Who would ever be convinced by Morinth’s arguments? She is literally a serial killer who gets immense sexual pleasure from snuffing people out. If you went with it just to say where it goes, fair enough, but it doesn’t really go anywhere all that interesting because she’s a walking landmine that asks stupid people to…

You’re welcome. Yours is actually pretty good, but it doesn’t read well at this tiny size.

And we’re all here for you on your principled stand against (checks notes) calling... fictional characters by their names.

Chris being evil is strange enough that series fans will presume it’s some combination of:

Shenmue 3 changed the combat and a large portion of finishing the story involves winning a gambling game through pure luck TWICE. So not all of the old fans are okay with it, even if they expected something iffy to begin with.

Specifically Shenmue 3 which had a rather infamous launch and fundraising campaign.

Yes, I understand what Ash is saying, but saying “videogames are bad at this” is sort of meaningless when you’re talking about American companies, Canadian companies, Japanese companies, and European companies all in the same breath and making a statement like the culture, beliefs, goals, etc are aligned there just…

Saying Capcom (specifically in Resident Evil) focuses on male protagonists is statistically not the case, it’s 50/50 or slightly weighted towards women protagonists. White yes, but that’s mainly because the main two guys and the main woman hero were all chosen to be white back in the 90s when this wouldn’t have even…

Chris was in RE6 and 7, Sheva has disappeared from the series (like Josh, also from RE5).

Kotick makes monumentally more money and is actually known in the industry for being overpaid. Iwata’s salary was run of the mill for the industry.

Yes, you can play without spending, but if you read the article or the leaked documents, EA is deliberately making the games more annoying to play on PURPOSE to push the sales. There’s no escape to a fair version of this game.

Why yes, if you invent an argument I didn’t make, it does sound like Bungie is being more reasonable. I never said Bright Dust per application. I correctly stated that the Eververse price for getting a (new) Shader has increased by 750%. Spending 300 per new shader will drain your Bright Dust supply at a much higher…

Not exactly true. Godzilla is insistent on being dominant to the point of *SPOILERS*

The weird scene that I always remember from this movie is when the brother comes in and is crapping on him, basically doing a whole big ego trip, and you think it’s going to become a huge blowout argument/fight between them. Then Bradley Cooper surprisingly goes “I have nothing but love for you, I’m happy for you.”…

The framing device of When Harry Met Sally is couples discussing how they got together, fell in love, and got married. It would be completely incoherent if it didn’t have the ending of Harry and Sally taking part in the same sort of interview.

People with poorer vision will have an even harder time making out what’s happening on a deliberately obscured screen. You did not think this through, at all.

Yeah, Control didn’t think through this system at all, that was the exact example I was thinking of. In what way is it helpful to obscure your vision when you’re at your most vulnerable? If you had a power that could restore health, fine. That would be a good reminder to use it. Since such a thing doesn’t exist, cut…

You need an Epi pen, but for irony poisoning. This can’t be healthy.

No.... just no. The achievement list in Nier is not like that and has never been like that. In Nier Automata, there’s an achievement for catching 15 fish. Not all of them... just 15. What deep psychological mirror did that hold up to the players’ twisted souls? That they should maybe try the optional fishing system in…

In the original game, there was an achievement for completing the first run through very quickly. This was not a deep commentary on theme or an important message from the developer it was just... a way to fill out the achievement list. There were achievements for getting large combos or collecting a lot of money. They…
