obvs there's other crpgs I'm just trying to think of like, the big banner ones of the last couple years that are (were?) easier to recommend

you can definitely feel them trying to be like "this ain't your grandpas D&D videogame" now that they were away from the actual D&D license and playing it today those parts are, at best, really cringey lol

I miss cobalt.tools youtube support so bad....

I really do feel for the people that don't want to lose their job in an incredibly volatile industry and have to put up with this lol

am I being a little hyperbolic maybe but "we're not using AI in the game, we're just putting the ideas we got from AI in the game🙂" is a great way to taint the work of the actual people under you.
It's like any plagiarism, it demolishes the reputation of the work, including the non-plagiarized bits.

I THINK the Ultimate 2 (not C) extra buttons can be mapped in steam input now if you're using it on PC? Unsure tho I haven't tried it myself yet

((btw I haven't played it myself yet only seen videos so this might be outside the scope of the setting but oh well lmao))

Sol is actually a pretty accomplished villain in another universe (she swears!)

She had a change of heart but, struggling to make amends, took advantage of a cosmic event to slingshot herself across the multiverse for a fresh start. Too bad she hit a building or two on entry.

Powers: Pyrokinesis

my more realistic hope is that they pick up the thread from Jesse and Dylan's chat in the first game where Dylan points out their interchangeability, specifically highlighting their gender neutral names. Always thought it was an interesting and ominous nugget that I want more of lol

it's def the thing I'm the most unsure about cus I def want her to be around a lot still BUT I'm still v much on board.
my pie in the sky hope is them doing dual protags like AW2 but Jesse and Dylan, tho I feel like if that was the plan we might have seen that in the trailer?

Also for some reason they tend to bring up Doug Walker more often than most

Yea I think that's a huge part of why Pokemon's core fantasy hits uniquely hard.
You get such a strong sense of "I wish I could live there" bc it's very easy to see what it'd be like to live there.

Honestly it's pretty huge.
Hadn't bought physical manga in aaaages just bc I don't have the space for all the volumes.
But Viz app let me check out chainsaw man easily, I really liked it, and now whenever I hit a chapter(s) that I really love, I buy the volume it's in so I can revisit them easily.
