A...news regarding Phantom Pain

2014-12-0223_08_47-keo6zjv.png


Kojima, you're really weird, I said this morning, I say it now.

I saw the news on gaming, dunno who she was, googled and...what the hell :\

Sasha = Chico confirmed.
 
I really wonder if they even could do a AC game in an eastern Setting like Japan or China besides smaller projects.
I mean it should still feel kinda "real", but if they do it wrong, it could feel like those OEM manga that have a japanese setting...

On another note. Anime-recommendations:

Tatami Galaxy
Kaiji
One Outs
Uchouten Kazoku

Would really depend on the work put into it.
At this point I think they're just scared to go out of a period with big buildings and everything else since that is kind of a staple of the series. Still as I said with each locale just being "eh" in terms of reception. At some point they're going to have to do something really different. AC3 so far has been the biggest change they have attempted in setting.

Ah, I see. I figure it's just easier to refer to everyone as "he". That way the person in question will just correct you if you're mistaken.

That's fair, but since PunishedSnake was refering to Zky as a she I figure I might as well ask now! I'll just stick with "Zky" for now if I ever need to refer to Zky!

Umh, isn't Zky a woman? So I need to use she, what is strange here?

That's what I'm trying to figure out!

I'm not sure I'd be using the term "having a good time with Sasha gray" in a public social network.

What monsters would recommend Bleach? It's a tedious battle shounen manga. I would call it down right bad. If you want a few general recommendations by yours truly watch Ghost in the Shell [Cyberpunk, Matrix was influenced by this], Guardian of the Spirit [Fantasy in a chinese setting] and Black Lagoon (pure action and badassery, set in the east asian sea with modern pirates and mercenaries). But if you have favorite genres I can give you personalized ones.You need to activate Beta access.

Ghost in the shell and cowboy bebop are top of my list at the moment, but I've got your recommendations saved now, so I'll definitely check them out

Let her express herself in the way she wants. I liked her character in Saint's Row. But she needed a bit more screen time.

What criteria?

I guess I tried to post too quickly and it didn't post.
Heavy Yuri no H.
Also already watch Akuma no Riddle and that ending was garbitch.

Because people are not very inclined to watch anything if you throw too many options at them. I also wait, if he have preferences that I could feed.
Hum... Guess so, I'm used to weird people I guess. What my friends end up doing when given a list is to first watch the first episode (sometimes the second as well) of all suggestions and then decide what takes priority.

I am not much in actual yuri focused anime, since they're most of the time more boring than regular romance anime. For heavy undertones, but no real focus, I would recommend Saki [sport anime about mahjong with super overdramatic game scenes] and Nanoha [What happens when you want to make a Mecha anime, but have to do a Magical Girl one]. Both series are imo great for themselves.

Hum... Guess so, I'm used to weird people I guess. What my friends end up doing when given a list is to first watch the first episode (sometimes the second as well) of all suggestions and then decide what takes priority.
Interesting, my friends are more or less informed themselves and barely ask me for recommendations. It doesn't help that I throw good series I watch at any time at them anyways.

A SteamGAFer watched me play some Saints Row IV earlier, seemed to work fine - alas it was a level where I was running around as a naked woman which wasn't ideal for my reputation.

When I played SR3, 90% of the time I was running around as a naked woman... so it sounds like you were playing the game correctly?

Exactly, they're perfectly capable of finding stuff on their own but we all end up shoving lists (not just anime) down each others throats

I always love to spread good anime to fight the plague of mediocre or downright bad mainstream ones. When i see people recommend Naruto and Bleach... that is downright evil.

Everyone should watch Watamote. It's amazing.
Uuuh..... I can't say I agree with you.

So it appears you will get a Community ban if you do screw up the rules of "broadcasting", such as the guy that streamed porn lol

Remember, do not cheat while streaming.
Well, it's probably unintended from copy pasting community rules, but theoretically they can ban for it.

First sale in a while where I didn't buy anything at all. Only Duke Nukem Forever was discounted 75%+ on my wishlist but it was still damn expensive. Oh well next sale soon anyway.
 
Skyrim Streamer just got community ban too. I can understand why desktop streamers can get banned but why thsoe streaming a game from steam eventhough it has some nasty modifications. There are games having adult content from start with no modification, if streaming them will get you banned from steam why even sell them on steam.

Honestly, I just haven't had the chance to really watch anime. A friend pushed me to watch death note, which I loved, and I've been recommended things like bleach, but just never really known where to start with them
Animu is the worst, and you should never watch anything. Whoever recommended you that is awful, and you should ignore everything they say. :D
I'm kind of kidding, and watch ping pong the animation. It's legit, and you can watch for free on youtubes.

Whoa steam broadcasting is some legit news, and didn't really expect that. Kind of busy, so just glanced over everything it entails. Will read up on it more later.

Don't forget Ghost Stories, the anime so bad the Americans dubbed over it with one of the greatest dubs of all time.

Legit good stuff out there that I didn't see recommended: Last Exile, The Big O, Serial Experiments: Lain, Crest of the Stars/Banner of the Stars/etc, Evangelion (bonus points for watching the new movies once you're done), Planetes, Azumanga Daioh, Lupin III (there's lots of it, but the Miyazaki movie especially, also the Fujiko Mine tv show), Samurai Champloo, Trigun, Wolf's Rain, Vampire Hunter D.

Protip: Anything by Satoshi Kon and Chiaki J. Konaka.

Also, yes, Bebop is glorious, as is GITS.

I think I mentioned all the good ones.

It might have something to do with the fact that he was running around naked with his mod. Huge jiggly tits + epic ass + a dong are all funny, but most definitely broke the rules.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

The FAQs on streaming say that you can't stream anything that is generally considered "not safe for work", so technically speaking having a giant bare ass jiggling all over the place kinda falls into that category.

But it does call into question a lot of scenes in a lot of games. For example, there is nudity in The Wolf Among Us (episode 2 I believe) so could someone get banned for streaming that? Most likely so. Also other games like The Witcher. Even Wolfenstein TNO had a sex scene near the beginning.

Yes, but he wasn't streaming external adult stuff like from video sites. he was streaming a game, yes with modifications but still a steam game. If someone streams Witchers 2, GTA5, LA Noire, Metro last Light and many otehr games, will he get banned instantly too? Those games have adult stuff with no mods. This is really weird.

So what about Saints Row? You can run around as a S&M doll hitting people with a giant purple dildo.

Yep that too. Garry's Mod has some Cinema servers where you can watch adult content and it is allowed in the game and by server rules. If someone streams that even by error.

I am wondering the same too. Hence I question the release of those games on steam from start. This is very controversial.
