The fact that she refuses to back down casts her in an insanely negative light right now.

The important thing that Watergate ended was not “the Nixon presidency” it was “the myth that the president was a great, honest, and moral leader”

It’s more of a stretch to say that the company whose staff all wore rainbow ribbon pins at E3 decided to intentionally make two triggering lines in a random game, aimed toward one specific person who has zero to do with them, versus an awful word pun they’ve made before mixed with several lines referencing a VERY…

No, because “-gate” has been synonymous with— and has been a meme of sorts— for nearly half a century now. The history of “Gamergate” is severely insignificant compared to the ripples of Richard Nixon’s corruption going on to this day.

It was definitely deliberate, also helped with making the game load in chunks— the visual effect when your katamari “level up” is actually the game loading the larger worldview. All of the items you pick up are kept in memory, and scaled down. It’s deceptively simple, because it’s actually quite demanding if you don’t…

While Capcom did royally fuck up the Mega Man series, Inafune was also directly responsible for choking off some game series and ranting about how Japanese developers were inferior, while pushing for more outside western dev teams who, while very talented aesthetically, had very little grasp on deep gameplay.

Yeah, but the one thing they’re not keen on is letting anyone else run their name into the ground but them.

Prices would be astronomical if they tried this though; see also the Panasonic 3DO. The point of consoles is that they’re sold roughly around cost, and software makes up for the difference.

No Man’s Edge of Scrolls: The Space Marine Saga

Saints Row 3, which is a lot better than I recall. Might be because I just replayed SR IV, which is wonderful but also(intentionally) really impersonal. It makes SR III feel a lot more alive!

By that same token, Nintendo’s continued push towards gimmicky control schemes has alienated both core customers, and third party developers alike, leaving Nintendo to fend for itself in an industry far less reliant on their influence than 20 years ago.

It’s a great game, but has a VERY slow beginning(like, close to two hours before your first battle), and it’s very easy to get stuck or lost at times because you’re often looking for pieces to maps that allow you to open new areas.

So basically, you don’t want RPGs, you want fast-paced hack-and-slash titles like Dynasty Warriors.

I’ve been trying for a few years now to both fit inside of a backpack and passively bug my bosses at my volunteer work to get me a pass to E3, but it seems I accidentally swapped the sugar with roach powder.

Yes, because no story should ever be written without a bunch of people saying what should be in it. I get your point, but it’s also important to let stories be told, and— moreso— that when it comes to diversity, that shoehorning not be done.

Uhh, Nintendo makes new IPs quite often. They just also make a lot of series entries, which can overshadow.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Remember that this is in response to a question posed, and that the answer has more layers than you’d think. Nintendo has more than a few female protagonists, and their previous large-scale RPG, Xenoblade X, featured a primarily-female main cast, and even a varied storyline if you made your player char female(also,…

The key is that most “Explore a land with dinosaur” games are broken, most “Climb a cliff and sneak around” games are just holding down a button and hitting a few other prompts, and the vast majority of sandbox RPGs are mostly about pretending a spell is not a gun. Zelda’s had dynamic combat for a long time now, so it…

I don’t think it’s nearly as misogynistic as the loud fringe wants you to think it is. It’s just that the loud fringe is very much that— loud and extremist.
