Incredibly strong page 1 gag to open your chapter on

Our tax dollars pretty much only go towards brutalizing ourselves

Beat Ninja Gaiden 4. 10/10, easy game of the year no contest. Up there with NG2. Arguably Platinum's best action game.

God, I was wooping and hollering at those last stretch of final bosses. Game is no bitch on Hard mode!

Got an OK rating.

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals

You can tell just from the headline that this is a potemkin fad cooked up by marketing and nobody in real life is sincerely doing this

having a great time

the rail sections are lame tho

3) it's still pretty ninja gaiden flavored. You slowly unlock the staple Ryu Hyabusa moves like Izuna Drop and Flying Swallow, absording orb essense by charging Ultimate Tech on landing, dismembered enemies are the most dangerous ones, etc. And it really has NG's ultraviolence KILL KILL KILL vibe.

2) and Metal Gear Rising 2 FUCKS man. Big dick game. Platinum is so fucking back.

the way you automatically deflect bullets while ninja running, it even uses a lot of the same stock scifi sound effects for menus.

parry is using your attack button into the enemies' attack, when you die the radio comms chick is like YAKUMO, NO! ANSWER ME! YAKUMOOOO!, game still encourages stealth kills when possible despite being an adredaline pumper action game

1) I was 3000000% correct in saying this is just Platinum using Ninja Gaiden to launder Metal Gear Rising 2. It's exxxtremely MGR, to a degree I didn't even expect. Everything is extra neon cyberpunk, basically everything you fight is a cyborg, angry nu metal constantly plays during combat

thoughts on Ninja Gaiden 4 so far

what a fucking banger movie

most of them have long realized it, they're just deeply dishonest people

Their core belief – some people are just better than others – leads naturally to the conclusion that one person is the betterest of them all

God, I never noticed that but that would definitely explain why I liked it and loathed the two superhero games.

Like nuGoW still does the AAA "automatically magnetize to target the moment you press any button" thing but like

it doesn't play itself

I'm just tired of everything being a dodge rolling simulator. (Or a parry simulator, same thing.) Action games have been reduced what basically amounts to Expensive Digital Bop It. I love Souls but it's been a huge net negative on games.

Well, we'll see how the new NG4 turns out in like 40 minutes.

Never forget one of the funniest interviews in gaming.

RIP Itagaki, man 💔

He mostly likes to sit in front of the TV and watch his stories these days

They're just Loot Games. The primary verbs are acquiring and processing loot, not killing things. Diablo and Nioh are the same genre

This has always been a extremely tiny screeching minority demanding that their bigotry dictate that no one else's children can learn of the existence of LGBTQ people.

Silent Hill f is bout 12 hours long, the first 8 hours are pretty good and the last 4 hours are so terrible that it ruins the whole thing.

The sunk cost fallacy is just that—a fallacy. It’s okay to change the things that aren’t working for you, from jobs, to partners, to gender.

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

New JoJo trailer looks... pretty damn ugly. Kind of an eyesore.

That artstyle was never gonna be easy to translate into motion and color, but still, can't say they nailed it.

When uploading to Bluesky, remember to resize your works to 800%! Why? Images are converted to .jpeg when uploaded. .jpeg compresses the image into 8x8 pixel blocks. If a block has more than one colour, that dreaded compression occurs!

I've been seeing a lot of pixel artists struggle with Bluesky's image compression, so I'd thought I'd share how to get clear, crisp pixels on the site!

Share to help a fellow pixel-artist!
