Soooooo what you’re saying is we need Sam Raimi to direct the next batch of Bond movies?

There’s no way to top what SR4 did in terms of “wacky, over the top irreverence”. The series had become a parody of itself by that point, ANY follow up game was going to seem tame in comparison.

The only difference between now and pre-2000 games is there’s a platform for people to shine a light on all the shitty behavior that goes on behind the scenes.  Gaming has always been treated as a 100% hetero boys club.  

Moon’s haunted.

Is this the guy that got caught because he forgot to sign out of his main account before replying to people about the leaks?

But in THIS context it is.  People don’t get a remake of a movie confused with a remaster of one.  They know exactly which is which.  This confusion only exists in the video game space.

They turned some of their biggest franchises into the meat of their Pachinko machines.

At this point, it’s best to just let it go. By now the two terms have become so interchangeable, it’s pointless to fight against it. Kind of like how Sandbox and Open World used to mean two different things, then Open World just became that standard term.

Gamer Entitlement at its finest.

Party on, Wong!

It’s been almost a year. That’s long past the “immediate profits” expiration date. If we were talking after 6 weeks? Ok, sure I’d agree with you. But a year is a long enough time frame to gauge whether or not your product is going to find a market. ESPECIALLY given how heavily the GTV revival was advertised ahead of…

Still makes more sense than everything after Kingdom Hearts 1.

John, we’re waiting for news on Metroid Prime 4.  Metroid 4 was Metroid Fusion.  

I misunderstand nothing. We are not discussing someone getting fired for expressing bigoted opinions on social media. The OP is mad women are free to express themselves in any conceivable way.  Freedom of expression IS a tenant of The First Amendment.  

I didn’t say every game was political. The fact you pulled Pac Man out to counter my point shows you don’t even know what political means. Games aren’t only political if they feature a non-white, non-male, and/or non-straight protagonist. They’re also political when it leans into heavy racial stereotypes or offensive…

The worst thing I can say about Nioh is that it’s a Soulslike.  This game would be immensely better if it actually let you play it like the action RPG it presents itself to be FROM THE START.  The entire first difficulty is a massive slog because of all the restrictions and how everything is dolled out so slowly and…

I don’t know if it’s the AVC commentators or just a bleed over from the internet as a whole. This is a sex positive female lead show, so naturally to the larger MCU “fanbase” they consider this is the worse thing to ever exist in the entire history of the human race. I mean, can you really say you’re surprised by the…

Exactly!  If you want video games to be taken seriously as an art form then you have to accept that modern art is usually (not always, but usually) a reflection of the current political climate.

I don’t know.  On one hand it’s Punk, and he has a natural ability to make enemies wherever he goes.  But on the other hand, another of Punk’s natural abilities is to make a work feel like a shoot.

I called this back when rumors of Punk joining AEW were starting to circulate. He creates drama wherever he goes and (according to him) it’s always someone else’s fault.
