None of which has made it out of japan legally since before and after Plus. I would LIKE Macross 2 and 7 to have a word with me, but Harmony Gold is still a dick.

Him comparing the rift to a phone is fallacy anyways, as the phone is a fully inclusive device, while the rift is literrally JUST a face strapped monitor pair.

...My RPG Backlog goes all the back to “Purchased at release” PS2 titles still. And as someone who collects physical releases “so I actually OWN something once the internet backup fail” I’m running out of space, let alone time to play.

I know Dragon Quarter was hit or miss for most people, but I loved that title. At least part of it was the genre shift from standard turn-based combat to SRPG (or in Japanese-Tactical RPG). I never did end a run perfectly enough to get Ryu down to 1/4 ranking though. The RNG in battles, and accumulating enough of the…

Sadly, tech only hits pre-historic once no-one is left alive that was there when it was released.

And THAT sounds good until you realize that a eula does not actually protect the company from its own crimial incompetence. That eula agreement preventing a class action lawsuit by users? That’s illegal you know?

Yeah, here’s an amusing fact most people don’t get. Those Eula’s? They don’t count for ANYTHING in court. There is no legal backing to them at all, and I’ve never once heard a case where the Eula was given any power as evidence in a court hearing.

A well done mystery needs to be FAIR, whether it is a difficult or easy to solve mystery matters far less than if the clues are obfuscated or not. They don’t actually need to be directly presented to the audience until the final “reveal” that most mysteries use to present the case explanations, but they do need to be…

That’s the thing, 13-year olds are not considered minors in Japan, they most certainly ARE considered minors in the US, no matter what state you go to. The issue I have, is them double dipping. they change her age to 16? Fine. but oh, now that she’s 16, she still can’t wear the skimpy bikini? I would have been happier…

theres usually reason for christian references in a western game, in a Japanese game, they are almost all there to be “cool”. However, the Xeno-verse games were actually the exception to this, as was VERY apparent in both Xenogears and Xenosaga.

Actually, it’s just the number 4 being pronounced the same as the word for “death” “Shi”, and a huge cultural avoidance of that number any way they can think to avoid it, much in the same way the number 13 is considered unlucky in western cultures, though it’s far harder to avoid 4, than 13.

One? there were several heavy censorings in the Xenosaga games, including the removal of blood entirely from one scene that makes no sense without it (though I hear the EU release had the blood at least)

Nowadays? Xenogears would never have made it across the pond.

....recent?

No, in hindsight the “why” of the boob-slider removal is perfectly obvious, and directly ties into the Lin issue, they didn’t want people to make a young appearing female lead character with minimal puchritude, who could also wear the damn bikini. Never mind they could have just changed the slider’s minimum state and…

No, no it really isn’t. If they had actually redesigned it I wouldn’t have minded one bit, because she IS 13, damnit, but what they did only made it look like she was wearing a stupidly skimpy bikini over shorts and a tubetop, which is probably the clashiest outfit she has. I put it on her, cringed, then found…

Yeah, I found one sitting on the shelf at Fry’s Electronics, and just stared at it, bewildered. Also, there was apparently really shitty packing from the manufacturers shipments , and between that and the extrodinarily shitty internal plastic tray, almost every single one I’ve seen or heard of had some form of…

Also. there’s the legal restrictions. MX biking at that level kinda requires both arms for the needed control, and while prosthetics can somewhat compensate, she’s never getting any kind of reaction speed through it ever again.

Sadly, no. CGI progress is mostly for the benefit of making the “impossible” look “plausable”, but the “possible” tends to ALSO look “implausable” when done through CGI, so a lot of the times if it CAN be done for a film live, they’ll do it for the realism still.

Yeah, there was no space for the air pressure from the explosion in the barrel to go except the weakest point of the sealed environment, which sadly, was his skull.
