Well Persona 5 will certainly happen, no doubt about that. I just wish they'd make a bit more of an effort to connect the universe of the Persona games. Obviously they did this for 3 and 4, but the original games were reduced to mere throwaway cameos on the text that came from the TV in the dorm. They should re-introduce some of the old characters.
I'd love to see a PROPER Silent Hill game, while Skate and Harvest Moon I don't really care about. Did they ever get ...
I wonder if you can use the Big Magic Mountain train anytime you want? Or is just for that boss? The animation for the pirate ship seems a little bit lazy.
I like the little detail of the tree growing through the wall which seems to be blocking the way to the forest and the mansion.
Also I wonder what happens after Sora sends the train hurtling towards the Rock Titan? Does that defeat it or do you return to the ground to fight it. It'd be cool if you foug...
"It's a Part of the DNA of the Series." Lol I see what they did thar.
Isn't this kind of the reason ACIII sort of sucked in a lot of areas?
None of that matters. If a game does something well, then fine, it can be praised for doing that well. But it doesn't change the fact that the game upon release is made part of culture. The "point" of the game can be praised for being realized well, but you can't just stop there, you have to address how it functions in culture and what ideas and messages it communicates. It's irresponsible not to. And hey, some games are even worthy of praise in that area.
This guy is so right, and I hope a day comes when people finally understand that.
None of it should about competition. The very fact that it is shows that money is prioritised over everything else.
I'm not an Xboner or anything, and I'm likely to pick up a Ps4 at some point, but I could care less about this game if it's just a look-don't-touch linear fps. I mean I can appreciate the visuals and the composition and everything, but I don't know. It only looks "real". I could just go outside to see that, or go on a vacation somewhere (well, if I had the money). The visual department has to bring something pretty unique if I'm going to buy a game based on v...
I'm not part of any generation that experienced racism and it still offends me deeply that people could treat others like that. I care, and so should you. And you act like racism somehow isn't a thing these days. The n word is still as negative as it's always been. It's about ridding those false preconceptions from people's minds, because they still very much exist. It's our responsibility as a species. We can't just ignore the past.
What has the &...
This is obviously a mistake. I mean, if Minaj INTENDED for it to sound like the n word, then it's a different story, but I don't think that's the case. This is one of the few examples of a false alarm. Most of the controversies that arise about sexism and racism in games are fully justified, but this is just manufactured.
So history never happened did it not? Oh wait, it did. That's why the word will always be offensive. Just because the past is more remote doesn't mean it happened any less. We have to respect and remember those evils committed if we want to move on. The word will never escape it's historical association.
@Bumbleboo (continued): EDIT: You say "black culture" is bad for the world. What does that even mean? The entirety of black culture? That's a really, really terrible and generalising thing to say. I mean, maybe in certain subgenres of hip hop you see a lot of misogyny and materialism, but there's equal amounts of this if not more in instances of white culture. What about jazz? What about all the many accomplished black intellectuals and artists with something important to s...
@Bumbleboo: You might be the most backwards person on N4G.
There's nothing "naturally" different about black people. It's a fact that humans the least diverse species on earth. Differences you judge as representing some kind of mutually exclusive difference are in fact superficial and biologically negligible. Mostly to do with geographical dispersiona dn gradation and the like.
What you don't seem to realise is that if any "Blacks a...
Um, no, the n word is still offensive. Slavery still happened, so the n word is still offensive. Simple as that. It's usage by white people pretty much recreates the power relations of the past. That's nothing to joke about.
If black people want to appropriate it they can, so long as they don't internalise its historical definition of objectification and subservience. It's a powerful thing to turn white words against whites like that; it denies them the privil...
What exactly is tasteful about being a voyeur on a virtual model via an exploit? There's a VAST difference between this and the paintings you cite. There's nothing "artistic" about this exploit, it's motivated purely by pervy impulses. Maybe QD were able to put it to "artistic" use, but what people are doing with it now is not artistic.
That doesn't make it any better. All it does is implicate the developers in it too. Just because the developers put it in there doesn't make it sanctioned or okay. Why are you indulging them? If anything, this is aspect of the game people should take more seriously and critique. It's all just shady and pervy.
A game that purports to be "arty" and "innovative" and yet it's underpinned by the very same juvenility we're so accustomed to in...
Why do people feel they have to do this? Why is this such an imperative? I mean, I know the story and the game overall are pretty bad (QD games and stories usually are), but nevertheless you should pay attention to them and what they mean or the message they carry (which could be good or bad and which is worth examining in either case. This involves having more than just a soundbite opinion). Instead people just play the game, say "that was amazing", forget about it the next day, an...
The Red Cross are spot on with this. And this is just another example of how the centrality of money fosters superficiality in culture. Compromises and abstractions for the sake of budgetary concerns and also for the sake of your product selling well owing to it's simplification and "fun factor." Games are perhaps one of the most notorious mediums for this given how expensive they can be to make, or, how expensive elements in the AAA industry feel they have to be. Our entertainm...
I'm sure it'll be a freaky and atmospheric game, and I really want to play it, but I'll likely find it hard to take seriously beyond those aspects of it. The philosophy and science behind it is looking more and more to be super outmoded and discredited stuff, which means to me that it warrants no serious consideration.
I suppose if you're really into skating you'd like that. But for those who were more into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and not ACTUAL skating it seems to make sense to include a camera angle more like in THPS.
