Nintendo will be playing Whack-A-Mole with Yuzu forks and Switch emulators forever.

I hope these developers can continue to waste Nintendo’s time and money even more.

This is probably due to music licensing.

That doesn’t have anything to do with gaming, no.

Although I don’t see that as the icon for the community. I use Connect for Lemmy and this community shows that it doesn’t have an icon, so perhaps this is a default icon set by your home instance or preferred frontend?

To be fair, Resident Evil has been action oriented since the original Resident Evil 2. The developers themselves literally said they wanted the series to be more similar to Hollywood action movies.

This whole situation was weird to begin with. Not a single iota of actual evidence was provided from either side. From Dr Disrespect I understand, because the settlement terms absolutely barred him from talking about it.

Regarding his statement, not a surprise. If anything illegal did happen, Twitch would have been required to inform law enforcement and he would have been arrested.

RightHandOfIkaros, 4 miesiące temu

If what he did wasnt illegal, then no.

RightHandOfIkaros, 4 miesiące temu

So what would he do that’s not illegal but bad enough to get banned?

Twitch is a private platform, they could ban him for whatever reason they wanted.

Disney dropped Johnny Depp because of the Amber Heard thing, but what did he do to deserve that? Twitch dropping Dr. Disrespect was probably entirely about optics.

I don’t know anything about him, I don’t watch him or anything. But if he did break the law, he absolutely would have been arrested. AFAIK, sexual assault/misconduct or whatever with a minor doesn’t have a stipulation that the minor can choose to not press charges, thats up to the prosecuting attorney. They almost always press charges, and they should. So if something illegal did infact take place, he would have been arrested.

Sony needs to be punished for this trash. No chance that this wasn’t the result of Sony paying money to prevent this from dropping on Xbox.

It’s anti-consumer and needs to stop.

It’s the most impressive video game to come out of china, the first that seems poised to generate significant buzz internationally.

Uh, Genshin Impact? Massive global buzz around that game, and makes a huge amount in revenue yearly.

RightHandOfIkaros, 4 miesiące temu

That may be true. I don’t play many games from China, not because of any reason its just the games that come from China usually don’t appeal to me. I mean sure, I am concerned about Chinese government spyware, but also I am not anyone that is important so them having my data is completely valueless. I have a lot of fun with Super Mecha Champions, but when I tried out Genshin I just stopped playing after the big controversy of Rosarias bust size getting nerfed and the ice area was added to the game. I just didn’t find the game much fun anymore, but it has made a massive amount of money.

Wukong looks like a fun game though, I look forward to its release.

The problem is if Sony has a monopoly on the premium console market, they can charge any number they want and consumers have no other option. Less competition always means prices go up.

Sony’s practice of paying money not for exclusivity for their platform, just to stop developers from developing for Xbox for a period of time, is anti-consumer and needs to stop.

Kotaku - “Unscored”

Were they too busy with their other garbage to do a proper game review or what? Don’t they have something like Black Myth Wukong to complain about?

EDIT: “By Alyssa Mercante” – So its totally ignorable, got it.

RightHandOfIkaros, 4 miesiące temu

Alyssa Mercante wrote it, so I don’t care to bother reading it.

The only thing she does properly is attack other people and say the absolute dumbest crap imaginable.

RightHandOfIkaros, 4 miesiące temu

Outside of the Lands Between and the Shadow Realm, I have spent nearly four months as the subject of a near-endless harassment campaign. It feels, at times, like logging on for a day of work is akin to walking through a boss door over and over again.

Alyssa is a narcissistic “Professional Twitter Victim.” Its not even past the second paragraph and she is already playing the classic narcissist card of making it all about how she’s a “victim,” despite it being her that is creating the problem by going out of her way to attack, harass, and insult other people.

She is an awful person and I don’t have any empathy for awful people. I don’t need to read anything from her to know I can ignore it and be better off for it.

If I provided sources, would you believe it or would you try to move goal posts/ make excuses? Under normal circumstances I would have provided sources, but in this kind of conversation I have found 99% of people that demand sources do so without intent of actually wanting to see sources and simply to continue bad faith arguments.

If you actually want sources, Google is there. DMs sent to Jeff of SmashJT and his wife, remarks to Mark Kern, its easily findable. I don’t care who you are, you don’t have beef with someone online and then find their wife to harass in DMs. That is too far.

Realistically, at least for Stellaris, Paradox updates the game for free for everyone that breaks everyone’s in-progress games and breaks key features of the game by fundamentally changing how the mechanics work. Then they sell the DLC that is absolutely necessary to fix whatever they broke for people who don’t own the DLC.

Paradox creates the problem and then sells the solution.

Nah, get them all. Just to spite Nintendo.

Like, before I only had a small handful because I thought hey, if I ever need to access them in case my dumping hardware stops working or something, I can. But now that Nintendo is making everything disappear and nobody is fighting them, other companies are following their lead. SEGA and companies in the ESA.

Get the entire library at once and you dont have to worry about media being destroyed forever.

This lawsuit build on a false premise. Steam doesnt have a price parity clause for other stores. What this lawsuit alleges applies to Steam keys that the developer generates through Steam. If the developer lists those keys for sale at a price lower than what the game is listed for on Steam, then the price of the Steam Store purchase price must match it, so that people visiting the store page on Steam get the same discount. It doesn’t matter if you list your game on GOG and discount it there.

Its literally helping players.

This is Nintendo trying to enforce Japanese law on a global scale, again.

Nintendo, I used to love you. Now I hate you. Stop it.

Honestly, pirating Nintendo products should be considered an ethical obligation at this point, just to spite them.

RightHandOfIkaros, 5 miesięcy temu

Pirated copies of old ROMs that Nintendo doesn’t sell anymore cannot be counted as “lost sales,” so that really only applies to their latest releases.

RightHandOfIkaros, 5 miesięcy temu

Nintendo was never reading my comment to begin with. Its merely an expression of disappointment and frustration. I never expected it to ever actually do anything.

Yep, Steam Machines were basically that, but just a PC that ran SteamOS. I think they could come back to moderate success now where they kinda failed before.

RightHandOfIkaros, 5 miesięcy temu

If their pricing and performance is comparable to premium consoles, and your whole Steam Library automatically carries over, I definitely think more people would be interested.

Starfield is popular to hate on, anything Bethesda does with it will “draw player ire.”

This game looks better every time they show it. Initially I was very worried when they talked about the dreaded project killing words “made for a modern audience,” but it appears this is going to be alright.

This looked interesting visually, and they probably blew their entire budget on the soundtrack, but as a marketing video it was pretty bad. It didn’t clearly communicate what kind of game it is, or how I play it. Is it an RPG? A point and click adventure? A free roam story game? I don’t know because this trailer didn’t tell me.

It looks like theyre not only using elements from the N64 original, but elements from Perfect Dark Zero as well, which wasn’t the worst game ever but it wasn’t a masterpiece.

Perfect Dark was always like the woman-led version of James Bond with a high science fiction flavoring. It doesn’t seem to stray too far IMO.

It is amazing how out of touch someone can be with reality.

Also, classic blaming the guy that just left. Maybe he contributed to some of the issues, but I guarantee there was a mountain of other issues unrelated to this guy.

Personally, anything is a step up from the World Handler. But I agree. Serious Handler was good though.

I also don’t like that Wilds did the one biggest complaint everyone had from Rise and gave the main character voice acting beyond just grunts.

I am disappointed in what Konami and Blooper have done, but I am not surprised honestly. Lots of absolutely pointless changes, and they completely trashed Angela’s face. Why remove Maria’s leapord print skirt? There is literally no reason to change it. Completely changed first encounter, completely different hospital map layout, its not even the same game anymore. At least RE2 Remake had like 80-90% mostly the same or very similar content. This made Gans’ movie look more faithful than the remake, that is what I would consider a problem.

Oh well, first Ascension was bad, then Short Message was bad, now SH2 is looking not so great, maybe Silent Hill f will be different.

Actually, Silent Hill f is my last hope.

I dont mean that it looks janky because the animations are expected to be some sort of action game animations, thats not it at all. The animation quality itself is just not good. Like, the original had less stiff or awkward looking animations in some cases. Particularly in the transitions between animation states and some of the hit animations for the metal pipe, for example. The point of survival horror, and its main distinguishing point that makes it different from action horror, is that combat is not meant to feel good or satisfying. A good survival horror game will make the player more often than not choose to not engage in combat. Its better to save health and not waste time. But this remake just throws that out the window I guess.

Flesh Lips battle room is like 3 times bigger than it originally was. The locker room you get the bent needle in is needlessly larger than the original. The room you use the bent needle and hair to get the key in is no longer just a shower room but some random utility room with a shower in the corner for some reason. Marias leapord print skirt is gone, with her midriff covered and the important large butterfly/moth tatoo shrunk and moved up to her chest. All these random changes that were entirely unnecessary.

Have you seen what they did to Angela? They haven’t even shown Eddie. Not a single frame of Eddie literally anywhere. They have mishandled every face in the game, I am afraid of what they did to Eddie.
