It's nice seeing Japanese and Chinese commenters being chummy with each other in comment sections about this game

日本人と中国人は114514で分かりあう事が出来る それを忘れてはいけない

What's less nice is seeing Japanese and Chinese people also talking about Ubisoft "disrespecting Japanese culture"

 

While looking into this game I immediately noticed gamers trying to turn it into another front of the culture war by pitting it against the new AC game with the black samurai.

"See, Ubisoft? This is what REAL respect for REAL Japanese culture looks like," they say smugly while gesturing towards a game set in the United States that's a deliberately over the top and silly mashup of 80s and 90s Japanese pop culture and zombies in a ridiculous alt history premise made by a Chinese studio who explicitly said they are constructing the game purely out of stereotypes.

Who cares that Yasuke was an actual historical figure? This game has a replica of the inside pool that thousands of Japanese pornos were filmed at so-true

I hope the game doesn't get too co-opted by these people though, it looks a bunch of genuinely delightful garbage and is the first time in ages I've actually wanted to try a game that's coming out.

Also it's funny to see gamers now calling China and Chinese developers based after games like this and Black Myth Wukong. We're like one Chinese game with big anime boobs in it away from every gamer declaring their undying loyalty to the CCP deng-salute

I feel we had a ton of those here in the 2010s, then for the past 4 or 5 years there's been a surprising amount of snow. It's still warmer than it used to be though.

Going on walks on frozen sea ice used to be a thing. It was fun walking to islands

 

I love biking through sleet and getting my pant legs wet agony

TLDW: Moon Channel posits that the lawsuit isn't about ripping off Pokemon designs or even gameplay patents, but Nintendo trying to slap down Sony whom they see as muscling in on their territory by trying to capitalise on Palworld with merchandise, anime, etc

DAII was different since it happened to have one of the first online gamer hate campaigns directed towards it and its writers

Gamer types have hated Dragon Age for gamer reasons since Dragon Age II

I haven't played it myself yet (I definitely want to at some point though I suspect SH2R would make my computer burst into tears, then flames), but from what I have read and seen it's definitely a worthwhile horror experience. The major complaint I have seen about it is that some people feel the game is a bit bloated compared to the original. The new game is apparently a 16-20 hour game whereas the original would take about 8 hours on your first playthrough. I have played the original and I'm happy with how the story and cutscenes have been handled. The actors did a great job

This gooner phrenology shit about women's jaw shapes and bemoaning "the destruction of femininity" is a relatively recent development though. It wasn't a thing when Gamergate started 10 years ago

 

For all the noise gamers, gooners and grifters made about Angela's face looking distractingly ugly, fat, masculine or just vaguely "weird," literally no one I've seen playing the game for the first time has noticed any of these supposedly blindingly obvious qualities. Just goes to show how this shit is just mass peer-inforced self-hypnosis

Sometimes you see streamers reading comments in their chat from gamers complaining about how ugly she looks and they're just confused

Also Silent Hill, and especially Silent Hill 2 are a big deal, and Alan Wake was not going into AW2

 

Dungeon Chill is back with another 1 hr+ long review mere weeks after the last one!

I played Rule of Rose earlier this year and I recommend you grab a ROM and give it a shot. It's got an incredible soundtrack and an emotionally effective story that had me legit sniffling in the end.

Sadly the gameplay is severely clunky and undercooked even by PS2 survival horror standards which might prove too much of a barrier for many

I see shit like this and I get similar feelings to an HP Lovecraft protagonist peering through a bush at slavering cultists performing some kind of hideous ritual

We ladies must look desirable; the fashion styles changed to accentuate my hips and my tits, my baby making parts.

Bring back ostentatious codpieces for the dudes

 

The shemaghs I got were labeled "PLO-Tuch," German for "PLO scarf" data-laughing

I assume wearing one in Germany gets you life in prison

I didn't even mean to say Yakuza was "GTA but good" just that it has a completely different set of priorities and emphasises different things

 

This commenter provided some really interesting context:

I could obviously never pick up on these sorts of details when I played the game since I don't speak Russian but it's cool to see Rockstar put in some serious effort in their NPC dialogue.

Also "They are strangers here." ussr-cry

 

His company name even had Super Mario in it data-laughing

No photos because I'm not a cop, but full support for this guy for appropriating Nintendo IP 07

 

I've been playing GTA Online again after a couple of years away and the game chat is absolutely brimming with casual Russophobia. GTA Online has always been a giant trash fire due to the toxic nature of the game and the fact that the vast majority of its players are children and maladjusted adults, but it's interesting to notice how hostile Europeans have become to Russian players, randomly calling them orcs or animals and asking them why they haven't been sent to die in Ukraine yet.

Of course, because everyone playing the game is an asshole, most of the Russian comebacks are snide remarks about Europe having a lot of African immigrants, but it's almost always NATO-brained Westerners picking fights with players with Russian names and not the other way around.

I'm sure the situation is very similar in most other multiplayer games, but to me it's interesting how Russians have taken the place Chinese players used to hold in GTA some years back before they were region-locked into their own servers as otherised enemies whom you vomit random talking points you picked up on the news at

 

Takes some gumption to even touch a notorious broken flop like that

 

There's something about all these millennial and younger gamer chud culture warrior diphits smugly cosplaying as Christians that just fucking irks me

 

I'm surprised to hear this since from what I recall the publisher forced Creative Assembly to continue the series in some sort of mobile slop format instead which then predictably fizzled out
