Team "Devil's Advocate."
I've never played an Uncharted game so I've just been avoiding those topics. Seems it was a good choice for my sanity <3
What am I even looking at?
This is all some great cosplay <3
I mean yes and no. I think a lot of these issues or controversies and more nuance to them than discussions of GAF would allow or suggest. It's been my feeling for a while, and I feel its getting worse, that there is a strong sense of tribalism among a lot of the opinions and positions on GAF with regards to certain topics. That people are adopting them because they are the "right" position rather than one they either truly hold or one they can articulate why the hold them. I think its also true that some people are so poor at articulating their position or indeed just fucking mouthbreathers that by association they taint the opinions of those who are much more well-adjusted and articulate that might share some/part of those opinions as well. Like you can be a non-fan of say boob slider removal or butt shot crops without being an asshole or a raging pervert but I feel less and less like you can express those sorts of opinions without people thinking otherwise of you. Like I feel those sorts of topics should be able to have opposing sides argue opposite perspective while respecting each other and not blowing up to 35353532 posts. I won't say "both sides are the same" because that's not necessarily true in every case but I sometimes feel uncomfortable with the hardline positions people often take. Like I can often see a posters name and I'll know what they say before they'll say it and said position never moderates with perspective. Maybe its because I just have a generally moderate personality?
Nah I can't cosign on this. This is the sort of thinking that said "2D is dead" at the start of the PSX/N64 generation and led to the proliferation and creation of a ton of garbage looking games and such. Make the game fun and put the right money/IP behind it and it will sell. I don't think the FF7 Remake has to have the exact same battle system of the original but "it had to change" it a non-sense narrative and people are justified in being disappointed or upset by the prospective of this change. The few who are threatening to rage-quit life about don't represent the majority reaction I feel.
I'm done
What am I even looking at?
Who that with all that ass?

If you haven't read it, you should.
Back to the topic at hand:
At some point we should talk Steven Universe. Y'all know that show has a ton of voice actors of color, right?
This is all some great cosplay <3

Nope. Buy a new tv.

FFVII plays like crap by today's standards. They ain't trying to cater to the fans; SE knows they have you no matter what. They want to appeal to the kids that weren't alive in 1997.

At no point in time did I ever believe that the entirety of FF7 would be remade with modern fidelity. I'd pick it up once its complete unless it spans a console generation.

"PLEASE INSERT DISC TWO
...IN 2027"
...IN 2027"
I read that and heard a million mechanical keyboards clicking.
I'm use to games not having a decent amount of brown skin tones to choose from.
:lol
Meltdowns are coming...
Is Bronx-Man alright?
They almost had me too. Got me all hyped with Cloud in Smash, liked the look of the new battle system...now, nah. I'll just wait for the all-in-one collection that comes out a year after the last episode.

I went to look up what you were talking about and the fuck? For real for real?
SE casted Silence over the dev team
I think we're talking about different things. This is what I'm talking about from the Uncharted thread and other threads on social issues like the Chinese Star Wars poster thread, etc...:

Simply put, posters who show up in threads related to social issues and go "What are you guys so mad about?" or "And here comes GAF getting outraged again" or "I wasn't offended therefore there is no issue and anyone who thinks differently from me is an idiot" or any other form of patronizing comments towards anyone that has a criticism about something they don't understand/can't relate to. These posters don't even want to see the criticisms or comments made or else you're "upset" or "angry" or a South Park character from the current season. If you have a different opinion, fine, share your opinion and express why you disagree, not the shit linked above. The bikini example was just a random jab at a form of discussion that I see on GAF without this form of shit posting.

so glad i have no attachment to FF outside of some decent music
I'll let my earlier post stand because I still stand by it but you're right, we were talking about different things. Sorry. I agree with you 100%. If you're only contribution to a thread is "I don't see what the big deal is?" then there isn't much point in posting. If a person legit doesn't understand, they should ask question and try to learn rather than drop one liners.
I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.
