@sjw all memes aside, I think the first one is better because it strikes my intrigue. I want to know more about these pumpkin men. The second one is funny and definitely catches the eye but I'd most likely skip over it thinking it was going to be a meme video instead.

The only ones on here I'd say maybe deserve it are Breath of the Wild and Last of Us. Even then though, I'd still put BotW above LoU and there are problems with each of them.For Breath of the Wild, it's that the voice acting can be pretty badly paced at times, and that the frame rate dipping can be really distracting. The shrines and Divine Beasts all having the same exact aesthetic the whole way through is also a stark contrast to the diversity of the overworld. There are definitely problems with the game but it is as close to a perfect game as something like that could achieve. Tetris is probably the only truly perfect game out there, maybe with Mario 3 at its side (at least, for the time they were released).Last of Us is a master class in story telling and the art design is incredible. Gameplay is a little bit meh, but it never really had to be something too crazy. The gameplay mainly exists as a vehicle for the story and that's totally okay considering how amazing the story actually was. Breath of the Wild is more fun to play so that's why I think it's the better game, but the story of Last of Us and the emotion in it really hits you deep, I think in particular if you're a man.I have my own games that are 10/10 in my book but I know aren't that way objectively. Silent Hill 2 is certainly one of them. I know that in reality it's maybe like a 7-8 but some of its shortcomings actually service the game's eerie and dreamlike atmosphere, and that's part of the reason why I'm worried that the remake won't be able to capture that same feeling.

sun and moon were more or less full 3D environments and they were on the 3DS which, by all accounts, is actually fairly similar to the switch (the devs for the switch emulator Yuzu are the same ones for 3DS's Citra and that's part of why it progressed so fast).plus, they already have a bunch of switch releases under their belt and, as fair as i remember, the "pokemon let's go" games are totally fine in terms of performance and graphic quality. their other games are, for the most part, inoffensive too. it seems like game freak's pokemon games are just actively getting worse for some reason.

that, and the fact that ps5/xbox series aren't very easily obtainable still, and the ps4 was one of the highest selling consoles of all time so there is still a huge market there. games releasing on multiple platforms still have to support that ps4 spec if the publishers want to maximize profit. switch obviously factors into this too, given that it has sold pretty well, but it is weaker than a ps4 and some games are just never going to be able to run on it unless they severely compromise the intended vision (which i think may be the case with something like bayonetta 3).with PCs, i'm sure the steam surveys are also looked at, showing what hardware is the most popular so that devs can at least target a minimum spec being a GTX 1060 or 1660, for instance.

to me, knowing nothing about pole dancing in general, it’s all about the presentation. stuff like the outfit, setting, and music can either make pole dancing super sexual or a mesmerizing, beautiful experience.pole dancing well also takes an absurd amount of talent, i’ve got nothing but respect for that.it’s pretty similar to nudity in general in that way. someone being naked doesn’t automatically make it pornography, and you can still have pornography while being totally clothed.i wonder if pole dancing and just “strip clubs” in general used to be a lot more classy. one could garner that from the fact that nobody calls them gentlemen’s clubs anymore i suppose.

@mccree can you see anything on the local timeline? wondering if it's just me or if there are some weird issues going on.

alright strap in.dmc has the best combat of any game i've played PERIOD. everything flows so well, the controls are really intuitive, and there are a lot of ways to upgrade things that feel dynamic. the arsenal of weapons are all useful, for plenty of situations, including traversing the levels. the movement is also super nice, i used to speedrun it and found a lot of tricks before it caught on a bit and everyone blew past me in the leaderboards lol.people don't like dmc because dante is different and a little bit cringeworthy. it came out at a time where it was fun to dunk on cringe stuff so anything even moderately along those lines got the shaft. nevermind that devil may cry has always had a certain level of cringe in it. vergil is, well still pretty much vergil, and there is a new character named kat that i honestly thought was pretty cool. the story is good too, imo. and the boss battles are all so fucking awesome and inventive. there's one where you basically fight bill o'reily's massive digital head as he screams fake news at you xDhellblade is a stark contrast. i just don't find it fun. the game has no style, and it does this weird thing where it mixes in FMVs into the CG of the game that looks really uncanny, like it doesn't belong there. took me out of the experience. the combat is boring, kind of easy to cheese, and with the relatively restricted camera, the only way to tell if an enemy is coming up behind you is a little glint on your character so you'll often get hit by something you can't see. the "puzzles" all amount to just looking at the environment in a certain way, and it's cool at first but after doing it so many times it gets really annoying. they have this gameplay feature where if you die, some rot travels up your arm and if it covers your body, you have to start from the beginning of the game. but that's not actually the case, some deus ex machina comes to prevent it from happening if you do die too much. why even have it in the game at that point?also, the game is mostly about a mental disorder, psychosis, and there are these voices in your head that play throughout the entire game. they kind of act as a guide for senua, but then you'll have another voice or maybe 2/3 voices telling you not to do what the other voice said. this is happening CONSTANTLY. i get that it's probably an accurate depiction of someone with extreme psychosis, but to me it was *really* annoying and overwhelming. there is no way to turn the voices off without turning off the voices in the entire game, so for the last hour or two i played the game with no voice acting whatsoever, just read the subtitles.however, that's a problem because the subtitles are often incorrect and don't exist for the voices in senua's head (iirc). they still get the message across, but they don't line up with what the characters are saying sometimes. for a game about a disorder, it's funny that deaf people technically wouldn't be able to experience the game in the same relative way that they could with other games. there are other problems too, like how it doesn't let you turn off motion blur or adjust the FOV, which led to some people being unable to play it due to motion sickness. they just recently added in colorblind support but i'm sure it's "industry standard" which means it's likely simulating colorblindness instead of correcting it. that can help distinguish colors in some cases, but you're also not seeing the colors how they *should* be seen.dmc doesn't have accessibility features at all to speak of, but it doesn't really have any problems that need to be addressed. the camera is always a good distance away, there is a lot of contrast in the environment, and there aren't voices in your head going off constantly that make you want to kill a bitch xDbut people do really seem to like hellblade..... idk why. i can't really find anything redeeming about the game. maybe the story? but ehh.... it was pretty lackluster imo. it's a much more cinematic game than it is a FUN game. the acting is good, but if the acting was good in The Room it wouldn't be a funny movie anymore, just a boring one. i'm pretty sure the reason why my roommate really liked it was because it's nordic-themed (even though they kind of get some of the mythology wrong).oh yeah and then i can't forget the music. the FUCKING MUSIC in dmc is the best in a devil may cry game for sure. i mean with dmc5 you get the staple character songs that are all really good, but besides that it's all kind of bland. hellblade's music definitely didn't do anything for me. but dmc's is made by combichrist, an industrial metal band, and *every* song is fucking amazing. check it out if you like that stuff: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1HTCksItKUcHw0nsZ69-8NMP5Mv0bfhP

Yeah, Dante is a nephilim, so a child born from an angel and a devil, and he hunts devils/demons as a job, more or less. Hack and slash game, really fun imo. At least, DmC is. Devil May Cry 5 is a pretty good game, but when I have the standard of DmC to pit it up against... it is a little bit clunky in comparison. I haven't played 4 yet, but 1-3 are all definitely a little dated. They actually use the old Resident Evil engine and have the fixed camera angles, so that might be a bit easier for you if the camera gets in the way.Hellblade is to Devil May Cry what God of War 2018 is to classic God of War. Combat is not as fast paced and the story is more drawn out. I enjoyed God of War's combat far more, though, even for the very short amount of time I played it. Hellblade's is boring and at times, frustrating.

yeah, i like bayonetta well enough. the second game isn't as good as the first, and the third i haven't played yet but probably won't, i don't like the way it looks.i'm actually a little excited for ff16, which is the first time i've been excited for a final fantasy game since 13 was announced, because the combat designer for devil may cry 5 is on board. it looks absolutely cracked. i know it isn't your type of thing but i'm pretty stoked xDhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdovZqLl9g0

i'll get around to upgrading/downgrading pleroma eventually, whatever i have to do, to make it so the local timeline doesn't keep erasing itself. very weird bug to just start randomly happening.
