And that’s exactly it. Your friends want to help you, and they’ll be willing to give you stuff that you probably aren’t ready for it.  That’s a better feeling than cheating.

I remember being addicted to teh original GCN game. Every day I’d go in and play a little bit, and I couldn’t wait to go back to my town and play so more.

Then I started time traveling to get the things I wanted faster--and then I stopped caring.  The problem with cheating is that it completely ruins the point of AC.…

Nomura absolutely came on at the right time; his designs were perfect for a generation of kids that were just getting into Anime?

Now?  It comes off as tryhard and uninspired.  You’ve seen this shit time and time again and it’s old.  It doesn’t have to be Yokotaro, but it needs to be someone with a confident vision to…

Happy go lucky? XIII is pretty much 30 hours of its characters bemoaning their fates.  XV is anime-edgelord supreme.  The difference is that Yokotaro could actually make that drama mean something.

They’ll never do it, but they really do need to let Yokotaro make his own Final Fantasy game. Nier Automata surprised the shit out of me over how much it pushed the boundaries of JRPG storytelling I like me some classical RPGing (see Dragon Quest XI), but I’m getting tired of watching the same anime tropes play out…

You play as the child of a CEO who for all intents and purposes is useless but gets a job at their parent’s firm anyway because capitalism.

Goddamn that quick dodge is a lifesaver.  I’m trying to play through RE2 now, and I do find it frustrating that there isn’t just a way for me to dodge.

Right. It’s about using transgressive humor to point out problems in our society. That’s the thing that people don’t understand about stuff like South Park: It’s pushing things to their logical extremes in an effort to highlight the utter absurdity of everyday life. There’s a point being made.

Unfortunately people are…

But the Satire in “A Modest Proposal” is that Swift is taking on the voice of capitalists and using a calm tone to describe something terrible as “eating babies” as a sensible idea. Basically there was a lot more thought to it than simply *say something abrasive here*, lol.

The problem: Most people don’t understand what satire is. Or rather, the people who are apparently making satire don’t actually know what satire is.

But I don’t think it’s as simple as that. Never mind that most of the money a game makes never makes it out of the pockets of execs, you also have plenty of contract workers who deal with the crunch and then get laid off anyways.

Right. I think we’re so far away from 10 or 20 years ago where realistic graphics were the way to go. Where games had to keep upping the ante on the graphics.

I’m sure his argument is mostly “But they didn’t say no!”

...wow.

Martin Luther King Jr. himself said that black people’s greatest enemy wasn’t the racists or the conservatives—it was the moderates. The people who sympathize with the cause, but refuse to do any heavy lifting themselves, or refuse to sacrifice any of their privilege.

sigh.

And you’re right!  But that’s the fun thing about capitalism: It’s all short-term gain. Make as much money as possible before everything goes to shit. Then you’ll have to find a new way to exploit people.

It’s all part of the plan. If you don’t think Ubisoft knew exactly what they’re doing, then it’s being naieve.

I imagine that’s exactly the reason why they do this.  The “house-style” probably makes it easier to launch several games at once.

Umm no.
