If everything goes right i Will buy Metroid samus returns plus half life opposing force and blue shifth

A Pokefusion challenge was trending on Twitter. I tried it. Everyone else was getting combinations that were either amazing, or entertaining. I got a disappointment:

Just fuse Mr. Mime with anything and you get some good ones.

@Terton  
Well, the challenge is to visit the page and post the random result you get.

Iceborne beta has ended for now, it was pretty fun. It’s returning next weekend, so looking forward to that.  
Still can’t quite nail the timing for Longsword’s Iai Spirit Slash though. Valor Style Guard Point it is not.

Anyone here plays ESO?

Well, that’s how we lose them.

Just got off of PoE, got through all the Act 2 tier 1 bounties, a few of the side-quests/tasks of Act 2, progressed the main game enough to finish one of the quests for later, and completed the monk’s quest. I think I’ve made some great progress today.

I doubt that Stadia will do well unless ISPs are willing to raise their data caps far above 1 TB a month.

@Lord Goku  
I seriously doubt it will be successful at all.  
Just look at all the things Google has killed

Stadia will most likely die unless they get a fair number of absolute killer apps.
 
And the only game of note they have so far is Baldur’s Gate 3, also available on PC.
 
So yeah, they’ll likely snuff it out a few years after launch, like the vast majority of Google products.

@The Smiling Pony  
Don’t forget that you have to pay both a monthly fee to use it on top of paying full price for individual games. And seeing how expensive full price games are in countries besides the US….

The video is more so AAA industries reaching for subscription-base systems, like Ubisoft (if I’m remembering right) announcing one with the Stadia at E3 and Microsoft focusing on their next system to have one, and how it can go down hill with the industry’s history of delisted games and how you can easily lose a game you “bought” for no fault of your own.

I got an Oddrina. Oddish + Nidorina.
 

The Switch port for The Witcher 3 will include all of its content on the cart. As in, CD Projekt Red have shelled out for 32-gig cartridges for this game so that everything will be on the cartridge, and no external downloads are required.
 
I was planning on picking up The Witcher 3 on Switch anyway, but now I hope this port is crazy successful and sends a message to all other publishers releasing games on Switch. Including all the content on the cartridge is something that should’ve been required for all Switch games from Day 1, no exceptions, and it’s a standard that needs to be set in stone right now.
 
No more physical/digital hybrid releases (the Mega Man Legacy Collections, Resident Evil Revelations 1 & 2, Final Fantasy X/X-2) or games that require an external download to play because the publisher is too cheap for 32-gig cartridges (Doom 2016 and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus). Hopefully The Witcher 3 on Switch will do well enough to kill off both of those types of releases for good.

I would bring up sword and shield and the recent dexit debacle, but that still has about 4 months left to cook and only really seen one area thus far. Would be cruel, however, if NS Witcher 3 would release in the same month though.

@Vortaxonus  
I think it would be fair, seeing as how they’re very different games.

@Vortaxonus  
The “Dexit” debacle with Pokemon Sword and Shield is, I think, a different situation. That’s an entirely new game being made that excludes a decent chunk of content from its predecessors.
 
I’m referring to stuff like the Mega Man Legacy Collection (a so-called compilation release of previous games that only includes half the release on the cartridge and requires a download for the other half) or Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (the game is so big and the cartridge space is so little that an external download is required).

@Background Pony #4FAA  
Very true.

@ExtreVile  
What the hell is “disapoited?”
