I find people’s need to continue to support blizzard because all they’ve done in the past befuddling. It’s a ship of theseus situation, that company is gone. They only deserve what they currently sow, and people should hold them to task for their actions. 

I am depressingly ready to be disgusted for the same reasons.

I said that about, and to, Activision’s executives back in 1984, when I worked for them. Activision has always been evil.

Moxie? The only moxie is the benefit of having a Daddy who works at Goldman Sachs and was friends with the higher-ups at HBO and being a mediocre white guy.

The stuff that is more frustrating to me is the admission they didn’t understand the characters and their motivations, that seems to be like writing 101 type shit.

So 2 inexperienced guys took a sprawling source material and had to work their way through adapting it because it had never really been done before. OK, that’s not exactly surprising.

Every time I circle back to this topic I get mad at a bunch of people and things, but ultimately the final grudge rests with George RR. Martin himself. Why he caved in and handed the reins of his series to these two bumbling, nobody donkeys is a fuckin’ riddle to me. Anyone who was paying attention to this show’s…

I agree, yeah. Tsubasa deciding to do it but also change the industry could have been one thing, but the chapter ended up being more about Tsubasa and the others becoming more comfortable doing gravure shoots, not critiquing gravure as a genre or even examining body image issues.

Yeah, the original version is complete trash. The lesson that the underage girl needs to learn is that... the industry she’s interested in is perverted from top to bottom and she needs to become comfortable with doing what she’s told if she wants to be popular. Whereas the edited version is more about confidence and…

I fully realized this was a Call of Duty game when, after the mentioned London shootout, one of the main characters looked directly into the camera and said “if only our hands weren’t tied by politics, laws, or rules and could deal with these threats the way they need.”

If it’s aiming for the realism of war, the part where you abandon the rebels to be ethnically cleansed should be interesting.

How much of it was actually commentary on gravure, though? I admit I only played the Western version, but what we got seemed less like it was an adapted commentary on sexualizing idols and more the idols needing to learn to be confident in themselves.

I feel like sexing the game up kinda removes the teeth from social commentary on sexualisation anyway.

I think Ubi is coming to the realization/feeling the market’s disinterest sooner is because they’ve gone pretty all-in on the strategy. All of their big franchises have the same MTX / online service scaffolding which doesn’t really add much for the players, and then they try to drop another installment in each…

Seems like it. Ubisoft seems to take it more to heart, for a while, and more often than others. Perhaps everyone can rally together against Activision giving Sony exclusive content for games like call of duty. 

nobody in the comments can spell “Motoko”. Anyway, she’s “THE MAJOR” to you scrubs!!

From the literal FORTY SECONDS that we’ve seen, it looks fine.

You realize that Wyden is a Democrat, not a Republican, right? As are two of the three congresspeople that signed the letter? And that some of them have actually spoken up in support of Kaepernick? ...Right?

Seriously, some dude just brought up Hong Kong... like WTF bro this is not in the same league as Hong Kong and China.

No... I praise the fact the game is getting a rerelease so I can play it and don’t really care that a few costumes were changed to be slightly less revealing. Which was exactly what I wrote... This is not something to get worked up about in the slightest. But if you want to get worked up over slight changes to an…
