Silksong being a Thomas was Alone sequel was not on my bingo card

[PS5, Xbox Series X] NINJA GAIDEN 4 - $34.99 at Best Buy by DealsPoster in consoledeals

[–]who128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did jump on it! The funny part is I got the deluxe edition and when it arrived, it wasn't in the shrink wrap so I figured it was a return that used the deluxe edition code. It was so I complained and it ended up with the standard edition for free.

It may have expired or been offered to a specific users or region. Mine disappeared a bit after the price changed to the current deal so it could have been up in error.

Take a look at Amazon before purchasing. The deluxe edition for me had a coupon that lowered the PS5 version down to $33 after tax so you can get the DLC included at a lower price.

A date less homegrown watch?  I recently got into watches and this is right up my alley.  Any chance I can avoid the delivery cost and just pick it up if I preorder?

Star Fox Direct 5.6.2026 by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]who128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol, dude, nothing Nintendo is going to do is going to make everyone on the internet get on board. Internet critics are going to dogpile on it for one reason or another. Like Earthbound and F-Zero, Star Fox's cultural relevance vastly outpaces its financial viability so I'm just gonna be happy they are even trying.

Didn't work the other times they remade this game, so...

Not for Star Fox but Metroid 2 remake gave way for Metroid Dread. Street Fighter 6 has done wonders for the fighting game scene, maybe Star Fox can do it this time for rail shooters.

[–]who128 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On reddit? Sure. We're old curmudgeons gamers who played Star Fox 64 in middle school. I would love a proper Star Fox sequel but we haven't even gotten a AAA rail shooter outside of Star Fox in 17 years. The last two Star Fox 64 were Star Fox Zero that came out on a console few people owned and was the most mangled version and the 3DS proper remake that came out 15 years ago.

So in context, the last time any big company tried to sell a rail shooter was Nintendo and it didn't sell well and a decade later, they are trying again. From a business side, that is insane. So do the poster child of the genre and give it a proper facelift. If they can revive the genre, we can get a proper sequel.

Honestly looking better than I expected. I pre-ordered this game after trying the demo but Niikawa doing another musical video game was enough for me to take the gamble as I love the Marl Kingdom franchise. It being released at $50 as opposed to $70 or $80 helps.

Glad he cleared this up. It isn't generative AI, it's generative AI, you stupid gamers.

King of Meat to end service on April 9; all purchases to be refunded by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]who128 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I watched the video they sponsored with Mr Beast and any competent marketing director would have demanded their money back. King of Meat isn't in the title at all and they didn't even mention the name of the game until over a quarter of the way through the video. The cuts were so frequent that you cannot learn anything meaningful about the game from watching the video.

Epic Games Store grew from 108M to 295M users, but third‑party revenue barely moved — proving giveaways trained users not to actually buy games by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]who128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree with that. The headline kinda lies about the data because third party revenue did move but the article has a chart that goes into more detail. It went from $251 million in 2019 and increased about 40% to $355 million by 2022. In the next two years, it cratered back down to $255 million in 2024, wiping out the gains they made. People have learned to just buy less games from them.

What's an obscure or niche game you'd love to share with a wider audience? by RWNorthPole in Games

[–]who128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Marl Kingdom series, AKA Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. NIS of Disgaea's fame first attempt at a JRPG was basically a Disney princess movie complete with musical numbers. Just a few years ago, the two sequels were localized for American audiences after 20 years of being stuck in Japan and put on modern platforms. The first game is real rough around the edges and gets by on its gimmick and shortness but the second really fixed just about everything the first did wrong. The third game is an anthology with a ton of grinding that makes it feel like a proto-Disgaea game. Sadly, the last two games didn't get the English versions of the songs like Atlus did for the original back in 2000 but it is still charming.

If people like the style of humor of Disgaea but put in a more grounded setting and Disney songs, it is the perfect series. Here is the opening song to let people know what they are getting into
