I Am Unreasonably Hyped For This Game

Holy fricking shit

What the heck They did it, they made peak THIS WAS ANNOUNCED A FUCKING MONTH AGO AND YET I SOMEHOW DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT IT UNTIL LAST NIGHT I HATE HOW NONEXISTENT THE MARKETING FOR THIS SERIES IS I am like actually frothing at the mouth at this announcement, absolutely feral.

This series has by far one of my favorite soundtracks in any video game and the fact that they didn't make a rhythm game out of it 8 years ago is criminal and the creators deserve to be locked up in solitary confinement for the rest of their lives for not making it sooner. But they also deserve to be let out and also given 1 billion money coins and a free pass to be allowed to commit any crimes ever for finally making it now!

I refuse to look at the actual song list because I know that I'll be disappointed because there's no way they included even close to all like 80 vocal songs throughout the entire series, but like if they don't have A Zip to the Moon I'll cry, really. A Zip to the Moon is the only thing that could truly make me believe in a god.

It'd also be cool if they added the Lola versions of every Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 song but they won't because the god of A Zip to the Moon hates me :(

If there is a SINGLE Luminous Avenger iX song my face will go from :) to :( INSTANTLY, and then it'll go back to :) when I see A Zip to the Moon because it'll be there, surely! They took away her robot voice she sounds like shit bring back bootleg Hatsune Miku!

I'm sure it's gonna have like, all of the Gunvolt 3 songs because it's the newest one, so very excited to hear 90% of that game's soundtrack for the first time, not in the game that they originated from because I still have not played 3 beyond the demo despite it releasing over a year ago. But like the two songs from it that I have heard are really good so I'm sure the rest is too, Ergo Sum and Glass Paradise are both pretty cool.

Whoever made the decision to release Azure Striker Gunvolt 3 on the same day as both Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Digimon Survive is a psychopath and my worst enemy.

For funsies they should also add like 1 Mega Man Zero song just as like a little reference to their past works, y'know some games do that they could do that there wouldn't be any rights issues or anything please I just want Innocence from Mega Man ZX to exist again it's like the A Zip to the Moon of Mega Man Zero it's so good please Mr. Inti Creates I'll stop calling you a psychopath I promise.

I can't wait for this game to just be a shitty Persona 3/5 Dancing tier cash-grab rhythm game with only like 10 of the worst songs from the entire series that costs $50 and kills the series because it didn't sell well enough.

Removing the mechanic from the final boss of 2 where you had to sing into the 3DS microphone (or just blow into the mic) in the Steam version was the worst thing that happened since capitalism. Like yea they couldn't really realistically implemented it without like, requiring you to have a mic hooked up for literally one 30 second portion of the final boss but like, I'm still mad >:C

i had a dream that in the smosh work building or wtv, there was half a plaque on the wall and the other half was long lost, its disappearance of mythical origin... eventually it was found and Anthony and Ian put the pieces together: Ian's had his name and birth year on it (idk his birth year) and Anthony's name was on the lost half, which cited his birth year as 1523 and i woke up laughing

Microsoft just closed down four studios.

I don’t wanna hear shit about how Phil Spencer is quote “better than the average CEO” ever again.

Phil Spencer Needs to Go from Xbox!

In case you didn’t know, Microsoft announced today that a couple game studios that were acquired along with Bethesda were shuttered.  I speak about Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin.  This industry is in trouble, with company after company destroying THOUSANDS of jobs, all to save a quick buck and to help the shareholders stock price.  Xbox themselves did a lot of this a year or so back, when…

Podcast 30: Kingdom of the Planet of Microsoft

  In this episode we talk about why people aren’t going bananas to see this planet of the apes version as much as they did in in the 2001. We’re talking Microsoft Xbox layoffs, and the most anticipated Film and Video Game releases of the summer. Buckle up it’s going to be a fun ride.– Podcast #30: S3 E23

I think Phil Spencer should go jump off a bridge.

[clownkiwi]

anyways NO i don't believe xbox will suddenly die out or switch over to third-party game development over console manufacturing. i dont think they'll go the way of sega like they did years ago

im sure microsoft will still wanna release exclusives on their platforms first because they still want people to buy their pcs. there'll probably be a 6-9 month exclusivity release window before any new game goes multiplat, any previously released game that sold well will just be the first to go multiplat (halo, gears of war, sea of thieves, hifi rush, etc)

THEY TOOK SEBASTIAN AWAY FROM ME

sorry I still can't accept it

XBOX EXCLUSIVES TO PLAYSTATION?

Hold your horses, there's no official confirmation! But a recent announcement from Phil Spencer has eluded to change on the horizon...

This is not the first time we've heard these rumblings, with exclusives like Sea of Thieves and Hi-Fi Rush pushed through the rumour mill and appearing as multi-platform titles on the other side! Sony's dominance with the PS5 is no secret and it seems that this could be the logical step forward for Microsoft!

So at the very least, next week will deliver next steps for Xbox, but as a PlayStation gamer I'm excited at the prospect of potentially blasting off to explore the unknown in the likes of Starfield, and especially, donning the hat and whip as Indiana Jones when The Great Circle launches this year!

All we can do is sit tight, tune in and wait for the truth to come out!

2024 might just open the door...

I need to start publicly documenting progress on like actually semi-productive projects I have ongoing that way I have like, some mild form of external accountability to actual continuously work on them and finish them and not take several month long depression breaks from things and like actually finish them. I have like 20 (mostly dumb af) projects that have been ongoing for like, upwards of several years and at this rate I am going to finish NONE of them, EVER and that would be bad and a waste of time. Making those like 4 overly long posts on the PSP stuff I was working on unironically significantly helped me actually continue doing those things because I was like "well if I stop now and don't make another update later, someone is gonna yell at me!" (even tho only like 3 people ever see these and even than those 3 people only see like maybe a quarter of these and also they yell at me either way, so it doesn't actually matter, but it feels like it matters, and that's what's important). And I'm technically still not fully done with the PSP stuff because I need to turn the like 5 scattered essays I wrote on bits of the process alongside other miscellaneous notes into an actual full comprehensible write up, but like it's mostly done, at the very least the UMDs are dumped and archived and that was like the whole initial goal, so like it worked, being held accountable for my lack of actions by the imaginary people in my computer did help.

It's a very special ep of the pod this week as special guest Trex joins John, Scott and Maverick to talk Lies of P, Separate Ways, Chilla's Art Parasocial, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's The Teal Mask DLC, Metal Gear Master Collection's embarrassing framerates, Unity walking back it's deeply silly runtime fee, Phil Spencer's dirty little secrets, and much MUCH more!

[paintedskystudios]

I knew this math was gonna piss me off but I did it anyway. Fuck you Microsoft, fuck you Phil Spencer, fuck you every goddamn executive parasite that fucks with peoples’ livelihoods in order to tweak a spreadsheet slightly

some dickhead in a suit somewhere is probably really stoked he just saved $285 million for a company that makes $150 billion a year

Xbox is Spitting on the People Who Lost Their Jobs by Opening Elsewhere

You almost have to admire Xbox and the people who run that banana farm of stupidity.  They have absolutely no shame.  None whatsoever.  Hundreds of people, across four studios, two of which created some amazing games, just lost their jobs and what do they do?  Announce a new studio opening!  Under Activision Blizzard, it is a studio that is talking up all the neat things they are going to be…

[courtana]

the rational part of my brain trying to tell the gamer part of my brain that we don't have money right now to custom build a pc and that we can wait or even just get a ps5 when it's on sale later this year.
