This is what it’s like listening to my mom tell a story 💀

Narrative driven, story rich games don’t sell?

How many video game franchises are making the leap to tv/movies these days? Hint, it’s the ones with narrative driven, story rich games.

Go ahead and make pay to win mobile games, I don’t play them and they rake in millions so it makes perfect business sense.

But the idea that gamers don’t pay for good narrative driven, story rich games is laughable.

I think the biggest problem with a lot of game franchises have is they only sell the game. So much money is being left on the table with the best efforts being a screengrab lazily printed on a cheap shirt that sells maybe one or two.

If I could get some official, quality, Umbrella/Shinra/Arasaka/Faro corporation mugs, phone covers, meme tier shirts etc I’d be all over it.

That’s totally right!

Iirc the games had very similar mechanics and look to them, forgot the thread was about Capcom 😅

Never played Dino crisis but I LOVE me some parasite eve.

Nothing against Dino crisis, just never got to play it, and definitely would take the opportunity.

Super pumped for onimusha reboot, would love to see modernization of Parasite Eve, Dino Crisis, And do something interesting with megaman - like Devil may cry meets megaman.

Same here! Loved the main 3, absolutely hyped to see It make a comeback looking the way it does so far

I still have the app on my phone

Just in case

I’m pending diagnosis for ADHD but if I had to take a stab at it I’d say both groups have tasks they simply can/cannot do without some kind of help or personal system of ways to accomplish any number of things

Something unifying about having obtuse yet ironclad processes for doing things that should be simple and others find baffling

The memes are pretty good here too!

Service with a Scowl

The spine seems to be working pretty well for every other vertebrate though 🗿

This is very true, especially around mid game.

There are significantly more quests than you need to advance levels and eventually you get level 30+ having done all the side quests and there will be several unfinished missions for recommend level 7-20 that become worthless unless the story/character behind it interests you.

Definitely grind early missions as they are basically tutorials and also give you lore on all the factions, don’t worry too much about gold as you will rarely be able to buy weapons better than what you find.

By mid game you’ll have tons of access to loot for selling and will probably be more interested in spending money on refining/upgrading items than buying mediocre armor and weapons.

The bombs and oils are great if you keep them upgraded

Never sell ingredients you don’t have a billion of, you can buy a potion to redistribute your levels and switching from magic/physical build to late game Alchemist is really strong and fun and changes up play style.

Wasn’t a big part of Katrina’s destruction from the hurricane effectively stalling over the southern US which caused prolonged and massive local damage?

Not trying to discount either event, mostly worried about the time we get a stalled Helene sized hurricane

“boycotts don’t work” lmao

The gaming community is incapable of executing an effective boycott because they cannot go 5 minutes without the thing they like. So they’ll pre-order garbage, never learn their lesson, and complain the whole time while paying a premium, instead of exercising restraint and playing something else - like one of their 4,000 unplayed games in their bought library.

Fair enough, I assumed you gamed on both and stopped for PS5 because they made PSN mandatory and I somehow was unaware.

Can’t justify a gaming PC when PS4 pro was pretty cheap and my gaming hours are not what they used to be

I can justify a not so new console every 5 or so years as they hit my value for money sweet spot, and reduced gaming hours due to life

But the upfront cost for a decent rig to replace consoles entirely is not what I want to use my money for (for now!)

Can’t wait to finally make the jump though!

I’ve had my PS4 pro for years and never had paid PSN, is it required for PS5?

Or just for online play, which I do not care for

I’ve always done protein powder first, then add liquid and doing it the other way around sounds like blasphemy.

Never get any clumps either!

Dry powder on top of a liquid is pure insanity, next you’ll tell me you add milk to a bowl of cereal before the cereal

But from there, there is actually much debate about which order of combining is best. Some say that adding dry into wet leads to clumps of dry ingredients floating in the batter, while others say that actually the opposite, adding wet to dry, leads to, well, clumps.

It would appear that the jury is still out, and everyone despises clumps. But one thing is definitely true: It’s much harder to successfully add dry ingredients into wet ingredients neatly. That order tends to lead to a giant puff of flour wafting toward the ceiling, and settling all over the counters, while a steady, viscous stream of wet ingredients will instead narrowly ribbon its way down into the bowl containing dry ingredients, and nowhere else.

Completely depends on the shrooms. Like 100%.

I recommend 1 gram increments every hour if you’ve never tried the bag before. Once you know how strong they are, you’ll know how much you need for the trip you want.

I’ve taken 3.5 grams and been fully in control with minimal visual and the biggest experience was mild time dilation.

I’ve taken 2 grams and been unable to use my phone because the screen looks bottomless for several hours, and I’m barely keeping whole thoughts processing.

Blindly advising someone you don’t know to munch 7 grams of random shrooms is a terrible idea. You are correct that anxiety meds can blunt shrooms, but even then 7g is a massive dose.

Although this story isn’t related, I’ve been trying to get the name JD Vance changed online to “Joy Division Vance” given his views on women.

The future Joy Division Vance sees for American Women

In World War II, Nazi Germany established brothels in the concentration camps (Lagerbordell or Freudenabteilungen “Joy Divisions”) to increase productivity among inmates, although these institutions were used mostly by Kapos, “prisoner functionaries” and the criminal element, because regular inmates, penniless and emaciated, were usually too debilitated and wary of exposure to Schutzstaffel (SS) schemes. In the end, the camp brothels did not produce any noticeable increase in the prisoners’ productivity levels, but instead, created a market for coupons among the camp VIPs.[1]

The women forced into these brothels came mainly from the women-only Ravensbrück concentration camp,[2] except for Auschwitz, which used its own prisoners.[3] In combination with the German military brothels in World War II, it is estimated that at least 34,140 female inmates were forced into sexual slavery during the Third Reich.[3]

I am pumped to play the Deadspace remake as it’s basically just a massive update and 100% original

But I absolutely love the changes they made to RE4. Kept all the charm and loads of tasteful improvements.

If you’re not doing a 100% updated remake, definitely use the RE4 model of remaking a game

I’m not sure if it’s stomach problems causing anxiety, or anxiety causing stomach problems 🤔

Considering I’m sending this from the toilet, probably both.

That’s rough buddy, hope you crack it soon!

Love AC6, but never chased S rank. From what I remember, using certain items (parts/weapons) or the resupply Sherpa lock you to A rank or lower

Other than that, I believe it’s time, damage taken, but may also be kill % and damage output (hidden enemies preventing S? Is that a thing?)

Hopefully someone can give you a better answer!
