Jim Sterling (The Jimquisition)

Well that is genuinely concerning.

And as something who doesn’t watch Ninja wow he sounds like a fucking sore loser.

The guy who posted the story did note that his nephew had recently been removed from a household with an abusive parent and that was a factor in it, but Ninja's influence was clearly just making things worse.

And people say Youtubers don't influence kids.

People deny, make excuses, twist facts, underplay things... when push comes to shove, they'll always find a way to deny.

Almost makes me wish we go back to the primitive 90s internet

With the context of his book what he says is not that weird. He is a professional, it is kinda silly to try to claim it is "just a game", because it really isn't. And it is nice he recognize his mindset is not for everyone and that you can still enjoy the game regardless.

But it seems he is a raging asshole aside that, though. It is one thing to take things seriously, or even getting angry after a loss. It is another to throw temper tantrums and insult your opponents or whatever. It seems to me that his actions, more than the literal meaning of his words, is the real problem. And within that context that his tweet and even book seem more like a defense of poor behavior.

I'll be honest, I thought the opening of this video was another segment with one of Jim's characters at first glance.

I had a feeling he'd love Jester.

Devil May Cry 3 kicked my ass even on easiest difficulty. Cerberus was something I raged over like a 13 year old.

...I was actually 13-14 years old back then. Still, it's fun but the highest difficulty where you die in one attack is extreme for me.

I didn't have a hard time with Cerberus, Agni/Rudra, or most of the weapon-granting bosses, but all the Vergil fights owned me. Also Geryon was a huge pain.

I remember being stuck on Vergil 3 for the longest time until I discovered by pure chance that Fenrir of all things (a weapon I'd neglected thoroughly up until that point) was pretty effective against him for some reason.

You mean Beowulf, right?

Anyway one benefit to the style switching is that it's going to make blue orb fragment challenges infinitely less tedious.

Bosses were always the most infuriating part for me. Enemies were mostly no problem but whenever a boss fight occurred I'd go "oh crap". Cerberus, Agni/Rudra, that giant centipede, the giant leviathan's insides... I forgot about Vergil, it's been way too long since I played Devil May Cry 3.

I do believe if I were to try again, I'd use my brain a bit more. I was too impulsive and impatient back then.

Yeah, that's it. It's been a long time since I've played DMC 3.

I certainly struggle against the bosses & I fully played 3 a little bit before 5 came out cause I got the multi-game pack.

I’m not exactly a skilled & patient player so I always wind up taking lots of damage during these fights.

Geryon was the least fun boss for me. Not the hardest boss — Cerberus was the Wake-Up Call Boss for me — but the least fun.

I remember playing it at a friend's place and not having too much difficulty until Agni/Rudra, at which point I just got completely walled. Game has some difficulty curve issues

Cerberus was the first wall for me - because you hit him so early and without the weapons that are most effective against him (and with no DT). Agni & Rudra were easier, mainly because Cerberus himself is pretty effective against Agni - and once you have A&R, the fire element of Agni is more effective against Cerberus than Rebellion.

The main weakness of DMC3 is hands down the more platformy elements, but even they aren't that bad.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint Is Ubisoft's Low-Key Live Service Disaster

Ah still a disaster I see.

They longer they take salvaging this mess, the longer those upcoming games are gonna take to come out.

Dead Or Alive 6 Charges Players To Change Their Hair Color... And To Change It Back

Also remember when they were trying to make DOA 6 a serious fighter and dial back the "sex sells" aspect? Same story as DOA 5, same outcome.

The weird thing is that DOA seems to be the only franchise Koei Tecmo has treated like this. Nioh had great DLC, and despite the initial release, the Razor's Edge version of Ninja Gaiden was a return to form.

Consumable dyes aren't new, though this is the first time I've heard of it for a fighting game. Or being strictly a paid thing

...Also I don't think changing a character's hair colour is standard in fighting games?

But, yeah, this is blatant greed

Probably because whether rightly or wrongly, otaku have a reputation for being the kind of person stupid enough to actually shell out for these.

I dunno, lotsa people are dumb enough to shell out for the most useless of cosmetics.
