Social The Social Thread 3.2.2 - Switch 2 Hype Time!

Man, I feel so mixed cause it certainly feels like Devil May Cry but they recast Vergil. JYB as Dante takes getting used to cause he voices Nero, sure, but Dan Southworth's more nasal voice is iconic and this new guy isn't even trying to sound like that

I like the songs they've picked for needle drops so far, Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach do feel suitably Devil May Cry, I do hope they bring in some actual DMC music at some point though.

But yeah, I absolutely agree that the voice acting is distracting, only because I am expecting something to be there when it's not.

Daredevil Born Again is pretty good but it feels kind of off in some ways, like hearing your favorite song slightly out of tune

I know the show had production issues so hopefully things get smoothed out

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I feel really alone right now. Is anyone out there?

Hello there.

All my discord chats were so silent I thought everyone in the world had disappeared

Well, it is the dead of night. People gotta get ready for work/school tomorrow.


That and DST is ****ing up a lot of people's internal clocks.

with how many seeds are being planted, I’m sure things are gonna go down smoothly (that and parts of the 2nd and 3rd episodes were the original first 2 episodes of the original version of Born Again)

Day 11: Devil May Cry 3

What a coincidence that I scheduled this game on the day a trailer for the Netflix show comes out lmao. Devil May Cry 3 is one of the coolest games out there, changing your tastes forevermore. You boot up the game and see Dante being a cool dude eating pizza until he gets ****in stabbed by like a dozen demons, then he shakes em off and does Wacky Wahoo Pizza Man **** and earns a permanent place in your heart. This game's combat has such an incredible feel to it that may take getting used to, especially if you aren't used to waiting between sword swings, but it feels ridiculously satisfying to get the hang of. Doing a High Time into Ebony and Ivory or a Prop Shredder makes you feel incredible, sending everything flying with crowd control combos puts a smile on your face and getting to see Dante do the cool **** in cutscenes only in game is simply divine. Then you have the game's challenge into the mix, not only because it's pretty hard, Easy Mode only becoming available when you die a handful of times, but also to get a high combo rank going. Hell, there's even some statues that give you goodies if you can get a high enough combo rank on them which is such a fun idea that I'm shocked it isn't more common.

The combat has substance to be sure, but what about style? Dante starts with 4 of them! Styles let you add just a bit more flair to your combat with more moves, proper dodges or even a guard button. Usually this is something you can only change at the start of a mission or at a statue, but the Switch version lets you switch styles like in DMC4 and DMCV alongside all your weapons, making it the best way to play this masterpiece. This isn't even getting into how cool the music is, the great story which excels at characterization and is surprisingly deep or the fond memories I have of beating the final mission with an S rank or beating Lady by yeeting a sword at her when she broke out of a combo on a slither of health. A true classic, easily a top tier Capcom game period, especially for the Switch due to the aforementioned switch mechanic

Believe it or not, but the Scary Movie mask is/was a cosmetic you could get.


I dunno if it's still available or not cause, live service FOMO ****.

Yeah, it's still available, and it's great.

Bruh that crap new Vergil voice is Robbie Daymond? Dude's legit good AND can sound nasally, why the **** did they give him a more generic gruff voice for direction, his Hubert voice would have been excellent

March 14 is said to be the day the Krabs Fries. It is also the day Bugs Bunny dies as Warner is removing all of Looney Tunes from Max. Those of you with Warner Bros stock should sell it quick!

Spoiler

Lara Croft also returns to Fortnite on March 14 as her 2000s era version, but that’s another story.

Legends Z-A has been given an E10+ rating.

For comparison, Legends Arceus was rated E.

Make of that what you will

I checked. Arceus was E for mild Fantasy Violence. We’re going all-out with the fantasy violence here.

I'm believing that the Switch 2 will support Switch 1 controllers (at least wireless ones). Nintendo released a Switch 1 Joy-Con charging station last year and I'm sure they want to keep the retro controllers for NSO.

Wired controllers, I'm not sure.

I may start transferring some of my pokemon to home if the game starts to degrade in quality. Though, I haven't played it for a while, I do have shinies I want to save. However, transferring shinies does require more energy compared to standard pokemon. (Shiny legendary just takes up the ENTIRE energy bar for 1 transfer.)

They wanted to make up for their blunder in Jujutsu Kaisen.

To this day, imo, their sudden absence after invading Japan is one of the worst plot holes in recent anime history.

I stopped reading JJK since some time around the Shibuya Incident and Gojo so I cannot remember any of that but getting rid of the french 'people' might make up for their crimes

I swear, it really feels like MAX removes shows from the service way faster than they add stuff.

MAX's slogan "The One to Watch," my ass

For fun, I checked the Cartoon Network section the other day to see how many shows it has.

It currently has 12, 2 of which had seasons removed.

You know it’s bad when Hulu (and by extension Disney+) has more Cartoon Network shows than the Warner Bros service.

Wait what!?! Why am I even paying for this service?

 

[Noipoi]

I mean, if they don’t have the content you want anymore, you can just stop paying for it.

 

[SneakyLink]

Wait what!?! Why am I even paying for this service?

Because it’s “The One to Watch”.

Apparently the watching part means watching the service lose a ton of content, such as a ton of Scooby-Doo stuff also getting removed Saturday (I only found out just now).

Like Noipoi said, cancel if the content you want is gone.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Man what the ****

Stitch looks fine, perfect, even! But Jumba and Pleakley getting nanotech human disguises instead of the ****ty disguises from the original is SUCH a downgrade. First Robbie Daymond Vergil, now this, what the hell man

I like the songs they've picked for needle drops so far, Limp Bizkit and Papa Roach do feel suitably Devil May Cry, I do hope they bring in some actual DMC music at some point though.

But yeah, I absolutely agree that the voice acting is distracting, only because I am expecting something to be there when it's not.

I've had more time to think about this trailer and my opinion is souring a bit.

I think it has to do with the song choices yet again, I think Nu Metal was a great choice, but the fact that they've chosen the 2 most obvious songs in the genre to advertise this show and specifically ones that have been made fun of the most in recent years makes it feel insincere. Devil May Cry is a lot of things, but insincere is not one of them, it's been a while since I played a DMC game (I beat 5 in December 2019 so I could be remembering things wrong)

Nah you're right, Itsuno gave us dumbass quipping boys who had a shocking amount of depth, with Dante having a realistic portratal of depression when you take the whole timeline into account
