Re: Random: New Disney Pixar Movie 'Turning Red' Makes For The Perfect Super Mario Mashup

@Chocobo_Shepherd People who get upset by the hidden themes in this movie are the same people that turn everything they see into a forced adult perspective because they want to outrage about everything. It's the same people that will scream if they see anyone eating a banana in public.

The movie is about a family that had an old god gift for the women in their family line to protect themselves by turning into big red pandas, but it's not convenient in the modern world anymore. So, "Turning Red" talks about turning into the big RED panda.

That's it. A little 5 year old that watches the movie catches this. Anyone saying it's not for kids under 10 because of the themes is crazy.

And well. If Turning Hard is about a family curse that turns males in a family line into statues, sure, why not? What would be wrong about it?

Re: Random: Console Modder Makes "Fake Portable GameCube" Mock-Up A Reality

@Coalescence Objectively, the Gamecube was more powerful, and graphically more capable than the PS2.

Just watch for videos of Resident Evil 4 comparisons.

What killed it was that a lot of developers didn't like the mini disc because it was hard for them to fit their games in 1.4GB. So they went with PS2. Resident Evil 4 is also an example of a two-disc Gamecube game.

Had Nintendo gone for standard DVD disc (4.7GB), gaming history would be a lot different.

@AlternateRT I'm saying that because they are next to the border and post in English.

But that defeats my point. Had the game been good, the game was good and I wouldn't care they speak English or German or whatever instead of Spanish. I would praise the game.

My OPINION, which everyone can, and probably will, be against, and that's okay, is that people should care about the quality of the product they buy, not about who made (developed in this case) said product.

The thing I said about being more from USA than from here (Mexico) was because of someone else giving them more merit (it seemed like that for me) just because of being a Mexican company.

@nofriendo I have as much rights to write my opinion on this game as anyone else.

The game is bad as several reviews already let people see. I gave my opinion on how I think you shouldn't care about the developer, but about the final product you, as a consumer, buy. That's my OPINION, none needs to care about it.

Coco was great, but Pixar isn't a Mexican based company, and I don't feel offended because of that, and the movie isn't any worse because of that. Just giving an example.

@RBRTMNZ The developers are more from the USA than from Mexico (they are located not that far from the USA-Mexico border). And even all their social network posts are posted in English, including their Twitter bio description. It seems they are not targeting their own country as potential buyers. I looked for alternate accounts in Spanish (like most companies do), but nope.

Do you want some good content based on pre-Mexican civilizations? Watch "Maya and The Three" by Jorge R. Gutiérrez.

I'm sorry, this game is just bad. I don't care who developed it.

@CharlieGirl As a Mexican man, this doesn't mean anything to me at all.

These games get so much press in Mexico because there are not many Mexican-based (from people or companies that actually still live in Mexico) developers out there, so things like these get shown a lot whenever they exist.

A bad game is a bad game, no matter if it's from someone in your home country. Let's admire the games by what they are, not because of who developed them.

@stuntz0rZ Most houses in Dominican Republic look like that. You don't want a window being easily smashed down by thieves so they can enter. That's what the windows bars are for.

Not sure if trolling in the second part of your comment, but it's, in fact, very easy, for example, to make a Pokémon edited using some PC tool to look legal in game and in online trades.
