Audio psyops are routinely ineffective (see Waco).

Try tear gas and tanks instead.

Maybe it will be good?

- We are finally getting a game that takes place after Third Strike in the storyline, so we'll probably see some cool legacy characters that we never got to see in SFV while likely saying goodbye to anyone involved with Shadaloo (which, unfortunately for me, probably means RIP to my main man Balrog)

If they do bring back characters that by all rights shouldn't be there because of lore reasons, I hope they just draw a distinction between what characters actually play a role in the storyline and what characters are just there for the fans and whatnot. Just because M. Bison is dead dead doesn't mean he can't be playable—and just because he's playable doesn't mean you have to write him into the storyline, kind of like how none of the DLC characters added post-A Shadow Falls have anything to do with SFV's story mode (as far as I'm aware).

Or they could just go the maximum hack route and just bring Shadaloo and Bison back to life again

Zero chance the core SFII characters won't be in the game.  Speaking of 3S characters though, I want my husbando Dudley.  I have too small an IQ to play charge but want to into boxing for fun.

This being chronologically after 3 makes me wanna see progressed characters.  Weirdly SFV seemed to design characters as if they were older than any previous entry (Daahlsim, Bison having white hair).  That's what they should be looking like in SF6 (the men I mean, the women have to remain youthful and gorgeous for coomer costumes to still work).  Still have the Nostalgia designs for alts but go further with updating characters.  Would love Gief to be full mountain man bear wrestling or E. Honda changing up his style.

The real question though is what will the next gameplay gimmick be?  3S was parries I suppose, USFIV was Focus, SFV was V system Super Saiyan for everyone.  I kinda found V system too obtrusive compared to Focus or the parries.  Felt like it was way too big a modifier mechanic stuck into the game rather than one thing in the toolbox.

Why do companies bother releasing things about video games that don't even show the games?

Still, excited to wait six years to buy this after there's a full edition released on sale with all $120 of DLC to have the full roster.

The honking will end when freedom improves.

To be quite genuinely frank and honest I'm not buying this until I can get it for like half price at a flea market.

The graphics are worse than BOTW which makes no sense.  It looks like sludge even when people do emulator shit with it.  But I could ignore that and put my brain back in N64 mode to get into it.

But the worst thing I see from the footage is just a boring empty world like some kind of carnival park ride instead of a living environment.  The Pokemon just wander around not even interacting with one another or the environment.  There's really no extra content or random encounters.  Pokemon run on Ocarina of Time AI, just Spawn Pokemon > run wandering script > run proximity detection script > notice player > attack player.  This is literally the way AI were handled almost thirty years back in OoT and the earliest 3D games.

GF is just lazy.  Simple as.  They put in the bare minimum amount of effort.

Imagine if walking around you'd see:
>Pigeot swooping down grabbing Magikarp from rivers
>flocks of bird Pokemon together
>herds of horse Pokemon
>mama Ursaluna with baby Teddiursas
>Slowpoke fishing with their tails
>fire Pokemon combining their flames

Imagine buying a studio whose only good games came out a decade ago and you don't even get the rights to reboot them because the studio doesn't own them anymore.

Is this a coomer game?

It's a strategy game

Is the strategy to edge for as long as possible while playing your beeg tiddy anime waifus?

Arcanine would be better if he didn't get dark colouration.

Actually like the new Qwilfish, Ursaluna, Viet Cong Decidueye, Wyrdeer.  The leaked Mons in the game are nice.  Still the game looks like an N64 title.

The new weapons aren't fun. In particular the Bulldog is an actual Nerf gun and the Ravager may as well be the Cursed Halo Reverse Throwing Pistol.

I really do miss the BOOM-CHIKCHIK shotgun.

Stalling For Time by Gary Noesner, it's p gud

I'm back, it didn't work out.

Nope, this is the year I turn it all around, stop going on internet forums shitposting, get a gf irl, live my life.  Will never see you all again after midnight tonight.

I don't really go on new forums anymore. Discord has replaced 90% of that.

Discord truly was the last nail in the coffin to 00's forum culture.

Reddit was the first.

What is on your list this year?

You can't answer with "a gf".
