E3 (but not really) 2022

>there was "The Gay Agenda"

As if it's not still a thing. Disney confirmed.
Disney hiring of gays in a response to upsetting Transexuals who upset the gays by portraying a bill relating to Transexuals and children by calling it the name "The Don't Say Gay Bill" is just so many levels of tone deaf clusterfuckness that we need multiple Internet Historian Videos about it. It was truly a watershed moment who's significance will not be really appreciated until many years down the road.

It caused one of the biggest corporate shitstorms for Disney Shareholders since Eisner.
 
LGBT stuff was not really woke there was "The Gay Agenda" which predates it, but even then it was a very loose affiliation and everything on that end was mostly corporate activist groups who exploited gay identity for profit and donations. There's large swaths of gays who just want to be left alone and not be part of anything like that.

But some would like to play as a gay character in a role playing game.
Cool, there's lots of degenerate minority interests and they don't need to be in Harvest fucking Moon.
 
Now that the dust has settled, I think it’s safe to say that Nintendo’s presentation had some interesting (third party) reveals, but nothing too ground-breaking and it was just “pretty good” at best.

WHICH MAKES IT BY FAR THE BEST PRESENTATION THIS YEAR WOOOOOOOOOOO NINTENDO WINS AGAIN BAYBEEEEEEE

Nintendo winning this year's E3 is like having a normal person win at the special olympics

How many years have they won in a row now? like 6 or 7?
 
Nintendo will always have an advantage when it comes to “winning” E3 because their legacy franchises are among the most beloved in the industry. They can’t always have a mainline Mario or Zelda ready to show off, but they tend to do a good job highlighting something that will give them tons of goodwill. Metroid Dread last year was a good example. They now have another big advantage coming into E3 in that they are not really interested in highlighting the diversity of the development teams or “the journey” the production was. “Here’s some game trailers with two or three short goofy skits. Please buy them if you like the way they look. Good-bye.”
 
They're fucking remaking Live-A-Live?? Sorry I'm reading the thread but jeez.
Yes, they are.

There's a demo on the eShop that lets you start three of the chapters and stops when two of them start getting interesting [you get all the students in one, and things start going wrong in another]. You can take the save data from the demo and use it on the main game.

Without going back and checking, Stray and Boltgun are the two most interesting games of the show for me. Maybe Space Marine 2 though they didn't show gameplay of it.

Nintendo not pandering to diversity makes them win by default, but let's be honest, no company should "win E3" simply by saying "port, port, re-release, sequel, re-release".
 
I've bought over 50 Switch games since February and I'll be buying more for the rest of the year.
Granted, the majority of them are games that are either Asia or Japan only (with English) but I've been quite happy with the output for the Switch this year. And with Live A Live and Xenoblade 3, I'll be playing into next year.

But I probably won't be playing the Persona games. Persona Central is saying that P5 is getting a physical release (which I just bought over the Xmas holidays on sale) and P3/P4 will be digital only - which is lame and gay.
The Switch is the actual and current Playstation console for various japanese games, no jokes.

The PS4 version of NieR Automata was 900p, and going off the video didn't even look close to that res for the switch. Likely mean outputted to 1080p rather than running at.
It's up to be seen how the Switch port will fare out once released, but it would be rather funny if it's better optimized than on PS4 and PS4 Pro.
Switch seems to be a test-bed for games that were originally unoptimized on other consoles with cleaned up code though, kinda like I recall to read the Switch port of Witcher 3 on launch to be more stable than the original console versions were. Or Alien Isolation having better image quality on Switch than PS4. And the example of 13 Sentinels that I mentioned earlier as well.

It all depends if the development teams have competent code monkeys that know better than relying on the raw brute strength of the hardware to do the heavy lifting.
