Not a surprise, Ridge Racer at that time was huge, the Sega vs. Namco arcade wars were a beautiful thing. Sega had Daytona, Namco had Ridge Racer. Sega had Virtua Cop, Namco had Time Crisis. Sega had Virtua Fighter, Namco had Tekken. Then Namco sided with the PlayStation and the rest was history!
@Silly_G "Anti-materialism and anti-capitalism are not one and the same" No dude, there's things like Tazmily being a commune with no concept of currency or private property, the whole "Happy Box" subplot, the game's emphasis on nature vs technology... why don't you actually play it before you state things about games you've never even played?
@Silly_G "and not embellished with modern political rhetoric" - you're going to flip your lid when you find out MOTHER 3 is heavily pro-environmentalist and anti-capitalist.
God Xenoblade has such bad character designs. It's not because of the fanservice, because I thought the same thing about 1/X as well. Just so tacky, trashy and over-the-top.
Remember when when "waifu" meant "fictional character you had a crush on/were attracted too" and not just "hot anime girl"? Pepperidge Farm remembers...
@sleepinglion Well there is the theory that they intentionally made the original Sonic design bad and then redesigned it in order to generate more hype and sales which is pretty convincing.
@Savage_Joe It's not a double standard. Otome games are just way less raunchier than their counterparts, hence they get a cleaner stigma. I don't have any problem if games are raunchy or not, but there's no hypocrisy here.
If you want to find games that objectify men, try BL instead...
I hope all the people decrying vaccines etc. in this comment section do the responsible thing and avoid medical care when they are ill. If you don't trust the medical system, then give it up for people who do, you hypocrites.
@Oddball83 You didn't answer my question, what you consider to be the "generic anime characters" in the roster? Because to my eyes Link is the same pretty anime sword boy that the Fire Emblem, Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy characters are. Especially DQ, as DQ and Zelda have influenced each other.
@Oddball83 I want to know what you consider to be the "generic anime characters" in the roster. And yes Link is pretty much the original pretty anime sword boy

Elon is garbage. Twitter was always garbage but it's even worse. Rest in piss, you won't be missed
Re: Netflix Cancels Resident Evil Series After First Season
@Bass_X0 Inclusivity is great, but it shouldn't get in the way of the original source material. Black talent shouldn't be wasted on bad casting.
Re: Sonic's New Voice Actor For Sonic Prime Has Been Revealed
It's a bit weird since it's basically Roger Craig Smith's voice but not voiced by Roger Craig Smith, but I like it.

Re: Mini Review: Waifu Impact - Single-Player 'Fortnite With Fan Service', Minus The Fun
@Tobiaku Hell no. In this case I'll side with the "prudes" then.

@HeeHo Defending godawful asset flip shovelware to own the prudes.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide
@SJW How? He's a silent protagonist.
Re: Shin Megami Tensei V Tops 1 Million Sales Worldwide
Loved the game, but the story was clearly unfinished. Here's hoping they can release an SMTV Apocalypse to improve on it.

Re: New Screenshots Of Fire Emblem: Three Hopes Surface Online
That villain design is terrible and irks me everytime I see it.

Re: Kiss Some Handsome Bodyguards In Dating Sim RPG 'Salty Hounds'
@icomma Agenda? Otome games tend to be way less raunchier than their counterparts. I can't think of a single 18+ otome game

Re: Retro: How A Remarkable Street Fighter Port Soured The Relationship Between Capcom And Nintendo
Nintendo only has themselves to blame for declining optical media. It's a miracle Resi 2 even got on the N64
