So dumb to just toss Eve to the wayside like some trash. This Evie character doesnt have half the appeal that Eve has. Shift Up is lucky it has so many many simps that’ll just blindly accept anything they dish out.

I really liked the recent demo and I would not mind waiting much longer as well to polish everything.

Maybe its all fake like a bunch of teenagers running a “Fake” ghost hunting YouTube channel.

Working on a gacha is probably a cheat code when it comes with designing characters for a single player game.

In reply to QwertyThe2nd. "Any game that has been made free just once will be delisted forever and the devs will be condemned to Hell" Gotta go free twice to break free completely from the binding contract. Pico was permanently free so the second time was impossible and thus, to Hell they go

Vermintide 2 has been free to keep twice. Once in November 2021 (or 2022, I forget). Then again in November 2025.

What exactly is Steam’s policy on this?

Oh, great. MORE “comfort gaming.” We certainly don’t have enough of that already.
Everything is going to slop, because of hurt feelings.

Comment on The Super Mario Galaxy Movie’s reception is a result of Nintendo fully prioritizing audiences over critics and accolades, Japanese film studies professor says by Ninja 4561

Ninja 4561 — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 05:54:02 +0000

If they didn’t want to alienate the fans, they failed. The Galaxy games had enough potential to make a story on par with Puss in Boots 2, but the movie was more concerned with having hype moments and aura. I’m sure that not caring about the quality of the movies might end up costing Illumination and Nintendo hundreds of millions of dollars, since the Galaxy movie is tracking to make much less money than the first one did, and I imagine the sequels and spinoffs will do even worse since the brand has been damaged. Yes, the movies will still be massively profitable, but Inside Out 2 and Zootopia 2 both made over $1.6 billion, and the Mario movies could have reached those heights had they not arbitrarily held themselves back. Maybe it was a bad idea to get the creators of Teen Titans Go to direct these movies

In reply to Maverick512000. When it's all said and done, this movie is going to be behind the first movie in box office grosses by around 25 percent. No one stays critic proof forever.

I can not disagree, in the current times, everything sort of feels hopeless in terms of expression and creative liberty of artistry in the mainstream. I can not blame everyone for looking for escapism and an antidote from the harshness of the world itself through Visual Novels. Taking a step back for awhile might be a good thing until society calms down.

I hope Urobuchi doesn’t stop making stories. Some of us still like his style “poison”.

But they did alienate fans by making a movie that’s nothing like Mario. Stop giving excuses for their incompetence.

Critics and accolades don’t pay the bills, the audience does. Always prioritize the people that pay money for your product over the ones that expect it for free just so they can give their opinion on it.

what’s that professor smoking, because Galaxy Movie a mess, it doesn’t even satisfy the basic tenant of storytelling, it’s just, References with a Nintendo spice, except for anyone that wants an actual Galaxy movie, heck, it should’ve been called Peach’s Galaxy or the Princess Peach Movie because of how background Mario n co are, even the ideas they present aren’t satisfying, it’s just nothing

Bowser’s Redemption, nothing, if it was meant to be Bowser playing the Bros, they did it wrong and it seemed like a genuine redemption arc

Peach and Rosalina, for sisters, they didn’t really didn’t show it too much, even the first movie setup Mario n Luigi better than this, this is just, “we’re sisters, for reasons”, if anything, Daisy would’ve suited that sister role better since Movie Peach is so similar to Daisy, their practically gonna be twins

and yes, even the final battle was unsatisfying, why, Mario literally fighting Bowser because “my son’s dream” despite Bowser also being oppose to it, it was literally Peach’s Fight that she handed over to Mario to feel important instead of doing it for himself, and I mean like in the first movie, where Mario came back to fight to show the doubters wrong, even Luigi got a moment blocking Bowser’s fire with a Sewer Circle, Galaxy’s fight had no meaning other than having one, showing off Dry Bowser, a Smash Bros. character, and the Odyssey Dragon

and even then, the Sonic movies exist, and they set the Gold Standard for Video Game Movies, they may not make as much Minecraft, FNAF, or Mario, but certainly has a better quality to ’em than them that’ll last a life time and still make even

so no, that professor is wrong, and it’s literally just Nintendo being control freaks over their stuff, which is both good and bad

Fool Square Enix!! After they spent massive amount of budget DEI WOKE failed projects like Forspoken and Avengers and also rubbish NFT slop, now they have to put safe mode on games that could have bring millions to them. At this point, even a freshman like me has better strategy to save the company rathen than clueless boards there. Just hire me and I’ll give easy solution in a quick time

In reply to Kyle. I feel like thats the point. Its not supposed to be. A cohesive storyline, just like the mario games arent really sequels as they are adventures
