Okay, I'm now able to get into Home.

Edit: they didn't add the Hisuian balls in ScVi and replaced them with strange balls. ****ing...

My review (got it early)
1. Despite being called Street Fighter 6, it is not the 6th game in the series. That's false advertising
2. Despite being called Street Fighter, you don't fight streets. Also false advertising.

It sucks/10

This will depend on how the outcome of his trial goes next month and if Majors is found guilty, Marvel Studios will have no choice but to drop him and look for a recast.

if he gets recasted, I hope they pull an Insomniac and replace his face with some random guy’s face for Kang

Whilst it is too soon to say, it will be interesting to see who Marvel Studios line up to replace Majors if found guilty.

What a turnaround in contrast to the first reviews that Street Fighter V had.

The irony that they clearly wanted to acknowledge complaints about SFV's lack of SP content and an Xbox port with MvCI...and they did so with with a cheaply-made mutant-free roster so it was all for nothing.

These PC ports are totally going to blow up in Sony's face. They're good for short term profits, but they weaken the brand in the long term. Why would you buy a PlayStation for a game, when that game won't stay exclusive? Why get a PS6 and an Xbox Whatever, when you could build some depression cube that plays both games? And because Microsoft owns Windows, they have a lot less to lose from the death of consoles than Sony. Nintendo needs to make their next system strong enough to not be easily emulated, they're the only ones that get it.

Porygon unironically did nothing wrong, it was always Pikachu that caused the seizure lights.

This.

I've literally never understood why the decision behind why Porygon was essentially banished from the anime because of that incident. It had NOTHING to do with it besides appearing in the same episode.

I mean, consoles are more convenient for casuals which is the main base Sony are going for and people who really want the exclusives will buy them on the system when they launch rather than wait a couple of years. R&C is 2 years old now. This is basically a shot in the arm for more game sales.

We can, and should, joke about no real exclusives. But it's working fine for Sony.

There is one big saving grace about PS exclusives going to PC, and the grace is that PC gaming is EXPENSIVE. They're more versatile, sure, but rigs for modern gaming are a huge money sink, compounded that games nowadays go for $70+, and that these games take up like starage going to the hundreds of GBs, it's usually not worth it unless your an absolute tech junkie

Even if I did want it I don't think GameFreak would want to touch it again. It's probably seen as a mistake by most of them (which it is)

Also I kinda think this particular design doesn't help with any of the problems people have with Jynx
Click to expand...
Arguably the biggest problems with Jynx’s design are its color scheme originally( granted you could argue the purple is bad too because it was just a quick change) and the lips.

Which I think that picture sort of fixes the later, but you could do more.

For the former, the fact GF actually fixed the design super fast, makes me think they never intended it to be racist and realized they looked pretty bad in hindsight. Which is why they should get a true shot to improve the design.

I think leaning more into Viking or opera definitely works.

I found these two designs as well that I think could work:

333E50A1-7485-4BB5-A68F-D60A1B3353D2.png


The snow queen works pretty well, but I’d make it a more icy blue because that fits the concept better imo.

The second is suppose to be a regional design and I think it’s a pretty good design upgrade. It has a more siren look with the Viking inspiration taking full control of its design. Which I would love to see something like that one day.

Hearing this may allow me to buy and enter Ratchet and Clank's latest game without buying a PS5.

I did want to play Ratchet and Clank's series, but being a playstation exclusive kept me away.

Frankly it doesn't seem like the PS5 is doing as horribly as we thought it would with things like the chip shortage and lack of exclusives. It sold 30 million within a similar timespan as the PS4. Of course, I haven't contributed to those 30 million sales...but I might need to when my bedroom is too cramped for any VR gaming besides driving.

As someone who has a ps5 this honestly doesn't bother me for 3 reasons.


1: The game will probably still be 80 euros what the actual ****

2: I missed out on the ps4 so lack of 5 exclusives isn't a big deal, especially with my friend's custom PC from a few years ago being strong enough to handle modern games.

3: I am a socialist, put God of War on Switch, Fire Emblem on Xbox and Blinx on ps5

I really want a Hisuian Voltorb.

I saw someone on Twitter had shiny rayquazza in their scarlet and violet, so I guess so.

Yeah but, it didn't

Fix the Hisuian Pokemon.


Stantler and H.Qwilfish still can't evolve upon using their signature move 20 times. It's literally a single line of broken code that wasn't fixed for either.

I wouldn't be surprised if we have to wait until The Teal Mask for that.

Heck, there's a possibility it'll never. Don't forget that Meltan is incapable of evolving in Let's Go! or SwSh, despite it being programed to learn Thunder Punch upon evolving.
