Report TemplarXIII's Profile

Sounds awesome and I'm liking the rating bump from what I'm seeing here. I had no clue it wrapped up already haha, totally missed me. Great to hear it's good though and the differences sound enticing. I'll have to hit it up soonish.

Still addicted to super sentai. Dude went all out! lol

Did S2 of Nier wrap up the whole story?

Ubisoft is about to crumble. Whether or not they get bought out, go private, or not, they can't sustain and some massive changes have to happen. Dude I looked into this, they have more employees (by the thousands...) than Nintendo. Also more than SIE (Sony Interactive, the gaming side mainly). Almost about as much as those two combined. WTF? Hollywood to the max bloat! Long story short though they've been one of the biggest publishers pushing this crap, so them losing a leg here will probably be good for everyone.

BRIDGE seems to be the new DEI thing though. Renamed, or some companies (possibly Square) just have their own internal "ethics" departments now. Guess we've known about that with Square for awhile now. Ugh. Do they want another Forespoken?...

The facts and data are piling up now with this being why so many big publishers are taking massive hits lately and people are spending their money elsewhere. So yeah... it's gotta change eventually I hope.

Just got to Maria. They don't bug me too much, but Maria could have been hotter and her voice isn't quite as good (wasn't expecting that to be rivaled with Mary/Maria and the LETTER, hah). But yeah... at least Ada Wong and the RE girls haven't been effected by this as much, though I'm not a huge fan of Clarie's RE2R look. She was way cuter and cooler in everything prior, especially Revelations 2. But I don't mind SH2 being a little uglier all around as it kind of should be haha.

Silent Hill 2 Remake is chef's kiss. It's seriously just about perfect. And I'm watching a streamer now playing the PS5 version and wow, looks like a PS3/PS4 version compared to what I just played on my PC haha. And not like my rig is insane, I turned off HDR, shadows to low, etc, but yeah. I saw Digital Foundry praising this as a showstopper on PC, so guess that's true. And feels rewarding that I can outclass some PS5 games now. Still iffy on the FF16 port though... haha. Dunno about that one. Maybe needs a few patches from what I see.

Oh damn, no worries! I know some people in Georgia but yeah thankfully they were away from the worst of it too. This FEMA situation has to be another wake up call for people. Same morons who are managing our open borders, go figure?

Yeah funny how I used to knock on the cel shaded look back then, now it holds up so well. Mega Man Legends on the PSX even still oozes with charm. Dragon Quest VIII is probably one of the most impressive ones though. Felt like I could have been playing a modern game when I finally played that a few years ago.

It's out on the 7th for the public. Mary is still a bit more covered up, but I'm not sure about Angela who was looking weird. General impressions are looking really positive though, so I'm getting excited... maybe Bloober team is proving everyone wrong for once haha. But I'll see how user scores go first.

Best patch ever? lol.

Overlord sounds familiar and the skippable one. I think all the ME3 DLC was great though, but yeah I must be thinking of Leviathan for the Reaper history one.

Ught he Prothean I always forget about. That was kind of unnecessary. This is why I hold ME1 in such high regard still, it left a lot to the imagination. But from ME2 and on they felt the urge to explain everything, bring out this weird depiction of a Prothean warrior, etc. Some of this stuff was cooler as a mystery and background lore for the cool world they crafted here.

Red was the destroy ending right? The Kool-aid colors, lmao.

That was a cool idea bringing Legion to Tali's mission. Must have had some extra dialogue here and there. Legion is one of my favorites. The Geth were so good.

Shame that physical is a dying novelty.

Shadow Broker is the best ME2 DLC from what I recall. Isn't Arrival the one that explores a living Reaper or where their race originates? Project Overlord rings a bell, think you infiltrate some base and have to escape it at some point. But I'm not sure I recall it doing much for the grander story. Unless I'm mixing these up haha.

What was your reaction to this?

lol. Some are saying did they jump the shark? But it looks cool to me and not as over the top as the supposedly terrible Dead Souls on PS3. I know you weren't loving the new RPG style and protag, but you going to keep up with the side games like these? The Man Who Erased His Name sounded pretty good for a shorter Kiryu game.

Some people are praising this studio's work ethic getting 2 games done a year, but man I still think they should slow down haha...

Guessing you guys are still pretty deep into Mass Effect? I think that whole trilogy is a nice 100 hours when I replay it all.

Yeah, I think we have confirmation today from stories breaking out now that Concord was 400 million dollars, lmfao. Something about toxic -positivity- behind doors too. Nobody could say anything constructive or bad about anything, they were convinced this was going to be one of Sony's next biggest IP's in the next 10 years or something. lol

I think there's already talk of the PS6 tech and stuff as well. Details that make people question even more how pointless the PS5 Pro could be.

Switch 2 is sounding like a PS4 Pro docked, normal PS4 undocked. Yet compared to those gens, there's DLSS and all this other new tech that could improve things more along the way. Seems like their reluctance to push high tech hardware is already paying off for them haha...

I don't have much interest in challenging them much sadly. Lost causes lol.

This makes me wish some of my PC hardware laying around was classic gray:

PS5 Pro's price is outrageous by the way. I agree with most saying just get a Steam Deck (maybe wait for the V2) or save up a little more for a PC at that point. Crazy stuff, I have no idea who that $700 price tag is for.

Too bad my only local friend group are all snowflakes. Yet they would have eaten this stuff up 10+ years ago when they had balls and some common sense. lol

And here is why even if Netflix has different studios in Asia that might be isolated from some of the agenda over here, some good shows every once and awhile, crap still seeps through the sewers lol. This looks absolutely horrible.

You going to check out Am I Racist?
