I can't take Evangelion seriously anymore ever since I found out about the shaving beard machine and aids PSA commercials.

I mean, that commercial wasn't actually EVA, it was just the voice actors.

The name "EVA Aids PSA" is kinda a lie since it has nothing to do with EVA aside from Shinji and Asuka's voice actors being hired for it.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Which blows so much! It’s not a genre that deserved to die the way it did! And even now when it looked like we might have been on the verge of a renaissance it’s starting to look like that might not happen after all. Makes me sad. We shouldn’t have to scrounge around in the indie leftovers bin to get the types of games we like to play.

I don't think it died completely. Super Mario Galaxy very much said **** you and wahoo to anyone thinking platformers were gone. They did certainly reduce in numbers with shooters becoming the most prevalent genre, especially on consoles not named the Wii.

 

[Z25]

And so, I present to you.

A tier list on Ace Attorney characters!

I didn't include GAA or I2 characters as I haven't played them yet.

Spoiler

Pretty top tier choices for those first 3 rows

Sarge is one of my favorite witnesses.Blackquil is great in the games he’s in as one. Interesting backstory that paints him sort of like early edgeworth, but it takes such a turn that I think it does a solid job at making him stand out.

Also I see investigations one characters, but not the sequels.

Have you gotten a chance to play it? Or did you leave it out because it’s not officially translated?

Either way, the sequel has some great characters.

True.

But it’s kinda like if Seth Mcfarlane used the Brian voice for an ad about cancer. It may be unrelated, but all your gonna think about is Brian Griffin.

 

[Jondolio]

Ace Attorney Investigations 2 might be the best game in the series

 

[Shroob]

True.

I hate this.


God I hate this


Because I can ****ing hear it in my head.

Uzamaki should never be binge read in one go. Trust me on this

I went on r/pokemon to see the opinions and I found this hilarious ****

I love how straight-forward and shameless this title is. This dude has nothing to hide.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I just had a dream where the final smash fighter was the bull from Mumbo’s Mountain.

What is my brain becoming?

3D platformers are still there, but there was definitely burnout from the 1000 collectathons fron the PS1/N64 era and thus, it fell off at the turn of the Gamecube era.

And ironically, it was kinda Rare's fault for the burnout as well. DK 64 and Banjo Tooie went way overboard where they're legit the reasons why 3D platformers are memed just collecting useless stuff.

 

[KingBooGengar57]

To EA a studio is to kill them in kind of a ritualistic way. First, you find a game company that makes good, critically successful games, and then buy them, drain them of their assets and milk their franchises, making crappy loot box filled games. Then, kill them by shutting them down and forcing said studio to make the same sports game every year.
That’s why there are too many sports games. Why are we oversaturating them on the market?

[Deleted member]

You guys ever heard of PePe?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

But, what if I don't like EVA?

then you will get in the damn robot and like it

Easiest way to make me not want to watch something
I'm glad you enjoyed it but I don't like Eva at all

aye that’s all good

Ive seen a pickle ad with Bay Raph coming out of the shower and seducing the human males…then he started to take off the towel (only to unveil a large pickle…jar full of large pickles)

True.

I mean…that’d just be normal Family Guy

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I didn't include GAA

Well when you do, make sure Herlock and Ryunosuke and Iris and Susato and Baron van Zieks is riiiiiiight at the top

50% bias 50% genuine
There is legit so many good characters in the great Ace Attorney one and two

OH NO I remember that commercial

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Swamp Sensei I love so much how you added Layton and Luke as Ace Attorney characters
I also love the spot you put them in

 

[TMNTSSB4]

OH NO I remember that commercial

and after that it was still easy to watch the things I like and/or liked (but 99.999999% moreso within the like line)

 

[Z25]

As I said in the post, I haven't played I2 or GAA yet.

My bad, I missed that part.

Investigations two is really good. It fixes problems in the first game and the story is way better. It’s one of the best in the franchise imo. Also it has more cameos, one of which I won’t spoil, but you’ll probably really enjoy.

The fact that Metroid Dread is outselling Pokémon games is a huge surprise.

Hopefully they keep It going until launch day.

The last thing I for one want is for the game to sell poorly (in Nintendo's eyes that is).

I'm betting both Pokemon games will rise after Wednesday when we know more about them.

SMTV being top 5 is surprising though

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Do you think game freak will stop the "two different games" strategy and just make a Pokemon game just one game with everything in it one day? To be honest that's the only thing stopping me from being a super excited about the remakes and more excited for the open world game

I mean, if they did, the entire fanbase would complain about the lack of this specific thing that's been around for 20+ years despite how good it would be, then change their minds 4 years later and beg Game Freak to bring it back.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I don't think it died completely. Super Mario Galaxy very much said **** you and wahoo to anyone thinking platformers were gone. They did certainly reduce in numbers with shooters becoming the most prevalent genre, especially on consoles not named the Wii.

It’s just really sad we have to cling to Mario so hard to get any platformers with any consistency. It’s just such a bummer.

At this point, I pretty sure it's just for traditions sake because the version differences are becoming more and more minimal as the gens go.

Gen 8 had different Gym Leaders, and that was about it because you could get like 90% of the Mons without even trading from a different version.

I wonder how they would name the games in a singular version.

Pokemon Knights probably.


On a somewhat related note, I know Pokemon fans are nostalgia blinf but anyine who says that the old Shiny Hunting mechanics were better is ****ing lying that **** was so ****ing ass.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

inb4 some of the SMTV preorders are due to people somehow mistaking it for a Persona 5 game


…tho Imma still try to get it (not Metroid cause I’m a *****…tho WWE 2K22 and Nickelodeon are out in the fall, and it’s gonna make things more challenging)

 

[Deleted member]

The first sight of a shiny Pokémon I ever had was while playing a new save file of SoulSilver as a kid and while doing so finding a Shiny Rattata.

I got scared because I thought the game glitched or something.
I also found on that same save file a Shiny Bellsprout on Bellsprout tower.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

You don’t think they’ed try to go for longer titles?

Also how would that translate to older Pokémon generations? Pokémon Purple?

 

[Deleted member]

Pokémon Purple?

The Gengar behind the slaughter

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Imagine a Pokémon game where there’s an “adult mode” that allows you to pick any first stage evolution pokémon as your starter.

I feel like a good amount of people will be drawn to SMT V for being "closest we'll get to P5 on Switch".

Helps that it's high-key one of the best-looking games on the system and was a meme for the last few years.

 

[Pokelego999]

When you said "adult mode", I got worried we were going into fangame territory where the definition of violence is edgy writing where everyone dies every five seconds, everyone gets depression, and no one can stop swearing.

 

[osby]

It's called "adult mode"
Gardevoir and Lucario aren't available

False advertisement, smh.

Call me dumb but why not just make one single game with everything in it? Yes yes I know "Money", but really
