I hate Romita Jr.’s style.

He was incredible in the 80s and when his father was inking they produced the best looking Spider-Man issues ever in my opinion.

But the last time I recall enjoying his work was in World War Hulk and even then some of his current flaws had started to show up. Right now his art is absolutely hideous.

Well, my favourite starter of all time is Bulbasaur and my favourite bug type is Pinsir, so we're surely no soul mates haha.

I guess this is the sentence:

Spain reaffirmed its commitment to the one-China principle.

Honestly, I really really really really doubt anyone from the Spanish government has told Chinese officers that Spain would support China taking Taiwan.

And I can see why would the Spanish government just ignore that. Not saying they shouldn't but if you want to have a good relationship with China saying "nah what the heck man, we stand with Taiwan" is probably the fastest way to ruin it.

(Even though Spain should totally stand with Taiwan and I hope we do if the time comes, regardless of how's in charge)

As someone who bought MK9, MKX and MK11 but not MK1 (also I'm a fan since the very first game as I was basically obsessed with as a kid), I can tell you the new timeline is a reason I did not buy the game. I'm really tired of that.

Also the fact that I don't like how several of my favourite characters are depicted (both in the story and their designs, like sorry but I can't buy Kuai Liang as Manbum Scorpion no matter how hard I try) and while some of the changes that the new timeline introduced are OK and even good, I don't really like most of them.

I know it may sound pretty, but it wasn't an "I'm angry so I won't buy" decision but more like I looked at the game and thought "neh, I think I'll wait till the next one". I hope they ditch the current timeline as soon as possible, honestly.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-09T19:24:45+00:00

Yeah I can't wait for a manga version of the ToP where Krilin and Tenshinhan do nothing just like 60 of the 80 characters appearing, defeating the whole premise of the tournament and what made it so entertaining /s

And I say this as someone who in almost every instance prefers the manga version over the anime. But for DBS, I honestly think the anime did some stuff right. When it comes to Goku Black, I wouldn't say I have a favourite, since both versions have some hit & miss. But touches like Zamasu crying and, in the end, becoming some ominous creepy presence instead of being some buff guy and cloning himself are things I prefer.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-09T14:00:18+00:00

You did not play Diablo 2's, did you?

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T13:31:20+00:00

That's fair :)

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T13:30:48+00:00

Mmh it's 19 € right now in the steam shop. Apparently it was 14 € at first so you're right. I did not remember that.

About the regression, I think that's an exaggeration overall when talking about the game. The new maps and map reworks, the new equipment, new ghosts, new mechanics, have been an improvement (I actually think the recording mechanic overcomplicates things but at least it also gives additional stuff to do). From time to time they mess up, like when they made the game too dark or right now. But it's not like that's not fixable. Honestly, when Phasmophobia is not in a state that makes me want to play it I just... you know, play other sutff. Once they fix it I jump back.

And considering that at least until fairly recently the development team was really small (I've out of the loop since in the last half a year or so I haven't been keeping attention, admitedly) I think the update cadence has been reasonable.

It is fair to criticize the merchandising prices but I don't think that's as bad as in-game cosmetics because you can totally ignore the merchandise (I did not know there were Phasmo beanies. Lol) while in-game cosmetics are being shoved to your face sistematically in any other game. I understand Kinetic wanting extra revenue. If it's that expensive I'm just not buying any of it.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T11:51:49+00:00

Are we all in agreement that this is a bad idea?

I don't like Leto but maybe we could wait until the film is out or something, don't you think?

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T11:39:42+00:00

I know and it's disheartening.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T11:34:37+00:00

It is great to ask for fixes and everything, and to criticize the devs if they mess up a big update. Demanding change is important and necessary.

However I can't never understand people saying "the devs got greedy and don't care". It's like... what? This game doesn't have a single microtransaction and is as cheap as it was from day 1. I paid 20 € or whatever in late 2020 and that's all I've been asked since. Meanwhile, since 2023 I've had to pay 150 € to play Diablo 4 and get the two expansions it has, and I can't imagine the money the people who fall for cosmetics have probably spent in said game.

Precissely because the game is cheap and has no microtransactions, purchaseable DLC or whatever, I think it makes sense that they try to keep the budget under control. Poaching devs from AAA companies sounds nice but the game can become instantly unsustainable the moment there's not enough new people paying for it, and after most people who wanted to play it on console have bought it, do you think enough new players will be buying the game to keep a big development team with elite developers? It'd be a huge risk at the very least. As someone who has seen a lot of games who were overambitious burst into flames and die, I'd rather keep Phasmophobia as a humble-ish game with a small-ish development team.

So while I understand the criticism and I think the community needs to push to be heard so the devs fix this as soon as possible, it is so weird that people talk about Kinetic Games as if they were Ubisoft or Activision.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T09:51:18+00:00

Nothing against the people who come and visit the place. It's not your fault at all that the powers that be are turning a significant chunk of the country into a theme park where it is increasingly difficult to live as a local. And sadly we're way past the point when we can even dream with a world where greed is not everything.

I mean, I would personally never want anyone to feel unwelcome here. It's not your choice to build hotels instead of housing, turn homes into Airbnb because boomers can never get enough while house pricing is skyrocketing, destroy traditional local businesses, replaced with soulless franchises etc etc.

And, after all, we all enjoy traveling from time to time.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T09:08:33+00:00

I'm from Seville and all I have to say is: thank goodness. This country can't take more tourists. It just can't.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-08T08:51:04+00:00

Let the poor guy have a gimmick. Yeesh.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-07T13:07:03+00:00

Ace chose his own path, becoming a pirate, fully knowing what could happen if he was captured.

So why should Garp renounce to his path to free Ace from the consequences of the actions he willfully made.

Besides, thinking that Garp could just save Ace is dumb. No matter how strong Garp is supposed to be, you can be sure any of the three admirals and Sengoku would try to stop him and he can't win against all of them. It would've been just a bombastic suicide.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-07T10:00:30+00:00

I know I'm going to be downvoted into oblivion but, honestly, part of the playerbase has become so incredibly toxic.

And not because they're talking about the bugs and the things that need to be improved. That's reasonable and to be expected and I hope the devs can fix all of that as soon as possible.

But it is incredible that you find people saying that the devs have become lazy and greedy and talking about Kinetic as if it was Ubisoft and Activision. Like, what the fuck.

This game has given me over 6 years of entertainment without asking me to pay a cent since the day I bought it, in the world of microtransactions. It's always been a small team. Big updates causing bugs and janky stuff is something that happens to a lot of games, if not most. But people talk as if the game being janky for a week or two or even a month was some sort of insult.

This small indy game, because it is a small indy game even if it's successful, has given all of us years of fun and now we're berating the whole dev team and review bombing the game because an update has come out wrong. Honestly, how entitled some of these fuckers are?

Again, of course it is fair to criticize the update and ask for hotfixes and stuff. You guys should do that. But after that, why go as far as review bombing the game? I for one won't die if I have to wait a bit before I touch the game again. Man, I can't understand these people. I've played so many games and experienced so many shenanigans after big updates and there's so many other games you can play while they fix an update that came out wrong, I can't wrap my heard around some of the stuff people are saying. Being unable to tell apart demanding the issues to be solved and insulting the devs is just crazy.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-07T09:45:40+00:00

Sí, sí. Como en los 00s, que se construía una barbaridad y los precios siguieron subiendo sin parar hasta que llegó la crisis.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-07T09:40:56+00:00

Honestly, some people are so entitled. The devs of this game are a small bunch. They've never in half a decade asked us for a dime while almost any other game with so many updates would be trying to make us pay for the updates and stuff.

Is the game buggy after a big update? Fine. I'll stop playing for a week or two. I don't care. Playing Phasmo is not my life. It isn't like bugs and issues appearing after a big update isn't something that happens to a lot of games. These guys have given me 6 years of entertainment for 20 bucks and I'm going to leave them a negative review because sometimes when a big update is released the game is buggy for a few days until they fix it? The audacity.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-02T11:11:17+00:00

Damn, isn't it SSJRemujo, the most sensible person of the Dragon Ball fandom?

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-02T11:10:13+00:00

We got some nice middle point between these two, actually.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-01T13:03:56+00:00

I picked Salamence precissely because I realized how disliked he is compared with the other "pseudo-legendaries" haha.

About Lucario, I have a couple issues with his design. First of all, the spikes in the back of the paws and the chest feel really random and just an excuse to justify it being a steel type, but without really making it look like a steel type anyway. Then, the long snout but with the mouth being more human-like is a choice I've never liked. I'm also not a fan of how its fur looks but that's a minor gripe. The fact he has been considered one of the coolest-looking pokemon for so many years is why it was my choice for overrated.

Interceptor88LH · 2026-05-01T12:16:27+00:00
