In the final scene of DMC5 the subs for Dante say 大当たり!/Ooatari! with the reading aid being ジャックポット/Jackpot. Ooatari is the original wording used in DMC1 for Dante's catchphrase, even before the audio was recorded and localization changed it to Jackpot. It's still in the JP subs there too.

Ah, they dug out the mid 2010s Eguchi look for this one. Funny.

Pretty easy, if boring, achievement run. These games need more creative ones tbh

Tenho que voltar a trazer a tona que o Gohan é um pai bosta. Mas por que? Porque ele aprendeu com o Goku a ser assim...

Leonposting following after Chrisposting became a thing, and Capcom recycling Chris' arcs for Leon constantly, while people also recycle Uncle Dante jokes for him is incredibly funny.

I guess after RE4R and RE9, Parry is just gonna be Leon's gimmick? Wonder if it's gonna remain in RE going forward or strictly be a Leon thing while other characters get different stuff.

Mayhem mode and how the meter gain interacts with Parry was such a shitty addition to Mercenaries man...

Jeanne's preferred weapon being Angel Slayer is according to The Wonderful 101. Why is this not reflected in her actual games besides a couple filler attacks on her boss fights? Because poverty series is poverty.

Chris just barging into the house, going "Sorry Ethan..." and *blam blam* to set RE8 into motion while looking cool while also refusing to elaborate is so god damn stupid it loops back into being great.

Nice 100 before the Elite 4.

GameFreak giving the Charmander line Dragon Rage at levels 43/48/54 in Gen 2 only to give it Dragon Breath and Outrage anyway via Breeding and TMs is so stupid but I guess it makes sense to encourage the former. It's considerably less amusing that it stayed like that in Gen 3 thhough.

I don't give enough of a shit about RE4's integrity to be bothered by the remake but if the rumors of another RE1 remake are true I'm raiding Capcom's HQ.

Grace is canonically a redditor in RE9 what the fuck

They really just slapped a fucking 0.1x stun/wince chance modifier at Insanity and called it a day holy shit lmfao "Use the fucking shop weapons dipshit." Nakanishi, I kneel... We, in fact, don't control the buttons we press 🧎

Detailed difficulty rank stats. Rank 4 has all modifiers at 1x, so Modern can be easier than "default." Rank 8 is a big step up (2.5x damage to player), so Classic can be way harder than Modern if you're playing well. Insanity is just stupid: 3.6x damage to player and 0.1x chance to stun enemies!

I did some digging into the difficulty system in #ResidentEvilRequiem

Why is Resident Evil 4 one of the most glazed games of all time but it's damn near impossible to find any consistent info on how the melee prompt trigger actually works in that game?

Crazy that Kanto might still have the best structure of any Pokemon game for just a plain old RPG to replay. Either it or Hoenn but after the 6th Gym Hoenn does struggle a good bit.

RE9 might be an actual all-timer. Really gotta think this over and do a few more runs and experiment with mechanics. No PC version for me yet so I'm just rawdog testing everything on Switch 2 and PS5 for now.

OK, here's my "the (English) Pokemon Pokémon game for the Nintendo Switch system" cursory analysis. First of all, I dumped the game to immediately discover the most sad romfs ever:

Switch FireRed/LeafGreen have the Aurora and Mystic tickets as rewards for beating the game. Now I wonder if GameFreak tweaked the Altering Cave or they have just "forgot" about it to give value to the eventual Emerald re-release.

Here we go...

Time is not passing fast enough...

Resident Evil 4 Remake jank shit thread before RE9 is out :)

I wonder how busted RE9 on 120/240fps is gonna be on PC...

Biblically accurate Jiren.

KO frame bugs are funny.

Behold, the least fun action game encounter of all time.

2000 yen on the Japanese eshop, so around $12.99. Perfectly fine pricing for native ports with the eventual Home integration.

Dee Em Cee Three

When did the opinions online change that the Sevii Islands suck actually happen?

If they restore the AuroraTicket, MysticTicket and Old Sea Map + bug fixes and Home connectivity then $20 is probably fine, if a little expensive, for the GBA Pokemon games. RIP Colosseum and XD though, forever locked to NSO.

Você ai. Seu bosta.

Shotgun stuff for the Resident Evil 4s so I don't forget about it anymore.

Another gaming event, onwards to another 6 months of explaining to people that DMC and Dragon's Dogma shared teams so there was no way they would have anything to show if a DMC game was being made for a while.

Romeo, watchu doing bro

Damn... RIP Chibiterasu.

Corpos thinking the FGC isn't poverty as fuck will never not be funny. I blame Mortal Kombat tbh

This game sucks SO much... Sometimes.

Pragmata Demo on Switch Dos... Runs okay on Portable mode, amazing Docked.

Aw fuck, I'm gonna have to double dip on Relink.

Finally got the idea for another article... Suck-To-Target. Shouldn't take me too long to get it down even if it covers lots of games... Ocarina of Time, DMC1, DMC3-5, Bayo 1-3 and an addendum to Greek GoW should be plenty. I'll think about throwing NG Black in, not sure how I'll structure it yet.

Playing some more of Silent Hill f... Big fan of the Horror Game > Shitty Beat 'em Up pipeline being a thing.

Precious Tears is such cool and weird book. A picture book/novel hybrid retelling of the first Devil May Cry that takes gameplay into account in the brief bits of prose it incorporates to supplement each page. The parts that refer to Dante himself are fairly reminiscent of FotNS's writing imo

Coldsteel mix

CAG is such a shitty term that somehow Greek GoW used to not be considered as a CAG and now is... We really need to kill that term.

DMC ditching the DMC3 Stylish Rank system and going back to a purely aggression based, system without the repetition penalty but further rewarding variety might accomodate Style Play a bit better than the current system that drastically overvalues early DPS into sustain strings later on. Hmm...

Heh

Reading through Bingo Morihashi's old blog and DMC3's script being actually finalized less than 2 months before the game went gold is so funny. Probably explains why the JP subs have so many differences from the English dialogue.

NG vs DMC shit is *still* ongoing holy shit Liberally blocking this dumbass 2005 debate in the 2026.
