    Also, the game came out I think!

    Unfortunately from the reviews I'm seeing, it's a case of a studio that had never had a major console release before really showing that inexperience. Think the Polygon one started along the lines of "This would be a perfect imagining of the show if it weren't completely broken."

    Fortunately that means they can be fixed, but since its such a small studio, I'm not sure they'll bother

    Save the Light is out on PS4.

    It is so good.

    The worst part is picking which three characters to bring with Steven,

    In case it wasn't clear by the text, yes those episodes are app-only on Nov 10

    Wait what. That seems...not good for the show overall.

    Weird to see a show that packs a ton at comic con get pushed to the side like this

    God that is such an outmoded marketing strategy.

    Sure, you want to target kids because that is the demographic you are shooting for, but any eyeballs that watch your show is a good thing. Also... guess what? Older people tend to have their own money which isnt gated behind a parent to spend on toys. shocker right?

    They can do the rest of the series on the app for all I care. Just let us FINISH the series at least. Release everything on iTunes. Do something to let us watch them already.

    but like... why not just air the show on the channel that you own, instead of a teen titans go rerun that's already aired 10+ times in the past week?

    that way lies madness, what if somebody wanted to watch teen titans go and they turned on the teen titans go channel and it wasn't playing teen titans go?!

    Maybe kids just stream everything these days. Most channels barely have any consistent scheduling and rarely rerun new episodes. It's been hell trying to DVR animated shows. Star Wars Rebels has had new eps this season mislabeled as repeats and I missed a crap load of Tales of TMNT because checking on wikipedia they apparently aired those on the fucking Nicktoons channel. Which isn't HD on my cable package. Relying just on TV broadcasts makes you miss a lot of stuff so you have to either go to their apps or your cable provider's on demand services.

    After what they did to Regular Show and Adventure Time, I'm not really surprised by this. Eventually you start to notice when they don't care that much about a show anymore, regardless of how close the end is. For RS it was a year away, for AT it was years, but both times you just all of a sudden saw a big drop in airtime on the show. From entire marathons one month to going weeks or even months without even a rerun.

    There was a big TTG schedule image I posted in the previous thread (I believe from July), and on the side it said SU hadn't been seen in well over a month at that point. Would have been absolutely unheard of a year ago

    It could just be a limited time thing to try to bump up app usage. I would assume at some point they'll air with an event promoting them - but obviously I could be wrong. It was rather nice over Halloween to see them re-running Regular Show again even if it was temporary.

  • see317see317 Registered User regular
    It might also be related to the CBS app getting a huge spike in users when Discovery started airing their exclusively.
    All the other channels with their own streaming apps trying to follow suit, boost their numbers by making their content only available there.

    I legit think this is actually the case.

  • ViskodViskod Registered User regular
    They are airing these episodes throughout December.

    They’re just going up early on the app because they know Steven Universe episodes will get devoured as soon as they’re offered.

    It will get the app a lot of downloads.

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    Aw, man.

    This sucks because I watch new episodes with my brother, we have no device that can get the app and is also big enough for us to both enjoy the episode, and I also like having discussions about episodes when they're current.

    I don't suppose this app can be found on the PC, Wii U or PS4, or that they'll also be putting this on a website?

    I mean, you just gotta wait a month for them to air on cable & then online storefronts. It sucks, but it is what it is.

    If anyone else is playing Save the Light the only area I haven’t gotten 100% complete is one section of the forest with a chest high up on a ledge on the right side of the zone with no perceivable way to reach it.

    I’ve scoured every other zone of the forest and couldn’t find any other alternate paths to it or anything. It’s driving me nuts.

    In other gay cartoon news the latest episode of OK KO was about two girls with great abs going on a date:

    I don't know like Adventure time and Steven clicked immediately but something about KO just feels off to me.

    Well I like it, although it is super different in tone and content from either of those two shows so it's not surprising you could like SU and Adventure Time and not like it, despite a bunch of the staff having worked on aforementioned shows. Like, they're incomparable. Steven Universe is by far the most ambitious cartoon I've seen since... ever.

    The main stuff that OK KO takes from Steven Universe is overall competency in the animation medium and its relatively nice (both in the sense of being good comedy and being kind-natured towards the characters) humor. But, like, that's about all they have in common.

    The two things that initially drew me to it were the comedy and the gorgeous animation. The stills might not always look good while static, but man the animation is fluid and creative all the time. Oh and it's also riffing on like stereotypical action cartoons which I still have fond memories growing up with.

    Grumpy face games said they're aware of the issues and will be pushing out a patch, which will also address stuff like Smoky Quartz being referred to as 'she/'her rather than 'they/them'

    I caught up on OK KO and A) That Red Action episode was super duper gay like whoa. B) This show really like putting the Cool S™ everywhere.

    That's heartening. I blitzed through most of the game this weekend, and it IS fun, but I've definitely had issues. From debilitating (I think I'm up to four soft-locks in battle) to more annoying (I died on the first boss, and when I continued and got back in the room, the engine sound it makes was still present...and then persisted in EVERY area until I closed the game)

    Three of the four trophies relating to the final boss and the various endings are broken as well.

    How cabley does your cable sub have to be? I technically have a TV sub from Cox that consists entirely of local channels and free HBO.

    Pretty sure you need to have the channel.
