Hey does Fortnite have lore and original characters? Thinking of making a thread for it

Happy Story of Seasons 30th and Rune Factory 20th anniversary, everyone! They teased 2 games in the celebration livestream. They showed off a new Story of Seasons, and a 36 second clip of RF6. Edit: the 36 second clip you can find on Gematsu's youtube channel if you search for "Rune Factory Anniversary". Should theoretically be one of the first few results. If anyone wants me to link it myself, I can.

SimCity is... kinda dead, and has been for over a decade, ever since the 2013 semi-live service multiplayer game flopped hard.

Cities Skylines came out around the same time, but was closer to a modern take on the classic SimCity formula than SimCity 2013 was... and while Cities 2 wasn't exactly a success, Paradox wasn't afraid to pull Cities 1 out of the archive and make more content for it.

(As long as you don't play Cities 1 on Switch, that is; Paradox does not have the best history of supporting their games on that console, and Cities only got a couple updates before support was dropped.)

Therefore, yes, Cities Skylines is a better fit for a Lego collab than SimCity.

So is it just me or does this just kinda look like a Yakuza game with a somewhat quirkier than usual setting? Not counting Hawaiian pirate adventures of course because that takes the cake and makes it star in a JAV video.

That actually looks like it might be pretty fun.

Also , sexy girls and a black dude with a stereotypical name like Bubba? Certain people are going to lose their shit if they haven't already.
 
Too many things are coming out in the next few months. I just added Shadows of the Road to the list of things coming out this year (November to more specific), I do not have the time for all these games.
 
Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement got pushed back to next year, so that basically puts my list of anticipated games for the rest of the year at 3, and they all come out soon. Sucker for Love: Crush Landing is out in like 4 days, Tohou 6 remake comes out September 9th, and Castlevania: Belmont's Curse is in mid October. There's a magical girl Action RPG called Kernel Hearts that's kind of caught my attention, but I'm probably gonna wait for a bit before buying that one. There's also a FPS platformer that looks similar to Ultrakill called Delta but it doesn't have a hard release date yet.
 
So I restarted Mortal Shells, where do I find the name to the knight Shell I found so I can start upgrading him?
 
Okay so I was watching old streams of Fire Emblem Three houses. Just trying to recapture that 'first playthrough' feel.

Got to the part where Rhea is cradling the Sword of the Creator and the comment shows up in the stream

"Ma'am I don't think that sword is your mother."

I laughed.

Probably harder than I should have.
 
So, can anyone tell me about the Animal Crossing games on Switch, more specifically New Horizons?

I saw it, and thought it looked interesting.

Is it a primarily single player game, etc?

If you know Animal Crossing for the GCN, Wild World (for the DS), or City Folk (for the Wii), New Horizons will feeling fairly different.

That's because it uses the 3DS's New Leaf (including the big Welcome Amiibo update) as a base, add in some mechanics from the mobile entry Pocket Camp, and then give you even more tools to customize your town island (because yeah, you're on a reasonably large island now, instead of a chunk of coast as in previous games), including landscaping tools to let you get the layout juuuust to your liking (whereas in previous games, you would have to deal with whatever design you picked... or were given, in the GCN version).

As for gameplay... yeah, it's primarily single players, but ever since Wild World the series has allowed for multiplayer, but it's mostly for hanging out, gifting items to friends, showing off you town/island; you know, that kind of stuff. All the games are kinda set up to support multiple players sharing a system and save file, but the console entries (the original N64/GCN version, City Folk, and New Horizons) are better at it, under the logic that people are less likely to have multiple consoles and copies of a console game than they are a handheld and a handheld game (or even a phone/tablet and a F2P download).
