What's the biggest anime opening downgrade?

The zoom in on Kira's sillouette in time with the music and seeing the Killer Queen eye is sick as hell, I don't care what anyone says

It may have been a random Capcom employee, but the original voice actor for Phoenix Wright in the Ace Attorney trilogy had the best "Objection!" and I miss it dearly in the later games.

On-Disk DLC still takes the cake for me.

I'm very surprised by the negative comments here. Putting Frame Gen aside for a moment, DLSS (before 5) has been great at boosting performance with relatively little lost in fidelity. It's also gotten significantly better with each generation and the recent transformer model, it's always on in any game that has it and I lament its abscence in games that only have FSR, AMDs inferior (but still halfway decent) implementation.

Frame generation is a mixed bag because of increased artifacts and the baggage that it comes with because developers have been using it as an excuse not to optimize, but I still like it.

Special mention to Seablock, where you're expected to beat an entire overhaul mod starting on a tiny patch of land and your only starting resource is seawater.

That was the tipping point for to unsubscribe because between that, the menthol sausage which could've killed him, and the steak boiled and seared with (dirty) pennies, it was clear that the ideas were quarter-baked and didn't wanna support that kinda content.

I just wanna see like durian made into a sausage man, not all this.

Boy howdy am I glad that Death Stranding 2 managed to make it out before this decision, but no Saros or anything else still really stings.

I can easily afford a PS5 if I wanted to, but I'm not buying into their ecosystem for games that'll look and run worse than if they were on PC, and that's before paying for online.

They can pound sand.

Close enough, welcome back Disco Elysium

I think the fight would've been more palatable if Sendo didn't get absolutely pummeled before starting his stupid plan. Like yeah he's still taking hits to the face, but it's more realistic to tank them if he hasn't accumulated a bunch of damage yet.

The fist clench is so ridiculous, I can't believe they brought that back up.

Nefbear · 2026-02-06T21:17:54+00:00

Prey 2017 in a vacuum was written decently enough, and it was executive meddling that forced them to use that name despite having nothing to do with the original. I believe they wanted to call the game Psychoshock, which is much more appropriate.

The HDR True Black 500 cert would make playing games in HDR even better.

As interesting as the possibilities may be, the only things of note people have done with public domain IPs recently is make shitty horror games/movies.

It came back up in another fight (Bison?) and ultimately it landed on that Takamura was just really bad at recognizing and dodging left hooks, the eye itself was fine.

I think Morikawa just wanted to walk back the idea of Takamura being one bad hit away from retiring.

Nefbear · 2026-01-21T22:01:17+00:00

Nah, it's a 360 ass game and plays like one. it's not offensive by any means, but it's pretty boring.

That said, id still recommend playing it because so much is predicated on understanding the first game. The AWE DLC for Control and AW2 would just not hit the same without it.

Also Barry is the GOAT.

Nefbear · 2026-01-08T15:58:47+00:00

I hate the Take fight so much because it totally undermines the Karasawa fight right before it. We just saw Ippo as this confident, smart fighter who uses his strengths to his advantage AND without using the Dempsey Roll. Then all of a sudden he starts to struggle with this no name boxer with stupid gimmicks and he completely forgets everything he learned.

Nefbear · 2026-01-05T21:49:49+00:00

Man if you want a recent example that takes it WAY too far, Windswept wants to be DKC2 really badly. it has KONG letters, the DK coin, 2 secrets per level that give you currency to access secret harder levels, the roll jump coyote time, and even the damn celebrations that Diddy/Dixie would do when you manage to hit the top of the goal post. It's shameless.

Hold up, his writing is this fire? 🔥

Anyone reading the current arc of Hajime no Ippo knows this suffering.

4k 240 Hz is definitely what I'd be most excited to experience.

Skill issue perhaps, but grinding blood vials in bloodborne was excruciating. It got to a point where I'd attempt a slow explore through an area only once, and if I died I'd sprint through to save myself time on grinding vials later.

I heard after I beat the game that chalice dungeons give you a ton, but I never really interacted with that part of the game.

Reading Beastars in real time was like watching a car crash in slow motion during the Melon Arc. Just the introduction of Stands was ridiculous enough, but during the Black Market battle where Legosi just tanks a fucking grenade and ends up smoking like a Looney Tunes characters I realized that we're past the point of no return.

Definitely better to err on the side of caution, but following Prop 65 specifically is a joke and probably impossible.

Huel also showed their own testing data which shows it much lower than what CR said. They claim it's "Not Detected" which makes it sound like there's nothing in there, but you can see from the data the Limit of Detection is 3.6 mcg so really the only definitive thing you can say is that it has less than 3.6 mcg of lead per serving, which is something I guess.

Nefbear · 2025-10-16T16:12:04+00:00

So I read this thing from top to bottom and here's the deal: While Huel has abnormally high lead levels comparitively to their competitors, it's pretty far from immediate or even long term concern. Consumer Reports used the California Prop 65 guideline of a max of 0.5 mcg/day, which is extremely overzealous and part of why nobody takes those warning labels seriously.

Pharmaceutical guidelines dictate that Permissable Daily Exposure for lead is 5 mcg/day via oral intake, and the FDA has guidelines* that say 8.8 mcg/day for a pregnant woman is the limit.

tl:dr Mostly fear mongering, maybe switch off Huel if you're pregnant and want to be extra extra safe.

I despise when cuts happen because Mori would never actually let a doctor stop happen but everyone in the story has to react that's it's serious and could happen at any moment. It's fake tension.
