@ShogunRok The first 7 episode of the anime are just the movie spit into series format. After this it's the forest arc that has already started airing. From what I've read, Akira Toriyama wasn't directly involved in the forest arc, but he gave some notes, designed some new characters and gave his approval for the final script.
@MomsSpaghetti I am deeply offended about that recipe that is making me hungry after dinner. Also thanks for the recipe.
This should be a new rule on PushSquare: you have the obligation to share a nice recipe before complaining about stupid stuff. We'd all end up fat... Maybe that's not a good idea.
Anyway, I'm more familiar with Japanese and French food, so here you go: https://www.justonecookbook.com/okonomiyaki/ Simple, healthy and really good. Fried onions, sesame seeds, spring oignons are also perfect for toppings.
Just make sure you sleep alone because your bedsheets will levitate all night depending on the cabbage.
@MomsSpaghetti @jolteon23 all that because of a few polygons? Sure, why not. The only thing I'd find wrong about this is that too many Korean girls get willingly butchered on an operating table to look like dolls, but this has nothing to do with the game getting a sequel... So my comment would be irrelevant.
I wish people got upset about cooking and angrily share their favourite recipes instead. At least we would get something out of it.
Not to defend layoffs in anyway, but it makes more sense to have layoffs after an acquisition, than after record revenue with the CEO getting 200 million dollars as a bonus for mistreating his employees.
@Tecinthebrain I don't think anyone has patented the easily breakable controller stick. But I'd love to see console manufacturer lose a case over a patent like this. Can you imagine? A patent infringement that forces them to make sturdier controllers.
@GeeEssEff I'm sure customer service would offer a human replacement in case the motherboard gets fried. It would definitely be cheaper than fixing a brain.
I can't wait for them to develop an AI to replace their CEO and investors. Maybe that AI will be more humane and re-hire humans to make proper games "by humans, for humans".
@Lolocopters Would you be happier with "spiral of death"? I mean life leads to death, but death doesn't necessarily lead to life depending on which religious fiction you choose to believe.
The good thing about not having ps plus is that you don't lose access to things. Also anything about the videogame industry is more a cycle of death, than a cycle of life.
Some people got overexcited when the PSVR2 sold out. But it only meant they didn't have enough stock, possibly because they didn't believe in it. That was actually the PSVitaR2
I wonder if they learned from this experience. Making a full BS first trailer, releasing a broken game that doesn't even run on old gen, promising refunds on playstation without even involving Sony.
I didn't understand a thing while I played through the game. When I watched/read explanations about the lore online, I felt like they were talking about an entirely different game.
I'm not too crazy about having 99% of the lore hidden in item descriptions (same as not having a basic quest log or a simple pause button). As much as I enjoyed most of the game, it's a shame you have to rely on the internet if you don't want to waste hours trying to make sense of it yourself.
I'd rather replay a modest almost-indie game like TotK or a ridiculously low budget game (because it's missing the all important 4th A) like God of war or Horizon.
I don't get the hate towards a guy who created great games. Could it be because people are addicted to micro transactions and his games aren't full of it?
Not sure how many think like me, but I refuse to pay 80€ for an unfinished game. The only game I bought on PS5 in 2023 was Octopath Traveler 2 at around 40€. Higher prices mean people are more hesitant to buy.
"We have made the extremely hard decision to announce our plan". So the hard part was the announcement, not the decision to fire 900 people. Seems about right for these big companies.
@Flaming_Kaiser I guess I'm not the only one who experienced this. I thought I had lost both my legs the first day I played BotW. It was the only time in my life I forgot I wasn't in front of the TV. A horrifying experience.
I remember playing Xenoblade Chronicles X while pooping. But I'm not paying the price of a Wii U for a simple controller with a screen. I can pause my game and play something else on my Switch instead... Or simply spend a little less time in the loo.
Whenever I see the acronym DLC, I read "wait for a full release". And they talked about the game being so final (pun intended), it would never get a patch.
Death to the DLC/GaaS/Macro-transaction/AI/NFT era!
Yoko Taro should work with Valve to get Nier 3 out as soon as possible. I there ever is a Nier 3, I hope it'll be closer to Automata than Replicant/Gestalt
@Ooccoo_Jr The Philips CD-i and Virtual boy were abandoned as quickly as the PSVR2. I suppose the V in PSVR stands for Vita as a lovely reference to how quickly it was abandoned by Sony. But some people will still tell you ho great it was to justify their waste of money
More specifically, they should stop entertaining and surprising people with extremely bad decisions. Also antagonising players isn't the same as delighting.
At least they aren't blocking roads and transportation like all those idiots (SNCF, RATP, farmers, Air France, etc.) who don't even know who the strike is against and end up pissing off everyone
Those 70-80€/$ games made me stop buying games day one entirely. Instead of paying 50+€ I end up waiting for the price to drop around 40€. At least developers have time to finish most game by the time it drops low enough.
That's what happens when decisions are made by humanoid things barely pretending to be human, who only care about making more money, and couldn't give a f*** about games or actual human beings.
This is what everyone has been dreaming of without knowing it: seeing casual gacha players break their overly expensive phones after dying a million times, spending 500€/$/£ on the shop and not getting anything
I expected something like "Now that we are part of microsoft, we asked Bethesda for some help and we discovered they are even worse than we are. Who would have guessed?"
Regardless, I'm sure we can celebrate Kotick's carrier the way French people did with royalty and nobility in the past. There must be a few working guillotines lying around
The best way is to let people change the difficulty halfway through the game, but only when they want. I hate those popups saying pretty much "You suck! Need me to babyproof the game for you?"
Awesome, it's been at least 15 seconds since we've heard a rumour like this. And yet I was hoping the PS5 "lite" would put these rumours to rest. Should we all agree not to speculate on this until at least September next year then?
Why is an accessory compared to console sales? This makes no sense whatsoever. Are the psvr2 and all controllers in this list of so called "systems"? Also selling out could mean Sony didn't believe in it and didn't produce much.
It's a lot better than a boring open world just to follow a trend. I'd rather have a tight semi-linear game than an dull open world like Hogwart's Legacy or AC Valhalla.
