Definitely. I’d even be willing to give credence to discussions about changing characters’ ages and outfits—where do we draw the line between localization and censorship? what about, like in Tokyo Mirage Sessions, where it does legitimately impact the storyline?—but the crowd that crops up around these issues doesn’t…

It’s like those gamers who start harassing people the instant any critique of sexualized women comes up. I remember I tweeted once that it’s really obvious that the “ethics in game journalism” crowd only really cares about digital boobs and immediately got branded pro-censorship and had people sending me anime porn…

I was literally coming to comment something along the same lines omg. So many people see creators think “hey, we’re gonna change this artwork or design since we want to make things more cohesive/have better designs/skew a little less toward sexualizing women” and start screaming about censorship.

There is something rather sad about you if you need to see pictures of half-naked women, or pg-13 levels of blood in order to enjoy a game.

“This is something to remember. The people at Gamefreak who are working on this game are spending months and years of their lives developing this new Pokemon adventure. It’s okay to be disappointed or even a bit upset about the National Dex news. But don’t attack, harass or insult the people making this game. That…

In that original shitty commenter’s post saying that each should only take five minutes, giving them the absolute benefit of the doubt would translate that to “I’m sure that Game Freak, a skilled and experienced developer, has the pipeline developed that could take a lower poly 3ds model meant only for a tiny screen…

Now if only the fans could grow and evolve.

As others have said, CDPR has been super problematic in this arena in the past. Remember that initial teaser for Cyberpunk 2077 in which a hypersexualised female-looking robot is surrounded by men, guns drawn while she’s on her knees? Additionally, nearly every woman represented in the Witcher 3 is overtly sexualised…

where something happens out of your control in the middle of a sequence.

***Now we have to hear non-animal crossing fans bellyaching about animal crossing fans bellyaching even longer

Yeah even the crowd reaction felt a little forced. They were totally trying to piggyback on the hype that comes with an MCU movie and the crows was like, “Okaaaaay...”

Easily the worst E3 in some time. I really hope Nintendo does something cool tomorrow because otherwise this whole thing was a bust. Feels like the death rattle of E3 in general. Sony was smart to recognize that this whole thing is just not worth the time and money anymore.

What she really wants is for her friends (rich people) to be able to send their children to Christian private schools and get a big tax break to do so. Let the low income areas fend for themselves.  That way we have more Christians to vote Republican and more uneducated poor people that won’t vote at all.  Win Win!

Modnation Racers was fun on PS3 and I loved the track creator it had.

You better not try to have sex with pikachu so help me god.

My god everyone around here is so negative. This is Nintendo! Yes, they’ve had failures in the past, but with the exception of the Virtual Boy, the actual hardware has always functioned very well. The Wii U wasn’t the greatest console ever, but I believe it was a necessary precursor to the Switch, and there were…

There have been a lot of positive and impactful people in gaming this year, but there is no more correct answer to the question of Gamers of the Year than this article.

But how is it cultural?  These dance moves are not ceremonial in nature, they don’t have a historical significance for any group.  If a group of people at a dance club who are not Native American start dancing like Native Americans do at a ceremony, that is cultural appropriation, if some white guy at a club does any…

that’s horrific and it hurts my heart just to read about it. I hope that woman and those poor kids get away from that guy. Nobody deserves that. Nobody.

Indeed, I wonder if it’s due to the PS1 pseudo remake/sequel Alundra being more remembered than Landstalker.
