  @axel said: They added pretty much everything people were asking for Gonna have to push back on that. People have been wanting a new full theme since launch, new playable characters or at least special powerups like the Link one to rival all the Costume Mario in 1, less restrictions between the modes, and stuff like that stone from the campaign to use in levels we make. Honestly, it is really disappointing that this is the last major update for this game when it is only the third update. It feels like they gave up on the game when it didn't become the phenomenon 1 was. As great as some of the stuff in this update is, trust me I'm hype for Froggy Suit and some of those 3D World objects I never expected to see again, I don't know if it'll breathe enough life into the game longterm when everyone outside the hardcore Super Mario Maker community has pretty much already moved on. The only thing I can see taking off big is the World Maker. I hope if the game does become a big deal again due to it, the devs recognize that and pull a Splatoon 2 where even though they said they were done with major updates, they alter course and come back for more. Really just feels like resources being shifted at Nintendo to other projects that are getting more attention, like Animal Crossing, and I'm not the biggest fan of that trend. ARMS kind of got abandoned too due to disinterest, but seems like they finally are bringing plans back around for that to finally implement all the cut planned content from 1. Least this game got supported more than Super Mario Party I suppose. Anyways, if Super Mario Maker 3 ever happens, I hope it isn't managed in the way that this game was. End of the day, Super Mario Maker 2 still feels like a sidegrade from 1 rather than a full sequel. There shouldn't be things I prefer about the previous entry in this type of game, so if they do make a 3, I hope they take a long look at all the successes of the original and failures of 2 as well as the way each was supported affected the life around the game. These games have the power to be massive and magical, and 2 simply didn't live up to what it should've been with moving such a dream concept from basically dead hardware to extremely popular hardware.

  Observation immediately comes to mind. Played it last year on my old PC with maxed graphics settings and at times it was even lower than 10 FPS. But such bad framerate was perfect for RPing as a broken space station.

  Just finished my last playthrough for the time being. Minimalist Standard. This game is meant to be played on Nightmare. It's so much better than the base difficulties. And there are a lot of cool setpiece moments with their own dialogue that are omitted in the lower difficulties, I imagine because it might have been a little too difficult. While I find RE2 remake better overall. RE3 is infinitely more replayable. Those bossfights are just so fun. It's so easy to get through the game in a couple of hours. If you want a jaunt through a Resident Evil story then it's the better choice easy.

  Watching Damiani play Crisis Core recently got me really hyped for FF7R, I'm certainly not the biggest FF or JPRG fan out there but I really dig FF7's world, at least from the bits I learned from playing Crisis Core back in the day. The most exciting thing for me is a bit unusual: I really want to hear the soundtrack in it's full glory, all the music from the trailers has been so fucking amazing. Disaster Report 4: Summer Memories comes out April 7. It's a janky looking, PS2-era feeling game about surviving a large-scale disaster. I used to obsess over a game called Raw Danger (PS2), and apparently this is like a spiritual successor of it, which I'm totally down for. Youtube Video Sakura Wars has been standing out on the Asia PSN store for a while now, but now that it's getting a western release, it might be the time for me to check it out. I know nothing about the series. There's cool-looking mech action combat gameplay, visual novel (!!!) social parts, and that's all I know. Youtube Video Cloudpunk comes out to Steam on April 23. The trailers look cool, I really dig the look of the game, and the premise sounds cool (it's about delivering packages, with some twist that I don't know yet). Youtube Video

  Photo Mode has been released! This is pretty hype, I'm still early in the game so I have lots of time to play around with it. The official twitter page of KP has been sharing a lot of cool stuff, like this.

  @mbun After seeing by how much for how long Kirby was dominating, I was shocked Glados won that match because I was CONVINCED Kirby was going to win out. But that's the beauty of doing these things: I'm always surprised and people vote how they wish.

  I'm all setup up and ready to binge Royal until I beat it just like I did with the original, let's see how fast I can put those 100+ hours into it.

  So, yeah. Like I wrote here months ago; I finally have a system like this: FX 8350 RX 590 8 GB RAM But I still can't get a consistent 60 FPS in AC: Odyysey or GR: Breakpoint for example(in High or even Medium presets). Why is it happening? I thought RX 590 would be enough for a consistent 60 FPS at least in ''medium'' preset for open-world games. Do you guys think, putting 8 GB RAM more would make a considerable difference for open world games' performance?(16 GB RAM in the end)

  This year's Ace Combat's 25th anniversary! I think there's a live stream on Famitsu to celebrate the occasion earlier. There's a small update to AC7 announced, right here: Youtube Video

  So I saw the end of the game because who knows when I'll get a chance to play it, but I just want to say this. I don't normally care for Half Life, I think it's a slightly above average shooter with really good world building and atmosphere. That said the post credits scene got me fucking excited for Half Life 3 possibly being a thing in the next decade. Also I expect memes of G-Mans facial expressions by the end of the week.

  Pretty sure the game is dead, at least to most people here. If you are looking for an MMO that is popular with Allies, FFXIV is the way to go.

  @bam541 Sucks that will only come to Xbox much later. I wish this kind of exclusivity deals stopped.

  @dipset said in STALKER 2 announced - Coming 2021: Can somebody guide me to the essential STALKER mods to make the game bearable in 2020? I bought it for like $2 on sale a while ago and I'm genuinely interested in trying this game considering it was pivotal in the survival genre that's popular today, but I don't wanna deal with headaches and unbearable jank either.

  @dipset I might honestly try that, because even though I'm down for a challenging game, I know it will be more of a barrier, that said it will have to wait as right now I'm just ticking down the days for P5R and there won't be time for anything else until that is done.

  As someone who suffers from an incredibly short attention-span when it comes to games, I get how you feel. The way I've solved this over the years for me is that I play like five games at a time. It helps to stop myself from feeling fatigued about any one game. Instead of going hard on a game for a bit and then burning out, play one game one day, and then another the next, and just repeat the cycle. They don't even have to be new games, just load up on some old ones you never beat. Not saying this will work for you, but I dont know, give it a shot.

  I guess I would suggest The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion GOTY Edition. It's my personal favorite of the series(yes, even over skyrim...I didn't really care for skyrim for some reason). Oblivion is a good mix between a more classic style first-person RPG (closer to Morrowind), but has some newer niceties you can enjoy. Really liked it's main story and the plethera of side quest & guild stories. Maybe respond to this post so we can help give you better suggestions? Just a quick thought. Hope you find something good!
