Or possibly the sound the executives made when they realised how much money they wasted making it.

Look, I’m a designer - I’ve been building levels and encounters in games for 20 years - and on this topic of outrage I know three things are absolutely certain:

1. The VAST majority of people complaining about yellow paint are fragile males who crumple at the thought that a designer put that paint there specifically for…

I was trying to have a discussion about the challenges of moderation at scale. Everyone is jumping on my ignorance instead, ignoring the point I was actually trying to make. (Y’all are explaining it quite well, fwiw. I am up to date now, thank you.)

*sigh*

Its not a remaster. Its the original game emulated.

I used to work in compliance testing and like others have said, you’d be surprised how often companies fail them. It’s not necessarily indicative of the game’s quality one way or another, compliance is mostly things like “You have to have loading screen tips if the loading screen lasts longer than X seconds”.

FYI the free trial doesn’t have a 30-day time limit, it’s unrestricted in that regard

Oooh and if you hadn’t thought it would be more fun to be condescending you might have had some basic literacy to catch on that I was agreeing with you implicitly by wanting the game I described . Instead, go fuck yourself dipshit.

Yoko Taro has helmed three different mobile gacha games already, fwiw. SinoAlice, NieR Reincarnation, and 404 Game Re:Set.

I got curious and hit some Wiki’s. I think it comes down to ambiguous terminology. FF7 refers to any of a number of people who got Jenova cells and a Mako wash as Sephiroth clones. In the game, these were the numerous individuals who wandered around in cloaks who you’d run into or hear stories about. That did happen…

You know what? The grossest thing here is how you wrote an article going on a tirade about how AI is bad and how if this is what fans want we “deserve” what we get.

Someone decides to write a well articulated thought out response to the very points you made in the article you wrote and posted.

This was worth all the stars. 

Seems par for the course on Kotaku 

I imagine that MS and AB have British divisions. They probably can’t merge their local entities without local approval.

No. They’re afraid of getting the POC characters “wrong” according to Kotaku, Polygon or Vice and end up being raked across the coals by all game journalist for it. 

Yes and no; for consoles the disc is also effectively a license token.  If you have the disc, you can play the game.  At least, unless things have changed, that’s basically how it used to be.

Honorable lesbians abound in film and TV because female sexuality is barely regarded as real, is easily fetishized by straight men, and never taken seriously as a threat to the status quo.

Ahhhh that good old American spirit. Unable to understand anything that doesn’t directly pertain to them, with a big dash of disrespect. Sounds about right.

Scot here just popping in to say that Scots are technically British, as are the Welsh and Northern Irish. It is not synonymous with English.

I cannot agree more. I wish they’d treat Final Fantasy as well as their other titles!
