@waveboy Cuz everyone is focusing on the Wii U/3DS aspect, with the dock also acting as a streaming hub to make that happen, but nobody is expecting Nintendo to have a detachable IR sensor.
@MegaVel91 I mean, when you look at it from the lens of hollywood jacking itself off, yeah, I can see how that can get annoying, even if I did enjoy Sonic Paramount 2
@N8tiveT3ch Give me real ecchi and eroge, not this cynical AI generated slop produced by people who's sex ed came exclusively from watching too much pornhub....
I want real cultured stuff like Trouble Days, Senran Kagura or Saya no Uta on my Switch.
Instead of putting the work into our lap, I'd rather that Nintendo would just get some actual quality curation on their shop for once by hiring people who are cultured in gaming and the genres at play, whether gameplay, story, visuals, art, ect.
Because they way steam does things by tags, it will blanket ban everything on your end, even actual GotY games, because a community member decided to tag it as such. So it's a wonky system that does the job crudely, hence why I think it's a bad idea to use it outside of AI, which is always obvious given the "creativity" is actually from a machine.
The AI stuff is the first that needs to go, then the ones which are clearly asset rips and copy paste soulless puzzle games we've played a billion times. If they do that, then I'll see that the eShop is generally putting out quality that generally doesn't appeal to me instead of something I can unashamedly call bad and a waste of internet load speed just to get to the potentially good stuff.
@Jhena You mean teenagers can't enjoy games that acknowledge that they are growing up? Weren't you a teen yourself?
This kind of stuff is enjoyed because of innocence, not in spite of it.
I think it's bad that something that is trying to encourage you to have babies is looked at as though it is anything but from a place of innocence in the more ethical conditions.
@Jhena "I wish they would keep their fetishes to themselves" is what you said.
It's not about wishes. It's about logistics. Take away an outlet, and it will make it harder to control their feelings. Especially for something that is so rooted in nature.
@Znake I think it has the 3DS content added in. And the 3DS version didn't have multiplayer. So this is probably the definitive version by technicality.
It's bizarre when they say "doesn't have gacha" as a selling point. You'd think they'd have confidence in a gameplay mechanic they implemented into a game they made... But then again, I don't really hear high praise about the mobile entry outside of the story, so it was probably that badly implemented.
Friendly reminder that there were like, what, 10 games on there! And I'm pretty sure most have gotten physical releases, of which also work on the region locked Chinese model because China is that special! (wtf...)
@HammerGalladeBro Zilch.
The game in the anime/manga wasn't made by a game designer, if we take real life into consideration. If you were to use the card game from the anime, it would be horribly unbalanced as many players of the game would tell you. More than half of the things you've seen were done mostly for drama.
These games rely more on the Konami TCG rules and regulations, which will have familiar elements from the anime like graveyards and such, but retooled by actual game designers to be fair and somewhat strategic, give or take some potential gacha luck because card game.
These games probably have tutorial modes anyways, so you'll get use to classic era YuGiOh. Play Master Duel if you want a more modern experience.
@JohnnyMind I think they were probably guaranteed anyways, since these were the days when YuGiOh still had the legacy of being SaW at a casino at the time. yup, that's the origins of this franchise. Even Konami was trying to turn YuGiOh into an entire table top brand at the time before defaulting to duel monsters.
It makes you wonder if they plan on reviving that idea of making more board games out of YuGiOh.
@anoyonmus Perhaps it's because I got in recently, but I absolutely love the chaos of modern YuGiOh. The mind games you can play are very vast, and can make you feel like a 4D chess player.
@JohnnyMind It gets a bit more ridiculous when you remember the switch has no easy sharing options. So it was gonna be far more cumbersome to try to spoil.
I get that remasters attract younger audiences who may be curious about older games, so they don't want to be spoiled. But for a lot of people, the infamous scene has become a meme in gaming as a whole, that it's a talking point as to whether it's gonna happen again in the new Re;make trilogy.
@daveMcFlave I'd also like to add that a logical solution would be to release a separate version of the game for young eyes rather than just patch it out for all buyers.
I'm not for that either, especially when you come to realizing that the jiggly bits are meant for children first.
It's probably better to just own up to it or get on the people who pressured for it to begin with.
@Corvus96 We are talking about video games, right? because as @silverdamascus brought up...
Besides that, it's already happened with visual novels on steam as is getting butchered to hell and back just to get released there. So it ain't no slippery slope fallacy, it's already happened and we don't want more of it.
Who cares? I care. And apparently, 30+ other people in this comment section.
@MirrorFate2 aaaand what does that have to do with this game? or anything really?
@LillianC14 Appeal to everyone, and you appeal to no one.
Guilty Gear use to have a strong identity, it was Rock and metal personified. Now it's trying to be everything. And it's showing in how the characters keep returning only to feel like mass departures from looks alone.
I mean, ffs, the first guest character GG gets isn't even from a franchise known for its metal inspirations like Brutal Legend or DooM, but from Cyberpunk Edgerunners which thematically and stylistically has nothing in common with GG. Not even the character in question they chose.
@ottoecamn "every design gets toned down (not just the female characters, every single design is more boring and less striking than Xrd)"
I can concur, looking at May's design alone, and you see a loli who's the epitome of pirates and heavy metal, which was an obvious play on Pirate Metal, an actual music genre, and then they made her a generic Kyoto Animation rip-off character for Strive. She went from cute and interesting to stock cute. Was willing to go with it at the time, but now I'm fully disappointed after seeing the full direction Strive went in.
@nessisonett "Why apply logical thinking to serious matters like genocide or economic collapse when you can be the Bernard Russell of gooning instead?"
Sorry if your having a bad time with finances and propaganda from both sides, but that conversation is for people who know how to talk about it, and really doesn't belong under this article just because you care about those things more. Stay on topic please.
"What is the ‘mile’ scenario with removing these angles"
Well for starters, more and more art gets stripped of it's identity and sincerity, all because a prudish closet pervert on the ratings board, for example, can't stop looking at every character sexually and wants their paycheck.
If you're gonna be on a gaming website, you should probably expect people who care about art first, not the political leanings you agree or disagree with, and ESPECIALLY not out of me given my hatred of contemporary politics.
Why am I not surprised? Even the tacky granny spats...
Besides that, I wouldn't consider Guilty Gear a 12+ series to begin with, considering how the past games went heavy with the heavy metal aesthetic. Maybe not gory, but they did embrace things like blood rivers and such.
But it's guilty gear STRIVE. They sold themselves out a long time ago...
@Lizuka Give an inch and they take a mile. Even in a side mode meant for creativity, I dunno why this is ok.
