I’m pretty indifferent about it, but I definitly think it’s a combination of curiosity and challenge, for those with the skillset to do it, fan entitlement, and a dab of clout chasing(which is half the motivation on the internet nowadays).

There’s definitly a lot less of it now, but I think that might have to do to how the workload and the buisness in general, has changed.

I’m sure a lot of that stuff, was spearheaded by the passionate people on the dev team, in an age where the concept of a “complete” game was a lot more lax and abstract. So…

I feel like you’re reading negative in a pretty neutral sentence there, lol. Who hurt you?

I used to work at a used book/media store, and the same thing would happen. When inventory got too full, we’d also put out books to take for free, and people would still try to sell em back to us(or take our free books to the other used store in the area).

Considering how the economy is though, I don’t really care or…

It’s not a retcon, though I can understand viewing it as a retcon if the concept of gender were an A to B affair, but it’s truly a lot more fluid and open than that.

Some trans people never realize their trans until their middle aged. Some cis people lived a few years as trans people before realizing they align with…

I think these people have always existed. Their avenues for following through were just always limited. But the downside of having access to global communication is that it gives EVERYONE access in an instant, including the dicks.

It just really sucks when this stuff gets out of hand and everyone with the power to do…

I feel like that’s not it. It’s probably because gaming as a whole has increased in audience exponetnially and online experiences are much more common. 

Idk I think “Sweaty tryhards” are inevitable in EVERY hobby, especially those in competitive settings. That is simply how some people interact with the world around them. No shame in that.

This specific issue, is a problem of venue/hosting. And companies should be keen on seperating casual and competitive communities…

Their complaint isn’t that it’s bad because lacks nudity, their saying it’s bad as a dating sim.

Black Queer leftist here, and while I agree we have a shit-ton of ways to go before there is any real intersectionality on the left.... I do think we tend to jump the “hate crime” gun, way to fast and way too often. Because it’s easy.

Humans are complex, nuanced and full and binary thinking is just not a reality for…

This is a wierd take. Competitions between humans 99% of the time get their value from the knowledge/skill/choices humans themselves bring to the table.

So it doesn’t matter if a computer could do it faster. You’re playing people.

I feel like you’re misinterepting negativity in the piece that’s just now there. They’ve clearly stated they enjoyed Three Houses, several times in the piece.

If anything, their target audience of this piece, doesn’t even sound aimed at Fire Emblem die hards, and more or less just musou fans curious about this…

I mean, they’ve barely put out any actual information on the game outside of hype stuff. So they’ll probably reveal that(very obvious monotization symptom considering the company) when they reveal real information about the game itself.

I mean, the game mechanics on a systems level, seems to be completely different from V. To a casual player, I can see that not making a difference. But all the Street Fighter games have very specific things about them that make them feel very different at a competitive level. So it’s best not to look at new fighting…

Guilty Gear and DBFZ fall into the category of “anime fighters” which are generally on the faster side, but Street Fighter has never been considered an anime fighter, itself.

Compared to most fighters though, the series has always been on the “slower” side. As the games are less about oppressive-n-flashy pressure, and…

Sure? But this is the kind of take that only matters if the discussion is purely about a hard dictionary definition. And these types of argument aren’t actually relevant to the topic, and just waste time. It’s just pedantry.

The conversation is about what’s ideologies are valuable in an environment meant to bring…

Tbh, a bunch of white dudes who worship technology to solve their problems(financially speaking), sounds like the exact demographic to see anything positive and go “how can me maximize profit with this.”

I think that’s your first “decent” take in this thread, tbh.

I think it’s clear they have, and they are simply putting their foot down, that they don’t want their game to fall down that path.

I think there are a lot of legitimate “men’s rights” issues, actually. But yeah, the problem is that MRA’s aren’t ever mentioning these subjects in good faith. Cause even the custody thing, isn’t women’s fault.
