Incredible line from a grand juror in the Broadview 6 case, who had just asked the prosecutors why they get "unlimited tries" to indict people they don't want to indict: "I heard this case like last week and I thought it was a crock of shit then and I still think it is."

AI is the difference between me playing this or not 🤷‍♀️

I hope they added weapon durability to the Ocarina of Time remake.

Xenoblade Genesis Final Fantasy VII Revelation Dragon Quest Deuteronomy Super Mario Leviticus

Most Nintendo thing ever to show like 10 cryptic seconds of Duskbloods amidst a sea of anime rpg slop

Fire emblem coming out in that one week in September lol

The game's biggest strength is it's world building. The characters feel lively and unique, almost all of the areas are fun to be in and look at. Exploration is always rewarded, experimentation typically pays off. Most of the trinket effects and weapons feel usable and powerful in their own right.

The hardest boss for me was Midden, if I'm going by number of attempts. Last boss was actually pretty easy. Last "tough" boss was the one in the mirror world, but maybe because I did mirror world third instead of last.

I think there's a reason those old Zelda games don't have platforming and a reason why Castlevania games never went to a 2.5D space like this. Just too often the hitboxes of enemies and landing zones are unclear in ways that feel bad to lose to.

Finished Mina the Hollower 9/10 Enjoyed the ending and the final dungeon. Game loses a point for its controls and handling of the 3D space. That dodge timing is bad. You can argue that it's a valid creative choice, but I think it's a bad one. It accounts for 80% of the games difficulty

I've said this before the but the sudden, rampant normalizing of open and aggressive religiousness is extremely disturbing

We can imprison them, and we can construct new laws to deal with them. Every single employee of GEO should be treated as a terrorist. They should never breath free air. They should face the death penalty

The aesthetic and gameplay design is also significantly cooler outside of its first level the first level is something of a Castlevania tribute and feels like trodden territory. All of the other levels are much more unique and fun to play around in.

Perhaps because of its open nature, but Mina just gets easier and easier. As you power up the number of attempts against bosses is in free fall, runbacks feel trivial. XP is abundant. I like it when games are like this. I like the leveling and grind to pay off

The White House octagon sounds like something a screenwriter cuts for being too unrealistic.

Nintendo swooping in with a direct tomorrow that'll cap off SGF is so funny because there's always a chance they'll go totally rogue and announce like a toaster or something and call it a day, they dgaf if it's June

I love this winged bunny logo

Game studios right now

The game the live chat bots should be demanding.

Late to the party but the first season of Daredevil Born Again is super good?

Xbox announcing Persona 6 in name only and closing with Call of Duty. Rough show for them

Pelley and 60 minutes really were the gold standard for Serious Journalism and that they already felt the need to “balance” a story about the murder of innocent civilians by federal goons by implying they deserved it is an indictment of the entire industry

High proportion of bangers in this Xbox showcase but it comical how many of these settings look identical

It does have some good fatalities though

Dark Souls 3 and abortion: the classic pairing

How did they make a mortal Kombat movie that feels homier and cheaper than the original lol

Mortal Kombat 2, irresponsible mother brings daughter to watch dad fight in tournament

I've warmed up significantly to Mona the Hollower (it's still no Silksong) If your having a hard time with the early game, just know that it gets both much easier and much more interesting in the second and third dungeons.

Above average state of play, mid to below average SGF

Still really hoping for some kind of unifying package once FF7 Revelation comes out

Crossfire reminds me of Enemy Mine. Is one of them getting pregnant?

Always the annoying thing about these big game presentations is the insistence on having the talking heads explain the game trailers

The URL for Summer Games Fest, a common typo, now redirects to the Transgender Law Center aftermath.site/summer-games-f...

I think Chuck Schumer was wrong not to endorse Mamdani, who seems both totally free of antisemitism and thoroughly decent in his personal life, but Schumer's continued support for Platner in Maine makes his refusal to support his party's candidate for NYC mayor all the more indefensible.

This is my favorite Selaco review of all time.

The original Onimusha was more survival horror oriented. Resident Evil with a samurai. The new one is decidedly more action oriented. It plays fine, but I think this directional choice will keep it from standing out

The only thing about the new Onimusha that doesn't feel like the old Onimusha is the lack of 2003 edginess

With Destiny 2 dead, the curse is lifted, and a Pandora's box of 2007 era linear action games with neither an open world nor a live service component has been opened

Graham Platner stop trending on BlueSky challenge

Extremely distracting that Toshiro Mifune is British in Onimusha lol

Gotta say, I've become weirdly excited about that new God of War game. I hated the story in the last one so this is pretty surprising. Actually I've only liked every other God of War game now that I think about it. If the pattern continues we have a winner

There's a baby at my kids daycare named "Vaiolet" and not to put her on blast but definitely putting her parents on blast. Damn guys

I curse Gavin Newsom’s vetoing of ranked choice voting

calirornia voters boldly asked “could we get a governor worse than gavin newsom” and they discovered yes, easily

Los Angeles already has a conservative political party that can shed the baggage of the national Republican brand. It's called the Democratic Party.

As a Californian, just unspeakably angry with the boomers right now and furious at all of my peers still on meta apps and twitter. This whole country is so fucked.

Spoiler candidates fucked California Governor election, but so did Gavin Newsom who absolutely let this happen

Worth remarking on the lack of live service offerings in the State of Play. There seemed to be one or two but maybe that shit is finally over with
