"Capitalists who don't care about fans or game quality, are still able to maximize their profits"
Just another day in the games industry.

Max operating profit does not align with max artistic or social value.

GT has had its highs and lows, but it's always been very easy to see that it's made by people who love cars

Not often you read a preview that doesn't mince words about the bad stuff.

So by your logic, he shouldn't really be blamed for the result of two projects he directed, but should get a lot of credit for the FFVII remake that he co-directed with Toriyama?

I don't blame Nomura for the delays, but the execution and final product. And ofc there are more people than just him that deserve blame (the choice to develop an engine and game simultaneously on Versus XIII, for instance, was a questionable one) -- but he was the director.

The Nomura era has been a real drop in quality.
FFXV development took a decade, and then final product felt really unfinished. KH3 downright sucked. The FFVII remake is pretty good, but then it's based on one of the greatest games of all time, and adds a lot of Nomura-style mysticism that ends up dumbing down the story.

Thank Jesus. One of the best dev studios Sony has. They really need to keep a strong 1st party lineup if they want to stay on top.

100 hour work weeks is not an effective way to manage your employees. Lots of studies show that anything past 50 hour work weeks for programmers, entrepreneurs, etc, makes them LESS effective long term (AKA they do more during 50 hour weeks than they do in 60 hour weeks).

As someone who's worked close to 100 hour weeks I know how damn stupid it is, and how much you can get done in 4 hours if you're rested and able to focus. 100 hour work weeks is bad planning, nothi...

Omg get over it. He's done great for Canada, so if you could stop getting triggered over that one dumb thing he said that'd be real nice

"effectively"
Yeah, yeah except it says exactly not that. It says "don't buy it", not "ban it"

No, the right-wing just figured it could pander to gullible idiots. Time and time again, when it comes to actually protecting games, porn and expression in court, it's the left that is there to defend and right-wingers who are there to attack.

Organizations like ACLU are what's between Trump + Pence and your games.

Take that, regressive right-wingers. Never forget the real threat to speech and culture.

1. Someone is gonna release as misleading screenshot from the game and claim it's been downgraded
2. The game will come out and it will look good anyway

Same happened to GoW and same will probably happen to a bunch of future titles.

"historical revisionism"
Women fought in WW2 and BF is not a credible source of history anyway.

He didn't create more debt than other presidents combined. Only if you don't adjust for inflation or GDP, which you'd know if you had any idea what you were talking about. He consistently lowered deficits after the last Bush budget had the biggest deficit in modern history.

Deficits are now back up under Trump, who is tearing down the progress he made, and destabilizing the economy Obama rescued.

Republicans destroy and destabilize. Democrats...

"Trump" "Future president West"
Maybe the world wouldn't go to shit if kids could tell a decent hard-working person like Obama apart from idiotic narcissistic celebrities like Kanye and Trump.

"maybe people don't want to play as female"
That's not a controversy you nut. That's just those people, who have a weird issue. Red Dead Redemption wouldn't be a controversy just because you didn't want to play a western game.

Agreed in every single way. Always thought that moderators and content on this page is horrid. It has a certain addicting quality to it, but that's really it. Would like more actual news, less people exploiting cosplay thumbnails for clicks.

If you're not deeply plugged into Nintendo, this is how you're likely to perceive Nintendo. TP's Meta-score is inflated by Nintendo sites that apparently never play games on other consoles.

Like "Switch Player"
"Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze is as impressive now as it was back in 2014."
Eh no. It feels like a remaster of PS2-era game.

And "Nintenderos"
"Neither is a regular platform...
