Derpy me, Ditto.

Pokemon Pokopia does a fantastic job of telling a story passively. Between the environmental cues and human historical logs you find... Topping it off with where this takes place is all just the best. This game is a real treat all around, even if you don't know anything about Pokemon.

Started up this week. Very walkable neighborhood. Good way to touch grass and breathe fresh air a bit more.

Rare's Kinect Sports immediately comes to mind. That studio got done so dirty by MS.

Dragon Age is also a painful one lost to publisher shenanigans... And Bioware as a whole for that matter. Their mech based Destiny was so unfortunate

PunkrawkBbob was made EverQuest in 2000 when all the names I was trying to make for my ogre were getting rejected. Wooooof.

Pokopia supports physical media in game as it mentions music streaming services all died due to server costs. Ironic given it's only available on a key card cartridge.

It's Pokemon x Animal Crossing man. Not sure why you didn't expect this to absolutely dominate ๐Ÿ˜…

Going to make everyone else very confused and scared at the cafe if I just start flailing around. Also going to feel pretty trash with these crepes and OJ in me

This is way more in line with Ridge Racer or Daytona or Cruisin'. The only difference is the open world setting and fidelity. Go play GT and then this and you'll realize that's the case.

It controls nothing like real cars. You're focusing on surreal setting, which has nothing to do with the mechanics of the game which dictate if it's a sim. No one in their right mind would call this a sim. It's not a cartoon, but it controls and handles like an arcade racer. More so than Cruisn

Following that up with some brunch. Chocolate crepes with berries and cream, side of ham and OJ.

Have you played FH at all? Absolutely not a sim racer at all. The way I have j-brake through 300 fence posts while 360 spinning to keep momentum and stack up damage streak multipliers to get points to buy a spin on the slot machine to win free cars?

Follow up at new doc appt from 3 weeks ago. Turns out they overcharged me $150 (supposed to be free), and lost my blood. So got to do that all again today. And may/may not get my money back?

I have the absolute worst luck with physiciaians.

Digital. I don't see a value in KC because I don't sell back my stuff. Plus I can lend digitals out to my friends on my family plan and get it back after 2 weeks without physically getting it back

Not to say times are bleak for the industry, but holy shit the signs are not great. 2010s are going to be considered the golden age of gaming when the dust settles.

Next decade of video games is going to be wild. Xbox is dead. PCs are pricing out. Steambox likely to bust as a result. PS backing out of PC space. Also rolled back their next console. Sw2 is poised to dominate the next few years as the only new tech on market. Govt is going to defund Unreal 5...

Feels more to me like it was a stopgap for them while PS5 install base was too small to justify their dev budgets. Now that's no longer a need they're pulling back. They mentioned Yotei exceeding expectations and carrying their FY, so that was likely an indicator no need to diversify anymore.

Big same. Clash was one of my favorite games on this. That and Panic Bomber.

Well Resi 8 was 80% PS, so it's safe to say PC and Xbox will be the bottom piece of that pie. Steam peaked under 350k concurrent. So really it's how much was PS and how much was Sw2. Capcom never releases specifics though because to them a sale is a sale.

Most Nin sales don't track digital either.

Enjoyed Hades. Did the 10 runs for the story. Will never play again. Games that run on a loop I will also play all day... Every day... I need a clear cut end point otherwise I just stay on that treadmill. It's why I don't play Splatoon, Fortnite, Balatro, Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, etc.

So does it have enough clones now to consider Hades a genre?

I just finished Burrow's End today where Jayson was the most amazing jumper. I would like folks to fund more Siobhan shenanigans please.

But you were alive at that time. No one buys or plays it anymore that hasn't already. So now it just lives up on a pedestal where everyone acknowledges it was a great RPG, yet they aren't experiencing it. No one under 30 cares about it, they just see it on lists and move on. That sucks IMO.
