Greed got in the way. It’s really too bad, I watched the playthrough and the story is decent and gameplay isn’t bad.

Should have been a full blown character. Did no one tell Sakurai that he now has a sword?

Anything is better than playing on a GBA at launch (not shown, glare and reflections).

Remember when the FFXV English-language localization team (and/or the cast, because I would not put it past those guys) went so far off the reservation that they managed to get a Kellyanne Conway joke into the DLC? (Alternative facts, indeed.) LEAN INTO THE MEMES.

I can’t imagine them not touching the rest of Trilogy, so I am taking that rumor with grain of salt. Even so, I am still not sure if the whole Trilogy would even come to Switch.

Looking back, FFX feels like the start of the franchise’s self-serious, *I’m 14 and this is deep* aesthetic. Hopefully 16'll take more after 12.

you mean the one Iwata wrote?

The fact that they both failed to anticipate the memes and were also bothered by them seems like a real bad sign for this game. The only way this can work is if they lean into the cheese, but this makes it sound like the bullshit/buttrock scene was supposed to be 100% serious. Which, uh oh!

That’s an interesting idea - a rule where you gain one year of ineligibility for every second your speech goes over the alloted time.  People can plan accordingly.

The guy clicks on the article, comments on it, and then claims he doesn’t care about this. People are so weird. 

Yep. You get your time to get your poignant thing in, and if you can’t in the time allotted, that’s a personal problem for the winner. Cut the mics and play them out.

Cut Frank’s mic. If it’s important it’ll be in the first :30. Guy was awful. I’d also enact a rule where he cannot be nominated for another five years. He’s had his moment in the sun, and that of several others that should last him at least five years.

“They just won a very important award. And also, of course, you don’t know what they’re about to say. That’s the problem with cutting the mic or playing the play off music over them, when they may be saving the very poignant thing to say to the end, and you’ll just ruin the moment for them.”

It’s almost like Seth Rogan realized millions of people would be watching them who did not have the benefit of knowing all of the precautions that were taken to convene the event. Almost like he realized “Hey, people are using any excuse to be reckless, so let’s not give them the appearance of one.” 

Use the money to buy smaller games in which devs will actually see some of it.

Devs are not getting your money, part of the problem is pay disparity and the game success won't change that.

Much like many other issues (such as pollution), the consumer may get blamed a lot for ‘participating’, but at the end of the day they’re neither the one doing this, nor the one able to fix it. Frankly the biggest thing the public can do is bring attention to an issue, because the way issues on this scale get…

I don’t know if I agree. If the incident doesn’t hurt AB’s bottom line, why would they feel any market pressure to change? Why would other companies not look at the situation and say “well it didn’t really hurt them in the long run.” When your modus operandi is financial in nature, the only way to get through is to…

Now that millennials are beginning to enter middle age I think a lot of the current “cancel culture” debate comes down to the fact that we were all raised on South Park/Family Guy-style humor, but while most of us outgrew it, some of us never did, and are angry over the fact that their “ironically” offensive jokes…

The show didn’t get a lot of viewers on FOX, but the reruns that aired on Adult Swim were massive.  FOX saw the numbers that the show was doing there and decided to take another swing at it.
