Why is Seymour Krelborn from Little Shop of Horrors in a Metroid game?

That one woman who says “I hate this fucking song.” I have no idea who she is, but you give off that energy and it’s great. You used that clip in a few of your videos.

Alternatively, maybe Elphaba or character that is caring, intelligent, and also takes no shit from anyone.

You’re actually in for a pretty good time. Inazuma Eleven is a really fun watch. I do recommend watching it in Japanese with subtitles though. Not a fan when dubs Americanize character names unless they’re smart enough. See Phoenix Wright and Mega Man Battle Network.

Only to discover they’re talking about soccer.

(I think video game writers would make better stuff if they read more books too)

I think more video game people should read books. I think they would like books.

I love video games. I love books. I started War and Peace a few months ago and got through Part 1 of Volume 1. I should continue reading it when I have a moment.

Honestly, I would love to see more novelizations of video games. Or novels that are connected to video games (See Final Fantasy.)

What kind of aliens were they? Little green men? Xenomorphs? Or the Predators?

Hamazaki Has To Goh - where does Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio draw the line on casting, and why is it not at sexual assault? A look at the bizarre decision to cast Teruyuki Kagawa's in Yakuza Kiwami 3, through a lens of previous re-casting decisions from RGG Studio.

"it’s particularly insulting and disgusting for him to be cast in a series that has historically featured sex pests being (rightly) beat up"

my latest is out for skybox!!! 💜

the casting of teruyuki kagawa in yakuza kiwami 3 is not only disgusting in itself, but also ridiculous in its hypocrisy considering rgg's past recasts and the series. i feel, and write, very strongly about it

please read, i think this is some of my best work 💜

Fan games, most likely. Maybe some fan series.

My crackpot wish would be someone attempting to make a musical adaptation of the series, but I wouldn’t wish that particular hell on anyone either. So, there’s a contradiction for ya.

It’s up to you in the end, and I will be happy either way (I have been wanting to play through those games myself). However, I don’t want you to force yourself through potential burnout of either the series, or just making videos in general.

GC, this is both the worst and best idea you’ve ever had. On the one hand, this allows for variety and might lead to not having as much burnout for either series. On the other hand, they’re all RPGs. RPGs are long. Except for Battle Network. Those average around 20 hrs give or take. At least until 3

Analyzed RGG Studio’s social media activity the past month. #REMOVEKAGAWA is ABSOLUTELY having an effect. Whatever you do, don't give up.
- Post activity down 71% (now 62%) after the movement started (not charted)
- Kiwami 3 promos down 94% (now 80%) after the movement started

A comparison of Pierre Taki as Kyohei Hamura in Judgment and the new, original model for Hamura after he was recast, captioned: “Pierre Taki Recast in 15 Days Following Scandal “March 17, 2019: Pierre Taki is arrested on suspicion of drug use. Sega announces it is halting sales of Judgment. “March 22, 2019: Sega announces it is replacing Pierre Taki’s likeness and performance in the West. “April 6, 2019: Nagoshi states the replacement process is complete. “June 25, 2019: Judgment releases with no delays four months after the scandal.” The cover of Metaphor: ReFantazio and a photo of Toru Furuya, captioned: “Toru Furuya Recast in 6 Weeks Following Scandal “May 22, 2024: Toru Furuya admits to abusive affair on social media as reported earlier the same day. “June 11, 2024: Sega announces it is replacing Furuya’s performance in Metaphor: ReFantazio. “July 6, 2024: Sega reveals the recast actor, Takehito Koyasu. “October 11, 2024: Metaphor releases with no delays six months after.”

Different circumstances, but this is how much time Sega took to recast actors over scandals in the past. #REMOVEKAGAWA

I knew the guy did a lot of things. I didn’t realize political activism was one of them. That actually increases my respect for the man. I shouldn’t be too surprised from the guy who wrote Mother 3.

I somehow always forget that Shigesato Itoi, creator of Mother/EarthBound, has been arrested numerous times for protesting against police brutality and for progressive changes to the establishment in Japan's government.

Makes that cop battle scene in the early game hit different, huh?

Well, he’s dead now. And thank fuck for it.

Cool

Yo, congrats. Can’t wait to see it Friday.

Is this Aiba? Or someone else? It kinda looks human fanart of Amaterasu from Okami. But I am pretty sure this is Aiba.

Just for quick examples, I like Persona 1’s themes, story, and characters, but I dislike the gameplay. It feels like a job I should be getting paid for. It’s not fun. It’s work. And it actively harms a game I actually have a lot of appreciation for.

have identified why I don’t like certain things. Now, enjoyment is a bit different, I find I am capable of enjoying a lot of things and very rarely dislike media as a whole. I try to identify what works and what doesn’t work for me. I could write essays on this stuff if I wanted to.

I can easily dictate why I dislike certain things even in art people generally like. Hell, there are pretty dig dislikes in things I like and enjoy. I tend to like a lot of things for complex reasons that I love to dissect. But I am only able to recognize it because I have seen bad media, and I

I have so many questions I don’t want the answer to.

RGG Studios released the Japanese trailer for Yakuza Kiwami 3. And the comments are flooded with #RemoveKagawa. Glad to see the fanbase has some standards after all. I still doubt anything will be done. But it is getting to a point where ignoring it just going to be death knell for the studio.

It suits you really well. I feel like I would be both impressed with your fit, and maybe a little afraid at the same time.

The only game I would argue outright replaces the OG game is Dead Space, and even then, I would argue that you can still play it.

I have, at least with my current memory, not really held the opinion that the remake ruins the OG, or its worst than the OG. I actually have a few controversial takes regarding a couple of remakes of certain series being better than the OG, but also withhold that the OGs are still worth playing.

I am someone who’s been usually okay with remakes, and more often that not, my takes are either, this remake is better than the OG like with Resident Evil 1, 4, and Dead Space. (Don’t at me), or this game is as good as the original, like with FF7 (I know, it’s contentious), RE3 and 2, and SH2R.
