I’d be curious to know what the perception is around these things on cultures, like in Japan and other asian countries, that do not have the same background regarding aliens and little green man type stuff.

eh... would still play

I don’t think this needs to be said, but then again, I guess lots of people don’t understand the difference.

It’s interesting to keep watching these folks still stumble and trip over corporate messaging when it should’ve been super simple. Cases like these ends up being prime examples on why gaming companies are severely lacking media training.

Yeah, I watched this on the weekend... japanese creatives are masters of conveying a feeling of nostalgia even for things you shouldn’t be nostalgic for, let alone a classic game remake that has tons of fans, specially japanese fans, and almost every gamer at least heard about. xD

It was an apology for creating the situation, but ultimately it didn’t address anything.

The Golden Unicorn Gundam model was made in the factory next door, regular shift, by the same people who were arrested. #hawkward

As he should. I bet some kids think Miyamoto is Japan’s emperor or president or something. xD

But can I get it in...

I gotta say I agree with this, even though I’m not as angry. It’s almost sadly funny in a way. Nintendo should adopt the tagline.

I’ve been in Gion early last year... it was bound to happen. I’ve also been in Kyoto some 12 years ago during the same period of the year... between then and last year, the number of tourists went up some 10 fold or more. At some specific places during specific times of the year, I wouldn’t be surprised if tourism had…

You could step on it, but then it’ll hurtmore and then disappear

Pretty much what I’ve been doing since the RELEASE of Fallout 76... no real intention of ever playing it.

Yep, I also dunno how these things would work in japanese copyright law. Problem is, even if artists copied his entire routine specifically, and even if the routine could be copyrighted, the question is if he would have been able to copyright it at all... given that he’s likely, at least partially using moves taken…

Man, I still don’t mind having donated some of my old NES games including the Zelda 1 and 2 golden cartridge... but I do regret that the maps went with them.

Let me just add a little bit of context for those who don’t know about kpop and jpop dance routines...

Without knowledge of dance routines of jpop, kpop, idol groups and general dance referenced in anime and made by anime fans, I’d say it’s a straight rip off.

I don’t particularly like the art, but if I’m really honest about it, the thing I care about GitS is mainly story.

I’ll be honest with you, I don’t care enough to re-type everything I already wrote for the other commenter I’m discussing things with, but I addressed most of the points you put up in this comment there. It’s past bedtime where I live, and I’m exhausted of talking about this, so I’ll just leave this here. I do get…

Can it ever be good enough though?
