I love that to make sure audiences understood she was in fact the same Sherry from RE2 they made her have the exact same hairstyle as an adult as she did as an 8-year-old

Her personality and status as a super special agent gives me extreme Rebecca Chambers vibes

The tone of the game being so groan-inducingly self-serious makes it difficult for me to enjoy the stupidity. Like the director and writers thought what they made was genuinely awesome and badass.

RE4 (2004) was wonderfully self-aware and over-the-top and then the people behind 5 and 6 didn’t get the ironic bits. It also doesn’t help that 6 doesn’t have a Wesker in it to bring in the cheese

6 also had some questionable stuff involving women, namely the stuff with Helena’s sister and Carla’s weird backstory

I think it’s more about “AA” titles and studios rather than one-person indie games

I miss when you could have an entire franchise subsist off ~100,000 sales per entry

To use another horror franchise as an example, Fatal Frame got 5 games, 1 remake, 1 spinoff and 2 remasters despite selling in the 50-200k range for most entries

Can we just start making PS2 games again? You could make a game in less than two years without needing hundreds of people on staff

I’ve been playing through the Onimusha games and it’s crazy to think Capcom made 3 games, 1 soft reboot, 1 fighting game spinoff and 1 GBA spinoff in 6 years. Inbetween 3 and 4 they also made a completely unrelated game

I forgot the funniest part being that those third-person PS1 Duke Nukem games are huge Tomb Raider ripoffs, shamelessly copying the control scheme and gameplay

There’s an Easter Egg in one of the PS1/N64 Duke Nukem games where what is intended to be a horny Lara Croft calls Duke Nukem to ask him to come and bone her. In another Easter Egg Duke finds Lara’s discarded tank top at a strip club and says only a huge skank would wear something like that

The 90s were very classy

I guess that would depend on your geographical location. Over here they’re typically seen towards the end of summer

The only God we worship in this house 🙏

But Tomb Raider, a series about a lady who dualwields pistols while doing backflips, must be a serious Prestige Game!

Where you also want to protect her or whatever the producer guy was saying in 2012

I wasn’t talking about UE5, but the scale. The vast majority of NPCs in the AC games are randomly generated and non-persistent like in most other sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto. TES makes a big deal out of their NPCs being unique and having homes and schedules (not counting the mooks you run into outside of towns)

I don’t think any game engine could’ve done this on the Xbox 360 or the PS3

It’s so lazy though. They don’t even need to construct elaborate conspiracy theories, just lazily bake some numbers

How about the drive-by proselytisers that are calling you to repent and turn to Jesus in the comments of a video about a cute animal or Oblivion NPC dialogue

The religion with the most annoying followers

Gamergate was also the trial run for the alt-right and involved many of the same figureheads

Even when Sweet Baby is not involved with a game, gamers work themselves up into a rage imagining how terrible it would be if they were. I already saw a thumbnail with female characters from this game ran through some AI filter to make them look more like the lady from Horizon Zero West or whatever its called to demonstrate what Sweet Baby Inc would totally do to the game if they got the chance

The studio behind Stellar Blade also apparently fired a woman for supporting feminism on Twitter or something. Gamers seem to be currently propping up Asian developers as the last defenders of traditional gamer values. We already know how much they love Japan, and South Korea makes sense but it’s funny to see them praising China

It’s the Birdemic 2 of not-so-crypto fascist recruitment campaigns

Well, the guy was Chinese so he must’ve known what he was talking about

It was just some guy posting on the Internet?

I kinda regret being as hyperbolic as I was in the original post and also bringing up the recent accident in Vantaa. I was planning on making a post about rental e-scooters anyway but decided the tragedy was a good illustration of the downsides of at least this specific implementation of the e-scooter. I guess people took my stance as pro-car when it’s more pro-bicycle. I also see the benefits of electric-powered or electric-assisted vehicles for the elderly and the disabled but I don’t think scooters are a good fit for those groups either
