the JRPGs need More Adults discourse was always bad obviously but it should have been truly dead and buried when FF16 had a 35 year old protagonist that talked more like Luffy than any previous protagonist in the franchise

im glad the government posting halo memes is revealing that half the people reporting on it are fine with it

Clive doing a final fantasy title drop and then doing a 9999 damage QTE punch followed up by him tragically dying made me laugh for ten minutes straight

Insane mood whiplash

>Get Earthbound for the first time ever in 2025
>The world's gone mad
>All the adults are useless at best or trying to kill you at worst
>Everyone talks like a crazy person
>Everything's too expensive
>Your next door neighbor wants to be a dictator
>Get home and start playing Earthbound

damn itagaki died thats wild. he was almost certainly evil but also ninja gaiden black is the greatest game ever made so. mixed bag i suppose. lets all remember him with how he promoted devils third like he was broadcasting terrorist messages from a cave

Dude, the owner of this site spent the last couple days having a meltdown over trans people

anyway. obviously not great news but watching gamers act like taking saudi money is some instant evil that permanently taints you forever while continuing to happily buy xbox games does make me feel a bit crazy. american genocide is ok we can compartmentalise that

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

not only did they do brownface Troy Baker for a fake native american tribe but it was like two years after Assassins' creed 3 had a native american actor playing a native american character

everyone has already got the explicit discourse on this covered so i will simply add its insanely funny to say this as the developer of games where you kill like. ten thousand guys

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer

btw this is DC’s highest profile writer

I died laughing when Jill basically went "here Clive, you can have the resolution to my character arc. you're so cool"

bananza/clair obscur and forspoken/lost soul are basically the good and bad ending of games made by FFXV devs and games inspired by FFXV

Interesting that the director of clair obscure loved XV and cited it as a direct inspiration and that game became acclaimed and sold a ton

here's where my final fantasy tier list stands going into ATB. lotta gut calls in here stuff could move around majorly. i wonder how much replaying them over the next few years among their rpg peers will change the list; i haven't played some in over a decade

seeing posts about how superman is based and anti-israel and all i can think about is this lol

when the BDS boycott started i said microsoft would shut down their entire xbox division before abandoning a single military contract, does not feel good to be proven so correct so fast

i’ve never known a fandom that so constantly gets mad at the fact that people actually talk about the games they like as persona fans. like yeah man. the core themes of the video game are gonna come up pretty regularly

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day

the PS4 almost did PS2 numbers and had multiple first party games over 10m sales and then sony blew it all up cause they thought they'd somehow have fifteen fortnites

Prayers for Joe Biden

I pray that he has a long, agonizing death from cancer. That senile, genocidal piece of shit

If you're over 65 and running for any political position, you're gonna have to take a cognition test

Weird contradiction in how accessibility and inclusion are hot topics in game development right now while the industry is also aggressively pricing out the people who would benefit from those sorts of initiatives

What do you think it would take for Final Fantasy to get mainstream level popularity again? — neospring.org/+r/162264082...

Noctis and prompto are canonical AC fans and Bayek is inadvertently responsible for the events of FFXV by accidentally releasing Ardyn from his Egyptian prison

every sonic unleashed npc: what a nice young man you are you seem very important to the world have a safe adventure our little plot device😊
every sonic 2006 npc: Ive spent twenty years tryubg to claim the world record for stacking apples. I died some time ago and this is my ghost talking to you also

remembering and having a dark laugh at how jeff gerstmann dealing with the nintendo 3ds server shutdown by having to explaining to his daughter why her animal crossing dream islands are all gone forever

no one has won video games as much as guitar hero fans have. it seemed like it was over but they now exist in the exact window of popularity where there's a thriving subculture around free games with endless community charts but not so popular that activision are making an awful live service
