not at all, and the notion that they are is pretty stupid
most of them are too simple and too easy, and just throwing in action commands or some convoluted "hit the weakness" system doesn't really do much to make them more complex or anything, despite what people will say

i just want these games to have encounters dangerous enough to justify using and experimenting with the options in my toolkit. grandia has a great battle system but there's very little decision-making when you can just do the same stuff every time. mario rpgs have timing as a mechanic and while it can be fun, there isn't enough variety to the attacks you dodge and sometimes the games can feel like they drag on a bit due to them

I think Persona and smt is great when it comes to weaknesses and resistances

Bruh, the biggest RPG of the year is turn-based

I know, but I keep hearing people say that. Not to mention Sea of Stars being popular and Mario rpg's remake coming soon

Same way they now dismiss any poor reception for any media as "review bombing" instead of legitimate criticism

Let's stop pretending review bombing doesn't happen.

Like, it does memorizes my votes, but I don't give a fuck about E-sports players and can't name a single of them. If I just ignore them, does it takes my votes into consideration?

The fact that millions of people support the orange turd preserve my lack of hope for humanity. People are really disgusting

It seems like the movie has good word to mouth so maybe it will be one of the rare movie that makes more after a while than on release, but tbh I am a bit guilty of superhero fatigue in general, I loved them a few years ago, but the industry is a bit saturated with them.

Could have just left it at "Its funny how the side of "f*** your feelings" is so uptight".
But yeah, it's fun watching them be triggered over every single thing.

I got a friend who used to be fun to hang out with, but now I can barely stand him anymore. He keeps getting triggered all the time about "woke stuff"

It'll be fun when they inevitably don't announce Silksong again and people flip out about that

At this point. I don't think the game exists

Thoughts? Canada is often referred to as a bilingual country

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/8463db91.jpg

Quebec is statistically the safest place in Canada, highest bilingual rate, lower cost of education, has rent control laws that prevent landlord abuse and one of the most lgbt friendly province.

Quebeckers tend to have a strong disdain for religions though and some can be overprotective of the French Language with questionable laws. There's a lot of islamophobia, but if someone who's atheist want to move there. They probably will be happy there.

"Guys popular for his looks claim it makes it harder for him to be popular because of his look'

Most of the good stuff in retro gaming I can think of mostly come from Nintendo or Square Enix

Mario rpg is one of the easiest game I have ever played and people who played it as kids are mot likely in the 25 to 40 age range. I guess they take kids into consideration and want it to be accessible to them, but it's a VERY old game and people who played it younger would like a bigger challenge

Zikten posted...

Why can't every jrpg just come with a standard easy, normal hard mode selection? Why is that so difficult to add in? And I do agree that probably the vast majority of gamers would have rather had hard mode than easy

This. Seriously, would it even be that hard to program? Just make ennemies with higher stats and target Peach more lol

its not that people get more conservative as they get older
its that the next generation leans further left that your old views become more conservative in comparison but your actual belief system doesnt change
you dont go from supporting LGBT people at age 39 to protesting with the westboro church at age 40

That's probably the most accurate way to describe it.

Are they the same studios?

Gamefaqs hates everything

We had bangers of many genres and many great remakes, like actual remakes like Star ocean, not recolored remaster. What would be your best year of gaming?

I was a bit concerned since it has one of my favourite soundtrack, but they did a good job. Forest theme and overworld theme sound awesome

I feel like Landon Rickets. Yeah I could kill ya but there was a time I was so fast time humbles us all.

To be fair though. I feel less competitive drive in general, so maybe that have something to do with me caring less

Who told you it was supposed to - past tense?
They didnt and maybe you misread them or maybe you made it up

Lmao. Google it. Even south park acted like programmers had no jobs anymore

Most people I know really enjoyed it. Like everything popular, the haters are just very vocal about it

It's really fun.

I just wish I could feel hype to the same extreme I did as a kid.

I remember liking Ashton the best. It was so long ago that I don't even remember how to get him

Game is more anticipated than Elden Ring.

Even though Souls games were famous, Elden Ring was still a new IP, not an established one. It takes time for IPs to become as successful as GTA

Not sure what's bad about it? It's a very well known series

To be fair. Tons of artists have political views in their songs.

Well? Aside from Ff tactics, Metal Gear solid of FF7 of course!

i just find it fascinating that here i am, working with the general public and paid to get them intoxicated, and i never witness this level of fandom in the wild, only people bitching about it on the internet.

Obviously not saying there aren't such types out there, but it sure don't seem that commonplace.

Don't worry, it will happen to you(or you will become deaf from their screeching)

And then TC said No, you damn Swifties! And everybody stood up and clapped.

People literally do that in every internet group in the universe when they see her being mentioned

That was not particularly hard to beat

I won't blame you for not believing me

But feel free to writ on google "swities" followed by the word "harassment"

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Most of the annoying fanbase usually are only annoying on the internet, not in real life events

Sorry, but I need to vent. I went to the cinema and some random swifties entered the room and entered our movie room and started singning in the middle or our movie and told her we should go see her movie instead of watching what we are watching

As an atheist, I do not believe in Jesus. However, I do not see him as a Martyr in his stories, I see him as a victim

Quite. Like, not everything has to be a political thing, but at this point it's just a level of utter mental ineptitude that leads to people not getting the vast majority of actually political things in games.

I am pretty sure FFX played of being role of me becoming an atheist tbh

It's an 8/10 with 10/10 highs and 5/10 lows. Loved it.

That is probably the best way to describe the game. Still if you are gonna let me control 1 character, at least give me multiple weapon types

Ivynn posted...

This is true. A lot of political games in the past were not subtle (same with comic books and other media). You were just a kid/teenager then and simply didn't have an opinion on things back then. Now you do, and with how polarized things are, some people just don't want to see opposing viewpoints at all. No doubt some games of the past were released today, people would whine about them being political.

I think people forget that when we were kids, some old people tried to cancel Harry Potter, Pokemon and DND(Probably many others) and before I was born, most 80s bands for being "satanic" lol

ellis123 posted...

They absolutely are not. It's just that there is a non-trivial amount of simple-minded individuals that cannot fathom that something in games that isn't "*insert literal real world thing here* is bad" can actually be related to real world anything. Like, FFVII practically beats you over the head with "stop polluting" and people *still* did not get that it was political. There is just a level of inability to accept that things that aren't the existence of women or minorities is a political thing. There is no "back in the day games were subtle", it's "back in the day people were kids who never actually had a single thought about politics in their head."

Wakka saying typical racist thing to Rikku and justifying it with religion like some people in real life was not subtle.

I think you can argue that their messages might have been more "people can change", but Final Fantasy's allegories are not suble at all

Someone post the you made it political meme

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/2/24fbf16d.jpg

There's many variation of this

PraetorXyn posted...

These illustrate what Im talking about.

AC6s political themes are subtle enough many if not most people wouldnt get them until they were pointed out.

Whereas if the political themes are so obvious they feel like theyre being beaten over the head with them, they feel like they basically just took Trump, changed his name and appearance, and stuck him in a game, or did the equivalent with some other modern politics thing.

Thats the disconnect. Most people dont like the state of modern politics and dont want to think about it or be reminded of it. If theres something where the politics tends to go over their heads, theyll be blissfully ignorant. And may be more respectful of it if a friend points them out. But if they notice, they cant help drawing the parallels to reality, and this harms their suspension of disbelief.

Uhm... FFX was released during a time where religious organisation had tons of scandals

PraetorXyn posted...

The issue is that back in the day, games being political was at least somewhat subtle where you had to think about what was happening for a few seconds to realize it, and it was organic: the games were political because the people creating them wanted them to be. So you just got immersed in it and didnt notice much of the time until looking at it with a critical eye.

Now, lots of times the marketing is focused on the political elements, and consumers have a sense that a lot of it was caused because some greedy executive forced that decision in search of greater profit, which rubs people the wrong way. This affects the ability to get immersed in it as well, which makes it worse.

But yeah, political nowadays basically means diversity for the sake of it. Ive been playing Triangle Strategy which is entirely about politics and difficult choices, but I dont think it would be considered a political game colloquially.

People will just hide the fact that they don't want to see minorities under the "political" tag, it sounds less offensive that claiming they think minorities deserve less media representation
