Dear Vauche (Since I dismissed your inane reply implying I should be “burned at the stake” for quoting him if I believe context never matters),

If you like the Metroidvania genre of games, it is in the top of the class. It’s stylish, melancholy, whimsical, at times difficult as fuck, and utterly absorbing. For the price, it’s worth giving a try even if you end up hating it.

I am flippin’ vibrating. I am so excited. This idea of a Hornet mode was stretch goal from the kickstarter, then it was going to be DLC, and people felt like it was just going to be like Richter mode in SotN. Instead, we get... ALL THIS. A whole all out sequel. I feel like getting a Team Cherry tattoo.

The man just doesn’t get it. Just like he didn’t get it the last time.

It’s a homophobic slur. I don’t care why you’re using it. Just don’t. Change the word f*g to the n-word in the same context and it doesn’t matter. The n-word is a racist slur. And again, just don’t. I don’t care what your intentions are. The less these words are thought and the less these words are said, the better…

Oh no, what will the game streaming community ever do without...checks notes...

It is homophobic. It is derogatory in any context outside of describing a cigarette outside of England. Replace the F word with the N word, and you should understand better.

it wasn’t ‘directed at an entire group of people who have a sexual orientation that differs from my own’

Oh no, what will the game streaming community ever do without...checks notes...professional mask wearer/iPod play button pusher Deadmouse. It will be ruined.

Except these characters are “ancestors”, which implies they had coitus with opposite sex. So not exclusively gay, no.

No they changed the mythology - they’re not bloodline ancestors for quite a few games now.  This was literally unnecessary in the game’s OWN canon.  So fuck off.

Since I’m seeing some lore talk and a few other things: the way the Animus works is different now. You don’t need to be blood related. All you need is DNA from a person. In theory, the games can be about anyone now regardless of blood relation.

But also, like, let’s be real. While this is partially about telling a…

Honestly, I’m glad. I’ve never been fond of gender-locked races, because they almost always wind up falling into the same two camps: big buff dudes and slinky sexy ladies.

Fighting racism with racism isn’t, like. A thing. By definition, people who are targets of racism cannot be “counter-racist” against the people being racist at them—prejudiced, sure. But maybe read up on that, first off.

There is no such thing as heterophobia, nor there will ever be.

Horrible? You mean amazing right? Because the Lightning trilogy was awesome!

Yeah, nice try, “Ardyn” I see through your clever clever disguise!

I mean if you're worse than antisocial I'll live happily while you die a lonely death.

I agree, he seems really toxic, and pretty much brags about being toxic. I loved his response to you, he fell back on the stereotypical “say that to my face”, he can’t even muster up a anything original.

You deserved it. Good riddance. I never have issues with the game. Sounds to me like you went in expecting everyone to rush content because you “have a tight schedule”
