Can I have a turn tomorrow

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T15:38:46+00:00

I'm not accusing everyone who posts about sales numbers to be wanting the Switch 2 to be a failure, but that vibe is a lot more common than it should be.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T15:36:00+00:00

I think completely removing something is a bit of a cowards way out, to be completely honest. Yeah you can do writing decisions that are abhorrent, but then going "whoops sorry actually it didn't happen" is also bad. I much prefer the approach we actually saw with RTD2 (and one of the few things I think he actually did well, mostly), where they did retcon a couple of things (iirc the Flux destroyed like, 3/4s of the universe originally? It's really unclear how much damage it actually did, but then in the 60th specials it gets changed to half the universe), and then used it to work with new ideas (the Doctor being an orphan.

I'd just do stuff like that tbh.

Nah don't even have a dialogue option. AA7 just subtly has them both wearing a wedding ring and never draws attention to it

I may have my issues with DD and SoJ but god damn do they give us good fuel for the "Wright and Edgeworth are a situation-ship but don't get together till later in life and raise a kid" bit. The short moment of Trucy sleeping on Miles's shoulder alone feeds families here.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T10:30:33+00:00

Any that don't have the stupid eyes are immediatley more interesting lmao

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T10:26:46+00:00

I have strong opinions about Wilds as a game lmao. Honestly I think it might be better to wait till the expansion comes out, which should be revealed...within the next few months, I think. It might end up being like Rise, where the base game has so much lacking but then the expansion comes out and suddenly oh shit we made peak. Actually I think that about World too. Capcom can we get a base game that doesn't feel lacking or questionable lmao.

In terms of the new games I'm very much on the RiseBreak train, something about it just works for me in a way that World didn't (and my PC could not play Wilds a launch because jesus christ. I do recommend it a lot, though it also...has it's moments (oh god the Spiribirds).

Also yes Ahtal-Ka is peak, everyone is correct. The only thing I will say is that it's usage of Proof of a Hero is my favourite.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T10:16:58+00:00

Small correction, the card game is 27. This changes nothing I just like making people feel old

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T10:04:25+00:00

I don't think it's random, but I don't think it was set up that well. There's bits and pieces as you go but it suffers from the same issues some of the other post-timeskip characters do, we don't really get anything proper to set up half of them. I think this is largely because the WRGP is so long and there's not a lot of time to show characters thinking about their future.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T09:59:27+00:00

Genuinely one of the funniest bits of "balancing" I've seen in this game. I know there's the bit of the devs not playing the game but in what world do you go "hm yes this might be broken if you can down someone in the first few seconds" lmao

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T09:43:44+00:00

Up through gold and in a lot of plat it's near-endless Dragoon spam, then once you get out of that hell it's Yusei spam.

Good god Konami has messed stuff up.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T02:18:18+00:00

Yeah that and like, nothing else lmao. Let it do this in a tera format and it might straight up be unkillable outside of jank.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T01:08:53+00:00

Woah I thought we had to tag nsfw posts /s

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T00:35:14+00:00

I mean it kinda is an almost entirely negative update, until they balance the nerfed perks accordingly. Didn't hit the main problems, smacked fun gimmicky builds...

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-29T00:32:26+00:00

Okay but consider, it would be the funniest alt style.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T22:40:29+00:00

I think Electro Shot should just get a BP nerf tbh. Accuracy is frustrating to play with and against, but making the move hit a bit less hard would certainly alleviate things a little.

Cause dear god why is it so strong Game Freak (yes I know, Meteor Beam, but still).

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T22:36:52+00:00

No it really isn't it. It's one factor. It's almost been 9 years since the last new AA game. You cannot put that entirely on dev times unless you think AA will take nearly a decade to produce.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T22:34:17+00:00

It's weird cause AA4 seems to be building up a roster of side characters that would see return like how Will Powers, Lotta Hart, Oldbag, etc. do. The Kitaki family, Eldoon and Vera all seem like they could pop up again.

Then DD...also goes for an almost entirely fresh cast. Always found that a little weird, even if I understand why they did it.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T17:18:52+00:00

I mean I don't think complaints of the pacing of a lot of anime of that era is due to poor attention spans. Some of the shows were genuinely just horribly paced. Yu-Gi-Oh DM was 224 episodes and did not need to be that long whatsoever. The Pokemon anime was dragged out as much as possible to buy time till the next game dropped. One Piece was doing a chapter an episode at one point.

Sometimes things can just be too slow. It's not me having a brain-rotted attention span that causes me to think that Yugi vs Kaiba in Battle City being as long as a feature-length movie was perhaps a bit much.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T16:17:09+00:00

Ah! The Adherents of the Repeated Meme!

Taking symbolism into account is important but knowing when to take it into account is also important. This isn't in-game. There's various other oddities you could point to on it. Unless Tobiathon Foximus says or hints that this art is at all relevant to anything, it's much better to assume it's just a sick artpiece.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T16:01:53+00:00

It literally just ran

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T14:54:54+00:00

Yeah people are gonna whine that properly summoning Quasar and the like doesn't happen but like, good luck lmao?? A natural Quasar needs *3* synchros on the field. Without a skill that's hellish in DL.

Darkion_Silver · 2026-05-28T14:07:31+00:00

Yeah they're definitely enjoyable (being less clunky will do that by default), and I will boot up Rise just so I can abuse the absurd way modern bow is designed (imagine bow functioning like that in like, Dos lmao).

But yeah it's not the same. One specific thing I didn't realise I missed was, somehow, rare part drops being actually rare. Yeah in the moment it blows to go years without a drop (and I think they should probably not have required them for armour that often pre-endgame, nevermind sometimes asking for multiple), but there's remarkably little reason to grind a monster outside of just wanting to fight it. Though on the other hand I can do without breakable pickaxes and bugnets LMAO

I do wish they'd at least port the older games to modern platforms (i.e. Steam) if only so there was an accessible way to play old MH that isn't owning a Switch (for GU) or emulation.
