So....for Breath of the Wild....

Did anyone else ever witness a Moblin picking up a Bokoblin and throwing it at you? It's funny how I'm probably around 50-75 hours into the game.....and yet this is the first time I ever ever witnessed a Moblin do this.

It's mildly disappointing seeing people not understand that the point behind the Testfire is partially to force the servers under as much pressure as possible so they can figure out if and what they need to fix by the time the game comes out.

Of course, I have horrid internet and didn't have a problem with it during my first batch at all, so I didn't even have to suffer through what a lot of people apparently did, LOL. But still, this is to an extent Nintendo looking for data on their servers to fix anything wrong before they start charging for them, be it the online service or the cost of a first party multiplayer game. Can't expect everything to go right when they haven't even tried it on a large scale yet!

Being a Splatoon 2 demo at the same time is a great marketing tactic for the game, a great way to get the userbase to cooperate, AND a great treat for the players all at once. I can see them doing another one if the Switch userbase multiplies before Splatoon 2 releases to test under stronger tension, but I don't see that as a guaranteed thing.

*begins playing*

On a different note, I think this game might be faster paced than the original.

. . .Oh my GOSH I love the textures in this game.

.. .Oh, and HD Rumble is in, it's just really unobtrusive I.E. no feeling the tank filling up. You can feel some actions lightly, but being next to a teammate using a super is when the HD starts getting really noticeable. You can feel the air coming out of a Stingray or the ink gushing from a jetpack to hold it aloft, or the brief thrust of someone firing a batch of missiles. It's funky in a good way. The general Splatoon 2 rumble also has a more. . . .bubbly? feel than Zelda's vanilla rumble BZZZZZ. The game's so pretty and hectic you don't even notice the rumble unless you focus on it, though, I completely missed it the first hour because the game is so fun LOL.

*EDIT* You can feel it splash when you use a jumping attack with the roller.

I honestly didnt notice any of the HD Rumble. maybe because I wasnt holding the joycons but they were in the holder

Can safely confirm, that I love Breath of the Sexy Link as a game so far. Sure the breakable weapons are annoying, but the exploration and beautiful visuals makes up for it. And yes, I am doing a naked run for the game right now (no clothes, just going commando like a pro).

And am I the only one confused that Moblins look like giant anorexic tapirs this time?

your actually gonna find the naked run pretty hard to do in some places where you need cold/heat/flame resistant clothing. I droped that idea after I got one shotted because I had no defence

You might find this video interesting.

Weirdly, I haven't seen the Mandela Effect myself. KitKat, Flintstones, Monopoly Man and other examples in the video are all as I remember them.

The creepy thing is that some Mandela Effects have undone themselves

There was a big deal a while back about Apollo 13, the line in the movie was supposed to be "Houston, we have a problem"

But it was actually "Houston, we've had a problem"

...But, what the scene right now. It says "Houston, we have a problem" again. Yet, it was a major focus of the Mandela effect a short time ago.

Was mixing up different armor sets and you know what this looks pretty alright.

[FalKoopa]

Is Nintendo legit trying to attract pedophiles to their game with this sorta stuff?

Spoiler

Am I the only one who finds this somewhat disturbing?

I mean, children won't find this appealing, squid kids are literally kids. And that's the boy Squid on top of that. I also don't quite see the humor in that either. There's only one group of people who I can see this sorta thing appealing to, and that's the same crowd drawing all the Squid kid porn, of which I'm certain Nintendo is well aware of. I mean, why have this outside of pandering to that crowd?

Am I alone in this sentiment? Or am I making mountains out of molehills.

And I'm sure some of you will find this ironic considering I was against the censorship of XCX and Fatal Frame, but in those games, you had girls with adult bodies being sexualized. These are literal (well virtual) kids... implied to be around 10, that's a different story, and lines are certainly being crossed here. Even if legal in Jaan, why pander to that crowd at all?

It... doesn't look really sexualised to me, honestly. Maybe I'm naïve.

looooooool

Is that the character he was supposed to voice?

No, it wasn't. Playtonic clarified in the replies.

Regardless, this was unprofessional of them. It's so petty.

It was my birthday yesterday BTW, I turned 31



But more importantly

The diamond conspiracy. This is why I'll NEVER buy diamonds. They are worthless. Their worth is being over inflated by a vast conspiracy. The only reason people buy diamond engagement rings is because of their manipulation by forcing it into the media.

What?

It can't just be that diamonds are pretty to some people?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It's not a conspiracy theory, it's something that actually happened.

Diamonds aren't rare. The price is HIGHLY inflated. There are MASSIVE amount of diamonds

The problem was the working class wasn't buying diamonds in any significant quantity, so the diamond cartel paid the media vast amounts of money to tell the working class that diamonds are the only proper way to do engagement rings. Creating the phrase "Diamonds are Forever"

and over time it was just absorbed into society as a fact.

 

[FalKoopa]

I don't think it's a conspiracy. It's just marketing.

Diamonds are rare afaik. But it's true that working class people didn't think they were worth it. Thanks to the clever marketing "Diamonds are forever", they created this illusion that diamonds are the only appropriate gift for a wedding or something like that, thus creating the craze.

They aren't rare in comparison to how much the market values them at, though.

Their distribution is heavily manipulated by a large diamond cartel, which gives the illusion of large rarity

I read up a bit. The truth seems... mixed.

Diamonds being quite common and the existence of a diamond cartel (The De Beers Company) are indeed true. De Beers used to have a monopoly on diamond production which let them control prices at will and they created artificial shortages to inflate the price.

But it's also true that gemstone quality diamonds are rare. Only 20% of the diamonds excavated can be made into gemstones. The structure of a diamond doesn't lend itself well to growth, so diamond prices increase exponentially with size, until metals like gold and metal.

But I'll agree that they aren't worth the price.

Keep up the good work.

I had mine in the Joy-Con grip as well.

It's just softer than Rumble usually is, I didn't even notice it my first hour playing because the game holds your attention way more than the rumble does.

If you actively pay attention to it the HD Rumble is there, though.

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Wow.

Either this is really unprofessional and ridiculous gloating over their decision to remove JonTron, that honestly really turns me off buying the game (not removing JonTron itself, but this kind of attitude).

Or their PR guy is incredibly out of touch.

I wish I caught it from the beginning though. It's kinda far in the series

I have a game for the lelz; guess the exact duration of Goldberg vs Lesnar at WM33.

I say 7:24, with Brock blading, a long pause with either Lesnar or Goldberg lying on the ring for a while selling a hit; allowing the latter to pick some air.
And sweat, lots of sweat after the first minute.

4:56


Oldberg takes 3 duplexes and one F5 and loses and Lesnar has gotten the championship just to lose it to heel Roman at SummerFest

I know it's not the character he was supposed to voice, but it still comes across as a jab at him, or ignorance towards what's going on.

 

[Coricus]

I've hit all three Testfire timeslots so far, start to finish.

*freshness intensifies*

I need this game in my life.

W O O M Y

At this point I'm pretty much down to deciding where and when I'm preordering it, there isn't any "if" for me getting this game right now like the rest of the many Switch games I'm curious about. It's the good stuff as it is, and it can only get better as our friends at Squid Research Lab announce the rest of their research.

Honestly, with all the bad things that have been happening in DC lately plus being entire states away from my games and my lovely fiancée, not to mention waiting for another direct, I REALLY can't wait for Baseball season to start.

 

[Robertman2]

Did anyone here watch the new Power Rangers movie?

I did. It was pretty dumb, but it was dumb fun.

I GOT A NEW MODEM

Did anyone here watch the new Power Rangers movie?

It was ****ing amazing. I'm also on the Tokunation forums which talk about KR, Sentai, PR and more, and almost everyone hated the movie prerelease. Everyone on that forum said that they're surprised how good it was and while the suits only appear in the final act, they feel earned

 

[Coricus]

I think this is perhaps something to keep us all grounded. Not really as reassurance so much as. . .perspective.

Not so long ago we had a world that was willing to rip itself apart on a global scale. Multiple times. We had people that did things even many of the most callous people would be horrified and disgusted by.

I mean the world's a disappointment, always has been and probably isn't changing anytime soon. But I feel like people have the idea that we live in the worst time in the history of mankind when we. . .don't.

But then, I try to ignore politics because I'm not equipped to have an opinion and getting one requires slogging through a mess of horseshoe theory proving ragemongers hurling random things off the ground at each other. We had a situation where people on both sides of the fence said the end of the world would happen if they lost and threatened to move out of a country if they didn't get the results they wanted. Society seems to feed off of fear more than anything and if it drives itself into the ground then it will be as much because society refused to stop being cowards as anything else.

I love how this testfire is always mostly giving me the short haired girl

 

[Aetheri]

I'm at that phase now, where I start binge listening the music for BotW...

It's frikkin amazing!!

Such as this...

Sometimes when playing the game you don't really notice the music as much because you're too absorbed in the situation, (especially for this theme cuz it lasted like not even 30 seconds for me when I got to the part) and sometimes because you've put in over 150+ hours it's been a really long time since you've heard the music so you forget...

The Justice League trailer looks surprisingly decent. Hopefully the movie is enjoyable too

tfw you have less confidence in this than you did in a movie you were certain was going to be trash

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

While everyone wanted villains, Mega Man's biggest rival and brother Proto Man won. It helps that he's as popular as Mega Man himself and people expected him to be an Assist Trophy over Elec Man.

Now we are seeing which of the four remaining Mega Man, that appears in the Blue Bomber's Final Smash, is more wanted in Smash. Your choices are Mega Man X (@Knight Dude), Negaman.EXE ( Champ Gold ), Megaman Starforce, and Megaman Volnutt (@Ura). This one's going to be interesting since everyone has their own personal favorite of the Blue Bombers.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Four hours as always.

Poor Volnutt and the others though.

Only good moment was the "I'm rich" part.
Otherwise I'm seeing a bunch of origin stories (not something you should do in a team up film), the usual overly dark, style over substance Snyder/DCEU bull**** and bad acting from Momoa and Gadot. Cyborg looks dodgy as **** though they have time to sort the CG out. Also Martian Manhunter and/or Green Lantern >>>>>>>>> Cyborg.

Will also laugh if Krispy Kreme Rangers is better reviewed than it.

The only DCEU movie that reviewed better than Power Rangers is man of steel but the audience score for PR was higher lel

Krispy Kreme is pretty ****ing important in the movie
They also have an offer with Power Rangers doughnuts as promotion for the movie. Personally, I think no movie's been this brilliant with product placement

Remember how Avengers had years of set up? That's why it worked, now we have, what, 3 movies in the DC shared-verse?(Wonder Woman doesn't count because it's not even out yet)
This is literally, "Marvel did it and people liked it so we must be able to do the same, right?" without understanding what actually made it work.
Can we get another DC movie that's as good as the Dark Knight trilogy or is that asking too much?
