Didn’t think this would get such a long thread, but I guess I should bring it back to my original point. Regardless of quality, whether the game happened to be good or bad, Hogwarts Legacy would be ‘snubbed’ because people have principles. I mean, before the game even came out, there was already movement for a…

If you want to use a more literal definition of ‘snub’ (rebuffed, ignored, spurned disdainfully) Hogwarts Legacy fits that bill to a tee. Considering the conversation around the game, it was obvious it wasn’t going to be nominated regardless if it was good or bad.

Consequently, debacles like these will be hidden too.

Is it really a loss? Or is the world healing?

I agree, but the article doesn’t really address any of the actual content, so I imagine a lot of people here will be thinking the same as me from just the headline and picture, xQc is laughing at dead bodies. In actuality, he’s streaming content from people who appear to have done their research and is monetizing from…

Out of morbid curiosity, I searched for the original video being ‘reacted’ to. From the article I expected the worst, like this streamer guy is laughing and pointing at footage of genocide, but no. It just seems like a regular video essay. Now, I can’t say anything about the quality and accuracy about the video essay…

I just hope they let Cid swear.

I had to read your comment twice because I had a different takeaway of what you meant, which oddly is a fitting argument. That being, a company and higher management’s native tongue has no idea what sincerity is, and the only way to fake sincerity is with A.I. or get an uninvolved 3rd party with shallow knowledge of…

Okay. Hear me out. If Big Oil wants to make petroleum cool, all they need to do is force Capcom to make another Dino Crisis. And at one point, a character can say to a t-rex “I’m turning you into fossil fuel”.

It’s Devil May Cry, not DmC.

Makes sense. Seeing how you’re geared to the teeth at the end of Part 1, I figured part 2 would be like this or have the classic Metroid “Oh no, all my stuff got broken” cinematic. Which they could have done since Yuffie does steal the party’s gear in the OG, but oh well.

For smaller devs, I don’t think there’s a point in finishing a game that’s being developed in Unity. They’re probably better off killing their current projects. 

I doubt devs can just simply switch engines at the drop of a hat. Depending on where in the development cycle a game is, it could be impossible. It could be years work now defunct and more years of work just to relearn and re-integrate into a new engine. It's lost time and lost money, and few small indie companies can…

I’m not surprised. This policy hits a certain sub-section of indie devs incredibly hard. Imagine spending X plus years on a game only to find out now that releasing it can only financially hurt you. All that work goes in the trash and the amount of debt and overhead keeps layering on. This can pretty much ruin a…

I’d say it’s an accidental outcome of making less interactable doors, otherwise the game would explode.

Seeing how Genshin Impact uses Unity, whatever repercussions from a mass exodus of indie devs will probably be softened. In the short term at least.

The fact that the apology video was an EDITED video speaks volumes. Not only does Linus not understand GN’s criticisms (ethics/rushing inaccurate videos for a bottom line), but this mindset is shared by the writers, the editors, and the performers. Let’s be real, 100% this video was a performance. All this could have…

There’s a lot of contention on what makes an anime different from western animation with eastern influence. This seems like an easy solution, just call it J-anime.

I really don’t like these types of articles. I get the point is to poke fun and embrace different fandoms, but it also comes across as patronizing. Gaming already has enough gate keeping. There’s no need to encourage it in an official focused capacity.

I wonder if there’s something in a VA’s contract that prevents them from doing sexual efforts (an ‘effort’ as in voiced sound effects). Like, is there some weird scale or chart people use to judge the grunts and gasps of pretending to rock climb/settling in a jacuzzi to pretend sex?
