I'm sorry but the idea that if you've personally experienced racism, that you therefore become some kind of expert on it as a sociological phenomena (and authority on how and when it should be opposed), makes about as much sense as saying that victims of cancer should be consulted on how to cure cancer.
It's just not a logical deduction. One thing does not imply the other.
In many situations, actually being a victim of something yourself, makes you LESS rational in thinking about how to solve it.
People are obsessed with racism nowadays. They actively go looking for it, and if they can't find any genuine examples, they just redefine words or meanings in order to create it. The whole subject has become a complete joke in my opinion. I no longer take accusations of racism at all seriously, which is unfortunate because there are probably some legitimate ones from time to time.
And yet Nevada has legalised prostitution. Which is more socially libertarian than most of Europe is. Hence my point about multiple cultures. The US was deliberately set up as a federation of 50 states for a reason, because getting wide scale consensus on anything in a country so big and diverse, would often be impossible.
There is no such thing as "american culture" in this particular sense. America is the most multi-cultural country on earth. There are about a dozen different "cultures" in the country.
The idea that Sony is accurately reflecting that is complete nonsense. Of course they're not. They're not even trying to. They're reflecting the culture of upper-middle class california democrats, who have become extreme puritans in recent years.
The idea that Sony is accurately representing "american culture" by censoring naked bottoms in Devil May Cry, is utterly deranged. They're doing nothing of the sort. Their HQ got relocated to California. They're representing puritanical wokeness culture, which only a tiny percentage of americans subscribe to.
Yeah I ignore the remasters of FF5 and FF6 on cellphones because they look worse than the originals.
Those are some of the best RPGs ever made. They deserve proper big budget remakes. Or at least a decent visual update, like PSP versions of FF1 , 2 and 4
Makes sense. Resident Evil does quite well in Japan, and Japan is all-in on the Switch at this point. Obviously they're doing the same with Monster Hunter too, which also makes this more plausible.
RER2 was one of my favourite in the series, so I'd have high hopes for another one.
Why did it quickly start playing Zelda's lullaby at the end of the trailer, before cutting it off? Are they maybe teasing a future release, as they like to do? Either Ocarina or Link to the Past remaster/remake?
California changed massively over the last 30 years. It did used to be a very libertarian place. Now, it's perhaps the worst version of a "nanny state" in the US. Everything is over regulated and heavily controlled by the state government.
This was the theory I had before. The reason they haven't done anything about it is because of the lawsuits. Fixing the problem would be used as an admission of wrongdoing. Catch-22 nightmare.
Impossible to really know much from accusations like this. He's been there for 25 years. Did he call someone a "piece of sh*t" on 1 occasion when everything was especially heated right before launch? Or did he do it on a regular basis whenever anyone annoyed him? Those are 2 completely different visions of someone.
Does anyone really care about this? I spend almost no time looking at the cartridges. Nice boxart is far more important if you want to focus on the superficial stuff.
Sad to hear Galaxy motion controls don't work in handheld. No good reason for that. Also, didn't realise Sunshine was only 30fps. Otherwise, it's all good! Can't wait.
The fact that Dolphin figured out how to do it might actually be the very reason they managed it in 3D all-stars whereas they couldn't in Mario 64. It's definitely not an easy task to try and debug something like that.

Re: Square Enix Announces SaGa Frontier Remastered, Launches On Switch In Summer 2021
Why do they keep remastering their crap games that no-one asks for, when Final Fantasy 1-6 are still not on the Switch?
FF6 remade with Octopath Traveller style graphics would sell like 5 million copies easily.

I'm explaining it, not defending it. I've said many times they should fix it as soon as possible, and I'm not sure why they haven't. Possibly because they think that will act as evidence of culpability, which could spur even more lawsuits.
