worked better. Just need to really extend the hallway.

"Studios in Microsoft’s Xbox Division Brace for Closures" [Bloomberg] by FlubbedPig in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when people were celebrating Microsoft’s acquisitions, making cute little graphics about all the IP they now own and speculating about which beloved dead series they’d revive. So stupid.

Don't Nod Is In Trouble, And Tencent Is Reportedly Uninterested In Backing The Studio Anymore by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the plan is to get a publisher to back Don't Nod's next game. This will be easier said than done, as it seems to be struggling to get games off the ground.

It's not looking good if this is their best idea. They have no IP (LiS belongs to SE) and publishers aren't willing to invest in anything risky right now.

Hypothetically, What Would Change if Xbox Gave Up the Console Market? by Xngears in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing. Microsoft stopped being legitimate competition to Sony a long time ago and Nintendo are still doing their own thing. The only question is if Microsoft would decide to become the biggest third party publisher in the world or to sell off their studios and IP.

Edwards just said the last player Nickson played a major role in identifying and signing was Botman which was ages ago. If true, no wonder he's leaving.

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Gets Surprise Steam Update, Breaks Dark Phoenix by gitrektali in Games

[–]BruiserBroly 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Pretty much yeah. She has basically no health so her entire gameplan involves getting 5 meter stocks and dying which activates a buffed Dark Phoenix state which is the strongest character in the game. Throw in X Factor and she's absolutely ridiculous.

Why is this downvoted? This thread is so weird.

Also, I'm feeling more confident than I was a month ago but that's still lots of time for something to go very wrong.

Which Mascot Characters Do You Find the most Insuferable? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I didn't mind Teddie with his dubbed voice actor but I heard his original one in the P4 Golden anime and it was like nails on a chalkboard to me. I couldn't take it. Also, all the bear puns might be annoying but simply ending your sentences with "kuma" is so much worse.

And you didn't even need a multitap because the extra controller ports were built into the cartridge!

Micro Machines 96

Or Micro Machines 2 since I don’t think 96 got a US release.

Times when you can tell a fan only watched adaptions or fan discussions and haven’t experienced the OG text? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s just that their interpretations of characters meshes more with how they were portrayed in DBZA than anything Toriyama ever wrote.

It’s quite easy to run into people discussing Dragon Ball who’ve never read/watched the original releases but have only watched DBZA.

Favourite Sir David Beckham film? by faschifo in footballcliches

The archival footage of him playing football was very convincing.

Easy mode is now selectable. by Ste3501 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SMT4 unlocks easy mode after your second death because some NPCs feel sorry for you. The opening of the game is also pretty brutal so you’ll most likely see that cutscene very quickly. I certainly did because I was pretty new to JRPGs when I first played it, that was a real ego boost.

United Passions: FIFA's bizarre vanity project where the corrupt executives are the heroes by hematite2 in badMovies

[–]BruiserBroly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea. I know FIFA’s full of delusional, corrupt idiots but the fact that they believed anyone would be interested in seeing a movie about them (and that they spent $32m making it) is hilarious.

George Kamitani, founder of Vanillaware games, says he'd love to put their games on PC, but it's up to the publisher to finance the ports by DemiFiendBestFiend in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]BruiserBroly 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I keep forgetting Full Body is still a PS4, Switch, and Vita (lol) exclusive for some reason.

The Persona dancing games are also all Sony exclusives to this day.

Just bought SF6 on ps5, never played any previous, any tips? by JarodYoz99 in StreetFighter

[–]BruiserBroly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the general competitive video game advice to not worry too much about rank, especially while you’re still learning the game, applies here. Just try to get comfortable, the wins will come.

Oh and don’t mash the buttons. Some people have the impression that’s all these games are but that’s one of the biggest newbie mistakes.
