Yeah, that could have been a great dismantling of the “rebel princess” cliche which I’ve seen done fantastically in games like Tactics Ogre. Instead, we just get someone who basically starts the game as a privileged idiot and ends the game as a privileged idiot. I think a lot of it is that the creative team (guys like …

She also could have been interesting as a deconstruction of the “rebel leader”, like she thinks she’s some serious leader but is really just a privileged and naive idiot who doesn’t understand the seriousness of what she’s gotten involved in. Like a suburban kid trying to hijack a sub-culture.

Looking back at RE6, it’s not a terrible game, but it is MASSIVELY flawed. A lot of it I think has to do with its ambitions. It was trying to do THREE full-length campaigns (along with a secret fourth one), all with their own story that intersected with the others, each also had different rhythms and design…

Yeah, that’s also part of the reason Takahashi left Square because he felt the company was investing too much in FF (and he was right). He wouldn’t be the last departure either as Square has bled SO much talent over the past twenty years that it’s embarrassing, especially when so many of the guys still there have…

Except all of that basically goes to the wayside after the escape from the prison. Her dad is never really brought up again, and she really turns into an object between Seifer and Squall. That’s fucking creepy and gross.

The thing that REALLY bothers me about that whole pairing is that Rinoa has no agency or story of her own. Seriously, what is Rinoa’s arc? What is her story outside of Squall? There’s really nothing, she basically exists only to be his girlfriend, a prize for him to win,

Same; they made ZERO splash.

I’m all for 4chan being offed because of Pikachu

ever since I discovered McMansion Hell and learned to analyze McMansions I can’t unsee them wherever I look. They are a scourge to the housing market

That is one butt ugly McMansion

Google isn’t going to hire you

You can tell this was designed exclusively by upscale white guys who don’t get that the US doesn’t have as good of internet as other countries and has a serious problem with ISPs being crooked bastards

I give it two, three years after operating exclusively in the red before Google pulls the plug.

He’s hoping if he keeps white knighting for the pile of puke that he’ll get hired

The poor CEO who also lost a sexual harassment suit (mostly due to admitting he wanted to ruin his accuser), then tried to stiff his lawyers on payment (he lost that too), and of course trying to kick his father’s widow out of her apartment because he wanted to sell it.

money he will never spend and never enjoy because it’s the only indicator of his status. No one will ever remember him when he’s gone, unlike Shigeru Miyamoto, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Masahiro Sakurai, Will Wright, Sid Meier, or countless others. he’s just a pathetic leech on the industry

And coming from a blob of mayonnaise who lost a sexual harassment suit and tried to kick his father’s widow out of her apartment just so he could sell it. 

Superman Returns never happened. There’s NO WAY someone would be dumb enough to have Bryan Singer direct and Kevin Spacey star in it.

Funnily enough, another FFVII voice that’s a dramatic actor: Red XIII’s actor Masachika Ichimura.

We’ve been here before with streaming services for games, the infrastructure is just not there and the audience is nebulous at best
