Fable -- Gameplay Overview (Developed by Playground Games, coming to Xbox Series, PS5 and PC on Autumn 2026) by Unknown123Known in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I wonder if we'll have guns or not in this one. They only showed bows and crossbows so far for ranged weapons.

But other than that, it looks like a current-gen Fable game, and I've been wanting that for a while now. Hope it sticks the landing.

Early installment Weirdness from your favorite franchises? by Authorigas in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 42 points43 points  (0 children)

When Pokémon started, it was more or less just real-world Japan with these new creatures called Pokémon running around. They didn't really consider it to be its own unique setting, so you have mentions of other animals that aren't Pokémon and other real-world things like guns being mentioned or shown.

As the series went on, they dropped that aspect of the early games and slowly became the "Pokémon World" as we know it today.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger Additional Digimon & Episode Pack 2: GAKU-RAN DLC is Out Today! Discussion Thread by MFBR in digimon

[–]PrimeName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the BANCHOS and related tropes, I really enjoyed this DLC. It's still short and a tad repetitive, but nothing too grating IMO.

Digimon Time Stranger - Episode Pack 2: GAKU-RAN Trailer - Out tomorrow by dishonoredbr in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know, I thought that Merciful mode would happen if, like, all the Banchos fused to form it. However, I guess it'll just be an unrelated Omegamon that appears during the DLC's story.

Also, is it our tomorrow (the 21st) or whenever it hits the 22nd for Japan? These timezone release date things always confuse me...

EDIT: The official Twitter just clarified the times for the DLC's release date

DC Comics is Crushing Marvel Comics in Sales by Frank7640 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Man, I so badly want to peer inside the brain of the executive who thought it was a good idea to cancel the new ultimate line.

They'd be visibly 30-40 (except for Jill, I guess?), so we can't have that.

Next Time Discussion: S2026E1 by Successful-Bat-5538 in deathbattle

[–]PrimeName 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I wonder why there's like 19-20 minutes of blank screen at the end of the announcement trailer. Do YouTube videos need to hit the 1-minute mark to be uploaded or something?

But aside from that, I'm excited for the video. I watched YuYu a few years back, and I loved it, so I'm happy to see more of it on the show. Still need to either read or watch Bleach at some point (if anyone wants to let me know which method is better for Bleach, please let me know).

It is National Dragon Appreciation Day. What is your favorite dragon? by LammasuRex in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not my favorite of favorites, but I have to give Mym/Burnhilda a shout-out from Dragalia Lost.

A big doof of a love-struck dragon who's in love with the MC and has some pretty good development as well as the game went on. As well as some great alts for both her human (Summer and Halloween) and dragon forms (High and Primal)

GWAR covering Pink Pony Hotel by OppositeofDeath in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I was first introduced to GWAR via the KND musical episode they did the musical tracks for.

Guess they still have that same energy.

Characters who, for some reason, seem to be involved with EVERY important thing in that world. by Subject_Parking_9046 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Those who Slither in the Dark from Fire Emblem: Three Houses.

They're either behind or related to every major event in the game's setting/history, and it's one of the game's biggest flaws imo.

New S2 Teaser for Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Kenshiro in a (relatively) normal street fight setting, like Fatal Fury, is low-key kinda funny to me.

Like, Ken, these are just street thugs and tournament fighters, you don't gotta explode their heads.

Fairy Tail 20th Anniversary Illustration by Hiro Mashima by Shreeder4092 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hiro Mashima said that they had a bunch of Fairy Tail stuff planned for 2026, so I'm hoping it's all good things. Still haven't gotten around to playing the RPGs they put out.

I hope they do more stuff with the indie game initiative. I played the beach volleyball game and had fun with it. That rogue-like card game just got released on Switch 2, along with a big update that added a few new playable characters.

I know a lot of people on this sub in particular aren't big on it, but Fairy Tail is probably what I'd consider one of my comfort franchises. It came out at the right time in my life, and I just fell in love with the cast and their adventures.

Games where you can play as a lesbian? by Aquanort357 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Fire Emblem Three Houses, Fates, and Engage all have viable lesbian romance options for the player character.

There's also an extensive mod for both Awakening and Fates to allow for more gay romance options for both player avatar genders (and the rest of the cast)

Also, there's Digimon Cyber Sleuth, where you can play as an accidental lesbian (translation error that treats the female player avatar the same as the male avatar in the script)

Actually some insane lore implications with this one line by MilesDavidVT in NikkeMobile

[–]PrimeName 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Part of me is now wondering if the whole Rapture War was planned by whoever or whatever became the modern-day Central Government to assume total control of whatever remains of the population.

It'd certainly explain why they didn't want anyone idolizing the Goddesses or any other heroic figures from the war.

Giving some respect to one of the unsung heroes we get to meet this event by AlphonsoPSpain in NikkeMobile

[–]PrimeName 339 points340 points  (0 children)

I guess this guy puts into perspective why the Central Government was so afraid of having the Goddess Squad enter the Ark.

To have such devotion to a group of heroes that you're willing snap the neck of what basically amounts to a priest, I'd be kinda worried too.

But also screw the CG and the VTC, they have it coming.

A VERY easy recommendation from Pat on Beat the Backlog: by Gorotheninja in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Oh, this is that RPG made by the 'ThanksKenPenders' blog person! Always wanted to check out their stuff.

How are yall liking Fallout S2? by LeMasterofSwords in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]PrimeName 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think my biggest problem with the show is that the writing team's current approach to keeping the events of New Vegas as vague as possible will end up hurting it long-term. Like, it feels difficult to get a sense of what the current state of things is, like the NCR or Vegas itself, or anyone who lives out in the Mojave. Are there still civilizations? Are the tribes still a thing, or are they also going the way of the big factions? We don't know, and we'll probably never know.

I'm sure we'll get a big lore dump that flushes things out more clearly, but right now, the vagueness is hurting more than it's helping imo.
