The story of the original game was a collaborative effort between Bruce and Neil. Without Bruce, the story of the original would’ve been been very different. This is made clear in interviews back then. An example would be the character Tess. Neil wanted her to turn against Joel out of a lust for revenge for something…

It feels like a lot of powerful media companies are trying to cut labor out entirely nowadays.

You just watched a pitch. It isn’t a game, it is a pitch, and that pitch, while it describes some gameplay, is almost entirely the story. They sat down and cocreated the story together, as well as the ideas of gameplay. If a director and a cinematographer sat down for some time, and put together a list of storyboards…

They created the story together

Most of us in post production aren’t properly credited. Its especially frustrating on streaming episodic because there’s literally no reason not to. Previously, it was to cut for time/film stock but that excuse isn’t as relevant anymore.

Properly crediting people is literally the least these companies can do.

But when those constituents volunteer to put lube and knee pads on, it’s a mutual screw.

I’m no more a xenophobe than I am a homophobe. I just don’t see the value in letting foreign countries purchase large swathes of American land and natural resources.

Explain to me please the value in doing so.  I’ll entertain a lively debate but you will refrain from name calling.

Im a tit for tat guy.  China doesnt let us actually own property in China, so fuck them.  Chinese companies cant operate in the US unless they have a us partner and let the partner own the majority of the property and have access to their trade secrets.  

That would depend on those country’s laws, unless you mean having our government ban us from doing that.

If a country wants to impose the same restrictions on Americans buying land on their country, they are welcome to do so. It’s their country. They should run it as they see fit.

Absolutely - Not just China. 

There was an article about a Saudi alfalfa farm out in the Southwest draining all the groundwater so they could grow food for their cows in Saudi.

I hate DeSantis too, but yea, I think American citizens should have priority in buying land and property in their own country over foreign entities. But all foreign entities. Not just China.

I feel disgusting for having to agree with that piece of shit DeSantis but I actually agree with banning foreign entities from owning land / real estate within our boarders.
I’ve never heard a good reason for allowing this and as it stands there are so many vacant condo’s in Boston owned by foreigners as investments.

A…

Yeah, this article took kindof a weird shot at Troy Baker.  The guy is a very talented voice actor, and (correct me if I’m wrong) seems like an decent guy.

What a shit review. You walked away from the game because your wife was a couple months pregnant? You had no experience as a father at that point and had zero perspective to share, yet you make the whole review about how manipulative, terrible and cliche The Last of Us is. Are we supposed to agree with you because as…

“I’m going to brag about not playing one of the most critically acclaimed video games ever, defend that decision, then use that decision to color my review.”

Not being able to control your party is the biggest offender next to the whole design of the tower. It’s just not fun to go through today. And them improving it with Portable but basically turning it into a visual novel is not a solution to me because you lose out on the other side of the game.

It pains me to disagree because Persona 3 is one of my favorite games... but it’s aged terribly and is a pain in the ass to play today. It really, *really* needs a remaster with some of the quality of life stuff from the later games added in. The style, the music, the themes, and the story are all great, but the…
