Nah, Sony has been pretty good about secrecy so far; just specs but nothing as far as a tear-down yet. It almost makes you doubt their expected holiday 2020 release date as there still haven’t been many leaks from their Chinese manufacturers yet.

I think part of the problem is the extra stuff around battling and all that doesn’t really matter for some fans. The casual crowd that really made the game viral just wanted to collect and trade Pokemons. Extra game mechanics is cool for the long term fans who want that extra depth but I don’t think that ever really…

Not controlling but significant considering the other 95% can be divided among smaller insignificant shareholders like you and me or owned by a large corporation who doesn’t want to piss off Tencent and have them sell off share, lowering the market price or forcing the company to buy back shares. Yeah, it’s all money…

Dragon Ball Z kinda ruined any outright adaptations. It just got too big and overshadowing for anything else to really shine, imo. Japanese media, as a whole, adapted Journey into its culture from character archetypes to general tropes. Kinda hard not to see a wannabe Son Goku or reference to such in anime.

I do think the return to Hardcore is important because since those older games, there were more trends towards “forgiving the player” through extra lives, overblown stats, etc but I would question older games being “unfair” because outside bugs, there was very little random factor in most older games; enemies and maps…

I think you replied to the wrong comment because I didn’t mention diversity anywhere in mine nor did I imply it. Culture =/= diversity btw.

While it’s true things take time, the bigger issue is purposeful action about it. Without it, you don’t have change or change so half-ass, the culture goes into mean reversion where it just cyclically goes in and out of the same average level of culture that allows the behavior to continue. If they really want change,…

It’s a small developer with something cool, I really doubt there’s any due diligence into the company beyond board room talks with the CEO and a few creative heads. It happens all the time because video games is a business and business is often full of scumbags. Even if they did look into it, I bet the dickhead CEO…

Eastern medicine can be weird and I’m saying this as an Asian who grew with it; pretty much every part of animals have some medical purpose and even now, there’s probably still a fringe group who thinks bat part can alleviate something.

I really doubt proofers these days are that detailed; they’re probably just checking his words and signing off on general grammar, structure, and story directions. A bunch of weird terms they never heard of during a period they know nothing might get passed on or get a half-ass treatment.

A point to note is that having more stuff doesn’t necessarily mean harder. Regular chess does a good job of being difficult and simple.; numerous combinations and strategies but only six unique pieces with finite moves. It develops a very complex game because every move is simple enough to be viable. Adding more…

Kickstarter and all the others are actually getting pretty scummy when it comes to well known developers and maturing companies. It’s one thing for people to ask for funding for your new growing business but some have made it a habit to ask for funding for every new project they do. Like, you’re established already…

Nitpicking away his example doesn’t remove their point and seriously, “who watches TV anymore?” is your rebuttal about it? Come on, dude. People do things for their reasons; sometimes the thing is sad, sometimes the reason is sad. Always better not to give a fuck about it than to condescend over something you don’t…

SMT4 also released on 3ds, also so it’s not even like it being on a Nintendo console should be that much of a shock.

It’s not like he pre-checked it for pee-pees before going in there. He got lucky nothing was shown but he still went in there without any consent and with kids in the rooms. He broke the law before he was in the room.

It’s competitive play that could potentially be televised. You can’t delete but you can definitely disallow the shit out of it so they can broadcast without worrying about fines and make some money to actually fund the fucking thing. See how God didn’t remove my words and the world stayed the same?

What a waste, don’t see much positive from this since Netease’s game history is a bunch of mobiles and microtransaction stuff.

With the amount of photoshop involved, were they ever “real people”?

Lev only changed his personal identification about his gender. Seeing as it was a very big deal with the Scars and everything after was them alone trying to find the Fireflies, I couldn’t imagine there would’ve been any way for him to receive any kind of related treatments. Unless there were underlying genetic…

I’m pretty sure you don’t have to be pretty sure about this.
