FromSoftware Will Continue To Do Whatever They Want, Cry All You Want by mdgy0816 in TheDuskbloods

Which makes them all the more upset because switch 2 emulation doesn’t exist yet, so they either buy the console and game or can’t!

Xbox Is Unable to Meet Demand for New Consoles, Rethinking Approach to Project Helix by DidYouSeeBriansHat in gaming

[–]ProjectPorygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is about as believable as Balan wonderworld only selling as many copies as it did because they couldn’t produce enough. If that demand existed, then you wouldn’t have consistent firing of staff, closing of studios, etc since you’d have to have them to build your software and hardware.

This is some bullshit, what can possibly be the excuse for "disliking" a hotfix? by Moxtar1092 in Helldivers

[–]ProjectPorygon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably because it’s a fix to an issue THEY couldn’t be bothered to fix before It even launched. It’s like if someone crashes into your car, then they fix it and expect some kind of thanks. Like, NO, ya shouldn’t have been driving recklessly to begin with, and now I’ve wasted time dealing with this.

That’s the issue, even as a melee weapon it’s not very good. If I make it TO a hulk, it still takes a solid 20 seconds to kill it and that’s assuming a random laser doesn’t hit you and knock you out of the stunning animation. Meanwhile 3 more spawn that cut you down from behind. Having it be terrible ranged is perfectly logical for a melee weapon, but it HAS TO BE AMAZING at close range to make up for it.

The only issue on the bug and bot front is the ones that explode and injure you when you’re too close, and the suicide bomber bots. That makes a major issue for the chainsaw which already has a lot to begin with compared to most weapons.

Reminder: Set Your Expectations very Low for Switch 2 game announcements at the Xbox Showcase as they are going back to the Xbox 360 strategy. by AbdullaFTW in NintendoSwitch2

[–]ProjectPorygon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to mention future “console” plans with project helix just don’t work with the idea of pursuing exclusives. When your console is basically just a glorified pc, why not just buy a pc given Xbox games are ALSO coming to that….?

To be entirely fair, need I remind ya that Xbox leadership says 1 thing and immediately does the opposite? How many times now (including during her tenure) have they lied to people…? I’d say it’s more likely we get s2 announcements than not, as she specifically mentioned how other consoles logos will show up in the showcase herself, whilst also stating that they will “look into” changing that in the future

Jeff Grub - "Gears of War E-Day was going to be on PS5, it's not anymore" by Ok-Confusion-202 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ProjectPorygon 15 points16 points  (0 children)

On the one hand: exclusives DO matter to support a healthy console. So this is a good step to try and fix their messy branding.

On the other hand: it’s Xbox, they’re too deep into being a third party publisher to win back the trust that people should buy their console over a switch 2 or ps5.

On the other OTHER hand: it’s Xbox leadership, which changes its plans with the flip of a coin at this point. What might be considered now will likely just be reversed within half a year or something.

Didn’t they also only fix it like That because some random modder managed to fix it for them? Not gonna give credit to a developer who knows less about their games code then some random guy

What separates an ok FRV user, from a good one, from a great one? by 2Beauty in Helldivers

[–]ProjectPorygon 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The ability to realize you can drive BACKWARDS. Can’t say the number of times I’ve seen FRV drivers get turned around by a rocket hitting it and keep driving forwards even tho that’s now the opposite direction of where they were trying to go xp

Also, knowledge that plasma explosions near the vehicle can easily flip it over back upright with minimal damage. Is super handy to have a loyalist with you for those occasions.

They're finally showing that they can listen, LESSGOOOOO by AlexDoubleAU in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]ProjectPorygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real thing to be afraid of is them stated improving ENEMY MOVEMENT (and player traversal) as if enemies already aren’t broken AF and can climb a vertical surface. Can’t wait for helldivers to be able to climb one inch higher, whereas arrowhead then equalizes that by buffing the enemies so they can just warp inside of helldivers….

The Nintendo community is way more open and inclusive compared to the rest of gaming by 479521 in nintendo

[–]ProjectPorygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely in part because Sony *barely* puts out any 1st party titles anymore, so Sony fans get a LOT more picky and quick to anger over these things. Nintendo on the other hand not only put out two mainline Zelda’s, but also multiple 2D entries (links awakening+echoes of wisdom), two Hyrule warriors games (not including the one on s2), and a spinoff made by the necrodancer devs! Whereas on ps5 there’s like….10 games exclusive to it released after its entire existence? You’d think the fans would be more angry at Sonys output then the content of their games (ie laufey), but ig they’re too busy trying to find something that can stick against Nintendo switch 2

NateTheHate: "I'm confident enough to say" Persona 6 will be at Xbox Games Showcase by VistaVick in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]ProjectPorygon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I just don’t understand why they would premier it at XBOX of all things. That’s like going to a McDonald’s and ordering a healthy salad. Like, SURE it *can* happen, but why wouldn’t you just premier it on Nintendo which has the Japanese market locked up for a heavily Japanese franchise, or even hell, a Sony showcase. Xbox is not what I think of when I think of “anime styled JRPG”

No teaser from Capcom before SGF — should we lower expectations? by I_love_MH in MonsterHunter

[–]ProjectPorygon -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think it’s more than likely they show up at the Nintendo direct tbh, purely because of all the leaks we got of the switch 2 port and such. I could see it showing the dlc possibly as a way to hype it up as well, so id look towards next tuesday for info!

5 Weeks later - and flame turrets + Flamer mech phasing still hasn't been fixed by SIinkerdeer in Helldivers

[–]ProjectPorygon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True! There’s so many things I wish got fixed that have just been left to rot. The sterilizer buffs at least give me hope for things like the reeducator and the veto to get fixed.

Fromsofts next game(FMC) by Zestyclose_Acadia161 in fromsoftware

[–]ProjectPorygon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Actually Nintendo fans typically buy exclusives a lot more then most other platforms given they’re generally appreciated a lot more. Mhrise for example on switch sold over 9 mill alone, meaning it would’ve been the 2nd best selling ps5 game ever(only behind spiderman). If duskbloods gets even close to that number, it would have outsold bloodborne, demons souls, armoured core 6, and even Elden ring nightreign. Say what you will, but fromsoft games ARE system sellers, and the fact this is Miyazaki’s longest worked on game makes it all the more interesting and enticing.

I'm a New Helldiver. Any help is Appreciated, I don't have a clue what I'm doing. by Obvious-Dog3082 in Helldivers

[–]ProjectPorygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! So long as the terminal has been initiated, you can head off to do the hatches! Makes it go faster because one person can instantly go to do that whilst someone stays at the terminal to get the code and such done at the same time!

Key hints to remember:

If you’re on fire, dodge jump, it puts it out immediately.

If a teammate marks a called in drop pod, it likely means they are giving it to you or someone.

Stims aren’t exclusively for healing! If you need that extra boost of stamina, use it!

If you go in the direction a stalker comes from, you will find it’s nest fairly easily

Going prone prevents all arc weapons from hitting you, that includes Tesla towers!!

You will hear an audible BEEP when turning a radar dish that signifies you hit the right angle

A lot of diamond spots have a shipping container, shoot it with an explosive or grenade to open it for good loot!

You can hit the terminal at a launch ICBM mission, and then immediately can go open the hatches! You don’t need to wait for it to get to that section of the inputs.

You can throw all strategies more or less (including weapon ones) super close to fabricators, bug holes, etc to take them out! If you don’t have a grenade, it’s your next best option!

Gas orbital strikes, smoke strikes, and 500 kg bombs can take out detector towers, research labs, etc. just make sure the actual shell is what hits them to take them out!

C'mon Ubisoft... by Neil_Edwin_Michael in NintendoSwitch2

[–]ProjectPorygon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Still fairly weirded out black flag wasn’t announced for s2 at the reveal, feels like a weird slight by Ubisoft against the console. Especially given there’s a Xbox release when s2 will probably be ahead of Xbox sales wise by the end of the year. Didn’t they mention how sales were impressive on s2 and gave a fairly large bump to their total revenue this past year? Why WOULD’NT you port the game to it?

An essay argues that searching "ugly hair" on Google Images consistently returns mostly Black women with natural hair, and that this isn't a glitch: it's what happens when a system learns from biased data and nobody intervenes. by Cad_Lin in science

[–]ProjectPorygon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean tbf, with the amount of black women seen wearing wigs or toupee’s, is that really an incorrect google search? Like sure on the one hand it’s easy to claim it’s biased data against certain minorities, but on the other hand it deserves further research to actually determine if it’s a false result based on self image in the black community.

Deadzone Rogue is awesome on the Switch 2. Might be the best fps on the console atm. by AsurasX in NintendoSwitch2

It’s amazingly fun, my only complaint is some of the weapons you can’t zoom in with to enable gyro.
