Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[Shroob]

I think Nintendo wanted a piece of the pie of the mobile market and then realized "Ah **** this actually requires WORK????"


Almost all their mobile games aside from Pocket Camp and FEH are just, dead. Not counting Pokemon GO here since that's its own beast.

Pics that go hard

I still miss this game, and I'm also sad that World Flipper is going to follow it very soon.

I think I should stay away from Cygames products from now on...

Still can't believe that Draglia.... Lost.....



Cygames isn't even allowed to use the characters since Nintendo co-owns 'em.

Aren't some of the designs based on those from older Cygames' products? I know a few of the dragons for instance are from Knights of Glory such as Giovanni, Ifrit, and even the Greatwyrms, so wouldn't those cases be fine as long as they don't use DL's interpretation?

Yeah, Cygames likes to re-use a lot of their characters, so Dragalia has some Cygames perma mainstays like Ifrit, Lily, etc. So those characters are fine.



Characters like Mym or Lotte tho?

It's weird to me to think that theoretically we could have another game with Brunhilda the dragon (or at least a version of her), but not her Mym form. Same with Midgardsormr vs. Euden, Zelthia and Notte.

We kinda do

He's basically the secondary main character of Granblue lol.


Honestly, that's the only Cygames IP I'd invest my interest in since that game's going on 9 years old in March and still going strong. It had a sequel to its Arcsys fighting game recently come out and its Action RPG for Playstation/Steam drops in like, a week.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

For a long time there I was really excited for Granblue Fantasy Relink when Platinum was on board with it a long long time ago. I haven’t kept up with it for a while but did it turn into a Genshin-type Gacha game or am I tripping? I haven’t really seen that much on it.

I was never on board.

Updated the list of stuff I plan to buy in 2024./:

"Wait Jotadé, I thought you were going to buy Princess Peach Showtime, Mario VS Donkey Kong, FFVII Rebirth and TTYD, what happened?"

Welp... Two things leaked recently called the LEGO Great Deku Tree from Zelda and the LEGO X-Men Mansion, which are looking to be pricey AF (200 bucks for the Deku Tree and probably more for the X-Mansion)... And I had to do like Thanos and sacrifice some stuff. Add the Xbox Series X to all that so I can play the new Indiana Jones game at 60fps and yeah, ya'll may understand why I am lowering my list.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Side note about my Splatoon 4 cast, I think the big problem for Nintendo wouldn't be getting A-listers like Emily Blunt and Anna Kendrick on board...it'd be getting the lead singer of Avenged Sevenfold to voice the DLC villain!

They're an awesome band, but they're so so so far out of Nintendo's usual wheelhouse lol

They just released a demo of it and it is pretty fun and unless I missed something big, it is not a gacha. It just has a lot of playable characters.

[Michele]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse than just AI, now it seems like some models might have been DIRECTLY ripped off from Pokemon, or at least bits of it. Like one of the Primarina bits just look too similar / samey to the one in Pokemon...

I wonder if this will make people stop acting like fans predominantly hate male avatars and everyone prefers the female avatar instead (probably not).

Even if this is true, Im still gonna belive people really hate the male MCs and like the girls more

I can't seem to find a source for this outside the tweet so it is probably fake but I would be happy with this if it is real.

All I know is that this would still somehow spawn Edelgard discourse

tbf FEH itself is an easy money maker, Mario Kart Tour is still alive (which means more people will still throw all that money out towards them), and Mario Run…is there…so yeah

…tho I didn’t know Animal Crossing was still alive

I just want FAlear to get that top female spot (and for Alfonse to stop overshadowing his innocent sister with the 1 storyline where she was fully important as her own character)

Nintendo probably prefers the American release of Smash….either that or the spirits stuff is their way of celebrating

Aint Als fsult hes more intresting then his sister

 

[TheCJBrine]

I started getting more interested in Palworld, seems it’s not the “Hire This Man” asset flip I assumed (though they definitely still based some stuff directly on Pokémon designs lol, that doesn’t feel like it’s just inspiration. Maybe they didn’t steal models, the topology of at least some models is apparently different, but blue Serperior? Lilligant’s flower? Meganium’s head? Goodra’s body? Literally just recolored Lycanroc with different proportions/neck fur? Definitely took from Pokémon designs, including a fan’s fakemon design).

After reading the description of the developers’ AI art imposter game, however, I think I’ve lost my interest again, beyond watching more gameplay.

I don’t care if AI wasn’t used for Palworld, the description of their AI art game just reminds me of people who act like AI art is the same as or just as good as human-made art and dunk on artists for it. “You are a progressive artist who commands AI to generate images” bruh

Not to judge anyone who likes Palworld and is playing it, I like most of what I’ve seen too tbh, I just personally don’t feel comfortable giving its company money. Don’t really care if others do though, that’s none of my business anyway.

I played Tekken at my friend’s house because they want to practice for 8’s release this Friday, and I sparred for a few hours.

I have never played Tekken before, and learning the controls hurt my brain. The combo system got me messed up.

How the hell do you play this and understand what you’re doing at the same time?

 

[Michele]

This was first posted on Facebook but Chugga made an apology

https://www.facebook.com/chuggaaconroy/posts/939398944201531

Honestly seems like a solid apology. I hope things will finally calm down soon. Even was kind enough to at least tell people to stop pestering Emily, I know there's been quite a bit many disrespectful opinion about her. He even mentions that he understands if people would stop supporting him any longer.
The fact he had / is having therapy may lend credence to the apology.
It is good timing because I saw that there was a fake Chuggaaconroy channel or two that was using AI voice to 'reply' to Emily's response...

Tekken requires you to just keep slamming yourself into the wall until you break through, it's genuinely daunting

BTW what do people think of this? These days I just mainly play gacha games, I rarely buy games unless I know they're worth it to me, but the fact even higher prices are being considered for what could be just 30 hours game (not 80+ or 120+) is kinda concerning.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

his fault for not sharing that character development with her tho. He pulled a Hulk Hogan (minus the racism) and kept all the glory to himself while Sharena sits there waiting for Veronica to help give her attention again

…and then there’s Commander Anna who is simply the best version of all other Annas

Some games are already hitting that through special editions and whatnot.

I sincerely hope there is no game that just outright costs $100 because otherwise it’s off to the bargain bin to try and find super cheap copies.

 

[Occhi Vuoti]

No surprise to me. Corporations can say that we own nothing, as what we invest in their own creations it simply benefits them far more in comparison, but it's how it's executed as overrating their own profession, outcomes with it, and their own lives? It's that 5 year old modern haircut mentality of theirs. That is what gets to me for decades now.

It makes things worse when you realize that several years ago when games costed 50 or 60 dollars, they were at least FULL GAMES, not like 'buy a piece and then have to pay up some more for the other piece'. No microtranscations nonsense. Just full game.

We talked about Star Wars the other say and they just dropped a trailer for Bad Batch season 3

I don't care about this show but now they're retconning one of my favorite stories that was supposed to be a Clone Wars episode. Thanks Disney I love you

Exactly. They cannot refute that in anyway non biasly. They will just justify their hypocrisy, because they aspire to be "Elite Kardashians".

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean yeah Corpos see subscription services as the future, it makes bank. Only a matter if time where game companies jump on the trend, that's what PS Plus, Gamepass, and NSO are. Now it does kinda suck when physical and even digital media is becoming a thing of the past in favor for subscriptions but tbh making everything live service is a disaster in the making.

Also let's not post The Quartering

Nah they're saying it's still canon somehow. Betting it's Nightsister magic ****.

 

[Dukefire]

Honestly, if I can buy and/or save a game I favor by physical or digital, I'll do it if reasonable. One day, things might go crazy if the internet goes down for a few days or becoming available ONLY ONLINE ACCESS. Especially how we are in the modern world of technology.

Oh so they're just bringing back a character whose story was finished for fanservice

Just like that one movie
