I'd be hyped for it but it'd be weird branding choice to call it Smash - that's a whole different game

It still plays like smash and the Nintendo characters have the same movesets they usually do.

People will argue about if it’s a spin-off or smash 6 for years and never get an answer.

They did it to set a completely different expectation from their audience right out the gate so they aren’t expecting another Ultimate.

Okay, so... what is it called? I doubt SEGA would be okay with lending half of the roster to Nintendo without a name in the title. "Super Smash Bros but We Only Have SEGA This Time but Don't Worry, Sonic Brought A Lot of Friends This Time (Sorry, They are not All from Sonic)"?

Oof Borderlands is apparently getting some pretty bad reviews. 3/10 on IGN, 5.2 on IMDB. Debuted with a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes!?

Damn man... I wonder what went wrong...

The trailer looked pretty bad, tbh. It was enough for me not to see the movie at all.

 

[Jondolio]

One of my best friends is a Borderlands fan (I actually played a bit of the second game with him a few weeks ago) and he said the trailer looked like ****. Guess he was right

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean it's Borderlands in 2024, probably the most unfunny movie of all time

Shocking really since it was from Eli Roth. His previous film from last year was Thanksgiving which I enjoyed.

The next batch of Fortnite reveals will be at D23.

As a bonus, watching the event through Fortnite gives you this in game item to wear on your back. The item is not exclusive to the event and can be bought at a later date:

[HyperSomari64]

Just have it be NvS instead cause otherwise people'll be upset about the loss of the Capcom lads, the Square boys, the Konami dudes, the Microsoft homies and Sora.

What about the Namco bros.?

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Thank god for actual good video game adaption movies like Rampage (2018), Sonic 1 & 2, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Mortal Kombat (1995).

Watch the people who gas up the Mario and Sonic movies say that the video game curse is real again. Also congrats to Borderlands for having the most accurate movie portrayal for any video game

If you ask me the curse came back with the FNAF movie but don't tell the fans that.

Are you telling me movies have to stand out on their own instead of just implying more interesting things than what we see? That's it, I'm calling the cops

For real most video game adaptations suck just cause people making them don't really care when there's good **** on the table. Like, there's a Streets of Rage movie in the making and just make it like a tribute to 80s action cop flicks like Kung Fury but with good fighting choreography with extra pizzaz, I can see a scene where Axel and Blaze just walk into a street while Go Straight plays and they beat up like 50 dudes at once

There was little to no marketing, promotion or buzz for the film at all in which I had a feeling it was going to have a poor reception.

Huh.

One of Randy Pitchford's magic tricks must've backfired.

I mean when the games itself don't have much of a plot, it is kinda of a tough task to stretch it out to two hours. At the same time though, you have to fill it with what fans want to see and still have a plot that's game universe accurate, with extra cinematics to fit the big screen. A lot of adaptations fail because they can't do either, like FNAF being an hour and forty and yet the animatronics where there for like 10 minutes and Springtrap/William after only being there for like 3 minutes total.

And of course there's the case of them just not being good movies in general, aka the writing/acting/production work is bad, etc.

Though Borderlands sucking ass may be accu-oh wait you already made that joke.

 

[Shroob]

Borderlands had a plot? It wasn't just a 4 player co-op game where you killed **** and got shiny loot?


I'm only half joking. I dead ass don't remember anything about Borderlands 1's plot and I vaguely remember Handsome Jack for 2 but that's it.

 

[Guynamednelson]

I vaguely remember Handsome Jack for 2 but that's it.

That's the case with everyone.

 

[Jondolio]

I've played Borderlands 2 for like an hour and all I remember is Handsome Jack. I don't have an audio device for my PC so I was barely able to hear the dialogue, all I know is that I want to drop Claptrap into a pool of lava

A part of D23 will be streamed exclusively in Fortnite and you can get a free Backbling by watching it.

So I know it is probably for the already announced Disney and Epic Games collaboration, and also the rumored next Battle Pass being a Marvel theme

but also Josh D'Amaro is going to be there, and it would be really funny if Disney adds Fortnite to the parks.

The fact that the killing **** and getting Shiny Loot was so fun is why people were willing to deal with Borderlands writing in the first place

Day 17: Vivillon

I like how the 666th Pokemon is a cute little mariposa : )

I mean they were never gonna make a satan Pokemon, but still

Hey now, anyone who's grown up with Spongebob knows that butterflies are the devil.

Anyway I think Vivillon has one of the very coolest designs of the early-game bugs, and I say this as a Beautifly nut. Plus it has the glory that is Quiver Dance.

I hate spelling its name though lol

Just wait, this was all part of Disney's plan to put the Dapper Dans into Fortnite.

It works fine on my end. Maybe it's a regional thing?

I assume so if it still works on your end. On my end it's all gone.

She will take out a life insirance policy for the Pheonix and Miles potentially queer summer skin (2026 Pride Month Exclusive)(Gold)

Last time I went into a gacha game and was rolling specifically for one character it was for Fire Emblem Heroes and I was rolling right away for Niles and I got him on my first roll so maybe my luck will transfer the Pokemon Master

To get around China's policies, they'll rename the skin to be "Best Friend's Rainbow Celebration" in China.

History says they were very good friends. Just bros being bros, ya know?

OBJECTION

It's not gay to kiss your homies good night

Actually speaking of, when's the Miles Edgeworth game coming out? Like next month right?

I've been dying to play AAI2 for years.
