Ohboyohboyohboy. Loved Rorona, but compared to the later sequels there were some slight issues with balancing and pacing.
Love the potential for the developers to fix this so that I can love Rorona as much as I do Totori and Meruru.
Apparently you mistake bravado for the realities of business.
Even if somehow Nintendo manages to convince the shareholders and board to simply close up shop than make games for other consoles (because all those millionaires would love to just lose their millions, right?), Nintendo's IP would be bought in liquidation and Activision will make a Mario game for the other consoles.
I realise this comment is going to get me dislikes, but regardless of how mu...
You totally missed the point of this article. I never denied that games like Dragon's Crown be art. I was pointing out that the toolbags of the Internet don't seem to understand that if games are art, then if someone wants to be offended because they saw objectification in a game, then they've got every fucking right to argue that.
But noooo, those same toolbags take to the comments and Twitter to abuse the critic and try and shut down the conversation through s...
@plmkoh
Go read the article. People need to stop telling other people to shut up if they choose to hold opinions about games that take games more seriously than brain-dead entertainment for brain-dead and oversexed teenagers and manchildren.
If you believe that games can be art then you can't turn around and tell people to shut up if they choose to have a feminist discussion over games. If you went to a university and started telling everyone in your clas...
"Do we ignore all the sexualization we see everyday in our lives in TV or film or even magazines that are often way more distasteful? But nooooo a drawing of an exaggerated women is much more harmful to society."
Actually those things are a constant topic of academic debate and social criticism.
"If these people do any sort of research that in history females are often sexualized greatly in culture. We have the Venus de milo, Aphrodite emerging...
Apparently you don't understand the difference between "sexism" and "objectification."
The Polygon review wasn't saying that women were being treated unequally. In fact the Polygon review quite explicitly said that the author was impressed that the female characters have agency. The problem was that they were also objectified.
The flaw in the review was in not mentioning the men are also objectified. It's a problem in Dragon&#...
Was this game only just released somewhere? It's been available out this way for over a year.
It's not bad, as B-grade games go.
If that is your joke, it is an awesome one. :D
While I get that Gearbox hit gold with Borderlands, when is the gaming community going to wake up to the fact that the company is so painfully managed by amateurs that it's an embarrassment to our hobby?
We don't need companies run by these people. No matter how creative their output is at times.
After Cavia died I had lost hope to ever see this series again.
After seeing how awesome it looks I'm not too manly to admit I cried a little.
Do game critics not understand there's a difference between the JRPG and the Otaku RPG, and they are made for different groups of people?
And that Hyperdimension Neptunia is largely successful at appealing to the Otaku JRPG market?
Sigh.
@wingman32x great minds think alike etc etc :-)
Haha, you didn't read the article, did you?
Because you just repeated the broad thesis of the article.
Master-H - in terms of the mechanics, it's basically Dynasty Warriors 7, but perfected. The game's differences to DW 7 have more to do with reworking the way the story and battlefields work to better effect.
That said, there is some differences - weapon types are stronger or weaker against certain other weapon types. A bit like the Fire Emblem rock/ paper/ scissors structure, and that adds a bit of tension to the general's duels.
It's like the...
Chip - then the critic has misused "semi-mythical."
Semi-mythical refers to people who historically *probably* existed, but the literature that was written around them attributes them with mystical powers or demi-god status or whatnot to such a point that it's impossible to separate the reality from the fiction.
Achilles and Hector of Troy, for instance, were both likely really people, but they were not the magical Supermen of War that the epic...
You can always tell when a critic only spent 10 minutes playing a DW game before reviewing it.
There ARE big changes in this game, and if you play it on a higher difficulty level it is NOT just hack-and-slash.
Also, the person that wrote this might want to check up on his history, the characters in this game are not semi-mythical. They were real people.
Also note that there are 120 or so countries around the world that are formally registered with the global cricket organisation.
That's a lot of people that care about cricket.
People who can't even spell 'cricket' when it's properly spelled a few hundred pixels above their comment don't have opinions worth reading.
I reckon! Every person that ever dares make a joke at would should totally be fired.
People should try being less sensitive.
Would you pay $40-$60 for a good quality game?
Too few people seem to realise that length can hurt a game. If Studio Ghibli can tell an incredible story in two hours, it boggles the mind that people think that a Studio Ghibli game needs to be 50 hours in length to be any good.
