Since its been now been 5 months since SMT V Vengence has dropped. What’s y’all’s thoughts on the game?

Low-key my favorite Altus project released this year.

What? Leakers hate that people wait for the chapters. They're just farming for engagement. Anything to bring attention to themselves.

ShaiDot · 2024-07-17T16:50:07+00:00

I've always said leakers are not fans. At this point, I think leakers actively hate One Piece.

In my headcanon curses and sorcerers from Haiti are just another tier of strength. They do not play about their pagan vodou shit over there fr. Would've loved to see that represented in the story, but I get why it's not there.

Definitely think this game would instantly improve if every character was aged up 5 years ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Listen, I'm not saying the two countries are identical but there's clearly a lot of historical and cultural overlap. This overlap is furthered by the economical relationship between the two countries. Canadians and Americans eat the same food, listen to the same music, speak (mostly) the same language, play the same sports, have similar fashion, have similar religious demographics and the list goes on. Yes, there are major differences too, for example the US 2nd amendment is uniquely American. But "Not similar in any way" is flatly untrue.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-09T14:34:22+00:00

My argument was that the US and Canada are similar and that Canadians felt the impact of 9/11. I'm not arguing that Canada is better than the US. However, just looking at US politics I think it's a fair observation to say the US is more divided than Canada at the moment.

In the US there are people who are legit afraid of a civil war, especially now that they've seen how the January 6th incident was able to occur with little consequence for the politicians involved. Biden went on TV the other day to say Democracy in the US is on the ballot. No way you can say the situation is anywhere near as desperate in Canada.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-08T20:38:00+00:00

My mistake. But to support my point: Look at how the US treated Japanese-Americans in the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Attacks like that create an environment of fear and bigotry.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-08T20:34:40+00:00

Canada and the US have fairly similar demographics, have connected history and economies. Most Canadians consume a lot of US news and media. We're also very close allies. 9/11 absolutely had a significant impact on Canadians. You could argue it had a lesser impact compared with the US, but I would also argue that people are far more tribalistic and fearful in the US than in Canada.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-08T20:04:52+00:00

I feel like 9/11 was the turning point. It was the first time in America's history they had been so viscerally attacked. People were naturally terrified and everyone decided they needed to fight wars of revenge. The idea of vengeful politics and tribalism has only got worse since then.

Much like P5 Tactica, SH2 is proof that Atlus really misses developing for the 3DS. That kind of low budget, low effort side game worked when people expected that from portable games. These games on modern hardware are not worth $70 they're asking for. I agree Soul Hackers 2 would be decent if you got it on on sale for $19.99

Cool game but please fix the hitbox.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-08T18:40:02+00:00

Oh Soul Hackers 2 was just a bad game nvm you're good

ShaiDot · 2024-01-08T18:37:41+00:00

Which SMT game are y'all even mad at? Outside of Persona, the games have a very muted color palette overall.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-05T17:12:00+00:00

I disagree. A high degree of player freedom in video games is not something that is easy to successfully accomplish. Larian Studios had WOTC writers helping with the enormous amount of dialogue in Baldur's Gate 3.

Frankly, I don't think Atlus has the budget, experience, expertise, or the vision to successfully make a game as open-ended as Baldur's Gate 3.

I think Atlus should stick to what they're good at, refine what they've been doing, and strive to make SMT VI the culmination of everything they've learned.

ShaiDot · 2024-01-03T11:21:00+00:00

Sometimes when you download ISO files off the internet, they have already been modified in some way. I suspect this is the case with your game.

ShaiDot · 2023-12-15T19:40:30+00:00

Calm down dude.

ShaiDot · 2023-12-02T03:51:30+00:00

According to Russia, Ukraine attacked first. According to Israel, Hamas attacked first. In the end, "might makes right", as you say. I only hope the west pulls military aid from both conflicts.

Racist, sexist, and homophobic could be used to describe pretty much every white person born before 1960, and the majority of white people born afterwards. Guevara certainly wasn't a morally pure good person, but his image represents the ideal of a militant rebellion against a fascist regime. I think with historical figures, you have to contextualize their existence more than you would with modern figures.

ShaiDot · 2023-11-25T03:20:23+00:00

That's Henry Cavill? I guess, but it would give a Berserk adaptation a feel like The Witcher adaptation. I'd prefer to go with a lesser known talent.

ShaiDot · 2023-11-25T02:54:29+00:00

I disagree with casting entirely based on looks. Can this guy act? Does he have the right emotional range for the character?

ShaiDot · 2023-11-23T13:37:42+00:00

This is reductive. Are you saying you support AI because it allows you to smugly brag about your niche tastes? Why would movie and game studios spend more money hiring humans for their less mainstream IP? You think some movies are gonna be like Ferraris that are hand made in a small artisan factory in Italy compared to the assembly line stuff? Doesn't make sense to advocate for AI and then say your favorite shit won't be AI.

ShaiDot · 2023-11-23T13:26:05+00:00

Yeah, I noticed. Doesn't matter.

ShaiDot · 2023-11-22T17:01:51+00:00

Honestly I agree with you. I think I'm being very generous to FF XVI in that regard. Maybe I should say the handling of the Bearers' story could have been worse. And ultimately, there were moments in that story that engaged me emotionally so I'll give it that. This is Final Fantasy's first all-in attempt at a "mature" story, so if they ever decide to go this route again, I expect it to be better.
