So... are you guys expecting a direct announcement tomorrow at all?

No and even if there was one, I wouldn't expect inklings.

Be prepared.

Well they're all Nintendo employees. I dunno if I'd say it's from watching it. haha

HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM UNITY? Are you still trudging out unfinished trash of your big named games?


Not even Call of Duty ever did this and probably won't ever since Activision won't just make something this bad

Man...that kinda sucks, since I was really hoping Syndicate would be a big improvement. Here's hoping it was a really early build that bugged like that...?

It sucks too since Assassin's Creed is a genuinely good series, and I'd hoped Unity was just a bump in the road...

 

[AreJay25]

Honestly I'm just looking forward to the inevitable glitch compilation for Syndicate.

The Unity compilation is the stuff of legends.

Turns out I was right, asexuality is in fact considered to be a mental illness by the scientific community and psychologists, as is transexuality too, and many people who identify as these things, the more rational ones at least, will admit what is and what isn't fact.

*Nintendo announces it's going out of business*
^absolute worst case scenario

I don't expect to hear a thing until the Video Game Awards, if Nintendo even shows up there. At this point, it's safe to keep your expectations low so that you would be pleasantly surprised when something does come up.

After all, the past two weeks Nintendo has been releasing key titles. Would they release a Direct that could potentially shift consumer attention from, say, Tri Force Heroes?

It's all TMV, guys.

 

[epicmartin7]

So... this is not to cause the private video fiasco again, but I found something interesting. I went to this Nintendo Life article and found out they linked a NintendoJP private video that is probably separate from the Febuary Nintendo Direct one.

I'm just wondering if someone could maybe extract the Thumbnail from it to see what it potentially is, or at least show me how to .

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm an idiot.

Can I really say how dissapointing the decline of AC is to me?
I never finished AC1 from a case of broken disc (whoops) but the theme was awesome and I looooooove games where mobility is key (Rayman origins, Brink, etc) so I loved it even if I really can't say i've played it.

Then AC2 happened which was godlike. Everything was improved from waht I had played by so much. SO much cleaner of a game. Ezio was even a likeabale character.
Then Brotherhood happened. WOOH was that one a doozy. Not only was ancient Rome an amazing locale (bias) but even more things were improved. DaVincis missions were pretty cool too. One of my favorite games ever. It also made Ezio my favorite character in all of gaming for a pretty long time (EX before this year.)
Revelations was good but not as good.
AND I LOVED THE MULTIPLAYER TOO. It was so much fun thinking tactically instead of running and holding down right trigger once in a while.

Then 3 was a let down. . .then black flag was a ship simulator (didn;t play it because I hated the ship sequences lol)

Then unity. . .speaks for itself. . . and now this.
Really sad a series I loved is down the toilet. :/

Cases like these are why I mostly stick to Nintendo games and a few third-party/indie games.

Apparently there's already a half-gig "Day 1 Patch" for it. Err... I guess a Day -2 patch actually.

Honestly, I don't have a problem with them taking out those costumes in Fatal Frame V. I don't think we really need any more super sexualized costumes for female characters in games (especially ones who canonically are minors); it seems to me like we have more than enough of that stuff already.

The replacement costumes seem a lot better than the originals to me anyway.

Just because something is sexy doesn't automatically make it "sexualized". Sexy isn't inherently bad at all nor something I think that should be shunned or taken away from adult consumers (again the game is rated M).

While it seems only slight, I think the removal cheapens the fact that she's a Gravure Model and makes the new scene a bit silly to watch after all is said and done.


I've also heard that the costumes also provided a harder challenge for the player compared to most, but I haven't found confirmation of this and personally don't believe it to be true. I guess we'll see down the line.

Trust me, I know all to well about people complaining some outfit is "sexist" or has bad undertones. Censorship is something I don't agree with, but there's some points where I can kinda agree with it though. The skimpy outfit I could care less about, but considering that they may be less than 18, I can kinda see why they may not want to have that in the game.

Since a character's age is not something that I find that tangible, and since the majority of most states in America have an age consent of 16 or 17 (the age of the characters in the game), it may be why I never found a huge issue with it as it seems to be an easy fix. Unless I'm wrong about the ages, the characters here are 17 and 19 and can be easily passed off as older if need be, so which is why I find it easily ignorable or tweaked. I can still understand somewhat though but for me it seems easy to separate it from fictional characters.

Other than that, I still feel like people are over reacting. A game they may really enjoy but won't get because one skin that doesn't affect the game got removed. THAT'S what irritates me.

I largely agree with this notion. I support consumers using their wallet to voice their concerns but I hope the consumers also realize that they won't be helping the developers of Fatal Frame because of the actions of localizers.

I think people are starting to realize that this problem will not go away. We all know that especially Nintendo is notorious for these practices and have been for decades. and won't seem to stop anytime soon, so I think people are being desperate when it comes to their ultimatums with "no purchasing". In the end, it seems many are doing this out of principle then against the actual costumes themselves. They want to stop this practice and the only way they know how is to show that it isn't a financially viable option.

After all, at the end of the day $$$ talks. The reason why practices like DLC got so out of hand recently is because despite people's complaints many still bought it anyway, fueling the market place for them. As much as people complain about censorship and changed artistic content from localizations, people still buy these localized games anyway so nothing changes. Basically, they are trying to voice their concerns with their wallet in hopes to stop this practice but by doing so the devs of Fatal Frame, whom are already screwed because a horror game is being released on the underperforming Wii U, will get caught in the crossfire.

Personally, I think consumers have every right to not buy a game for any reason they see fit, so I generally don't get mad at any reason for not buying a game, but I understand how the notion of throwing away a game because of changed content is silly, as the core gameplay is still intact and any story altering seems for now only minimal. In this case, I actually largely agree. But I completely understand what those who claim they won't buy are trying to do, even if it's likely futile (I don't think those who saying they won't buy will keep to that anyway).


Again, as I've seen with some other games, I hope controversies like these encourage more and more to import and get into fan translating for alternatives when things like this happens so that they can still support developers while being outside of localizations. I think such alternatives are sorely needed.

Assuming this is true (I hate articles that only quote one source) as long as people keep buying it, this trend will continue with this franchise.

This is basically me, minus not liking Black Flag (I actually really liked it; plus I love ship-to-ship combat).

I'd gone over to a friend's house one weekend and we just went all out playing 2, Brotherhood, and Revelations. Such good times. Black Flag happened a year or so later of course, but still. Those games were something. But then seeing Unity, it just, I dunno, kinda hurts. And now Syndicate's going down that same road.

Also Ezio is best assassin. Even Soul Calibur V thinks so. Unpopular opinion incoming: I actually enjoyed V. I played the hell out of Ezio and Raphael.

"Since a character's age is not something that I find that tangible"
[while being taken to jail]
Zynux- "She looked 18!"
XD
I jest.
But seriously...
As a note, laws concerning sex are very grey and precarious in many cases and go beyond those concerning consent. I mean in most states you need to be at least 18+ to send or receive lewd photos. You also have to be at least 18 to get married except in some places where you can do so at 16 if you get consent from your parents. You also need to be 18+ to be in "adult films" or take "adult photos" (ties into laws concerning sending lewd photos) so it's not really the same.

I guess the point is that there's often a difference between an age where you're allowed to privately express or experiment with your sexuality and an age where you can openly do so. Whether or not this should be the case is an entirely different argument.

Soul Calibur 5 isn't really a bad game. I believe it has the best gameplay in the series and the Character Creator is even better but the roster and story mode sucks all types of ass to where it's really hard to sit there and enjoy when your favorites are replaced by wannabe rejects with those favorite character's movesets

I wish they didn't do that, the ticket has the theatre number and time on it, it doesn't need to say "AVX 3D", but whatever.

Also, I would have got a 2D ticket because I can't even see 3D, but apparently it isn't playing in 2D the first couple days.

I didn't so much mind the new cast, but 3 mimics and 2 copied characters did not really make the roster favorable. But it's what happens when you move the release date schedule 3-4 months earlier. Seriously, Namco just as much screwed the developers as much as they did the fans. Doesn't help that after screwing them over, they fired the director and team and now we have a SC director with a hard-on for Alexandria girls.

At least keep Pat, Pyrrha and Lei-Xia. If they bring Natsu and Xiba back, at least make them more original rather than base them off Naruto and Sun Wukong. Pyrrha and Leixia are interesting and have potential while Pat can stay for having an actual decent Sword & Shield moveset for Male CaS characters(or give him that supposed Longsword style that Cassandra was going to get if she was in SCV, especially since we are long overdue for a normal Braodsword/Longsword).

Probably best we keep stuff like "SJW", "PC", and politics in-general out of this thread. All that stuff ever leads to is fights. We should challenge people's arguments, not throw them under a stereotype.

Not sure, but I know Amazon has it listed that my copy was supposed to ship out the 21st so I'd get it on release date and it's the 22nd now and it's still not even listed as "preparing for shipping". :V

Welp, that's pretty serious.

That forcing of it seems really unnecessary. As a youtuber however with a decently-sized channel (10K+ subscribers) that makes money off of it, I think Youtube Red is a great idea that should have been implemented a LONG time ago. Ad revenue has only decreased over the years, with the past year being especially bad, and all speculation states it'll only get worse. So offering viewers a paid "plus subscription" should help a lot in countering the decreasing ad revenue. Ad revenue is also inconsistent as hell (10000 views on a video can net you as little as a dollar, while 10000 views on a similar length video nets over 10 dollars), so more consistent revenue is welcomed.

 

[OurBraveHero]

So Indiecade starts this Friday and... if that if Roger had was something about Shovel Knight being revealed on the 23rd as opposed to Inklings, I could kind of see it since Nintendo will be there. I dunno if I see anything about Splatoon happening that day though.

 

[Inawordyes]

People talking about SoulCalibur? Oh goody!

Which side character do you most ant to see as playable and with way moveset?

For me, that'd be Bangoo, Salia and Dempierre's hench(wo)man with the cards (can't remember if it's the girl or not). Someone made up a really cool theoretical weapon type for Bangoo that involved using a bison-skull shield as a defensive battering ram, with a knife in the shield as his secondary attack method, while Salia was depicted in some art leading up to SCV that suggested that she'd be in, but alas she was not. She's been depicted in concept art with a long sword, so I could see her working in some of Darth Vader's not-force moves like they worked some Starkiller into AlphaPat. The card henchman just because I want to see a ful"-on keep-away, ranged trapset.

I'd also like to see Edguardo at some point. His outfit inspired Algol's SCIV look but from the one interview about him, he sounds like he would've been interesting had he made the cut for SCIII.

 

[Oblivion129]

By the way, did any stores break street date for Tri force Heroes? Or is there any streams of it yet?

A local store here broke street date, but it should cost like 10 bucks more than normal. I'd buy it but I prefer buying digital now to have more games with me on the go and it's cheaper for me.
