Or pay the price
You mean getting another job making more money than you should and making bad decisions with 0 consequences? Like C suites ever face any real consequences for the society distorting behavior they exhibit
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 6 days ago:
I do think there was a lot to like in the bones but the execution was just so bad :(. The combination of 90% of the content of the game being doing ubisoft map slop and the story being broken up across media made it pretty miserable, but the moment to moment writing/character development for the party was top notch for sure. I really wanted to like it but actually playing it felt like a chore :(

A lot of people have the hallway complaint, and honestly I think it mostly came down to visuals and sound design. So many games people love have exactly the same level design, including FFX, but there is normally enough to look at, and you don’t have the “high heels on tile” footsteps exacerbating it. I’m also pretty sure a large part of it was a YouTube video pointing it out and people jumping on the bandwagon.

I’ve never played dragon quest, but as a long time final fantasy enjoyer, final fantasy 15 sucked so much I put it down and I never went out of my way to play 16 because of that.
FF7Remake was amazing. FF7Rebirth was good in many ways but also had way too much garbage and goofy shit so I have very mixed feelings about it. Also like the post said it’s a very long wait for a complete story. It also is not really an entry point because FF7 is a huge franchise in itself.
If you take those out of the equation, the last FF games were 13 lightning returns in 2013 which I think is probably good but very different (I didn’t end up finishing but not because I didn’t like it) and 13-2 which in my opinion is one of the best in the series but gets slept on because it’s gated by 13 (2009) which I like but I wouldn’t call amazing or transformative.
I think FF12 might would qualify as a worthy childhood formative game, which means (excluding 16 since I just don’t know) the last good FF that is also an entry point came out in 2006. 20 years ago.
Tldr; I don’t know if FF16 is a worthy childhood formative experience, but if it’s not, the last candidate is TWENTY years ago, so ofc young people aren’t getting attached to the franchise. They’re probably playing jrpgs that are actually good instead.

I don’t dislike that art style in other games but nothing about that trailer gave me castlevania vibes
- Comment on Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse - Announcement Trailer 1 week ago:
Animation and sound design reminds me of blasphemous and moonscars, which are games I like, but I wouldn’t say feel very castlevania-y
- Comment on Riot Games lays off roughly 80 employees from 2XKO team 1 week ago:
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves has Cristiano Ronaldo and Salvatore Ganacci in it. Having a goofy soccer character as a character is out of place in that game, I don’t want real people in fighting games at all, and to top it off, Rinaldo is a piece of shit anyway.

Or they don’t like the character that they don’t have to pick.
Yeah I’m not playing a game when I’ll have to see a real life rapist in the character select screen

Ehhh I know a lot of people that play indie games, but generally they only play one or two genres of them. Part of it is that the terminology gets confusing because people mean different things. Like, other than baldur’s gate, I couldn’t tell you the last western AAA game I played. But I played FF7 rebirth which is definitely AAA but not what people are always talking about when that talk about AAA sinking. There are also tons of studios that you probably wouldn’t call AAA but you also wouldn’t call indie. Like, I probably play more games from Falcom than any other studio. They’re not huge headcount-wise or cutting edge technology-wise but they’ve been consistently making games since the 80s. I think a lot of people don’t bucket those types of developers in their heads at all.

The question is who funds these theoretical new studios? Indie studies more often than not have to make deals with the devil so they can eat. Then, even if their game is a smash hit, the investors take the lion’s share of profit and still control the actual devs by the purse strings. This society is sick.

- Comment on With all this talk about Ai not being profitable why aren't we using it in video games? I dont mean replacing developers I mean in NPCs in the game. I make them more realistic. 4 weeks ago:
Why would “all this talk of AI not being profitable” be what triggers discussion about LLM use in games? I would think making games fun and interesting should be what triggers any discussion about using anything in games. Are you Satya Nadella trying to find some way to make LLMs profitable? All this ignores that people have actually been talking about exactly what you described for 2 years already.

When I finish a game naturally I look at the list of stuff I didn’t do yet, and think “how much time will this take? Will I even remember doing completionist stuff in 5 years or would it be better to start a new game?”

I’ll actually put the blame for this on Apple. The fact that the operating system is so hostile to power users and customization is the reason you have to have a third party application to get the scroll to work how you want and assign functions to mouse buttons in the first place.

Don’t listen to people saying you should keep extra accounts open. If you have 1 credit card open that you use regularly and pay off every month you’ll pay no interest and have a good enough credit score.

I wouldn’t say they’re evil. It’s basically like thinking you can be friends with a tiger. They’re on a completely alien ethical framework to humans. Killing humans is the natural thing to do, so of course they do it.

They also act like the show doesn’t explore the dynamic at all, and that somehow it’s not legitimate to say the manga has answers the show doesn’t have when the manga is several arcs ahead of the anime. This person just wants to accuse people of being Nazis.
- Comment on Anon buys a can of beans 1 month ago:
That also wasn’t the answer they received on stack exchange. The anime is also still being adapted, and the manga isn’t even finished.
