Too bad the netcode of Jojo's R is dog crap.

 

[Alter_Fridge]

Can't Switch just have [NS] as it's code?

 

[Kiraly]

That's just dreadful. PS5 software situation remains dead in the water.

 

[Woopah]

Not particularly impressive from JoJo or TLoU, but I think that's to be expected

Big winners for me this week are Earth Defense Force, with quite good drop, and Switch hardware. The console is more than 5 years old and it just had the best Week 36 in its history.

 

[reksveks]

Big sell-in numbers.

I didn’t see an OT for this game.

I didn’t pick it up even though I am of the mind that JoJos is the best anime/manga ever created. No roll back so meh.

However, it’s on gamepass for pc so I figured I’d mess with it and uninstall it after I realize it’s crap.

Wrong!

This is the best fighting game I’ve gotten my hands on since like I don’t even know. I think games like under night in birth , Tekken 7, and SF4 are top shelf but this is incredible. Possibly my favorite tag fighter even over Marvel 2.

I wish the netcode got the roll back treatment but I don’t see Bandai giving up the bucks to retrofit it.

I highly recommend any JoJo fans or Mahvel heads pick this shit up on cheap or Xbox game pass/PC pass just to lab with .
