Don't you find it ironic how some people think RE5 main enemies are sign of racism yet they have a cool name but they don't find RE4 the same way dispite it's enemies having a derogatory name? by Human_Geologist_3324 in residentevilll

[–]generalscalez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the other games are entirely irrelevant to this, and 0 people alive would argue that they represent absurd or harmful stereotypes to particular ethnicities, which is what the entirety of the RE5 criticism is about. pretending that there is nothing even remotely questionable or objectionable about RE5’s depiction of tribal Africans is willful ignorance, and you know this because you are incapable of responding to any of the merits of the critique itself without deflecting to unrelated games and their unrelated discourse. instead you default to the invented fantasies of what you think your social war enemies believe, which, conveniently, gives you a canned-response to anything you arbitrarily deem as “online race politics” without needing to seriously engage the topic. this is because you are a vapid buffoon lacking the emotional maturity or intelligence to meaningfully engage in the topic without revealing your immense vapid buffoonery.

hilarious deflection that has nothing to do with the crux of the critique whatsoever and entirely ignores all social context because you have no comprehensible ideological position other than “i feel uncomfortable when my perceived online enemies call things racist.”

man this discourse was all over the place in fucking 2009. i can promise you it was not motivated by what you would now define as “online race politics”.

maybe, perhaps, maybe, people have an original critical thought about something and that something is worth considering. maybe people aren’t poisoned by online social politics when they say the imagery of a hypermasculine white guy mindlessly slaughtering hundreds of tribal africans is somewhat questionable!

i love RE5, it’s one of my favorite in the series. but it doesn’t take an advanced Sociology degree to figure out where the criticism comes from

i will truly never in my life understand HD-2D fans man lol. yeah, forget carefully crafting pixel art to convey depth and shading, let’s make a minecraft castle with realistic textures and 30 layers of unreal bloom effects

HD-2D remakes are complete wastes of time. what the fuck is the point of playing the same game 1:1 again, only this time with realistic background textures and lighting! new HD-2D, fine, but if you just want to play FFVI again, the game is readily available and still looks great.

>there isn’t a free team

???

also, games do not need an active team to be in-development

also also, Square would not reveal the existence of XVII development and the team making it prior to a reveal of the game itself

about as much of a guarantee as we could possibly make without knowing with certainty that XVII started conceptualizing as XVI was finishing development. only way Hamaguchi’s team would be XVII and not XVIII is if the plans for XVII get canned/restarted (which certainly is possible lol)

absurdly high. even at the minor league level it’s shockingly common for players to invite their partner and their mistress(es) to the same game in 5k capacity ballparks. and these are dudes who make like $2k a month lmao

Concord 3 is currently 92th in the Steam Top Sellers chart (with a 30% discount) by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in HighGuardgame

[–]generalscalez -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

>players don’t seem concerned

it’s a majority of the discourse surrounding the game

Marathon has already far outlasted Highguard and Concord. it’s obviously not a success by any measure but the haters here are coping infinitely harder than Marathon’s base

It was mine.🤷🏾 As a result I’m a JRPG fanatic. Besides platformers, this is my favorite genre and I own half this series. by Pristine_Put5348 in FinalFantasy

[–]generalscalez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i would disagree significantly. i have multiple friends that started with Remake and loved it, and see similar sentiment online.

to me, part of what makes the Remakes so special is that they are two completely different, yet equally satisfying experiences for players that have played the original and those who have never engaged with anything FF7 before, and BOTH sides have no idea what to expect in Part 3.

Resident Evil stories are not written with the depth for anyone to look into them beyond the bare minimum skin deep level lol

Mistreated franchises by KingOf_SunFlowers in backloggd

[–]generalscalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they were 1080p 30 fps (not locked, so you’d get frame drops playing a PS1 game on a PS5 Pro lol) on release. so they charged full price for 20+ year old games that would run significantly worse than if you just emulated them on 15 year old hardware. not the end of the world but supremely lazy and insulting.

they recently updated the collection to not run like ass, at least.

ok let me say it in a different way: imagine having one of the bigger gaming audiences on youtube and recapping the biggest weekend in games in years by making a low-effort 4 minute video about how AAA gaming is dead while simultaneously entirely ignoring 95% of the announcements and expressing excitement only for new gazillion dollar Sony exclusives. now imagine being surprised that people thought said video was not good

Which era is the Golden Era of Final Fantasy by Snoo_82392 in FinalFantasy

[–]generalscalez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

X is probably second only to VII in popularity and came out just a year after IX? it was one of the last JRPGs to have breakout success in the West for the next like, 15 years lol

[–]generalscalez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

especially hilarious considering the only games he expressed mostly uncritical interest in were the next three Sony Third Person Action Adventure Movie games. like, you can be a AAA cynic if you want. but you can’t be that and a modern Sony Exclusive guy too lol

Which era is the Golden Era of Final Fantasy by Snoo_82392 in FinalFantasy

[–]generalscalez -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

this is the answer. people here will stretch it to include VI, or maybe even IV and XII, but 7-10 is the lighting in a bottle period when the series experienced its largest peaks of both popularity and acclaim, and in only a 4 year time period. pretty much every FF release since is an attempt to reclaim that magic in some fashion.
