User Warned: Modwhining and Cross Thread Drama
Just got caught up with the MC drama. All I'm going to say is that the wrong people got banned. One or two got too personal, but the rest are just wrong.

Hope Chris comes back.

Anyways, let's see if the Direct is announced on a day that ends in Y ( in the English Language) this week.

If there is a Nintendo Direct this week, I will say (however it may hurt my heart) that SF Adventures, Sunshine and Twilight Princess are bad games.

I've never been in the MC threads unless when posts from there are linked here but now I checked it to see what everyone is talking about here...

And I don't think I will check another one again.

Regarding the problem of insulation/exclusivity in MC threads, I think sharing public reports about the (console) game industry in JP (if available), pinning data sources and thread-marking insightful posts in OP are possible solutions.

I had some experience in equity research and the biggest problem to me is always initiating my coverage on a new region/sector I have not before. This barrier certainly stopped me a few time from posting in MC threads though I have been lurking there for at least 6 years (yes, the old place included) and have been aware of GDL/MC/Famitsu and statistics from retail chains as data sources. The problem will accumulate over time when regular members keep track with the industry development, along with which the expectation on level of insight/knowledge of new members rise over time.

Anybody know when Metroid Dread previews are coming out? Usually it's 2-3 weeks before reviews come out.

I'd like to say that I am happy that this thread has been trying to actively work on being more hospitable and welcoming to newcomers for the last few weeks since we got called out towards the end of the last OT. I think the vibes are mostly better in here and that's a win for everyone, all the OT veterans included. I hope other posters feel we're moving in the right direction too.

I still have like 5 or so big JRPGs in my backlog, so naturally I decided to do the sensitive thing and start the first SMT in anticipation of V's release. Progress!

Anyway, this Wednesday for sure.

Wholeheartedly agree, and I think hologram has done a bang-up job as far as keeping things civil/uncontroversial goes.

Agreed. There was a distinct shift sometime around the mid teens OTs that really set a pattern of unjustifiable hostility; that's changed in this particular thread.

But I'm trying to find a recap of what happened this weekend; who was banned and why?

So basically certain things need to be announced before TGS and a Nintendo Direct is the most feasible way to do that, hence it makes sense to have one shortly before TGS(roughly a week or so) and this has been the case for all prior years, so logically it would continue into this year, hence a direct this week is likely?

Hey >:(

StarFox Adventures was my first Zelda game and had everything I wanted in a Zelda game. Dope music, voice acting, racing minigames, DINOSAURS. Twilight Princess was my first name brand Zelda game, and while a poor choice to get into the series I was in high school and easily influenced and told often that Wind Waker was the worst way to get into the series, and I still enjoyed TP, flaws and all.

Sunshine is a MASTAHPEECE

That's pretty much it, yeah. We know games such as Triangle Strategy and a new Atelier (?) are going to show up at TGS, so people are banking on them appearing on a Nintendo presentation of some sort beforehand.

So am I to understand that TGS isn't really where things are typically revealed, just shown off in more detail? So a new Atelier would have to be revealed beforehand for it to show up at TGS?

Random thing, while playing NMH 3 yesterday, i noticed that my hands are getting more and more hairy on the back.

Nature, whaddayoudoing? At least they're not relocating from the head to the hands.

I think it's officially listed by SQEX on their scheduled lists of TGS games.

Some people (+OP for one day) who usually post in the Media Create Threads. They have a history of being hostile to members who aren't that versed in sales numbers or have different opinion about it than the majority in the thread.
For me personally it always seemed harmless trolling, but I understand that this behavior is not welcome on this site, because it makes a thread really unwelcome.

I'm torn on Project Triangle Strategy's name. On one hand, the current one is stupid and also noted a "project name", yet there's always a fear of SQEX coming with an even more stupid sounding name.

Absolutely agree.

It's in the MC thread. You can check the last, like, five pages-ish of it if you want, but tbh you'll probably have a nicer day without a recap.

And that's good enough of a recap for me.

We really need to remember that this place isn't real life. Taking a break is a good thing.

I mean to be fair, Project Octopath Traveler eventually just became Octopath Traveler, so there is precedent for them not giving a shit name wise lol

One could argue that dropping the "Project" from the title made it sound worse, because prior you could always say "It's a project name, they always sound stupid!". ^^

"Triangle Strategy" might really just end up being the final name tbh. It's not the best but it's also not the worst so go ahead, I guess?

We never got any info on the new stages and character(s) in DLC 2, did we? (Unless I'm just missing all the info rn) They'd have to communicate that to us some time before November. 😏

Thursday would not be a good Direct day for me because it would presumably be 11pm BST and I'm out early and doing a lot of teaching this Friday. Please take my specific schedule into account, enormous corporation.

I think this is pretty much all we know about DLC2 so far and the reason why I haven't bought it. DLC1 looked fine but not compelling enough for me to go back to the game.

Tbh I enjoyed the game a lot, but at the same time I felt like I was done with it before DLC was announced. It's probably the musou game I have spent far the most time on, without the DLC. I don't think I'll be redownloading it for the second DLC unless there is a humongous bunny they are about to draw out of the hat, and I would be surprised if there was.

I've been reading MC threads for years and never felt they were unwelcoming. 90% of the time that someone receives an agressive response it's for straight-up trolling or posting hot takes.
