It’s a semantics-focused argument, not one based on design philosophy. The theme of the game is wrestling, not JRPG genre itself (it doesn’t necessarily provide direct commentary on the gameplay genre or even meta-commentary). The JRPG design scheme is how it chose to tell that theme.

For me it’s the other way around: it explores *wrestling* through an RPG lens. Fits with it being a game and all.

“Episodes” are a mistake.

I never liked the “playing victim” crap that everyone else says (including other Black folk and fellow Canadians). Doesn't matter if anyone thinks that's a valid argument - it doesn't change the possibility of someone else being an asshole in an incident.

The solution is to build mini-adventures that run concurrently with the game, i.e. mid-game mega side quests as DLC.

I stopped playing when they took away the battle royale in S2 — after I realized that my battle pass progress wasn’t working at all. Why play a buggy, never-finished game that gets parts of it REMOVED every now and then?

Yeah, but I don’t want to buy Year 7 seasons if they have nothing to do with The Final Shape — which they won’t, bc TFS wraps up all major arcs leading up to it.

FF6 is often cited as the favorite of classic FF games and has a few of the most iconic (overused word) scenes ever.

FF8's story beats were quite possibly better (more impactful and epic) than 7's. Plot details and narrative structure, really, not necessarily characterization or considering the specific events in a vacuum.

I don’t think it does sand or some of the granular textures very well, like the clay/brick materials used for plebeian homes in villages.

Played the demo on Switch. May even buy it on Switch, bc I never finished Messenger when it was on Game Pass.

RTS and strategy games' interfaces need severe tweaking for proper controller experiences.

Oh they’ve... gotten... games running? Which ones?

Never gotten it either.

You all realize that their respective community forums/pages will become filled with implicitly softcore pornographic artwork? Rejoice, indeed!

Whenever you do something to a thing or interact with it, in this case posting a photo/gif/video/sound byte (or links to these) on a website, it is treated as media, not content — even if it’s via a platform such as a subreddit.

Judge presiding over this preliminary injunction trial, was appointed by Biden?

It kinda seems everybody else gets the last laugh, as Sarah Bond said MS loses money on xCloud... I doubt they’re gonna be able to be profitable in the cloud business for a long while yet even if the merger happens. Definitely not without more hiccups.

They do have the power, it’s just that it’s predicated on taking too long.
