Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

My xmen setup, I couldn't display my big haslab sentinel, he's like 2ft tall. Need to add Mr sinister

Awesome!

I think this suits you nerd gamers.

Meh I don't see the hate for borderlands movie

It's got shootie, stabbie, splodey, titty(cleave), car chase, monsters, jack black, excessive gun violence

Checks a lot of boxes. It's not funny, at ALL, entertaining enough though. As good as a lesser fifth element.

I'd be unhappy spending 20+ to see it in the theater but for free, why not.

It's the biggest flop in the gaming industry mostly because of bad business strategy imo..

Live service market is winner takes it all atm, unless you are No.1, you don't get a piece of pie. This is different from single player game market that No.2-No.5000 still gets a piece of pie.

And culture war can get a game burned if game dev side with one faction. Even though I firmly believed that game creators should be allowed to express their ideology in their games.

But those elements have nothing to do with gameplay itself, that's really all it matters in a review.

Personally I believe a game reviewer should focus on the gameplay itself in a review.

It's simple, Concord has DEI that created new arguments. Those characters are ugly. People want to be attractive in a fantasy land filled with catgirls meowing around.

I am pretty sure gameplay has greater impact on a game's sale more than "fantasy land filled with catgirls meowing around".

Remember WoW? The characters were ugly. Back in 2008 everyone and their mother plays it, half of the players would rant about characters being ugly back then. They would say something like this "damn this game is fun, but the characters are ugly, the game is fun though" then play it 24/7, skip classes for it like no-lifers.

If character design > gameplay then no one would play wow back in the day.

Back in early 2000 no propaganda would blame a game for featuring ugly characters. They just accepted it as an artistic decision.

Now if your game has ugly characters, rather than view it as an artistic decision, anti-woke propaganda will witch hunt you like it is the only reason behind a failed game. Even if people objectively had zero problem with ugly characters 15+ years ago.

I think people should let other people judge how gameplay is free from politics.

I won't lie. Hentai helped to keep people addicted to WoW just like FFXI has its own one. FFXIV doesn't even have good hentai because people already have mods for their characters. FFXIV can be pretty boring for some players but they still have fun with their mods.

Even the Atelier series doesn't have a good gameplay but have cute characters with thicc legs. That's what keeps them playing.


This, I agree. They probably should just leave our games alone and create their own games.

Open your eyes to reality.

Face the truth!

I am aware of the truth, the truth is that 15 years ago internet community ***on WoW character design and still play them. These days everyone and their mother post anti-woke ***and spam them for 20 pages because they don't like character design.

Any discussion about gameplay? You know, what really matters? Nope, or they are buried in oblivion because of political shitpost shitting on character designs.


I like anime games but..... whenever someone post a non-anime in the gaming community and the reaction was "ugly characters!!!!! Woke!!!!!"(Even if they look perfectly fine, just not anime) I can't help but feel diversity(duh) in game artistic direction is disappearing because of politics.


Who are "they"? IGN?

I believe those diversity games are created or funded by people with such ideology already.

Go check some of those game dev's X, it's clearly that many of them has the same ideology.

Follow me on X for more generic arguments.

Oh, wait...

That's unfortunate. However, I don't know much about newer movies/ TV shows because I no longer enjoy them like I did in the past. People will always find a way to get rid of our standards and put politics in our favorite things we love and have spent a lot of our money on them. (Too many reboots) The same thing can be said about video games. The other people will find a way to attack back.

Goodbye Senran Kagura and Dead or Alive because the dev teams can't find a way to meet Sony's new standards. PlayStation is definitely not the same after they moved to California...

FFXIAH is definitely not a better place to discuss/argue politically because this is like a house we are inside while the majority is outside not hearing us.

Political ideology is about way of life. It's only natural for artists and writers to put their personal belief in their works.

George Orwell and Philip K. *** are 2 of my favorite writer and their works are full of politics. Disco Elysium is my favorite rpg of all time and the entire game is politics. It's the fact that the story includes author's worldview that makes it good.
A good story needs the creator to put their souls into it and souls undeniably means part of creator's life experience and world view. Aka: politics.


So I don't understand the criticism about politics in games. You can argue that the technical aspects of implementing those ideology isn't refined enough and it ended up becoming a bad game/story/world. But to say "games dev can't put politics in game!!!" To me it sounds like killing freedom of speech.



Did the dev actually said that? Because that sounds like excuses to me. There are tens and thousands of porn games on Steam, and Steam even has a much bigger userbase than Playstation.


If they really want to make sequels and Sony wouldn't publish, they can always publish on different platforms. There are absolutely no reason to publish on Playstation store only unless Sony paid mad money.

There are also a lot of ways to secure funding for a new game without Sony. Shenmue 3 was made using Kickstarter money. Wukong's game dev started as a 7 people company that took many years to secure the funding for a 140 people team too. Making a game that Sony doesn't like is very much doable. It's just hard, that's all.


To me it's just excuse or propaganda for not making a sequel due to censorship.

They are Japanese. They'd rather stay silent instead of pointing out Sony's flaws. DEAD OR ALIVE Xtreme Venus Vacation is region-locked on steam. When asked why it has never been released to the west, the developers responded "Hey, we don't want to talk about why."


It was a good excuse. To not piss off the fans.

If they never talk about why, then there is a chance that people's speculation about censorship may not be correct.

There are a lot of totally sfw games that's region blocked in my region due to licensing issues too. No porn nor partial nudity. But it is still region locked.

If a sfw game is region locked then people assume it's licensing issues. If porn or semi-porn game is region locked then people yell "censorship!!!" This is not fair to be honest.

I heard DoAXVV is region locked even in Africa. So that's region locked in like 2/3 of the world or even 3/4. It's weird if it's really due to sjw influence.

Finally, there you go. Unfortunately, no matter what we say. People will still fight to destroy DEI and/or something like that. It's America. Good for nothing.

I cant even make sense about the order of the frames.

Almost all sequels and remakes... but im in for a bunch of em

Especially Saw 11, Tron 3, and 28 years later

Excited for the F1, Kendrick and Ryan Coogler's movies. I get the reason for all the rehashed IP, and I know this isn't every movie that'll be out, but man does it look even worse all laid out together lol

China is very close to US in Olympics, but it seems its a wash on para olympics

microsoft visual run time error 4 wtf is that when i zoned ot odeyssy

Its an error of microsoft visual runtime

IDK except runtime errors always boot me out of games.

Thats because you’re cheating too much!

And because youre being stingy to buy a new hardware

Fixed!

What do you think of Brazilian Miku, Panta?

This terminator zero series has a good story.

I mean, you know, AI killing all the humans is of course awesome. But it's the conversations between the creator and the created before the extinction that're... interesting. Cliche. Predictable. But interesting.

B plot certainly making it unwatchable though, a shame. Drop the kids and cut the episodes in half couldve been neat.

Im not aware of that trend, gonna take a look later.
