Touche. Looks like Disney has been a lot more busy with Peter Pan than I thought. Actual question though: Does it count as a part of said franchise when someone other than Disney makes something based on Peter Pan? Or is the franchise “Disney’s Peter Pan”? Where does the movie Hook fall?

Doesn’t Franchise imply a series with multiple entries? At this point it’s a book that keeps getting adapted and used by various different people and makers. It’s only as much of a franchise as say, the Count of Monte Cristo, Robin Hood, Hamlet, or any story that was ever done by Shakespeare really.

Franchise?

Whatever works best for the character. Nintendo, just make sure that whatever it is you do is thought out carefully and works well. Giving a traditionally silent protagonist dialogue that feels like something the character would say will probably be the hardest part.

I don’t know how I feel like this. I think that PvP is superfluous to what I wanted, which was another Final Fantasy Tactics game, and yet I don’t mind it if it somehow turns out that everything that would have been in the single player game at the original kickstarter goal is there. Of course, I have no way of…

So it’s Pygmalion?

I’m pretty sure one of those gif files had a fancy looking shield in it as well, if you were one of the people who missed shields. Maybe it’s even actually useful!

I think if you have an actual drive to cause people suffering, rather than just being indifferent to it and willing to cause it for self-profit, OI think that promostes you to a full-on psychopath.

Now he’s been set free. Free to make the game that he always truly yearned to play: a text based adventure game where you just wander from room to room yelling hurtful things at random NPC’s. They all weakly try to defend themselves before breaking down into tears, which you then collect in a small magic vessel made…

He’s now free to pursue his lifelong dream of making a text-adventure game where you just get to type insults at various characters. Choose the right one, and they admit “Yeah, you’re right. I probably had that coming. You’re the coolest.”

But did you? Did you REALLY?

“And that’s when I realized that this company doesn’t appreciate me at all, or anything I stand for. I think multiplayer games should reward the time and practice you put into them, and that you should be able to call other people scum fuck bastards, and connect with your friends and have fun playing with them. And…

I mean, that would be fantastic, yes.

I mean, I can respect that. There’s plenty of reasons to like pre-ordering, and when games came in physical copies which existed in finite supplies, it even made sense to pre-order, lest you find yourself waiting a week to purchase the game while the local retailers restock their supplies. Even today in the age of…

I will grant that. As long as digital bonuses are vanity items/costumes and physical extras. Those can be really cool.

Maybe I’ve been getting things wrong, but I always thought that the argument wasn’t about the inconvenience of pre-orders or an inability to cancel them, but about people buying a product that almost no-one has seen firsthand yet, and ensuring game companies make a profit, even if the game is released before it is in…

Hmm. Fortunate then that they have at least two versions of almost every generation. It all makes sense now!

Wow. I know hindsight is 20/20, but I feel like at the point a store manager was jabbing me in the chest with his fingers, threatening to call the police for trespassing, that’s the point that I would encourage him to call them and kindly point at that what he just did could be constituted as physical assault. Which…
