I get what you’re saying, but this is more along the lines of not knowing what Survivor is/was. I also avoid reality shows like the plague, but I’m still aware of it.

I think it’s the fact that he’s a film critic that makes this astounding. I can buy that someone so far removed from all media maybe hasn’t heard of it. But if your chosen career path is to watch films, of which Tetris is one of the few games that has been around long enough and has enough cultural footprint to be…

Series X does have a limitation keeping some games from running on it: The Series S.

If you don’t want to try getting a game to run on the Series S (which is a lot weaker and has 37.5% less RAM) then you can’t make a Series X game, because MS requires they work on both.

Now SE is probably full of shit here, but that…

Then...Naruto isn’t really ending. 

And side note: who the FUCK is digging up 2006 game reviews to get angry about them!?

Says the website with a fake Japanese name.

Isn’t it sort of...i dunno, *implied* that anything from 2006 is going to be “of it’s time?” I’m not excusing the content of what’s said but like, gaming in the early 00' ain’t exactly the most inclusive hobby.

Unfortunately have to agree. 3 things really combine for me to make the initial impression poor that you mostly touch on:

The game takes place in an alternate reality 50's where the Russians became the technological leaders of the world. However, the government is still very much a Soviet one, so there’s still plenty of censorship and propaganda. I don’t know how much racism there was in Russia in the 50's but I imagine it was probably co…

It shouldn’t be surprising that game studios owned by people in totalitarian countries where speaking out against the government is a good way to get arrested ... don’t speak out against the government. It’s kind of, tautological.

There’s nothing wrong with using things like “racist imagery found in old Disney or Popeye cartoons featuring indigenous people” if it serves some artistic point about a time period; it’s only if it’s an actual endorsement, or if someone doesn’t see the controversy, where serious problems should arise.

As someone who worked as a professional translator, I agree that this is pretty much a lost cause. Things like this don’t translate well, or at all. It would be like trying to translate a crossword puzzle into another language and still expecting it to work with the original spaces provided, or even for the wordplay…

Not a chance. It’s literally a manga about decoding and solving puzzles. When the puzzles are language-based, as many of them are, they become difficult or even impossible to translate, let alone localize. I promise you, the writer (singular, not writers) is spending his time thinking up compelling puzzles as well as…

Or, they did it for just Japanese speakers to enjoy. Not everything is about trolling. 

Let’s not forget that Persona 5 also invented jazz.

My only issue I’ve really had with gameplay in this game so far, based on just viewing, is that Cal looks like he’s just floaty. Like the world exists and it doesn’t matter what terrain is being walked on, he’s just hovering over it. No weight. idk if anybody else feels that way.

After having successfully killed Super Smash Bros. its work is now finished and it can sail away from these shores, peacefully, into the west.  

funniest shit I’ve ever seen.

How DARE they take the award away from the hard working ‘Prompt Engineer’.

Do you know how many years of practice and study it took to hone the craft necessary to type in “Destiny Guardian. Silhouette. Floating over ground. Good picture for contest please”

Which Sony merger has materially hurt Xbox? None, right? Not much of what Sony has bought has been available on Xbox. The vast majority of the studios that Sony has bought were making titles exclusively for the Playstation, usually for more than a decade, so Xbox lost nothing. And the few studios that Sony did buy…
