Nah. There is a pretty clear attempt within the new Doom to tell a story. The only questions are whether it is intended to tie to previous games and, if so, which ones.

Seriously, that was terrible. Do they not understand that anime fans are going to be one of their biggest fanbases? And thought insulting them was a good idea?

This commercial was so bad it made me cry like an anime fan on prom night.

I should have phrased it better, but if you read other comments, you’ll see that I’m largely not antagonistic (except for one sub-thread) :P.

My nephew tried this, but apparently a hero who controls butts is not within the scope of their “artistic design”.

Yeah I face palmed when I ready that. -_-

Really, ActionTrip? “Master-Chief Lookalike Marine”? Really?

People like it, so I guess yeah, you are missing something.

You know, if you really like a Nintendo-related fan project, don’t post it on Kotaku, because that’s like a hotline to Nintendo’s lawyers ready to push the shutdown button.

Listen wherever you’d like! The show doesn’t have ads right now - we just do it for the love.

If the government or an outside body were to force a localization team to remove certain elements of the game, it’s censorship. If a company decides to change some things about their own product in localization, because of how they want to present themselves in another market, because of how gamers in another market…

100% this. It’s bad communication on From Software’s part, and they should be called out for it. Same with the mysterious bannings on PC.

So, Patrick, you’ve more or less dictated how I’ll be spending my afternoon: Watching the Steam forum for Dark Souls III absolutely choke on its own froth in response to this statement from From.

That probably tastes better on toast than mine.
