Off Topic Discussion Megathread

Lol apparently the demon form in Lost Ark is meant to actually have your characters skin color but in AGS '' version '' they made it grey...............
And everything your character wears is black in it so it's all black + grey skin and hair o_o.

It looks absolutely awful and was the reason why I didn't go with Shadowhunter even tho I was set on playing it, you spend A LOT of time in demon form and it just looks bad can't even see my character...
AGS is really intent on screwing the game up they just can't help themselves huh?

Apparently they're also deleting threads about it and banning people for talking about it -_-......

The Will Smith thing seemed like a man boiling over after becoming the butt of every joke, from his Wife to others. Infidelity and being a laughing stock can do that.

He actually laughed at the joke himself which made it more bizarre.
You can see him laugh and then he looked over to his wife and saw she was mad and decided to go up and slap Chris.

I admit it; 「コタローは1人暮らし」 (Kotaro Lives Alone) on Netflix made me cry in numerous places.

(yes, random out of the blue comment, I know)

Don't worry, large chunks of this thread are random comments I feel.



Kind of regretting purchasing this because SQEX flipping these for way too much money (and entering them in game awards as if they're new titles!) is scummy IMO. But, I hate pirating. My skin crawls when I visit websites with libraries of pirated games. They're probably doing a better job preserving vintage titles and making them playable, agreed. But sorry.

FFVI looks like it had the most work put in it, but hearing about its difficulty being higher even from the original put me off it. I rage-quit the original years ago, don't want to do it again.

I watched him back when I played WoW and started watching again when he began ARR.
It's pretty funny how his attitude has gone from '' this is going to be awful and a weirdo weeb game '' to '' it's the best RPG I've ever played ''.

Honestly tho I think it's kinda sad how many people have that mentality he had at first to a lot of Japanese games.
People are quite uptight about it often times imo and are very close-minded to stuff and trying new things.

Edit: His FC adds so much to the entertainment too, they do a really great job at adding a lot of fun to the stream.
I like how they all have their own thing going on especially the janitor lol.
The new years eve stream was hilarious too.

If he's this mad around March, I'm afraid to see him around August.

If anything, he's pretty much flushed what's left of his cool points down the toilet (Save for a few but there's always those people). Never mind the fact that he was laughing at the joke before he got "Yes Dear"-ed, the fact that Jada has no problems clowning him pretty much sealed his fate as a laughingstock.

True. But it is also somehow a fault of the SQEX's marketing, that the people thought this. The streamers showed the crowd how the game really is.

Not sure what you mean honestly.
Even so tho, I think the marketing is quite honest for what the game is.
Mostly I think people just make assumptions '' cuz Japan '' and because it's not Western.

People are kinda shallow about it tho, a lot of people will look at a game like Guilty Gear Rev 2, Skullgirls or Blazblue and think '' weeb game '' but then they'll look at Mortal Kombat as the '' real and mature hardcore fighting game ''.
Anyone who has played these games know how full of shiet that take would be and it seems to mostly be a Western mentality.
Somehow Smash gets more acceptance too.

It's the same with stories in games, I just can't sympathize with people who will write games like the Drakengard games and Nier Replicant and Automata off because of the character designs.
To me it's just kinda sad if someone needs the presentation to be like The Last of Us or something in order to take it seriously and very limiting to the media.
People are obviously entitled to like and dislike what they want but when they act like their personal opinions means something about the game and that there's nothing to it then I think they're kinda just being stupid.
Or like if someone can take the story in Mortal Kombat seriously regardless of the constant retcons every game and with the marketing 99% revolving around comedic levels of gore some of which was literally conceived through crayon drawings as the original concept.
But then they can't take FFXIV or Automata seriously, to me that's pretty ridiculous and sad.

I think a lot of people are just yelling '' weeb game '' because it's '' different '' and they're pretty intolerant and close-minded to things even just a little out of their comfort zone.

I mean, the SQEX's marketing department should notice this, that many people thought, that FF14 is a weeb game. In this case, they should have start some countermeasures against it. But they did nothing. Maybe they did not notice it or they did not care or they thought, that the game trailers are enough. But in all those cases it was a fault. I bet, Asmongold alone brought more new players to the game than SQEX's marketing department.


And the game is not very different. I came the first time in contact with the game in the ARR beta. And i did not like it because it was way too similar to WoW WotLK, which i also did not like. And i hated the long GCD. So i thought, that SQEX has created another WotLK clone (and there were maaaany WoW clones at the time) and i was not interested anymore.

I came back with Shadowbringers because the game reviews were very good.
