Ode to the Zweihander, even though I've never really used it much in any FROM game -



Might make a cold zwei build someday though. Already have a decent start on a character for something like that.

Shuhei even though he was initially put off by both Demon's Souls and GoW2018.

And he's the one who got that egg on his face and was proven wrong both times. So he exactly wasn't ideal either. I'll give Shawn credit for at least trying and wanting to experiment. Whoever they left in charge now, I want him gone. I can't even bother to remember the bastard's name.

I think it's the former Guerilla Games guy, but he took cues from that idiot Jim Ryan. Now it appears he'll be reporting to someone new.

We'll see how that goes, but I'm not getting my hopes up given how Sony's been lately. Eventually they have to course correct unless they can somehow keep relying on gullible/careless consumerism regardless of what they do.

Them shutting down their 17+ live service games is a start, but they have to do much more to get even halfway close to my good graces again.

Yeah, I really hate the mohawk on orb head look of the American media.

Lol, I remember that godawful Sonic origin story of friendly Dr. Ivo Kintobor and brown Sonic in his treadmill experiment from Sega of America's internal document for potential licenses being used in my big brother's "Sonic the Comic."

The Japanese Mega Drive covers were so stylish.

Funny little video.

Huh I always though of the zweihander as a lamer claymore, maybe they changed over the franchise.

But tend to agree as the Claymore has been my mainstay for most of these games. But there seems to be some lasting appeal to this colossal, I think because it has a good moveset for that category. Interestingly enough though, in ER at least the Claymore has better stance damage values.

There's this trash gacha (whoops, tautology) that has some designs that are just a little familiar

Between this video and their twitter, I've spotted Denji, Levi, Goku, Naturo, Luffy, Zoro, Eva Unit 1, Alucard, Kirito, Jotaro Kujo, Ichigo, Deku, Gojo, Ryuuk.

I smell a bunch of lawsuits.

Cripes. At least SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy had the decency to only gender-flip and sexify characters SNK owned.

Thought I was gonna post fem!Terry, didn'tcha?

The full list of first-party million sellers per console is pretty interesting. The Nintendo handhelds, and Nintendo in general, dominating the top 10 makes sense, they've always relied on first party. But didn't expect Wii to be so high, and PS2 to be so relatively low. Also, that precipitous drop from PS4 to 5.

That actually makes sense. I don't know why you didn't expect it. The PS2 did have first party games, but not close to the extent of what was on GC. Keep in mind, this was still when Sony didn't have a consistent mascot and they were just throwing whatever worked. They literally did not get official permanent face until Astro Bot.

The current-gen XBoxes don't seem to be on here at all. Did they actually not have any? I mean, I'd heard the joke of "Microsoft released more first-party studios than first-party games", but....
