Finally

The revival of Gibby

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Wishes;

• Metroid Prime 4 news already
• BOTW 2 new trailers already
• More Bayonetta 3 news
• Obvious Quest 64 revival
• Possibly some FFVIIr part 2 stuff? I dunno how far into the story part 1 is. So it might need 3 parts?
• Any Digimon news could be nice.
• Any Smash character announced.

Only the first three things I mentioned might have a decent chance, imo. I'm very skeptical of Smash news. Other DLC/news I could see again. We did get Cranky Kong and The Joker as well. I think Cranky was last year?

I remember that one iCarly episode where some police people come at the characters so they spy on a store next to their House who alledgedly had pirated movies, and the twist was that what they had was movies about pirates they made themselves.

It was a weird show, don't know why I saw It a lot.

If it wasn't for your Brian and Quest stuff, i totally wouldn't know who you are
I see you haven't given up the fight for quest

Man, the entire launch of Cyberpunk 2077 has been a big trainwreck, as if the dev cycle wasn't bad enough already.

Me literally about to play it in about 30 minutes:

I'm getting a bit more reluctant to play it.

 

[PeridotGX]

I just realized that Latias and Latios are the only legends that never got their own battle theme (excluding Cosmog/Cosmoem, Type:Null/Silvally, and Kubfu/Urshifu, who can't be found wild)

Oh what happened? or is there an article about it or something.

I heard something about the Game doing something shady involving people with epilepsy during some part of the Game.

And that there are a lot of glitches.

I mean, I run my own Discord, Wikia, Booru(though it's super hard to use since I can't upload models I removed the BG from...).

So yes. It helps that I've worked with others to actually hack the game, so it's got a decently active fanbase now. Hell, it gets a lot of speedruns lately too. Enough that it's gotten some fan merchandise over the years. I wish I had gotten that shirt...

Damn, I'm starting to think I shouldn't have bought Cyberpunk at day 1.

The reviewer **** is shady as hell.

Should have put money towards other stuff. Well I suppose if 2077 becomes too much of a glitchfest or becomes a disappointment I'll always have a certain RPG to jump to which IS a guaranteed good time. One that I can start well.

Ain't that right?

Honestly, the only game I cared about from this week was Puyo Puyo Tetris 2.

Cyberpunk didn't call my attention at all.

 

[Aurane]

I don't even know what cyberpunk 2077 is. I mean, I hear people talk about it, and it has some epilepsy issue, but I have not followed it at all.

It was presented with keanu reeves, and seemed like a pretty badass game. I didn't follow it, but it obviously made an impact when it was showcased

You ain’t ready for Sicko mode to join Smash tomorrow

It's got a real breathtaking guy in it and that's the extent of my knowledge on it.

 

[Deleted member]

Aside from Hyrule Warriors there aren't really any games on my radar this year, or games coming out in 2021 for that matter. You know me, I don't really play video games that much, unless it's something like Roblox or World of Warcraft: stuff where the content never really ends.

And there are a lot of memes on Discord servers I'm in about how Reddit users like to shill the Game a lot or something.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

24 hours to go.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Right, guys.

It's time.

I'll be the Sacrifice to truly see what this Cyberpunk has to offer.

I may be scarred by the truth, I may realise that the game is not as great as it should be.

But I WILL NOT surrender to it!

So @JDCabrera Lamperouge and whom else who I call friend, I'll look behind this mask of truth!

Charge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, I've seen people on Reddit(specifically r/gaming) shill it a ton for whatever reason.

In no particular order:
-CDPR came under fire for their terrible crunch
-unoptimzed and buggy according to people who've played it
-50GB day one patch
-reviews have an embargo on using their own recorded footage until the game releases, only being allowed to use trailer footage, which goes against the whole point of a review, as if CDPR is hiding things
-cutscene with lightning effects (rapidly flashing between red and white), which is a tactic used by actual scientists to trigger epilepsy, so it can't even be chalked up as an accident

The sad thing is that people are even defending this kinda stuff (crunch is normal, there's a day 1 patch that fixes everything, don't review a game without the day 1 patch, don't play games if you're epileptic, it's your own fault). Some even going so far as to send disguised videos to reviewers who pointed it out, that are meant to cause epilepsy, all over a ****ing video game.

That's just from the top of my head. Maybe there's more, maybe not, I haven't been following Cyberpunk that closely, never understood the hype behind it. But all of this just left a really bad taste in my mouth.

50gb patch?? owch.

Would make no sense to want to cause epilepsy though, companies have a lot of people, and i doubt they all hate gamers lol.

Yeah, I'm concerned. I've got the game now (about to boot it up) so I'll see it.

I plan on giving a pretty detailed first thoughts on it to my best friend IRL tomorrow so I'll also pass it to you guys as well. Going in with my head low, the framerate is being a worry.

Also playing on PS4 original so the hand is stacked against me but I've got Persona 5 Royal to jump right to if it becomes a ****show and wait for patches to somewhat make up for it.

 

[Deleted member]

I've been here waiting for something really cool I ordered from the Square Enix online Store last monday to arrive home.

Don't want to say what It is because I want to keep the surprise and plan to work out a well thought-out and detailed post about It when I open It out and test It for a bit.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Holy ****

An 'iCarly' revival series is in development with Miranda Cosgrove, Jerry Trainor and Nathan Kress set to return

Companies are seriously going for the stuff I saw a lot as a child.

What's next? Are they bringing back Sargent Keroro or House Of Mouse?

not always a bad thing at least

 

[Wario Bros.]

Hard to believe we're less than a day away from The Game Awards.

Hard to believe we're less than a week away from The Game Awards.

I think you mean less than 36 hours away.

 

[Aerospherology]

I think you mean less than 36 hours away.

You mean almost 24 hours away?

 

[Deleted member]

Approximately 23 hours, 9 minutes away

Well, I didn't say they wanted to cause epilepsy, but more like gross negligence. Like anyone with even half a braincell would've had to realize why that's a bad idea to include. They just didn't care. Made even worse by the fact that a lot of modern rereleases of older games are being modified to accommodate for photosensitivity (for example making certain animations in Pokemon R/B slower or changing colors to be less harsh) and then you have CDPR going in the completely opposite direction. What were they thinking? Probably nothing at all.

Ok. Well I dont know all the details, but maybe they just didn't think about it.
It'd be an easy fix, some im sure they'll patch it. if not, they're dumb lol.

While I can't seem to find any footage of the scene in question(which is probably a good thing in this case) I imagine it's like a 2 second fix. Just dim the brightness, change the lighting, worst case scenario is you can just cut it from the game in no time at all. The fact they didn't bother to even try and fix it means that they're just idiots.

It's literally the Porygon episode all over again, but worse because at least the highers up in that incident caught onto it immediately and pulled the episode. With game copies now floating around it's going to be nigh impossible to remove it, so long as one person never updates the game.

 

[Teeb147]

Wattching cyberpunk streamed. Saw a few bugs up to now. Not big ones tho

 

[SnakeFighter64]

As always, my hoped for tomorrow are for something Banjo-Kazooie related, something Crash Bandicoot related, something fighting game related (that's not ArcSys related), some sort of platformer, some sort of hack and slash, Bayonetta 3, something from DC Comics, and a Smash Reveal.

I was at a Casino today because my mom dragged me to one, their open again and she missed gambling, i won 200 dollars, now i have to decide on what to spend this on

If had that kinda money right now, I would buy this

Or better yet, just upgrade my current decks. $200 ain't a lot in card games but it's still something.

 

[PeridotGX]

I thought school would be a lot easier once i went online.

turns out it's really hard to pay attention when you can literally just open a new tab and do something else.
