I didn't find Bayonetta pleasing to the eyes, but then I didn't make a big deal out of it, claiming they did it on purpose just to spite me.

And while this is just a fictional character, you can bet your ass the face model is going to get shit on for this by the usual crowd. Female models used in games always do.

Notice how the character's face looks better here, yet only the shot with the most uncanny goober vibes gets used by the 'ugly on purpose' crowd. Horizon: Forbidden West anyone?

The other thing is, modern standards of beauty have been heavily influenced by the use of cosmetics, which aren’t typically factored into these particular characters due to the settings. People’s personal desires don’t always have to be the center of the universe, even with entertainment.

Booo. What if I want to emulate the games I legally purchased and dumped tho? Nintendo hate all emulation tho, so they'll probably be all over this. Only upside is Denuvo charges a recurring subscription fee, so a lot of publishers end up removing Denuvo long term to get out of paying that fee.

Shinji being the narrator is so awesome. And those all out attacks look somehow even smoother than in p5.

Nintendo is very much of the "If we're not selling it, you shouldn't want it" mindset. I'm surprised they only started working with Denuvo now.

(I mean, I can already do it on an ipad, but $200 bucks is cheaper then an ipad, particularly including the side controls)
You could just slap one of these kinds of things on your phone and off you go.

Too bad that their device only streams from a PS5 console and not from their online servers. A well, just another useless piece of kit.

Whats a Starfield anyways


(whatever happens with their next game, it will always be amusing that NMS went from the memetically uber-example of AAA buffoonery and shilling, to an indie studio basically creating a near-decade of a live service pseudo-mmo.... but without the actual live service parts and monetization)
