Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

[---]

Getting some exercise definitely helped me feel a bit better. As did looking up more mutuals on BlueSky.

Am playing Sonic Generations before I get into Shadow Generations and I forgot both how stiff Sonic can be at times and just how many collectables there are. I remember being really good at the game almost a decade ago, so it bums me out a little bit to keep missing most of the alternate routes in each stage.

I think, truely, the game worst critic is its own fanbase.

Its like that GF that says they love you but whines and complains about every little thing you do that "gives her the ick"

Not familiar with the series but tbf, but hardcore fans will always find more faults with a game because they look more closely and have more time to compare it to their childhood faves.

In other news, Death Stranding is now on Xbox as Kojima now owns the IP.

guess what my current addiction is

 

[Aurane]

I just realized something.

Orthworm is a real Pokemon.

Not like alive and breathing in our world.

But it's an official Pokemon.

I don't know why this is bugging me but it is.

I'm watching a playthrough and yeah, it's pretty amazing.

While the main party being so well-done was expected, I was surprised just how much effort went into the worldbuilding.

Well it shouldn't given that it's a steel type

I haven't heard much but this pretty much what I meant with the Dream Team stuff lmao, loved that game the first time I played it. Second time less so. Still, I heard it's got the tech issues with decently long loading times for fights being a pain for some players

 

[Z25]

Raven looks pretty fun to play:

Why did that tale me so long to process? God i am a slow ass man.

That being said; I'm serious. Have you ever looked at a Pokemon and think, "man that's actually a Pokemon"? I know I'm two steps from the funny farm at all times but you gotta understand this yeah?

Edit: maybe I just need sleep.

Munkidori still looks weird to me

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Multiversus is still going on???

Wake me up when I hear something about Godzilla or potentially even Rampage.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Munkidori still looks weird to me

That's because you need a very high IQ to understand Munkidori. In this essay, I will...

Some clarification on that Sega delisting announced yesterday.

It’s every single Genesis/Dreamcast title.

The ports, Nights HD, Sonic the Fighters… you name it, it’s gone!

The only things spared are the Switch exclusive stuff (Sega Ages and the NSO app), Sonic Origins, and the Sonic Adventure games.

Good thing I already own a lot of that.

I wonder what’s going on?

No more Seaman

 

[SneakyLink]

Maybe Sega is prepping yet another Genesis collection and is doing a mass delisting beforehand?

It’s what they did before Sonic Origins released.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Munkidori and Orthworm are some of the best things to come out of Gen 9, y'all are haters

Probably not just Genesis if they’re also delisting nights and fighters

 

[SneakyLink]

Hoping it’s an Atari 50 style collection then. With interviews, documents, photos, and more.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Oh dear god Disney is doing episodes 9-12 of Star Wars.

Disney just STOP!!!!

It's bad enough they already ****** Luke Skywalker over. What's more they can screw up?

 

[HyperSomari64]

What if is a NSO/Project EGG style of service where you can play old Sega games?

 

[Noipoi]

This is terrible news because we’re in for several more years of obnoxious Star Wars discourse

 

[SneakyLink]

Somehow, Palpatine will return again because why not?!

Oh, but you can only view his return speech if you play Fortnite!

…wait what do you mean this already happened?

The worst part is that they're getting friggin Simon Kinberg, the guy who screwed up the Phoenix Saga twice over in the X-Men film series, for it.

Hopefully this gets cancelled like so many of those other announced SW movies that went nowhere (i.e David Benioff and D. B. Weiss of Game of Thrones fame were supposed to produce one at one point, for example).

The fact Palpatine turned out still alive in Rise of Skywalker made Darth Vader's sacrifice meaningless...

Usually I feel ambivalent towards these kinds of posts of yours.

Not this time. I have no faith that these movies are gonna be any good after the past few Star Wars projects I've seen, which made it very evident that Disney has learned nothing from their failures with the sequel trilogy. I used to love this franchise but every new announcement related to it just makes me sick to my stomach and I wish they'd just let it die.

 

[cashregister9]

Andor Season 2 is still coming out at least. Acolyte was also pretty cool (albeit, now cancelled)

outside of that, Save me Rian Johnson Trilogy (assuming that still exists) and also that Mandalorian movie and skeleton crew could be good

 

[Schnee117]

Crazy they're going for a new trilogy when they didn't even make an Episode 9..

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Disney is a cultural ouroboros

 

[TMNTSSB4]

can’t dread what never stopped

 

[Noipoi]

Look on the bright side

Rise of Skywalker was so bad, there’s nowhere to go but up

 

[Dinoman96]

That's what we said after the prequels when Disney bought the IP.

 

[TheMightyP]

Rise of Skywalker TWO

 

[SneakyLink]

Rise of Skywalker TWO

Now with 100% less Skywalkers!

 

[TheMightyP]

Legit though, I don't know what else they can even do with Star Wars.

The Vader storyline is done, Ben Solo's villianry is done, Palpatine is (hopefully) done, and most of the shows are either midquels or prequel expansions.

Like are they gonna reboot the whole franchise with little to no ties to the preceding movies? That... would be interesting.

You'd be surprised
