That's a nice surprise.
The humor of these guys... Impeccable
I don't think I've watched anything on Prime since they put ads on it, so can't answer for sure. I was going to watch Fallout this morning, then realized I wouldn't have enough time before I needed to leave for the day, but the ad that played had a little blurb before it that thanked the sponsor and made it sound like it would only play before the video.
Didn't expect it, hilarious lolThe humor of these guys... Impeccable
My personal favourite since you mentioned how we eliminated an enemy faction a few days ago.
At least you get to play against them now.
Lol, that was good. Yeah, game is great. I need to go to sleep soon but kinda want to play another session.My personal favourite since you mentioned how we eliminated an enemy faction a few days ago.

Especially when people are rallying to defend Matar Bay against the current invasion.
Konami execs are probably happy that there are indies that want to license their IP for games like Vampire Slayer so they can make free money.

it's a win win situation for all tbh
Users get really good quality content and fresh products
Developers can work on some of their favorite IPs via new games or collaborations
Konami gets paid for such work
so from what I can tell, the makers of this "sequel" put the name of a 1988 European PC platformer on an unrelated Castlevania clone? I looked up the original game and I honestly can't discern any similarities aside from it being a side-scroller. Maybe the Beyond the Ice Palace name is hugely popular in Europe, I dunno.

I really wanted to play Kill La Kill IF on my Steam deck. Watch it pop on that OLED, but it just won't work no matter what...
Small in comparison to what I posted, but The Boys, Reacher, Invincible are straight up good. Terminal List, Upload are ok. I'm sure there are many more, especially non-English.
Yes, they place ads both before and during content. The ad breaks have been 20 to 90 seconds in my experience. I have only watched season 1 of Invincible since the ads were added. Edit: From memory: The pre-roll ad is usually shorter, and there's generally two ad breaks during an episode. This is in the US.

It can't hope to compete with the brilliance of the third game, sadly.
Are there seriously ads now playing if you pay for the subscription?
That just makes me want to cancel my sub and pirate things instead

The Boys is by far and away amazon's biggest show, bigger than Lord of the Rings even
I just paid to get rid of the ads. I know I am part of the problem but it was less than an espresso here in Paris.
I was talking about hype going into season 1 and cost. The Boys blew up after the first season for sure. I mean that season 1 trailer had most of us hooked but ye.
I was getting slightly bored with Dragons Dogma 2... so I didn't really pay attention, so now everyone is dead! The game warned me about the plague several times but I thought it would be something that I had control over once it became actually dangerous, did not expect it to kill everyone in game bloody amazing!
I hope they add more in depth crafting. I weirdly enjoyed the manual potion brewing in the first game and they still let you auto craft stuff if you got bored by it.
They also desperately have to fix the combat. I know 1st person melee is difficult to pull off but whatever that mess was in the first game wasn't it at all. It always looked like a bunch of janky flailing around.

The new update for the TR collection restores a skin from the TRII beta, among other fixes
This is genius. I knew the scene it was referencing right away, it's infamous because of the horrible editing.The humor of these guys... Impeccable
Before Insomniac finished up with Spiderman stuff and moved on to Wolverine I would have liked a Spider Gwen game.
Instead we got 2x SpiderMAN.
And I don't even like comic book stuff usually.

I mean this is where the "I wish there was more than just Negative & Positive reviews for steam existed" sort of statement existed. The game was made by a pretty tiny development team and by that scope and scale what they've done it's pretty cool.
This was posted today on their discord by the Founder of the studio
Also this is from their discord and from their Sound Engineer who did their soundtrack and most of the sounds etc:
I think one of the biggest things is they probably needed a bigger pool of constructive feedback overall but the active pool to grab from in terms of that didn't give the best feedback or what
I mean I tried my best to help Lol when I got asked to playtest
I just sort of hope it doesn't get eternally shit on by steam, and it looks like they're doing their best to fix it up
I'm currently playing Afterimage and have some very strong thoughts about it but right now I only want to complain about the absolute idiocy that is the map design/progression in this game. Not only there's no indication of where you should be going next or what's your next objective but you're forced to constantly jump around between levels in a nonsensical order just because. One of these things is bad enough from a game design standpoint but both in conjunction is just maddening.
Image the alphabet and you're in B and want to get to D, you'd imagine the sequence would be B -> C -> D or maybe a bit more convoluted but understandable like B -> C -> E -> D. Well forget all that... you need to go to G and then X and then L and then back to A and then C only to find a closed door so you better go to Z and then N, and pray you didn't miss any special ability along the way or it's back to square one because fuck you. It makes absolutely no sense that you need to go from one extreme of the map to the other just to jump back and bounce around every single zone just to move a centimeter forward, it's driving me insane.

Ah, yes, "Essex Wine Mum Lara". Excellent, if a little easy to get.
It's the same thing that happened with the Dodo, tourists are going to drive it to extinction. /S
But yeah it's sad though. What's even more messed up is that a lot of those people aren't ever going to actually play the games since they are in Japanese. From what I have seen even Retro game corp bought some which is sad. In the video they even mentioned how they went to smaller places to pick up the games.
This is messed up since now even less people are going to be able to play these games. I wonder if this means that even more people will turn towards emulation and roms. There are already people that do that in Japan, so I'm guessing the numbers will only grow over the years since it will not be as easily in the future to just go to a retro store and buy a console for cheap and also buy cheap games. They are slowly turning into the ugly mess that is American retro game stores.
In the future a CIB copy of Pocketmonster Red will cost you over ¥10,000 when previously it was under ¥3,000 a few years ago. Even when it was ¥3,000 yen it Japan it was well over $100 in the US just for the cartridge alone.
I have a lot of different thoughts towards this but I just think the end result is not good.
Years from now a lot of older "classic" Japanese games may well be forgotten? Which technically already seems to be the case for stuff like Japanese films. A lot of people don't even seem to know who Akira Kurosawa is. Only Weebs and Otakus outside of Japan will seem to remember this things in the next 30 years from now. It's now year 2050, Yoko Taro is now passed away, do people remember Drag-on Dragoon. They didn't bring the series back it was never released digitally and those old retro copies are now horded up in the homes of collectors.
