I don’t think this is scummy at all. It’s a limited release product to celebrate the anniversary of their game. This is the kind of stuff I’d do with MY game, and it’s not because I want to make extra money or anything - it’s just nice to put something out for a limited time as an event, and then end it. I dunno,…

Too bad they’re licking China’s boots. Plenty of other games with cute women in them.

I’ve never been to E3, but I’ve always wanted to go to one as a developer, and I’m always super excited for E3 as a gamer. I really hope it comes back in full force next year, and continues on for many more. There’s no event like it for games.

I’m sure you are, though! =D

Hell, I think even cryonics is worth it, now. The main problem with freezing brains is that the damage caused to them destroys “resolution,” but with AI already capable of upscaling, repairing, and even extrapolating images...

“This was supposed to be Japan’s year. The Olympics were to be held in Tokyo, and the whole world was going to turn its eyes to Japan. Things didn’t work out that way.”

With the way medical science and AI are advancing, that someone might be *you!*

I honestly couldn’t tell you. I’m only really familiar with French, Japanese, and American animation trends. This doesn’t look like it came from any of those countries. “France” is the closest guess I’d have out of the three, but I doubt that’s correct. The colors feel French, but nothing else does.

“Autoshading” and....janky Flash animation? Wtf are you talking about? Anime is still all done by hand, frame by frame, except in very rare cases, lol

Plenty of great looking modern stuff, though. These images are a *very* broad generalization. Especially recently, it feels like art styles in anime have been opening up a lot.

There are plenty of amazing looking shows still around...and plenty of stuff in the 80s/90s looked like trash, too. Take off your nostalgia goggles. I think your memory is selective here.

You either haven’t watched any real anime, or you have extremely shitty taste. Saying “thinking about what it would mean to be a connoisseur of this medium...kinda makes my stomach flip” sounds as ridiculous as saying the same thing about American movies. Anime and manga are *ridiculously* diverse, and there are…

This is because you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about, lmao. I can easily tell when a cartoon comes from America vs. say....France or Japan. Look up “Cal-arts” style to see how ridiculous your “lol all jp animation looks the same” crap sounds. America has its own trends and giveaways. You’re just blind or…

That’s the point. People *are* silly. Stuff like this is what makes animation great.

Blizzard’s trash and these two assholes are trash. Another shitty non-apology basically amounting to “we wish things were done differently because we got in trouble. It would’ve been really great if our higher ups were more sneaky about what pieces of shit we all are so that everyone wouldn’t hate us. We’re learning…

Yes, so many people are complete trash. I keep on thinking I’ll never be surprised by this again, but then I always am all over again. ):

Ah yes, they’ve finally added the three races: white, black, and Chinese. ; )

“We’ve seen [games] that delete their own executable,” said Amanda’s partner Matt Hudgins, “but I think you’ll be surprised to find out how far we’re willing to go.”

lol

The only thing “not great” here is your taste. :p
