Seriously, why hasn't PUBG PC gone free to play? The mobile app is free to play and just today I saw a bunch of people playing the mobile version, just bluestacking it like it's nothing.

Shadowverse is getting an anime, so there's your ygo next season.
-
Should I make an ama or a neo-new-"post and ill tell you what I think of you" thread? Is anyone interested?
-
So Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is coming out soon, in less than a month, and honestly from what I've seen about it it looks like it will be an average castlevania game that isn't worth the wait, and definitely not on the level of new metroidvania mastapeeces like hollow knight.

So I just beat danganronpa V3(I'm at the final cutscene, actually), and I had famously heard it had a bad ending and thought it was just people not surviving or the survivors being unlikable or there are no survivors or something but yikes. Like, legit it subverted my expectation for how bad it was even harder than any class trial, for real, it's the worst. I will probably post a danganronpa retrospective or something of the sort later.

So I just came back from the anime convention in egypt(2 hours ago, really) and it was the best thing ever. Like legit, it was so much fun and we got so many things and did so many activities and saw so many great cosplayers, the Embassador of japan to Egypt, Masaki Something, showed up cosplaying as mario as the opening ceremony and it only got more stereotypically japany and full of cosplays from there. There were lots of cosplays and random gimmicks for many things there, Joker from Persona 5, the sword from transistor, 9S and 2B from Nier, Himiko and Midoriya from MHA, Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the carribean, the PUBG guy, 3 people cosplaying Cells At Work! stole the show. There was an overwhelming amount of Fortnite, PUBG, Naruto, One Piece, League of Legends, MHA, Tokyo Ghoul(this was almost as popular as Naruto there, unironically). There were tons of things on sale for astronomically low prices, like neither me nor nour(my sister, who I went with) expected all the merch and posters to cost as little as they did and be as varied as they were, and it was awesome. I will post a write up with many photos tomorrow, or the day after(when the cosplay show is uploaded, basically, so you can see how much was on display).

So I played the first chapter of zanki zero and it's about as "written by DR staff" as I'd expected, and it has the same feel and look to it, too. The gameplay is just super lame though, they just slapped that on there and it's definitely only there to facilitate the plot.

So in world flipper, the newest game by cygames which made dragalia lost in collaboration by nintendo, had a datamine which revealed a certain music in world flipper's files: https://files.catbox.moe/6evmez.mp3

So Praey for the Gods, the Shadow of the Colossus inspired game, has basically exactly BOTW's mechanics. There's a glider sail and you can climb anything and the sprint/grip is represented by a circle next to your character and there's weapon degradation and tons of random collectible not-heart-containers because colossi will almost always instagib you if you're caught off guard and you can craft and upgrade your stuff, and so on.

So since it's the end of the year and I probably wont find a sudden goty now I'll just say a bunch of my favorite games, and a bunch of games I thought I'd like but didn't. Gonna be using neogaf rules where it's any game I played for the first time this year is eligible.

Games I liked:
Zanki Zero: Same writers as danganronpa and it shows, but the story is one of the most intriguing sci-fi fantasies I've seen, you always want to see what's going to be revealed next, it's so so good. Battle system is ok I guess though.
Code Vein: Weeb souls, etc, but I still liked it a lot, the characters are all likeable and good, the music is moody and memorable, the combat system is actually pretty involved since you're switching up passives and skills to find the best broken combo all the time.
Yakuza 0: Extremely awesome combat, fantastic story, and there's so much stuff to do after it's done.Catherine Classic: I was really into the story, wanted to see what would happen next always, and the puzzleblock thing was a pretty unique puzzler.
Oxygen not included: Ridiculously hard, and ridiculously high skill cap, like, the game has so much working on all at the same time, you need to manage so much and there's always *SOMETHING* that's looming over that's going to destroy everything you own one link in the production chain at a time. I loved it for that.
Evenicle: Goofy waifu hunter game with excuse gameplay, but it's nice, everyone is cute and likeable, the characters' interactions are incredibly funny, like one of the funniest I've seen, and it's a good wholesome experience... except when it isn't and it's traumatizing and you can look up sseth tzeentach's review to see what I mean.
Granblue Fantasy: "Begorrah, mido, this is a gacha game, what jew shit is this". I still liked it, I dont care, the combat is very final-fantasy-5 ish, I got a ton of characters from the free roulette/giveaways, and the combat is so competitive and involved since every boss fight is basically a race against up to 29 other people to get the MVP chest.

Games I thought I would like but I did not:
Sekiro: Shadows press 2 buttons for 30 hours. I already made a review of it, so I'll copy it here: "the game has no variety in gameplay at all, you don't do anything except parry for the whole game except for the occasional firecracker on animal bosses, and rarely even combat arts or items, and it got really boring. It just took forever to do anything and one slip up in your parries meant you die, by the time I got to things like the guardian ape I didn't even bother deflecting, I would just sprint away, wait for an obvious weakness/opening, and just nightjar slash in, nightjar slash out, repeat for 20 minutes to win at 100% HP and posture and all gourds still up, just had a sense of "ok, I get it, can the game end now?""Borderlands 2: How does this game have infinitely generating guns and they ALL suck? Like, all of them had like 30% accuracy over more than point blank range, by the time I was emptying whole magazines and not even being able to kill a raider because the majority of the fire bullets had just missed him entirely even pointing at center mass(at least, for the enemy under cover) I was getting actually frustrated and just went "yeah, not worth it"
Moonlighter: Extremely shit. Basically, the game's gimmick is that it's a zeldaclone roguelite, but items you find in the underground can be sold for gold or used to craft new weapons, but going back to home base to sell items takes a long time and a lot of price adjustment, and crafting items takes a lot of grinding, and you NEED to grind and craft these to do anything, so it just felt like legend of zelda, but with grinding and delays between each run. Really hate this modern roguelite theme where the "replay value" is literally just grinding for the stat increases/weapons you need to beat the game instead of the variety of the items in the run, seen this in Undermine too, bad design.
Graveyard Keeper: This is like one of the only games where I felt the devs dont know what the concept of fun is. It's a harvestmoon-like, sort of, but everything takes up a massive amount of your energy, you can only do like two or three activities a day before you run out, food is hard to get, everything is grindy and has a ton of steps leading up to it, some activities can ONLY be done on certain days so you have to wait more, it takes forever to get places, it's just a horrible waste of time all around.

So today comes out Wargroove, Dragon Marked for Death, and Sunless Skies, get super hype. Out of all those if you had to buy just one, I'd say wargroove bc advance wars deserves saving, but DMFD is made by the people who made Megaman Zero ,Megaman ZX and Bloodstained Curse of the Moon(the NES spinoff) so they deserve your support too, and Sunless Skies just has the best eldritch-y writing, it's like reading out of neo-lovecraft book in full authenticity, none of that "ooh the enemies have tentacles isn't that terrifying lovecrafty XD".

So, I knew everyone knew I was going to like the designs in Girls frontline and Azur lane because you know, cute anime girls doing cute anime things, but I think this is one of my favorite designs in the two games, along with Sopmod and Negev(frontline): https://i.imgur.com/nFMZ1MN.png

This place is boring, it's basically all polls and and RPs which I dont really care about and seeing one or two statuses every day which half the time are for things I dont care about is lame, it's like 90% thar, yui, and blake that I care about or are interested in, sometimes saiko/cow

I do have the Fakemon blog going on, IDK if you check it out or if you are into Pokemon in the first place.
I used to comment on some of the manga threads but I haven't lately. And I did intent to bring Dorohedoro up because it got an anime this season and that's really huge for me. Dorohedoro is easily my top favorite manga, it was just finished near the end of last year and never expected it would get an anime this soon, if at all. Now I wait for an anime of Franken Fran. -

THQ Nordic recently did an AMA that they announced on twitter... on 8chan. You can guess how it went, it was 80% shitposting, but honestly good on them for trying.
-
I saw that and didn't know what 8chan was, but guessed it was like 4chan, so it didn't look like a great idea, but didn't really mind it, then I saw what the site is like, and I couldn't believe any company would even get close to a site like that. It isn't redeemable in any way, yet they chose to do it there still, despite there being so many other options to choose from.

We should have an NCM bar brawl where NCM members meet up and beat the shit out of each other. This is a perfectly good idea and is very entertaining.

What would society in your house look like if your toys were under toy story rules and did whatever they wanted while you were gone?

What's a bigger deal, RE2make or KH3?

What's a good/funny/clever name for a shop stall I'm setting up in a game? I was thinking of calling mine "Non-GMO Organic Fair Trade vendor trash"
-
What's the appeal of smash bros? Like, I was watching streamers play it and it's like, the least exciting fighting game, ever other game is flashier and more skillful with comboes, so why does it have such a huge community that will swear by it forever? I seriously think it's just that it's a """competititve, high skill, hardcore""" game from nintendo which only makes casual (mostly) games so this is like a new unique experience for its playerbase.

when did BOTW support become an organized cult? Everywhere it gets #1 best game of all time, there's articles about it every week, and now there's this: https://www.gamerevolution.com/news/576549-zelda-clone-genshin-impact-havoc-sony-chinajoy
