I thought it seemed like parody, I mean the way the story starts it's not much of a leap to going there. Showing how messed up the protagonist is something too.

Anyway though, I actually skimmed through those pages pretty fast to get to the story.

Have you seen Zen's avatar?

Yeah, but it's a parody of something I'm not into and I hope no one else is. Which is molestation/rape. I guess you could say it adds to his character, but I feel like they could have done that without resorting to such graphic images.

Probably not, but whatever.

As long as it's fiction it's ok.. isnt it?

I guess. People can get the wrong idea, though.

it also serves as a very interesting idea that would make people want to read more.

But those parts were part of the story. ;)

Oh boy. My Wii U pro controller arrived. All set for Bayo 2.

I'm honestly impressed. It feels really good. And it was pretty cheap. Nippon Yasan got it to me for about €25 and took 4 days to ship from Japan to Ireland. Fair play Japanese postman, fairplay.

Depends how graphic/obscene it gets? It'll definitely affect people's opinions if they saw someone watching/reading stuff like that.

I don't feel like it's a parody? Could take it as someone's imagination and how he is as a person? The scenes gave extra interest to some readers, i feel like.

That they can. Maybe with some context they'll understand? Maybe?

They are really bad, but I do think the are reviewing it as a 60$ game rather than a 15$ game that you replay two to three times. Of course judging a game on the first playthough is completely fair.

It really needed some more muscle and cash behind it.

SO HAS ANYONE IN HERE ACTUALLY PLAYED KORRA YET OR ARE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT IT PLAYING THE GAME? HOW IS THE PC PORT? IS IT PLAYABLE WITH KB/M UNTIL I GET MY CONTROLLER WORKING AGAIN? WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT KORRA?

Edit: 360pages actually posted in the time it took me to write this.

Also yeah, podcast hype. LET'S GOOO!!

I was making people salty cuz I gushing too hard about it when I played it at midnight. So I posted in the korra threads. The game is great, the PC port is limited in what it can do, but its still a 1080/60 game all around (except for 720 on ps3/360), I wouldn't play it with a keyboard/mouse. And the game is great. Its a platinum game so why wouldn't it be? Even if its lighter on content compared to other games. As people should have expected it to be.

In the case of BioGamerGirl they are literally reviewing it as a $60 game.

I dunno what this is, I've never read it so I have no idea how bad it is but fiction doesn't get a free pass because it's fiction

Every platinum game would be completely average if we accepted that. It really depends on the game.

Parody or not, it was uncomfortable to read and didn't really add anything imo.

Maybe they will or maybe they'll forever deem you as something you are not.
You might also get banned.

The IGN reviewer thinks the story sucks and he died too much.
Click to expand...

But.. does he even know anything about the show korra? Because of course it's light on story.. it's a game about a show.. the show is where all the story is...

So you're telling me he sucks at character action games or didnt even bother properly learning the mechanics? Great.. fantastic. 10/10 review.

It's not that bad imo. You should read it. It's an interesting read.

A lot of people believe that the purpose of a standalone product is that it can stand alone as its own product. Meaning all of the information needed to explain the story and the world is in the product, in this case, a game. So when it's not there people throw a hissy fit. I don't agree with this, mostly because its a 15 dollar game of a popular TV show. Simpsons Hit n' Run didn't have a story and didn't explain the world because the Simpsons was popular, Simpsons fans were buying the game, so they already knew the world and story. Same with Korra.
Fans are buying the game, so the developers thought that they already knew the story, and thus, didn't explain everything.

Dude...

It's happened a couple of times. Probably more. I don't really hang out in OT that often.

Yeah.... Yeah...
I just think it's fictional and also imagined, so i dont find it uncomfortable? That's my mentality about it. IRL? Any kind of rape is bad.

Hmmm.. ok. I'll be more careful.
