If I were Glitch then all the advertisement for Knights of Guinevere would be just the disney-esque parts. This would be a terrible idea.
I'd like to see a musou game that didn't try to go all in on content and RPG grind. Fact they have always been about excess means many write them off. But you can make groups of enemies effective units that fill roles, level design that pushes interaction, character kits that don't dominate
Sonic fans ran out of good parts of the series to argue about a few years back, so now you'll just hear about wars breaking out over sonic 4 ost vs boom ost
As is usual with Square titles, I question quality of this port

Everything I've read on Wolverine and its relation to games/the industry really exposes how bad most are about talking about gameplay. You can ramble on what be games? But its like talking about why a film failed, all while avoiding the obvious point of the actors clearly weren't given a script.
Completeness may not seem like a mistake in stories, but it leads to the idea the end state of a moral imperative Like the assumption all romance stories must end in a relationship. To not is rejecting the pair, sexuality and reader's worth. Its not. That's as true for a character beating a bad guy
Ichi the Witch is turning a bit hype moments and aura, but women. Which is cool, men get to do it all the time. But it does amount to character actually where way more powerful than they thought so yay. Mugi get big canon is a fun, but curing her inferiority complex by actually being superior is eh.
Been thinking about what Dynasty Warriors should do next. Stuck doing remakes might send it back to a rut, I'd take 8's port being touched up. Origins 2 is a decent idea, tho most changes people want are just make this really 10. The problem with 10 is how do you expand it to be something special?

It's a bad habit to diagnose all the issues with a company just cause some news came out. But sometimes you hear stuff and go oh that adds up a bit too well.
Hard to get over those insisting there is little to no company structure, by very clearly enforcing the structure.

If you're rightly horrified by this, worth considering how normalised demanding a game changes to your preferences is. If phrased "what if AI removed parts you dislike of [popular game] so you could still experience the world?" The only differences from left coded augments here is water pollution.
Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 4d agomaybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me
Harry Potter being dead, and Harry Potter making a big comeback are both likely reaches. I doubt it will ever see the same level of interest again. But it's in the atmosphere, enough entities want to profit off it and nostalgia is hard to kill. However, seen more kids with Sonic backpacks than HP.
Feel like anime use to get re-evaluated more, but the increase in availability and so much focus on being in the current conversation killed the need. Gems stay hidden.

Ep 16 of Twin Peaks The Return is an incredible use of nostalgia to blind you from tragedy. 3 women have their lives torn apart, all with some relation to Cooper. But oh he's up and being funny. Don't worry, he'll fix it and then we'll all go back to Twin Peaks. Coop the hero pushes out everything.
With the success of so many emulation handhelds, feels like a missed opportunity not to just keep making old ones. Most people will lazily prefer official even if emulation is better. This is how the Vita makes a comeback, it isn't too late!

I absolutely understand why people find G-Reco's dialogue confusing, but I personally love how character's constantly talk past each other. Communication often is about trying to steer through what you half think someone said. Its a real trust the show, the little pieces add up eventually.
Modding can be very cool, but for a while I've grappled with the impact on internationality in games. Iteration in art is not new, though why changes are made means something. So the AI mod trend is no surprise to me. Its the easiest way to remove intention and pump out self satisfaction.
Really don't care for the "AI is okay cause imagine it under communism" arguments. Bit like imagine if cars all ran on hope, like actually I'm not sure of the full consequences of that but more importantly right now they very much do not.
Having a hill to die on is good for the soul
Witchy Annie 🏳️⚧️ 🔞@possmom.bsky.social · last wk."JK Rowling is already a billionaire and everyone already knows about Harry Potter, what's the point of boycotting?" Nobody thinks boycotting will bankrupt her. We know she's gonna die rich. We're just asking you to show a shred of solidarity with trans folk. Absolute low bar bare minimum shit.

Romance of the 3 Kingdoms makes Cao Cao's failures due to pride and belligerence so compelling its almost a shame that IRL he was so successful.
The psychology of game updates seems under explored. A lot of self worth is put in the game/character/mechanic/etc they like most being next to get touched up. More than getting new content to chew on, its the gamble of being proven you picked well. Or like all gambling the thrill of losing.
An episode called "Sounds of a Newtype" which has no other mentions of the word except in the title. A Newtype is killed by another Newtype and there's no connection, there is just a sad cold feeling. Being a Newtype doesn't mean anything. It doesn't change anything about you.
