By taking all the hype and hopes and dreams, and grinding them down to make a beautiful-but-deeply-flawed exploration simulator? :D

This is sad, really. Sleeping Dogs is, I think, one of the greatest games ever made. It’s nowhere near perfect, but it manages to do everything that it attempts, pretty damn well. It’s to the extent that I’ve bought the game three times, on PS3, PC, and PS4.

Tidus’s name is never uttered by voice in FF X, however it’s always officially been “TEE-dus”, as it’s taken from the Okinawan dialect for “Sun”. Similarly, “Yuna” is taken from that same dialect for “Moon”, hence why the promo art has Tidus associated with bright, sunny imagery, and Yuna’s tend to be set in nighttime…

If you can’t see the discolorations and even the scratches on the floor in the original, then you might actually need to see an optometrist. My work includes looking into details like that, and blurriness isn’t going to cause discoloration like that without either manipulation in the first place, or some really awful…

It’s a portmanteau, and not a common one, but that doesn’t dismiss it just because you don’t see it often.

Are you talking about FF Tactics? Because FF7 never had such a thing. In fact that’s why I don’t like this iso approach, it doesn’t really fit the original.

It’s how dirty and dusty it is-- Nicholas’s version looks nice, but it’s too clean. Midgar looks so impressive even today because of the minute details.

Port: Moving a game from one platform to another, often with few differences(at least, in the modern age). Examples would include FF VII (PC, PS4 $14.99 edition), Tekken 7, Shenmue II(Xbox) . An HD port is the same except the resolution is scaled to match 720p+, like the Metal Gear HD Collection.

[...]the below is how it appears in the HD remake of the game.

The attempted sugar daddy dynamic isn’t always so forward or so insidious, though. Malkeria, 23, who plays South Korea-based MMO Mabinogi, spent a few hours with a random man in-game before she began to feel like he wanted to do more than talk. A little bit into their interaction, he opened a trade window. In it,…

Right, but where was anyone calling for anime to conform to certain standards?

Where? I can think of like, exactly two moments in JJBA, running from Phantom Blood to JoJolion, where there’s any real fanservice, and both are gags— Joseph ogling Lisa Lisa in the bath(we very quickly find out she’s his mother), and Mariah teasing Avdol and Joseph decades later and nearly murdering them in every…

No, she’s (likely) vile for enabling and being complicit in his attitudes toward women, his own daughter, his ex-wives, etc.

What’s her bias? That she’s not a fan of fanservice without something more to it?

She called it “wretched”, but never actually calls for it to be banned or anything, just that she doesn’t like it. Opinions are fine to have, no?

Considering Trump has bragged about having an orgy with her and two other women, I think it’s safe to say she’s just as vile and contemptible as her husband, with the added bonus of being fine with plagiarism.

This is Cecilia’s 3rd post in a month attacking sexuality though.

Depends on your tastes, but Araki never gives you anything sexy without pointing out why that would kill you-- aside from fabulous poses, that is. Mariah only does fan service as a joke(and, you know, to distract Avdol and Joseph enough to murder them), and Jolyne isn’t fan serivce, but rather sex-positive.

They’re just trying to discuss it, as opposed to trying to tear it down. Jez would actually hate the site in question, because what little xenophobia they have is placed all into Japanese culture.

Not all harem turn out as “harem”, though, and rarer still is the series where the focus gives that sort of attention to more than one character.
