I think it's an understandable reaction that in some cases may be justified.

In order for that statement to be true it has to have demonstrably less mechanics to master than something like Street Fighter and you'd be hard-pressed to demonstrate that.

Setting the whole idea of contractors aside for now since that has a heavy air of supposition (contests like this will almost certainly never be a primary source of content within a released game)...

Oh, I thought it was just called the 'blight beast'. I didn't notice the "Lu'ca" bit in the screenshot on account of the purple font. My bad then... that's pretty solid.

So if the artists aren't being abused in this relationship, why is what the company is doing wrong? In order for something to be wrong, someone or something must be wronged, so who or what is that in this case?

Alright, some more questions then...

Ehhhhhhhh, that still seems really light on reference to me and more likely just heavy on coincidence. Blizzard has little aversion to calling things '____ beast' as well. Warcraft's kodo beasts and Diablo 3's own savage beasts pop right into my head. In fact, beast is a whole family of monsters in Diablo 3 and they…

Not purely. An open-source product also guarantees the rights of modifying and redistributing the finished design.

Fine fine, I've got some questions.

Oh my gosh, he is capable of learning. A simple response is a lot harder to poke holes in than one that is all across the board.

And I wiiiind him up and watch him go. You realize that saying something in an elaborate and redundant way doesn't really change how difficult it is to prove right?

You said as much yourself:

I meant your attempt to feign politeness when really your intent is to insult. Not the simple fact that you have succumbed to rudeness like any person would.

Do eeeeeet! It might start out as a bit of a slog, but once it gets going it picks up hard.

Alright Mojo Jojo. You've adequately explained that your idea of good manners is completely insincere.

Honestly, I think you might be reaching with this one. Aside from the fact that it has blight in its name (and a lot of stuff done by Blizzard has blight in its name) and it runs away once, is there any other confirmation about this being a deliberate Suikoden II reference?

Missed the first few entries in the series? Man, Suikoden 1 and 2 are the series. 3 and 4 missed the boat entirely while 5 was like a last great attempt to return to greatness (It was a return to form in basically all aspects). Seriously, if you liked Suikoden V you owe it to yourself to give the first two a shot.…

You have no idea how hilarious that statement is. It's like... the single most convoluted way you could have said what you said. And it's about conversational ability.

Yep, might as well. I mean... you didn't actually think any of this was productive did you?

Thanks. Burniemacc above mentioned this as well.
