8-Bit Scholar posted:Yes, shockingly enough, Watch Dogs is a Bad Game made by a Bad Publisher. There are enough hints in the game itself that Aiden Pearce was going to be a white-hat hacker taking down an opressive system he himself created from the inside, which isn't a very original or unique idea but it's way more interesting than what we got. PantsBandit posted:People can talk about whatever the hell they want but just maybe certain topics aren't conducive to a web forum and are just going to lead to a bunch of people insulting one another. It is better to have discussed and lost than to have not discussed at all.

Literally every topic will devolve into insults at some point if discussed long enough I'd rather have it be the backdrop of something interesting instead of "Is dark souls great or greatest?"

my dark souls story: I played it for like 25 minutes and beat the boss guy in the prison and ended up on a plateau with a campfire and a guy in armor and I tried to fight the guy in armor and he hosed me up pretty bad. then he remained hostile even after reloading the game and kept killing me. serves me right tbqh

I do legitimately prefer Demon's but I understand it's very much a "my personal taste in what I enjoy" thing. Tower Of Latria is loving cool as poo poo and I'm sad there's nothing like it in either Dark. 8-Bit Scholar posted:Yeah, Demon's Souls is awful about this. You're awful!

Lady Naga posted:Also Patrick Bateman is shown to be a horrible person in the film itself, unlike Aiden Pearce. Please stop being a complete moron TIA.  He was? I thought the entire movie was about the nuances of quality assurance in business cards?  Lady Naga posted:Only if you're unable to accept very basic concepts like "America has a problem with support of vigilante justice and violence as a means of conflict resolution, and media wherein a crazed vigilante murders dozens of people to resolve conflicts does not help that preconception." I've never played Watch_dogs, but I think everyone here is confused about what you're arguing. Media influences people, for sure. Maybe I see a donut and it influences me to buy it. It's a moot point. Everything has a degree of influence. You say that Watch_dogs encourages a character to make lovely decisions, and that's why you dislike it. Fair enough, but you seem to be implying that media should be obligated not to do that? You mention that a supreme court justice used 24 to justify torture. But is that 24's fault, or the justice's for being a dumbass? If I make a pet killing simulator that gives you achievements for killing pets, yeah that's insane and atrocious. But I'm not obligated by anything but my own personal ethics and my audiences wallets in publishing the game. So that's why everyone thinks you're implying censorship. Because otherwise yours is a moot point. People are going to buy what appeals to them, and the creators can support or chastise a lovely thing or character but they're not obligated to do either.

Lady Naga posted:Lots of good things can possibly lead to bad conclusions but that doesn't mean we shouldn't do them. How is saying "Watch_Dogs is bad because it reinforces lovely behavior" "fearmongering"? People sure are reading into a ton of poo poo I didn't say. You asked how saying "media influences people" justifies censorship, or is contentious. My response is that someone will take [game] and say "[game] caused [event]" People are outraged over things(games, games-related things) they haven't seen or read or heard for themselves, but the extremely limited exposure that's chosen to represent something leads to premature judgement and an opinion without evidenced justification. Lady Naga posted:I have literally no idea how saying "media influences people" justifies censorship, or is even a contentious issue. "Media influences people" + " 'Watch_Dogs' is bad because it reinforces lovely behavior" = Someone demanding censorship over games The sensible options of being reasonable and not supporting negative influences doesn't occur, because people are so scared of "yet another shooting" that they will just let someone else handle it. Now I know Aiden's psychopathic, violent behavior and being an rear end in a top hat in general doesn't equate to "gonna commit some crime IRL" but someone will be so emotionally convinced that they never engage their logical processes.

I hope you don't see my one word response as aloof or dismissive it's just that what you are saying is so dumb that I cannot be assed to retread the same loving argument I've made three or four times now to deal with it.

I guess the dude from Red Faction: Guerilla is good since since he's fighting an unjust colonial regime but he does that by destroying infrastructure, killing natives, and being complicit in torture so idk. niko bellic

Well, the problem is, he's right, and what you said does correlate to what he's saying. Whether you intended it to be read that way, when multiple people are clearly reading that meaning from it, you may want to rethink how you worded your original point if you think you are being misunderstood.

Lady Naga posted:Media can subtly reinforce previously held belief systems in horrifically negative ways and it's a lot more insidious than "bad games make bad people" actually. This is not really an argument. This is just an opinion. Replace media with people or religion or bear-watching or freedom of speech and it would be just as valid. Like the only responses to this I can come up with is, why should anyone care and what can anyone do about it (besides censorship)? Ravane fucked around with this message at 02:02 on Mar 9, 2016 |

Besides those weird "new pirates" like Kidd and that one mobster guy, who else was absent from the line-up? I can't think of anyone I'd *really* want off the top of my head, except that all of CP9 should have been available. poo poo, CP9 should just come back in general, I'd love to see all those guys level up in power for a round two with the Straw Hats. Lucci got kind of a raw deal since he's set up as this pure evil bastard with incredible power, but he's taken out by Luffy lickety split all things considered. I mean, loving moron lightning god dude has a ridiculously long story arc devoted to him and his forgettable lackeys but Lucci gets taken out and Elephant Sword Guy is the only one left standing for the big finale.

Lady Naga posted:I have a responsibility to not talk about my horrific fetishes in public but if I do I'm not going to be thrown in jail or "censored", people are just going to tell me to shut the gently caress up. Perhaps the same can apply to media? "What should be done about it" indeed. This conversation literally started because I said "a game with a lovely message is worse than a game with bad gameplay" and people disagreed so I don't know why we're now on the topic of censorship and what is to be done about the fact that people get messages from media, these are questions I am not prepared to answer nor did I say I was.

There's a handful of contestants from the Dressrosa arc that would be fun to play. The most recent arc introduced a kickass giant catman, a pretty cool dogguy, and a ninja with ivankov proportions
