@MsJubilee not just you, it's uncanny. Their social media team is super creepy too (asking for girls to send their best selfies publicly to them on Facebook to 'celebrate women's day') so this is a skip for me.
Personally, I think demonizing all who disagree with a company outright lying over and over is ridiculous.
Yes, the Devs shouldn't feel bad but the people at the top should. The solution here is for better management by the top and more developers getting paid better. If you're trying to support developers you shouldn't be aiding the company exploiting them while putting down those pointing out the clear problems within the company and the outright false advertising.
TLDR: Corporate bootlicking is not how you care for Devs. It's how you safeguard their continued exploitation.
Played Strange Journey, Persona Q and Persona Q2 on it so far this year and currently playing through Etrian Odyssey Nexus. Q2 is probably my personal game of the year so I'm more than happy with this year on my 3DS.
I like fortnite a lot but "£70" of content is misleading. They are selling it for £25 which means they found £25 to be satisfactory payment for the items based on the work put into making them (which isn't super much because they're re-colours). If the price is £25 for the group of items, that group of items is WORTH that. In fact, to be s stickler for accuracy, the set is worth LESS than that as they clearly want to make a profit off it.
@R_Champ Indie Devs? You're really including them here? Yes, those god damn developers who aren't backed by a big studio wanting money for the work they put their energy and creativity into! Indie devs are creating some of the most critically and culturally acclaimed games in recent memory off their own back and you want to slag them off because they'll take money from Epic to make their game exclusive to their completely free-to-use launcher?
Oh no I have to click on Epic instead of Steam because I'm too much of an idiot to make a shortcut to the game on my home screen! This is industrial terrorism! Damn those indie devs who need money to live!
@Logan-Japan Except it is. If the majority is bigger than the rest, the rest is the minority. That is exactly how it works. You can do that with your cake but you'd be an idiot
@Logan-Japan I literally said straight males in terms of global numbers. Not gamers. My point was that straight males are the majority in gaming and the majority of entertainment because that's the minority that has always been targeted due to systematic sexism and homophobia.
@Trajan Yes, they are. If you look at the global population and assume a 50/50 split of male and female (although in reality the majority gender is usually female) and then factor in that not all men are straight, it is evident that when counting gay men, bisexual men, women and other sexualities of women; straight men are a minority when compared to all other types of people on this planet
@TechaNinja figs? Everyone already knows that that is a thinly veiled excuse to claim you aren't using the homphobic slur you're absolutely trying to use.
Just say 'f*gs* and announce your homophobia with your gut.
@CharlieGirl And other sexual orientations too. As it stands, the gaming industry largely caters to a minority (straight males) but the people who aren't that minority are the ones always called the 'vocal minority' by fans of the status quo.
@Scollurio she literally is in no way fat... the 'literally hundreds of young women whispering in your head' need to evaluate whether they are women or projections of your own internal biases
Her whole body is stick thin apart from her thighs which are normal sized but pulled in tightly by her clothing because recently straight men have decided that they want skinny women with big butts and thighs. Her design is made to appeal to current female body expectations.
@SwitchForce Source and what was decided? If the state has its own age of consent (all of them do) and it's above 12 (all of them are) then their claim would be without legal ground. You said in your own comment that 18 is considered a universal norm outside of Japan because 13 is normal in Japan which is demonstrably false.
@Xansies That's incorrect. The national minimum is 13 but all areas of Japan have it set above that. In practice the age of consent varies between 16-18. In Japan being a pedophile is still being a pedophile and 'lolicon' is their direct equivalent of pedophile. Lots of otakus and other sorts on the internet often distort facts about Japan to feel better about using Japanese media as an outlet for their pedophilia and they've helped feed this massive misconception about Japanese culture.
Edit: TWO areas of Japan have the age of consent at 13. The rest have it at 16-18. America's national minimum age of consent is 12 which is below that of Japan but you don't see Americans using that to justify things because it isn't the age of consent in practice.
Huh, thats really weird. I got it day one and the FPS has seemed really strong almost the whole way and the only texture issues I see noticeably in docked are weapons at the beginning of the game with handheld looking pretty perfect at all times.
I was actually taken aback at how well the port came out so it's a shame to see it labelled as disappointing and such.
@Aneira Resident Evil has been doing really well after 6. Revelations 1 and 2 are fantastic continuations of the style 4 brought and 7 went in a new direction which paid off with it being one of the scariest RE games to date. Granted, that is just one series and I can't really think of many other big survival horror games in the past few years...
@BadEndBrit Love the call out to the 'vocal minority who didnt buy the game anyway' when 1. you have no evidence of who did and didnt buy the game and for what reasons, 2. the game was changed before there was any type of backlash from any 'vocal minority', and 3. calling people out as 'vocal minorities who dont buy game' is hilarious considering the vocal minority right now who are furiously typing into their keyboards that they're cancelling their pre orders because of this. Funny that the 'majority' never seems to buy games either.
@BarefootBowser its nintendolife trying to stoke the flames to keep the drama going for clicks because 'censorship' drama always ends up being extremely highly commented on on this site because a crap tonne of viewers here seem to only want a game if they can look at tits.
Great. People that want that can buy it. Maybe they'll leave coverage of the remake alone now so those who are actually interested in the game and will BUY it, can keep up with the news without incessant whining from people who have said that they won't buy it and don't want it. TMS flopped because it was a Wii U Game. The switch is freaking massive in comparison to the Wii U. The SMT franchise keeps growing with Persona 5 blowing the series up to insane levels of recognition and Fire Emblem just had a massive game launch in Three Houses. Cross promotional outfits (already seen a Three Houses one in the trailer) and such will help sell this game even more by connecting the game to the big hits they've known recently. If it is marketed well this game won't flop, regardless of some angry Japanese players and angry Americans pretending they were going to buy the game anyway on twitter.
The majority of the Switch's demographic isn't paying close attention to One Angry Gamer. They're paying attention to Nintendo's advertising and the game itself.
Edit: can anyone actually link to me angry Japanese players? I've only seen Americans angry about the subject which suggests to me that the Amazon Japan sales are Americans ordering from there simply because that's the only place it's available. Plus, it wouldn't take many sales for a Wii U game in the end of 2019 to become the best selling Wii U game right now. This is grasping at straws.
@SBandy Artistic choice. Original artist made the new outfits AND is adding glasses to a character who they originally intended to have glasses as well as creating the new costumes for the game. This is the developer's vision but people can't seem to fathom that maybe the developers decided less nudity was better because they all seem to think Japan is some homeland for their sexual fantasies and nothing more.
It's a shame that Capcom isn't putting enough effort in to these ports. The switch is easily capable of playing these games considering they were developed for last gen (which the switch is more powerful than) and the Revelations ports were great
God imagine how cool it would be to get more characters and seasonal costumes and such on MK8Deluxe. Oh well. This is a ripoff obviously but whatever. Hopefully we get Mario Kart 9 at some point on the switch considering I had the Wii U so MK8 is old for me and Deluxe didn't hold my attention for long and mostly just have it for when I'm playing with friends as I already played it tons on my Wii U.
@Yoshinator I think this is their 5th(?) Gacha Game. They've already gotten the message that people will spend thousands to gamble on piece meal content

Re: Atelier Ryza Producer Surprised That Fans Find Lead Character So Sexy
@Trajan Yep and the percentage increases year on year as it becomes more accepted around the world so that 4% is also likely low.
I already stated why in my initial comment. If you aren't willing to read and accept the context as it exists then why bother replying to me?
Re: Atelier Ryza Producer Surprised That Fans Find Lead Character So Sexy
@Trajan Theyre significantly more than 1% of the population lmao.
And no we aren't talking about players of video games. I've already stated that over and over here.
