It’s funny because European knights were basically the same, right down to the fact that lordless knights were usually just roving bullies who would steal from and brutalize the peasantry whenever they felt like it. The ideal of chivalry, much like the bushido ideal, is one whose actual effect on the real-life…

That’s my issue. While there is some nationalistic pride Japan has surrounding the “mythology” of the samurai (a Japanese immigrant in the early 1900's wrote a goofy novel called Bushido which embelished and mysticized samurai as a concept) most of Japanese history acknowledges that samurai were pricks, and samurai…

I really like Black Lagoon but I don’t see it mentioned too often.

Psycho-pass, Darker than black, ID Invaded, Inuyashiki.

That’s a lot of words to say “we thought the logo looked cooler this way.”

This. But also, I think nowadays people have come around on DLC when it’s done right. People would rather see Bungie invest in a new expansion than try to remake Destiny every three years, just like I’d have been happy to get another Blood and Wind-style add-on for The Witcher 3 instead of waiting a Witcher 4.

So they can sell you all that juicy DLC.

Unsure how I feel about this.

I mean... They built an incredible engine. Fights and swings and advancement and all are already there. They can have spent that time enhancing and editing the existing bones rather than having to build a new one. Like... Idk GTA San Andreas? Full game but utilized the previous engine, didn't it? 

I think everybody by now knows about Shieldmaidens.

But what even are Assassin’s Creed games anymore?

It’s not a good look at gameplay, but it’s a good look at setting, tone, and art direction.  Those things aren’t nothing.  

Play the last two AC games... it’ll play like that. Saved you some wondering :P

Now make it into a VR game and we are all set...

I try to cup them and carry them outside, because they kill the creepier insects.

But . . . that’s literally the entire premise.

Wolfenstein 3D had a nuanced and fair representation of Mecha Hitler.

I shouldn’t need to, and so won’t get into just why the Nazis were so bad, but suffice to say the least we should be expecting from developers allowing us to play as them is a little introspection.

Write this article but from the perspective of how when playing as the British Empire and Commonwealth forces you’re nearly always in an entirely White army despite the Empire being predominantly made up of Asian and African peoples or how no campaign ending ever has “and by jove, who cares if Bengal starved and…

Yeah, the only one that felt anime to me was Geralt with his sword at Renfri’s throat — I can almost see the animation on that one (y’know, the bulging eye thing they often do to indicate intense emotion).
