Thanks TylerBlackRunIt .

Problem with that.

Some people would enjoy it.

Like me-- oh wait wrong website.

 

[TylerBlackRunIt]

TylerBlackRunIt Bannanahead? That your name?

Thanks dude

Yup. THOSE segments. Playing via the gamepad is always with first person iirc

Right, but how crucial was it to know what was going on onscreen while the segments were taking place? And, moreso, why?

If it was because you couldn't navigate the map properly while dogfighting, which I believe I heard about but may be confusing my information, then that's where I'd draw a line and suggest that either the level design accomodate it or the heads-up display offer some way of ensuring you don't run into things.

It's for making precise shots, which isn't helpful when you need to steer away from crashing.

You must of missed where they told me that they didnt put "caution: hot" on the cups and I said "ah ok" because
Now I put the blame on Mcdonolds for not putting something that should of been on the cup. ont he cup and for making the coffee so hot.

Nah, I didn't miss it. My point still stands since judgment was still passed despite ignorance of the full story.

People are too quick to pass judgment.

We got another Bloodstained development update:

Village looks pretty nice and the music is great.

Merry Christmas! This is IGA.

Last update we shared how we build the environment, so for this update, we would like to introduce you to a new stage based on that method. Previously, we shared the ship and the castle entrance. I would like to introduce you to the village this time.

As we mentioned at the beginning of our Kickstarter campaign, Bloodstained takes place in a castle! So now you're probably thinking, "What's this, a village?"

I thought so, too, but yes: We have a village. In the narrative, we're still headed to the island where the castle emerged. There's a village nearby that we'll have to pass through on our way to the castle entrance.

As you can tell from the video, the village is red, which has nothing to do with Christmas! During the eruption of the Laki volcanic fissure in 1783 and 1784, "the afternoon sky was dark as night and red as blood," according to a contemporary saying from Hampshire, England. So we tried to express that in the afternoon scene you see here.

Building your visuals from a piece of historical data makes the world more realistic. (The internet is so useful!) The village is also under the demons' attack, so of course there will be enemies here. We are also planning to put a shop here to support the player, and you'll find Johannes, who we introduced previously, here too.

In addition to Johannes...Oh, we can't quite tell you yet, but you'll hear more about them in our later updates. Please look forward to it.

Finally, I would like to answer a few more of your questions for next month's update. After that, we've invited Michiru-san to answer questions for a future update.

You're in for a treat. Also spend some time exploring. You'll find all sorts of secrets like areas that unlock classic Doom maps, collectables and upgrades.

I'm also playing on the easy mode cause I'm a scrub.

I like how every difficulty has a skull and the one I'm one is a baby skull wearing an army helmet. :/

Thanks for the link to the interview, like I said about some sites having biases about stuff, I know Game Informer does.

And I'm glad you do admit that, I just find it annoying that people say something is bad when it plays the way it was intended to be played, and that person just can't admit the game isn't for them.



Just one problem, Starfox Zero had motion controls, which is actually a very touchy subject for some people. Remember Skyward Sword? And how people said the game was bad cause it has motion controls.

Seems to me that some people just can't admit they don't like motion controls, and would just rather say a game is bad instead of saying, well this isn't for me.

Really one of the biggest problems I've seen with Game criticism these days, is more people wanting to be the next AVGN instead of just giving proper constructive criticism that developers can use for the next game

Makes me really wish more people would take after SomecalllmeJohny and admit when their biases are influencing their reviews. And yes I admit that people explaining how the controls not being to their like is good criticism, but most so called criticism for Starfox Zero from what I saw was, it sucks cause the control scheme doesn't carter to my personal tastes, so the game is therefore bad, and little else explaining how other stuff in the game can be improved upon.

Really seemed most Starfox Zero reviews just ended up beating the deadhorse of the control scheme criticism...

That's not how it works at all though. Bad controls is bad controls whether or not your prefer the control scheme. I prefer Mouse and Keyboard to controllers for shooters, but I can still tell that Halo 5 and other console shooters control fine. Meanwhile, Star Fox Zero fails for a lot of people because it's control schemes are bad even if you enjoy motion controls. Games don't get a pass because they use niche/unpopular control schemes. If it controls bad, it controls bad, and it will sour the experience.

doesnt help that all I saw was "Woman sued mcDs for spilling coffe on herself" And also the fact it took getting sued to make them do what everyone else does

 

[redfeatherraven]

Right.

Now since they established lock-on targeting two generations back, I do believe that was a poor decision.

Mind, I'm still reserving final judgement until I play the game. If I do. It's not likely, I'll admit; too many others in front of it.

They did put a warning but the jury found that the warning was neither large enough nor sufficient.

EDIT: Most people I know think the woman was an idiot for holding the coffee between her knees.

awha... I have many questions but I feel its best to keep them to myself

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think the main important problem was the fact McDonald's shouldn't have had coffee that hot in the first place

Regardless of the actions the woman with the coffee took

Exactly.

Spilled coffee shouldn't be causing third degree burns.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I learned about the truth about the McD's hot coffee lady from a show (that I'm starting to love) called "Adam Ruins Everything"

What a messed up story.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Exactly.

Spilled coffee shouldn't be causing third degree burns.

Then changes still need to be made.
From what I've read, which is contrary to what I've heard, McDonald's hasn't lowered the serving temperature for their coffee despite losing the case.

EDIT: Even lowering the temperature to within the industry serving standard could still cause third degree burns. However there would be more time to remove the coffee from the skin before third degree burns can occur.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

in the end, everyone in that case was at fault. McDs for having the coffee way too hot and the woman for putting it between her legs.

 

[Aurane]

Anyone got a Petlil? ****ing GTS only wants Porygon-Z.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

why does everyone on GTS want Porygon-Z for everything?
I got one but its nicknames

 

[Opossum]

aka, everyone in that case was at fault. McDs for having the coffee way too hot and the woman for putting it between her legs.

...Are you that determined to blame the victim?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Wait, the Switch presentation is at 11 pm where I live?

Hope I don't have work the day after...

 

[PLATINUM7]

It's painful enough tyring to get Pokemon that evolve via trading with an item. So one that requires two trades with an item is even worse.

Though weirdly enough in Y I got a Porygon-Z really easy but had a horrible time trying to get a Porygon2.

 

[Aurane]

why does everyone on GTS want Porygon-Z for everything?

Its a troll request because it's the most expensive (In-Game) trade.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

...Are you that determined to blame the victim?

No, Im saying no one is innocent in that case. They both made bad decisions. No one should put coffee between their legs and surely no one should make coffee so hot that it burns to that degree. Nowhere am I putting all the blame on the woman

 

[PLATINUM7]

...Are you that determined to blame the victim?

Liebe was found partially responsible for her injuries by the jury. Though of course she wasn't the major party at fault. Really if she wanted a coffee that bad, she could have gone inside and had one instead of trying to have it between her legs in a car with no cup holders.
No way is she responsible for any negligance on McDonald's part.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Hold on, this McD case is from 1994. lol why we talking about this 22 year old case

 

[Aurane]

Hold on, this McD case is from 1994.

This thread in a nutshell, right here.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The only thing the woman is at fault for is getting coffee at McDonalds of all places.

Luckily for me there is literally a starbucks next to my McDonalds.

And because I live in WA, a starbucks every couple blocks.

4 in the shopping area near me

I knew about that years ago.

 

[Ivander]

I'm aware of all of this, but to present I'm afraid my statement stands.

I will admit I haven't played the game myself, so I won't offer my opinion on the game itself, as honestly it hasn't been formed. However, the game can't get a free pass for choosing motion controls because "some people don't like them," admitted or not - if that is the largest complaint with the game, and it is a common and frequent complaint with the game, then it must be examined. User experience is paramount.


You keep using this word, "think."

I'm certain no thinking was involved.

It's true that if something is being complained alot about, it should be the first thing that should be looked into when playing the game. But I would also like to point that Bandwagoning and "People hear what they want to hear" is a real and common thing. Especially if the ones starting the bandwagon are popular. If something is being complained about, it is important to look into it to be sure of things and such, but there is a big reason why "Playing the game" is a much different experience compared to "Listening, watching and hearing about the game" and why, "The only reviewer you can trust is yourself" exists.

Huh.

Learn something new every day.

65% of the members in this thread was born before that trial.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Anyone else waiting for a show they like to come back from either hiatus or for it's next season?

I've got a few, but the one I'm waiting for right now is Steven Universe.

I hadn't been watching the show in time to see any of the Steven Bombs (basically several new episodes of the show premiering within the span of a few consecutive days, often making up an arc) until now; Steven Bomb 5 is coming up later this month, so I'm pretty excited for that (wish I didn't have to wait that long, though...).

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Am I think only one that saw "1994" and thought, "Oh, this case is over 10 years old"

and not "Oh this case is over 20 years old"

Did you actually calculate that or was it just a guess?

Those five episodes were already leaked by CN itself, so you can just look for them online, though I recommend KissCartoon for that

I heard about the leaks, but I honestly just don't feel right watching leaked episodes of any show, so I guess I'm mostly willing to wait for them to air.

I did see the first episode though, which was, for some reason, available On Demand. I can safely say I'm hyped for what's to come after seeing it.

Also, I think KissCartoon been down for several weeks now.

It's surprising KissCartoon has been down. I don't visit there, but I know a partner page, KissAnime, is still running smoothly in general. If KissAnime is running, I would certainly hope that KissCartoon is also ok by now. I mean, since one part of the site is fine, I would imagine the other part is too, but idk.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Does breeding rock head Marowak's not produce Battle Armor Cubone's?

I tried to breed for Marowak's hidden ability and I didn't get a single one

Hmm, doing a quick check, it's seems it's up and running now.

It seemed like it was down for quite a while, though...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

well I was born in 1994 and im 22 now so
