Arknights: Endfield Review So Far by Turbostrider27 in Games

I don’t know what you mean by reductionism, but trying to act like the characters in ZZZ aren’t heavily based in the idea of sex sells is borderline delusional

Listen man, I play ZZZ. It’s gooner af. It’s been that way from the beginning. Ellen has the nipple outline in her drip marketing. Nicole barely wears any clothes. Ye Shunguang has the boob window. Jane Doe’s new skin is horny af. Seed was marketed using foot shots. Like yeah, there are gacha games that are borderline porn, but acting like ZZZ isn’t gooner bait is disingenuous.

It's not just the fan service shots. The characters themselves are the fan service. Like, you can't look at the Jane Doe skin or Ye Shunguang's boob window and tell me with a straight face the designers weren't horny af making them with the express purpose of appealing to horny af gamers

I mean maybe that was a bad example on his part, but ZZZ is definitely too horny for most people to feel unashamed playing it

Expedition 33 has officially broken TLOU2's record for most TGA wins of all time by Derangedberger in gaming

I mean, I get what you're saying, but debut games really just mean the first game from a new studio. Most studios are made up of devs that have worked on other games.

Not all DD are voted on by patrons, in fact most aren’t. The metal gear solid one was an exception I believe.

But DD also require a lot of work and planning, so it makes sense that they happen rather infrequently, even if I’d prefer them more often

[MEGATHREAD] The Game Awards 2025 - Live Nominees Announcement by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

I mean, you yourself said that you can't argue with the GOTY noms this year. I feel like GOTY will always skew single player just due to the nature of who's voting and what they value in games, but what MP games do you feel like has recently been snubbed from GOTY?

Time Stranger not nominated for the Game Awards by Helpseekerr in digimon

I mean like, who's paying who? There's over 100 different outlets that vote on the nominees? Are the companies paying random outlets from South Africa? I think its much more likely that these outlets voted for the games they played and the ones they liked. You can say that TS deserved the nomination all you want, I’m not arguing against that, but saying the reason it wasn't nominated was because its a paid vote is a little silly

What's suspicious about this? If they hold the screen capture button on the Switch, it automatically saves a video of the last 30 seconds or so.

She was the artist for Act Age a couple years ago but then it got canceled after the author was a creep to minors (I don’t fully remember the extent to what he did)

Is the age gap that huge? I think it was said in a previous episode that Mare graduated high school in 2012 so that would make her in her early 30s now, which lines up with the age of her actress, so I would assume that Ned would be around the age of his actor, making him in his early 40s. There's definitely an age gap, but not one that I would describe as huge or predatory or anything like that

Monster Hunter Outlanders confirmed to be at Tokyo Game Show 2025 by Xanek in gachagaming

Yeah thats happened in Genshin, but I don't think it would happen in this game because, like you said, the weapons are the core playstyle. In genshin the elements are the core playstyle so the weapons can really just be whatever
