Re: Hitman 3 - Cloud Version Now Includes 60FPS Performance Mode On Switch

@Low_ink I'd love for them to have the first and second on Switch!

Unfortunately, either that's not feasible for them or... Well I don't know. Perhaps the scope of the game is so big that it's not so easy to dial it back? I'm no professional when it comes to this stuff.

Hopefully, we get the first two games at some point.

@Low_ink How does it stop play anywhere?

A lot of people have network around them so they could still play anywhere. Plus, a lot of people also play mostly docked, so this still wouldn't be that big of a deal.

I just take this for what it is, a way for us to play a next-gen game on older hardware. It's what we'll have to settle for until Nintendo gives us something stronger or the devs spend a lot of man-hours trying to scale things back to make the game work, like the DOOM ports.

@konbinilife I don't blame you, this site still gets some info in and I haven't found another site like this one that I like, so I'm here currently.

That, and last time I left, people thought I died or something. My fault for getting first comment so much, I guess :B

Re: Review: Before I Forget - A Poignant Portrayal Of Dementia

@StefanN I meant exactly what I said, just that I thought people would probably take this game and use it as a meme on other people.

For some reason, people (I see you @ChakraStomps) thought I was actually making a statement other than that, I wasn't.

You guys gotta chill, not everyone is trying to use double meanings and whatnot. I actually watched my grandfather suffer from dementia. It sucked seeing him like that, and he got to the point where he barely recognized me.

That, and some people use jokes to cope. Not that I was joking. :/

@Would_you_kindly The option option is for me to wait until it's cheaper in another region and try there. Argentina often has stuff cheaper than the US

Technically, I could get this game cheaper by $5 if I bought it from Brazil

@JDig Oh, you mean that someone announcing that they had a white character would probably get canceled?

Yeah that's just based on my own opinions. When I see what typically gets canceled on stuff like Twitter, I often notice that praising whiteness in any way tends to get ratio'd praising blackness is generally accepted. It's also acceptable to say that one hates white people but saying the same to black people or other minorities is usually not accepted.

I don't have any peer reviewed studies or anything, these are just the observations I've made.

@JDig I haven't really guessed about anything though... I just pointed out that we have no evidence from the game dev that the publishers turned him down because of his race. At least, not in this article.

That's not a guess, that's just a fact, unless you see something I don't.

Also, I'm not worked up. I mean, if you think I'm worked up now then I wonder what you think I'd look like if I was calm, haha.

@WatsonWatson Why should I have to prove it? I never made a claim about consciousness and you're the one who brought it up. That was a cute way to kinda run from the discussion though.

I'll buy the game if it's good, I could care less what race they are though, I don't buy based of skin color, seems a lil racist to me.

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

Kalmaro

@JDig You're aren't wrong, though my point still stands, if they did try to announce it they would ge canceled immediately.

@WatsonWatson No, that was just in general. If we keep getting people making claims without any evidence and it comes out that they are wrong, people will take racism less seriously. I probably could have phrased that better, thanks for pointing that out.

I'm not saying the developer lied because I don't know enough about them to say who's telling the truth. It could be they did lie and were racist. It could be that this guy who seems to be hinting at racism made it up. I don't know, no one has provided any evidence yet.

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

@WatsonWatson I'm sorry but that's not how it works. if someone makes a claim, it's up to them to provide their own evidence. The only claim I've made so far is that this person has not provided any evidence... Which they haven't, yet.

@roz061 My main point though was that there are times we're people will jump to conclusions before the evidence comes out, and that gets folks hurt.

My other point was that some people don't care even with evidence, which is kinda sad. That was just a throwaway comment. Most people, when they see the evidence, are honest enough to change their mind.

But yeah, I would LIKE to believe him to, but I can't because he's given me no reason to believe that his specific cases are a result of racism. I'm not going to start attacking people just because he said racism.

All that does is hurt people who really are dealing with racism. It's the "boy crying wolf" issue all over again. You keep saying stuff is racism without evidence (and it comes out to be a lie, assuming this person here is lying), and then when it happens, no one will take you seriously.

Though no one should be making accusations without evidence. It's possible to hurt someone with accusations alone. Especially when it involves a case where people are willing to just strike as soon as they hear something. Like when you get these cases of women at work making accusations that someone was making moves on them, but show no evidence.

I'd like to believe they are honest, but I can't know if they don't provide any proof.

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

@WatsonWatson The only thing I want to read right now is any evidence the developer provides to prove that he was descriminated in the work place.

I don't doubt that there are racist jerks out there who would pass up on someone based on their skin color. I'm not interested in them right now, I'm focused on this one guy right here and the people he seems to be suggesting descriminated against him. Where's the evidence?

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

Kalmaro

@WatsonWatson privileged protections? Black people have that now as well. You can't even criticize black people in certain areas without being called racist, and heaven help you if you hurt one of us even in self-defense and it goes public.

Re: Feature: Why Aerial_Knight Put His Name On His Game

Kalmaro

@roz061 Actually, just because someone has evidence doesn't change things when everyone is still on the "believe certain people no matter what" train.

And I wouldn't say someone is lying because they a lack evidence, I will say that I have no obligation to believe them.
