Wait...

Really?

That's both ingenious and stupid.

That certainly would be going to some lengths for that Bank money.

I feel like they'd even get it, but there would certainly be a PR backlash.

Other GAF post about Scalebound
'During gamescom 2016 year they showed Scalebound in private showings.

They showed off something called "Dragon Link", something that they, as far as I know, haven't shown to the public ever and now possibly never will. Up until that point they only showed fairly basic combat that looked great but more in the vein of Dragon's Dogma and less like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta. That's why many people used to Kamiya's games were pretty disappointed. And then they showed Dragon Link. It's a button you hold and then the camera switched into First Person Mode...and you controlled the dragon. So then you controlled the Dragon from Drew's perspective, which still looks HUGE because the camera doesn't zoom out but goes into first person and you fight against another huge Monster. And then they started comboing. They fluidly switched from Drew to the Dragon to Drew by holding or not holding the Dragon Link button.

Think the weapon system of DmC but instead of holding a button to switch to a certain weapon you hold a button to switch to a ****ing dragon. So these two characters juggled that huge monkey enemy into the air with all the usual attacks and combos you know from Platinum Games only it was A HUGE GODDAMN DRAGON DOING THE COMBOS. There was a combo counter and a rating and everything. It was their direct answer to the "Where is the Platinum action?" question.

It looked ****ing great and as far as I'm aware they have never released that footage, just as they never showed the HUGE array of customising options and RPG features.

I'm so mad about this cancellation. Goddamnit.'
Why the actual **** wasn't this shown? That sounds amazing, would have had people excited and willing to buy a Bone. ****, Platinum should end up making this without MS saying 'DO THIS DO THAT WE WANT MULTIPLAYER'

Correct me if I'm wrong but what I'm hearing is they flip flopped between a first-person view and a third-person view with two vastly different perspectives on the action. Even if that first-person was so zoomed out as to be effectively another third-person view, I can't help but feel that'd get...disorienting.

Unless I'm reading this incorrectly, I honestly wish I could see it in action, because on paper it sounds like it would just give me a headache. Perhaps the reason that they didn't show this off to the public sooner is because they were still working out the kinks, and it just never fully took?

Politely asking not to mess up the place.

That's the classiest hidden message I've seen in a long time.

I bit late on this, but I have a Litwick if you want to trade and add it to your team. Fire STAB can come in handy. And it'll take good advantage of Flamethrower and Shadow Ball.

That's probably why he has Marowak. Since it's also Fire/Ghost.

I was just thinking, say you don't like burger with mayonnaise. The only shop next to you always puts mayonnaise on their burgers. But you like burgers.

If it's the only place, you can go there and just "scrape the mayonnaise off". It's not pleasant, but it's your only option.

Now, another store opens across the street that makes burgers with no mayonnaise. Suddenly there is competition for your dollar and, and this particular place caters to your particular interests.

Then you ask them to not put mayonnaise on your burger! This analogy makes no sense.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Then you ask them to not put mayonnaise on your burger! This analogy makes no sense.

Assume the proprietor has a gold master burger which they must copy repeatedly, and then package the copies before sale. Hence they can no longer be modified until someone comes along and buys it.

They could try to remove the mayonnaise later, but they can only do so after the burger is in your hands. And there's a chance that could introduce other undesirable condiments. Like horseradish.

And they can't just update your burger, they have to update all the burgers. Consider it orders from higher-up or something; those rarely make sense in the first place so it should slot in nicely as an explanation here.

And your alternatives to this arrangement are a) deal with your original, mayonnaise'd burger, foregoing all future things they might add like sesame-seed buns or side-dishes, or b) buy another burger.

Because that burger cost them billions to develop, and it'd take a team of a dozen cooks and a six-figure budget to make sure that your request wouldn't upset the delicate flavor balance of the head chef's vision.

And this is why you run with it and stop making me hungry.

lmao. I just found out how the KR fanbase reacted to the fanfavourite's death. The main villain's actor tweeted 'Wow, isn't he really cool?' They flipped their **** with angry reactions, the toys beating his character up and a montage of the main villain getting his ass handed to him

This is... Well, horrifying.

This is insane. Like man, what would cause him to do that?

Recent years my fuzzy yellow ***.

When was the last time we weren't picky?

When we were kids.


Think about it

 

[Deleted member]

For some reason at the end of my dream there were these monster leech things that could spawn on your hands, but they couldn't spawn if you had enough stuff on your hands

Apparently there was big money in finding the right combination of items to fit nicely on your hand to stop them from spawning

Rings, the answer is rings. Duh

This sounds like something Araki would come up as an ability for a Stand
Actually, I want fanart now

Pit (physical and mental): 13
Palutena (physical and mental): 22

But they mention the 25 years and stuff as if it was canon

What if....

>Bank update comes out
>SM gets updated to Ver. 1.1

>evillaugh.mp3

I'm banking(sorrynotsorry) on transferring my Pokemon from ORAS to complete the Dex so I'd be pretty pissed
I mean, I know I'm not going to complete it simply like that but it would make things ten times easier

 

[redfeatherraven]

Think about it

That's because everything's novel when you haven't experienced anything. Nevertheless, quite right.

It's funny you mention it, because on my Mega Man wiki walk I found out reviewers took a great big dump on GB games Dr. Wily's Revenge and MMII - they just repackaged levels from the NES games, there was less maneuvering room, DWR had a 13" black rubber difficulty spike, yada yada yada.

But when I had less years than fingers and a secondhand original Game Boy older than me (still works to this day, suck it march of progress!) they were my first Mega Man games and I adored them both.

 

[wedl!!]

It's most likely because those displeased with something are more likely to announce their displeasure than those who enjoy something.

I don't know why, but it seems like it's much easier to discuss why you hate something as opposed to why you appreciate it. Just look at all the "Angry Reviewer Review's Bad Media" Youtube channels there are versus channels that try to discuss why something is so great. If you pay attention to them long enough, it gives off this impression that everything made is bad, when really that's not the case. Online you get this idea that Smash 4 is some super polarizing game and that more people play Melee, when offline, most people are enjoying Smash 4 just fine and it has a larger population than Melee.

it is a lot less strenuous to be a raging, nitpicking neoreactionary who clutches the pearls of "objectivity" than to properly critique things

actual critique takes things like time and effort and the Average Gamer can't sit through that when they can watch a grown man complain about a game being 5 hours long and bring up cursory points as to why IT BAD instead of like... great analysis

Yahoo is changing it's name to Altaba.

Wut.

Here my country is called Yahoo!Kimo.
I wonder what's gonna happen to Kimo.

 

[FalKoopa]

Yahoo's change of name to Altaba reminds of Emmy Altava from Prof. Layton for some reason.

Still, it's a sad end for the former search giant. Back when I was first learning to use computers, Yahoo was still a household name as a search engine comparable to Google. rip

did anything ever come out of the announcement that Yahoo was axing tumblr?

Considering the fact that I have a living Pokedex in my bank, that would actually make my life easier...

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Yahoo name change is odd.

Well, I'm going to class today soon.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I don't see how it would be easier considering you still need to get all the pokemon in alola, as well as transferring the pokemon in your living dex

as opposed to just getting all the pokemon in alola

Won't they register in your pokedex once you transfer them over? If so then all I'd need to worry about are the gen 7 Pokemon really.

[Wolfie557]

Honestly, if anything Yahoo should have went with TabAlt instead of Altaba.

At least it'd be pretty close to the gemstone obalt.

 

[Fluttershy]

I can't stop laughing at how well this battle went xD. Iappa Gluttony is too OP plz don't nerf xD.

I was watching a video somewhere that suggested that the national dex was going to be done by Pokemon Bank. don't know if it's true or not but it's still rather interesting to see the National not being in the games the same way it has been for the last few generations

 

[Pazzo.]

Altaba? Yeah, I remember that demon from Castlevania. It used to be some wild man from Gulliver's Travels, but it transformed as a special attack.

...

 

[Baskerville]

Makes it all the more hilarious in that I did NOT expect that ending to happen.

 

[Chrono.]

Wait...

Really?

That's both ingenious and stupid.

There's honestly no need for a National Dex anymore in the games.

Seeing as how Pokemon Bank will likely be used and ported over for future generations to come, as well as it getting a National Dex update.

You'll only really be missing out on Pokedex descriptions which most of the National-only Pokemon just had copy pasted from previous games anyway.

This is exactly why I started watching channels like "Movies with Mikey" and "KaptainKirstain." I loved Kirstain's video on Spiderman because it gave me a deeper appreciation of the character. Mikey made me realize just how large of an impact Prisoner of Azkaban made. All guys like Angry Joe or I Hate Everything did was make me think everything is horrible (Angry Joe does say positive things and gives positive reviews, but they're all still littered with nitpick that he exaggerates on).

Axing it doesn't necessarily mean it's dying right?

Oh yeah, the Dissidia character revealed was Kuja.

I had a feeling it wouldn't be Noctis yet since I vaguely remember them just getting started on the reveals for the Chaos side.

So far they've shown Kuja, Kefka, Sephiroth and Garland. We got a long way to go.

Ive always saw Villager as a young adult since they dont even have an age

Speaking of the Alolan dex, thanks to Wonder Trade I just need two more Pokémon to complete my Alola dex: Pheromosa and Lunala. I still have Kartana with the preferred nature to make the trade for the former, so it's just mostly the latter that I have to figure out a good trade for.

Walter and I guess Jonathan.

Mostly Walter for being so memeable.

He casted Agi on Minotaur for you too?

some dude in my class was playing meme country and then just started blasting Chief Keef

Here's hoping that Seymour gets in the game.

I was disappointed when he didn't make the cut for the first Dissidia game given he was much more of a villain than Jecht was in FFX and had a bigger presence than the later.

I think Jecht was chosen over him due to his connection with Tidus.

Also helps that Jecht is a bad ass.

 

[Ura]

I guess that makes sense.

Well I guess it's an opportunity to bring him in this game. Auron as well.

And maybe even Wakka? It would be jokes to play as him smacking characters with his Blitzball. SE should consider it.

This is... Well, horrifying.

The title of the article is misleading. The article says he's an Attack on Titan manga editor, but he has actually moved on to editing a different manga.

That aside, it is still horrifying to hear about a murder like that, and I hope the police get to the bottom of this.

Yeah he's a former editor, still Kotaku gonna Kotaku.
