That’s basically describing game development as a whole.

So basically “We showed personal discretion and for many reasons made our own changes to the game to make it more like we want it to be, as hundreds of game devs have done for decades.”

That’s sad to hear. You should e-mail Ashcraft to talk about it. Unfortunately, it does seem like a bigger problem than just Konami.

I literally referred to JRPGS like FFX-2 that have all women in my comment. If you are unwilling to listen and really think it’s all that simplistic, grow up.

There wasn’t anything particularly new about an all-male party in a videogame, and that concept wasn’t what drew criticism. The fact that the series itself has tended toward more options and it felt like a step back was what caused some to be disappointed, but then it primarily got more criticism once they contrasted…

That’s just extra room for fun!

It’s me! Wooooo!

Kotaku Houstu? That part of the logo seems a tad hard to read.

This is the dumbest fake controversy in a good while; which is really saying something, as gaming is full of conspiratorial nonsense. No one cares if people wanna play another DOAX game, and I highly doubt that after all these years Koei-Tecmo suddenly started caring about people’s opinions. It comes down to money, as…

While I was initially impressed that Play-Asia hired the first 5 year old social media manager, the novelty has really worn off quick.

I’m definitely familiar with the trope. She still looks uncomfortable(and embarrassed), and that trope isn’t exactly grand by itself. And ultimately, even if you’re fine with it, it’s still understandable for people in a town to wonder at its use in a government-sponsored promotion.

That doesn’t really change how it looks. Bullyish or not, it’s a person looking uncomfortable in a revealing outfit supposedly representing a local town. I totally get them not feeling it was a good fit.

She looks super uncomfortable in this situation, like someone’s forcing her into this. It’s not sexy or appealing, just... kinda creepy.

From what I’ve seen over the years, Star Wars is super popular in Japan. Star Wars is in many ways heavily inspired by Japanese culture, and it fit right in upon release.

Reminds me of how you can buy some Vita games for more than a PS TV.

*gets out my analrapi:t business cards*

ooo I like where this is going...

Yeah, some of the full screen ads and video ads are ridiculous, especially with sudden audio. Kotaku likely doesn’t have much say in it, but maybe they can report these intrusive ads.

I’ve seen too much...
