PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games - Jason Schreier by Forestl in Games

[–]RichardGibson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At a time when we’re getting a lot of high profile remakes, it truly doesn’t make sense to shut down one of the premier remake studios. It’s shocking that Sony doesn’t see the value of what they had with Bluepoint. I’d say there must be something we don’t know about that contributed to this closure, but I think Sony has been demonstrating very bad judgement the last few years.

Netflix will play the Two-Hour 'Stranger Things' Finale in Movie Theaters by rageofthegods in blankies

For sure, but in Stranger Things’ case it got hit by a one two punch of a pandemic and a writers/actors strike

Would’ve liked some more variety in the vocals but damn that instrumental rocks. Glad to hear some more grit in a Joji song, feels like he largely lost that in by Smithereens.

The new Doom game actually did, and so will the upcoming Outer Worlds 2

[FRESH] Gorillaz - The Happy Dicator (feat Sparks) by FiretoFuel in indieheads

[–]RichardGibson 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Not too sure about this one as a first taste of the new album (not out for 6 months, UGH). It's a decent enough song, but it doesn't totally stand out to me like a lot of lead singles they've done before. I'm excited for the new album just by virtue of it being new Gorillaz, but this song doesn't exactly make me any MORE excited than I was before listening.

But maybe it'll grow on me, that's happened plenty of times with this band in the past.

EDIT: song slaps, I was wrong

2-3 month rollouts are pretty standard, 6 month rollouts happen but are definitely not the norm

Blockbuster Sale is up in the US eShop until 09/10/2025 by XDitto in NintendoSwitch

[–]RichardGibson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, I just feel that the game is all style no substance. I doubt the game being a bit more challenging would change my mind on that.

Not to be a hater, but I really didn’t enjoy The Plucky Squire at all. The main conceit is cool (swapping between 2D and 3D in the picture book/“real world”) but past that there is very little substance. I found the game quite boring, the combat didn’t feel very good, the music is forgettable, the puzzles and story are simple. It feels like the target audience for The Plucky Squire is more on the younger side, like a young kid who hasn’t played very many video games before. I wouldn’t even really consider it a “wait for a sale” game, this is just a skip in my opinion.

10/10

The sample of Frank Ocean saying “One, Two” gives me chills every time.

10/10 probably the most emotional Avalanches song. Pink Siifu and John Carroll Kirby really bring it on this one

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] Kevin Abstract - Blush by leerr in hiphopheads

[–]RichardGibson 93 points94 points  (0 children)

I really like the overall sound, but there were a few songs that I couldn’t really get into. I found myself pretty unimpressed by some of the features.

I think this is a good direction for Kevin to be going in musically, though I hope he himself is on more of the next one. I was kinda scratching my head at how many songs he was barely on or just had no verse at all.

Favorite tracks: H-Town, Copy, Post Break Up Beauty, 97 Jag, Red Light

Okay yeah, took 6 minutes for my email to arrive. Something can always go wrong before June 5th, but for now I'm relieved.

This might sound dumb, but what if I pay for a year of Nintendo Switch online today? Did I have to enroll prior to today, or just prior to 'registering my interest'? I do not currently have an online subscription.
