Multiple things can intersect and be true at once if you consider the history at play here.

the trailer mentions off and online multiplayer.

I need to know this as well. I’ve tried finding ways to play Galactic Conquest online and it’s basically impossible. Every time one of my buddies visits though we play split screen, and it’s SO GOOD.

For the record I don’t really see any actual fans of the original work complaining about it. The complaining is coming almost entirely from the brigade of “anti-woke” comic books gatekeepers that always complain when anything in pop culture isn’t squarely aimed at white men.

Okay but no one likes a tattle tale. Hasn’t a 1st grader ever told you that.

You didn’t need cable to watch it. AOTS and Xplay aired live on YouTube and Twitch, then would air a day later on cable. I think people thinking this was cable only was part of the problem.

“Why isn’t anybody talking about other female streamers...” they’ll ask in their weekly Amouranth article without a hint of irony.

Wsh I could give you more stars. Levi really just followed a Twitter thread on this one and found the people getting the most engagement and quoted them. Absolutely bare minimum work possible on this one. Because as always, negativity fuels engagement.

You quote LowTierGod, a troll of middling skill who habitually ragequits, is hated by the community, pees in jugs, and who was caught by one of the FGC subreddits laughing at animal torture videos.

One of the scrubbiest players around and an all around awful person, and you quote him.

Oh shit, it’s a modern day Dragon Quest - becomes - Dragon Warrior in the west for no reason - becomes - Dragon Quest again situation.

“Ya’ll are sick-nasty FREAKS, stop being attracted to characters in a video game that is played by children as well as adults!”

Seriously! Why is it the dumbest motherfuckers that have guns?  

Ban him just for the lack of trigger discipline. JFC.

Well 2B wears a dress and Bayonetta a body suit. Quiet just wears a plain bikini and thong with a long, flat butt. She should have worn pants. The whole thing got awkward.

As someone ND and with an uncanny interest in sexology, it’s hard for me to NOT see blatant fetishistic portrayals by the director/developer, so I agree with you that the various things that happen to Quiet, along with her design are very much wank material. It’s pretty common in anime/manga/games, but it’s prevalent…

That’s what all conventions eventually turn into.  Giant dealer halls full of new, rare or exclusive products with a few panels and other activities on the side.  

Indeed. Back in my day we were at least watching and buying bootleg translated anime that you couldn’t get in the US at the time. You’d learn about new anime you might not have heard of and meet people you absolutely couldn’t at the time.

It’s a key sign that 343 is listening to its player base, internalizing the feedback, and actually making crucial changes.

How ‘bout that co-op campaign?

I’ve been working remotely for 2 years straight now (same company) and am just starting to look around a little bit at other jobs. Had an excellent interview yesterday, but that Tuesday-Thursday in office requirement in El Segundo when I live in North Hollywood will probably be a deal-breaker. I just can’t go back to…
