@Beyondthegrave07, Nintendo would actually be great because I'm not familiar with it anymore.

I'm kind of doing a farce data science article for the swordfighting website I'm writing for The working title is, "Do Swords Make You Look Cool?"

Basically I'm looking at people's Instagram accounts and comparing Likes and Comments on photos where people have swords and do not have swords to see if pictures with swords get more. I've come to the realization that if I just look at the pages of sword practitioners, there's likely a bias because obviously the sword community would be interested in swords. I thought one good control group would be cosplayers because there's a good chance cosplayers have multiple costumes, some which have swords and some which do not, and that people looking at these Instagram accounts aren't following them specifically for sword content.

Tldr; writing an article about how cool swords are and need to look up cosplayers

Ohhh, well. Let me cover you on Nintendo @eigen-space , or at least, Fire Emblem. I'm sure some of them are cosplayed quite often.

Shulk - Xenoblade Chronicles

Rex - Xenoblade Chronicles 2 

Pyra/Mythra - Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Byleth - Fire Emblem: 3 Houses

Dimitri - Fire Emblem 3 Houses

Edelgard - Fire Emblem 3 Houses

Roy - Fire Emblem: Blinding Blade

Lucina - Fire Emblem: Awakening 

Chrom - Fire Emblem Awakening

Robin - Fire Emblem Awakening

Marth - Fire Emblem (OG)

Ike - Fire Emblem Path of Radiance

Corrin - Fire Emblem: Fates 

Lyn - Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade

Isometric is a specific type of parallel projection with equal angles between axes. It's good for tile-based games where you don't see the horizon, and everything appears the same size no matter where they are. Looking at some FF9 screenshots, I don't think it uses this view, I see different ones. Maybe the overworld does, I'm not sure.

The fixed camera doesn't have any other name, AFAIK.

In the 90's, the fixed camera was used in games with pre-rendered backgrounds. Developers would achieve better graphics at the cost of camera movement. Maybe pre-rendered is the word you had in mind? 🤔 Even though it's about the graphics instead of the camera type. 

Wait, nevermind. People already mentioned pre-rendered graphics above, oops.

@eigen-space I believe the category you are thinking of is a static camera with a mix of fixed panning when you are in a location/town/dungeon. Similar to FFIX, Resident Evils older games use fixed cameras and fixed panning cameras that follow the character on a "track". Since you normally don't have any control of the camera, it is categorically fixed to be static or pan along the map as needed.

Yeah like Slava, Isometric is not 3D, as it's 2D or 3D but in plan view, which is without distance so lines don't bend into the distance..

Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy the game but hey you got a new platinum out of it!

Congrats for what it's worth.

Congrats!

Congrats!

Nice work

"Coaching" a #1 doesn't take all that much, hard to take credit for that! 😛

Pretty sure I still like you.

Yes, they are definitely not for everyone... That RNGeezus can be one fickle mistress at times!

you know i seen this article, and all i could think about is how come this hasn't happened already by Sony? im sure there are 3rd party etc, and Xbox had their own disabilities adaptive controller... like ages ago? 

Still, better late than never. Nintendo kind of works within the joycon being single handed for multiple games as well.

@eigen-space I am very lucky that I have been with my CP my whole life, and can only not use my right hand. If I had been disabled hallway through my life then yes, I just adapted to only being able to use my one hand due to my disability all my life and knowing no different 

I remember reading about this one

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_Adaptive_Controller

I really thought Sony had something like this for their consoles

i already have a ton. May be a bit older, but they still work. Blood sample + buffer solution = positive or negative haha

Keep on fighting the good fight, there 🙂

Good stuff, my wife just ordered them for us!! 

If one gets it done, it's you my friend! I already know that it will turn out great, without even having to look at it

Congrats

Congrats!

Ohh okay like the purchased list under game library, that make sense.

Like on the PS4.

@NERVergoproxy, exactly! I guess I didn't notice the feature on the PS4 lol

No kidding, I learned from this feature like a month or two ago too, even though it's been on PS4 for years now, lol.

The cutscenes were ok. The animation was pretty grainy but maybe they did that on purpose? The only thing that bothered me about the voice acting is that it didn't line up with mouth movement lol

Congrats!

Well done.

I agreed. Puzzles games are indeed fun to play outta most of em. I used a text walkthrough guide to follow everything from start to finished.

Konami reminding us that they definitely don't make games anymore, well not good ones anyway.

They've already whored out their IP to be used on Pachinko machines, I bet they couldn't believe their luck when NFTs came along. Already expecting the outrage and no doubt Jim Sterling's video about it when they start selling SIlent HIll 2 NFTs.

We all know it's coming...

Konami wants to do everything but make video games it seems. 

Surprise... there is one game they're involved with now that sounds interesting, GetsuFumaDen Undying Moon. I learned about this one just now, and found it on Steam as an Early Access title. Konami is involved, with the indie studio GuruGuru as the lead developer. It's been getting mostly positive reviews, with some comments about it being a rogue-like metroidvania. I'm tempted to get it. It's getting a Switch port, but hopefully a PS4 one will follow. The original GFD was released on Nintendo Famicom in Japan only.

Yes, it means everything to us guide writers. We do it to help others and make things easier, we love to know when we're doing just that. 

A well deserved nomination for an excellent author

They need new controllers more than anything. I love PS VR, it’s a game changer for many things. I just hope it gets more stuff like Astro Bot, Moss, Ghost Giant, Deracine (with full locomotion this game would be flawless, still love it though)… 

PSVita2!

I hate to say this, but the Vita didn't do well enough for a Vita 2.

"And if you don't like it, go to hell."

It's probably more sinister than that, something more like.

"We have so many loyal and dedicated fans, so we know you'll buy just about anything we put out, because it's a Square Enix game"

"Please be excited"

-2022 edition

I've done this a few times too. There's this weird feeling of "I wanna get Platinum or 90% trophies on this game or else I won't play it type vibe"

I don't like it, that's for sure.

I remember a few years ago I played about 10 mins of "Life Is Strange Before The Storm" and I just thought, man I hated this character from the other game and already it's off to a boring start and I am stuck.

Definitely gonna delete this game and the trophy list before I pop anything.

It's not even the idea of getting a platinum to be honest. For me, this is what happened.

I tried Control, Minoria, and Tearaway Unfolded yesterday but deleted them before I got a trophy. Control had camera movements that triggered my motion sickness. I couldn't get past the first boss fight in Minoria after several attempts so it didn't seem fun. And Tearaway had this weird mechanic where it tracked your controller movements (and did a poor job at it) and I didn't feel like dealing with that right now (I've played the original Tearaway on the Vita and really liked it).

I'll probably play Minoria and Tearaway Unfolded at some point, but they just didn't click with me right now. I think it's because I've been playing some games that were immediately interesting lately.

I've played a AAA game, or "popular" game in many years. Not sure if they will click or not, but there's just something about a time investment/new challenge that puts me off.

Sometimes I am playing a game and then my son comes up to me grinning holding a Thomas The Tank Engine and I just think, awesome I don't have to play this anymore today.

I much prefer puzzle games or simple retro stuff, or the Warriors games, mostly the only type of game I tend to play these days. Like you I look at Hades and think wow that looks awesome! I can't wait to hear everyone saying how good the game is and what it does, because I know I won't be playing it. And I have no idea why.

Congrats

Congrats!

@Mesopithecus, I kinda did something a little different last year with how I purchase games. I would look at Amazon for preorders, watch a gameplay trailer, and then preorder the game if it looked halfway decent. It was mostly a successful venture.

Congrats!

Let's be real, I clearly aimed at contributing a little to this particular platinum number. Success!

All mainline Ratchet games are good, so you can just play them in release order. The only thing that didn't age well is the strafing mechanic in the very first game. 

Can't check the US store because I already have it purchased, but it looks like you can still buy it in the UK store. Maybe they brought it back recently?

Hmm, yes that is interesting, it does seem to be available again in the UK. Great news. As earlier this year, it was gone...

Signed out of my US account to see, and it's in the US store too for $9.99 for either game

Well done my friend, huzzah!! I knew you could do it, congratulations on your hard earned 100% 👏👏👏 Bravo!!

Thanks @Joe Dubz! I'd like to think that is partly due to your encouragement! 😉
