Before I'd watched it and heard the literal Pikmin music I thought it was her

There's an option in the accessibility menu that lets you see the path your coin is going to take and I highly recommend turning it on, if makes it so much easier

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 21h

Okay I've now actually watched that mysterious Nintendo video and yeah it's Pikmin

I'm enjoying Yotei quite a bit but so far it is ticking almost every box for "AAA game stuff that really shits me off".
Should have made a bingo card.
Still haven't seen the obligatory drug/hallucination sequence yet that every AAA game loves to have, but I bet it's in here somewhere

Ghost of Yotei got me thinking about this one

You can click R3 to turn it off btw. Had to google this because it was driving me insane

I think it should be socially and legally acceptable to smack these clean off somebody's face if they're filming you against your will

Really good thread in here detailing why you probably shouldn't buy that SNES RPG book

わたしがExceed Gunblaze Vengeanceわけないじゃん、ムリムリ！（※ムリじゃなかった!?） @takamomchi.bsky.social · 5d

alright gonna put myself out there a little bit

oh my lord I do believe I regret purchasing a book. i am not done and I intend to read far more of it to finish judging it but I'm already pretty upset.

The reason to not buy that guy's JRPG book isn't the weird racists posts he made years ago (though, that is valid), the real reason should be that it's poorly written, poorly researched, often plagiarised drivel

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 1d

can this piece of shit company hurry up and go out of business already

Jamie Galea x #PAXAUS / #MIGW @jamiegalea.bsky.social · 1d

Ah yes I'd love to pay $108 for a game without the original case and probably not a manual. Well done EB.

Digimon World 2003 on PS1 in a DVD case and a generic EB label.

you should go, you might actually get a decent cup of coffee

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 2d

There's no button to speed up text in or skip cutscenes, but they let you skip the cooking mushrooms/light a fire prompts? They knew

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 2d

I'd also like to say about Yotei: all of the 'minigames' suck and are annoying. Cook this fish, paint this picture, hammer this steel, play this guitar, light this campfire- bad! The fact that the game lets you skip some of these feels like an admission from the devs themselves that this shit sucks

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 2d

thank u for reading my blog (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 2d

that's not to say I'm not enjoying it .. just that if does very much feel like "more ghost of tsushima" (I do like Atsu a lot more than Jin so far though)

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 2d

don't know if i agree with people saying this game is massively different or improved over the first one but man, it is stupid pretty (but then so was the first one)

jacobbles @jacobbles.bsky.social · 2d

okay genuine question: does ANYONE enjoy this specific type of AAA climbing gameplay that it feels like every big open world game has? this shit is always a chore and we all just put up with it. this isn't fun right?
