Okay, I think its time to talk about this thing.
The amiibo have been slowly getting more quality production as the different waves of them came along, Just compare the details on the Olimar amiibo to the Marth one and you can see what im talking about. However, recently Ninty decide to go apeshit with the things they unlock, rectricting ENTIRE MODES behind said figurines.
Amiibos should NOT block entire pieces of content behind them. Amiibos should be a figurines that you buy once and you can use in different games for small rewards.
MK8, Mario Maker and ACNL are the only ones that used them right, although this last one only count for the cards.
In MK8 and Mario Maker they are only cosmetical and don't change the gameplay at all. The amiibo cards in ACNL work because they are cheap and they work as cheat codes so you decide who you want to move in your town. But selling a game on an Amiibo (Chibi Robo and Amiibo Festival) or locking chunks of content and mode behind them (MP10, TLoZ TP HD, Samus Returns) is NOT OKAY AND YOU SHOULD STOP DEFENDING IT
Lol, faggot. Stop whining about baby toys

Super Mario Maker used the 8-Bit Mario amiibos to unlock the exclusive Mega Mushrooms. There was no other way to use them in a course you were making.
>>385636447
Its not whining when you can't even play Hard Mode without buying one of this things
So, why is this company praised a lot here?
>Release shitty tablet with no third party games and ports
>Start charging for online
>Lots of DLC and Season passes
>Difficulty modes locked behind paywall and Amiibos
So, why are these the good guys again?
They aren't. It's either association with their childhood or being a hipster who wants to play stuff that nobody else will, regardless of quality.
It's really just typical fanboyism by people who don't have lives.
Nobody atm is a "good guy" except for a handful of auters.
>>385636059
>Release shitty tablet with no third party games and ports
It's simply not shitty and it does have third party stuff, more incoming aswell.
>Start charging for online
20 bucks a year which lets you play a library of old games for free
>But muh emulator
That's like saying "steam is for scrubs I just pirate all my shit"
>Lots of DLC and Season passes
I think lots is a bit of an overstatement, but yes it's there, and I don't agree with it.
Yes Nintendo does bad stuff too, but considering the high quality of their first party games and their hardware we still like them, for it outweighs the bad they do. That doesn't mean that we won't still complain (if you've been on this board even once in the last month you know we're all pissed off at the Metroid amiibo bullshit), but we're not that autistic that we immediately hate the entire company over it.
>this game is shit
>why?
>because /v/ said so

I'll take things that never happened for 400, Alex.

Horizon Zero Dawn
Monster Hunter World needs to sell five million units to break even. Considerably more to make a profit.
Capcom is really expecting this game to be a huge hit. Their projections are out of control.
>>385635908
BREAKING NEWS: Capcom is retarded, this and more at eleven
What's the highest selling game in the series?
What games in general have sold more than 5 million?
I'm genuinely curious. 5 million seems like a huge number for any game no matter how popular it is.
>>385636101
>What's the highest selling game in the series?
Portable 3rd. Sold 4,9m if I remember correctly.
A gentle weekly reminder that,
The Tank is the HERO of the group. He's the one who decided to kill the dream wyrm of the north. People clamor around him and beg to be taken with him to the battle.
The Healer is the heroes RIGHT HAND. He makes the killing of the dread wyrm of the north possible by keeping the hero refreshed and strong. He also is in charge of keeping the brainless throng of dps alive to avoid unneeded paperwork.
The dps is a gaggle of followers. Near worthless individuals who merely accelerate the demise of the dread wyrm of the north. They are the nameless/faceless individuals who make up the bulk of the fighting force.
If you aren't the HERO or his RIGHT HAND you are playing mmo's wrong. It's that simple.
I play bard. What now, bitch?
>>385636134
You sing songs while the big boys kill the boss.
>tfw being tank and healer used to be a prestigeous position
>guild would pay them wages out of the guild income for the sacrifices they made
>people would suck your guildless dick to have you in theirs

I liked Sticker Star for some reason
And before anyone says I'm not a real Paper Mario fan, I played the N64 game before Sticker Star

How do I git gud with parasoul? Skullgirls thread I guess
>>385635186
Spam the floating orb mines. Use her pokes and overhead mixup. Cancel her long animations and level3 with Egret call. Use the Egret grab to force a block or jump.
Her breasts are too big
Her thighs are too big
Her waist is too small
Her stomach is too small
Her butt is too big
Her hair is too long
Her skin is too white
>>385635527
Yeah I saw people cancelling the lvl 3 blockbuster with Egret Call, that shit's devastating
>tfw just subbed $5 bucks to my favorite twitch streamer for the first time
feels good supporting someone whom i spend hours watching play video games every week.
>>385635167
>tfw have never subbed
>never even thought of subbing or donating
>always use adblock
>barely even follow
feels good to get some decent entertainment for free.
>>385635474
Same here. I can't imagine how pathetic you'd have to be to "support" millionaire streamers with your $5 a month just to feel part of an imaginary community. And I bet plenty of people tell themselves "a-at least I'm not poor" to justify it
>i spend hours watching someone else play video games every week
Name a bigger waste of time than this.
I just finished the Castlevania Animation, and being someone who has never touched a Castlevania game, except once when I got to play the first one on my friends NES, in what order should I play the games.
Also general Castlevania thread.
>>385634978
Order of release.
It's always order of release.
Everything that was ever made.
Order of release.
Why would anyone play or watch or read shit out of order?
>>385634978
>I just finished the Castlevania Animation, and being someone who has never touched a Castlevania game
Absolutely disgusting.
on most occasions I would agree to >>385635447
but it depends on how experience/how well you can handle old games.
If you can't handle the old games the 3 games on the NES will frustrate you to no end. If you are one of those people you should start with Symphony of the Night or any of the NDS ones.
Just started this, what am I in for?
Cybermodules.
getting stuck if you build your character wrong
weapons going from flawless condition to shit after firing ten rounds
needing extensive proficiency in energy weapons to swing a weightless sword
shodan character assassination
Shit overrated game, prepare to wrench a lot
im a employee of R* studios currently working on unnamed project(GTA 6) and i have 2 months of life left/give or take(leukemia).
So they are gonna fire/paid holiday until i die i guess to expecting to me getting better. i probably know i wont so im here to tease you guys little details about next R* game from them
i dont know a lot about Red Dead 2 i heard a little bit and saw some shit but it was mostly no texture animations/engine stuff,they dont show internal stuff to other employees too often and i also fuckin hate this shithead company but they pay you bretty good so i didnt quit earlier.
next project after RD2 is GTA game. I am on making engine developments and such stuff related to it.
-its a 3-player campaign again but you can play Co-op this time up to 4 players (4 is GTA Online character)
-one of them is middle aged dirty police woman, one is half-politician half-crime/mafia other is some refugee(niko bellic)/franklin type of character who is new to America.3rd character is mostly introduction for people who are new to series(not sure if any of those exists but whatever).
-Co-op is new gimmick this time being advertised as main point , considering R* doesnt wanna make it no campaign but also wanna have online-only game/connected social bullshit. So this way they will get both.
-Some of your actions in GTA Campaign mode will affect your character's GTA Online life.Your GTA Online character will appear both in single player and online/forced to create character in beginning even if you not gonna play online.
-Combat both melee/weapon is designed from scratch just like GTA V driving system coming from GTA IV. Melee has better/fluid animations and allowing you to combo. You can buy(online) or train different kinds of martial arts in single player. This stuff is behind grind lock on Online though or gonna buy microtransaction for getting powered up faster.
-Driving is not too different from GTAV most people liked it .
here's a thing most wouldnt even think about
pt1 end
some of the real life car companies are in deal since GTA V phenomenal launch on last gen.
Even more so after re-release / online $$$.
It's gonna be a first timer for GTA series and even expect more after game launches both for online/single player cars. Lambo is already lock.
i can answer to some of questions you ask and i will bs most of them so ask quality stuff and dont be sorry for me.
nice epic i like it
>>385634680
i dont care
This weekly has been set to Hell on Earth only. Have you enjoyed your Firebugs setting ALL the Scrakes and Flesh Pounds on fire? Have you enjoyed Commandos and SWATs not focusing on the little guys to keep them away from your Demo and Sharpshooter? Have you enjoyed no Medics ever because everybody just wants to shoot shit in slow motion?
>>385634573
No I just beat it solo with berserker.
>>385634573
you also forgot
>Have you enjoyed beating this on your first try with ease, without any form of team composition or communication
it doesnt sound like you have OP. Probably why you forgot it.
medic is almost unnecessary.
sadly they only fit specific tactics for each map and a good team wont even need one
Where does your favorite genre rank, /v/?
>>385634264
your ranking system is retarded. that is all
>>385634264
Move monster collecting rpg to god teir, and swap rouge-lite with rougelike and it's not a bad list.
