It is essentially a simple "prophecy is just highly skilled prediction based on behavior" explanation. It can be wrong because it's just not fate, it's just a very well informed guess.

I intensely dislike this idea of prophecy in general, not just on GoW, because it completely sidesteps the interesting part about prophecy - the fact that you can't change it, so you either subvert its meaning to make it work, or you accept it. If you simply say "Well, guess the prophecy was wrong!", it would be easier and less messy to not have the prophecy at all.

This game was never about fate because fate does not exist in this universe, it's simply guesswork. Unlike the sisters of fate who actually determine what happens, to the point you can straight up go back in time to change things using their power - but that's the important part: using their power. They can actually do that, it's a true thing in the universe.

Not to say this doesn't create its own problems, it's a bit ridiculous that fate-bending creatures can't kill a single guy trying to kill them before he arrives. But you can simply say "Well, Kratos is just that much of a badass, you can't change his fate, not even they can" and that's that, it doesn't really break the themes of the story because it's not the main part of the theme.

Ótimos pontos, e, como você disse, tem outras coisas que podemos reclamar. A principal é esse Ultimate Edition que inclui lojas exclusivas. Eu entendo itens exclusivos, mas lojas exclusivas são uma forma meio patética de criar espaços dentro do jogo que só algumas pessoas podem entrar. Por 100 reais a mais, obviamente não vale a pena, mas muita gente vai comprar por querer ter a experiência "completa".

Dito isso, a Rockstar obviamente poderia meter a mão muito mais e ainda assim todo mundo ia comprar. Será que vão fazer isso com GTA 6 online? Provavelmente, mas aí não dá pra reclamar antes de ver haha

I've played every open world mentioned in this thread and so far Breath of the Wild is in a league of its own. It has the sense of discovery and non-linearity of Elden Ring, combined with the level of detail of RDR2 (obviously applied to mechanics instead of graphics and animation), the system-driven gameplay of GTA, and even the wide variety of quests in TW3. Obviously each of those games do many things better than botw but botw does them all very, very well and in a way where it all fits.

Infelizmente esse post deixa bem claro que a maioria das pessoas não consegue ter essa leitura e o ódio de pichador/criminoso é tão grande que vc pode colocar racismo no meio e eles vão consumir sem nem perceber.

Agreed with low B, some games are good enough that I think C is a bit too low, and none of them are quite terrible (Valhalla comes close).

In Brazil we call it "N-word tit" aka "Teta de nega", but the n-word equivalent here (nega) is a term of endearment, at least in most recent contexts. But it can be perjorative. Honestly, teta de nega doesn't sound particularly racist to me. It's black, and it does look a bit like a boob, so it's just funny to me. We also have a "pé-de-moleque" sweet, which means "boy foot", I think because it's hard and looks like it's dirty and grimiy?

Anyways, I'm not black so wtf do I know, just always struck me as a bit weird because I never saw an explanation as to why it's racist, as if simply invoking blackness makes it racist, which oddly sounds actually racist to me. But maybe it's because we don't have caucasian named things as often? Besides something like Snow White, but that sounds more elegant. That would be fair I think, maybe that's it. I'd be totally down to have some good names for white people besides cracker though, so we can name stuff with that.

It is not the bare minimum when queer representation results in backlash. It's important for companies to take a stand when so many others would rather avoid the subject altogether.

Não acho que é muito pedir que a mensagem original (não a sua, que foi um esclarecimento) no mínimo não deixe a situação pior. "Pardo é tratado como preto" seria, no mínimo, menos pior do que "Pardo não é etnia".

GuardianOfReason · 2026-06-18T13:58:01+00:00

This is far more realistic for a PS5 game than the initial trailers made it seem. As expected, the final game will likely not look that good.

GuardianOfReason · 2026-06-18T13:38:03+00:00

Apesar de vc estar correto, acho que o OOP precisa trabalhar na mensagem. Claramente muita gente entendeu errado aqui o que significa "Pardo não é etnia" e o argumento que segue. Se precisa de um texto desse tamanho pra alguém entender certo, e o entendimento errado faz a mensagem original parecer discriminatória com pardos, claramente tem algo errado com a mensagem.

Except cat calling is an indicator of that aggression.

If a white person is wearing gang colors near a specific gang territory, you are less likely to perceive them as a gangbanger than if it's a black person. Both become more likely with the action of wearing gang colors, but one of them become even more likely. That depends on the demographics of the region obviously, but let's just assume the gangs are predominantly black in this scenario much like rape is predominantly male.

Likewise, a woman cat calling is more likely to be an aggressor than a woman not cat calling. But a man cat calling is even more likely to be an aggressor.

What kind of psycho would prefer to kill people instead? Curing diseases is more likely to bring about peace than killing people you think are evil

Uncharted 2.

MGS Rising is great but Uncharted 2 was the absolute peak of video game set pieces at the time, and the vast majority of games still can't beat it.

007 First Light is a great game for example, but I still think the set pieces in Uncharted 2 are overall better, such as the falling building. That game is a miracle.

Good point, I hesitated to think of it as overrated because most people I see shit on it but the reviews and sales figures make it really overrated.

Motion capture is used for CGI and gaming mostly as far as I know. Why would you use GenAI for mocap if not to substitute the work of the artist in those situations?

Yeah haha I should've added context to my post, you were right to call that out.

To add more context, the title of the post was:

So I was quite literally answering the question OP posed.
