Literally the only recent SW game beside OR was Battlefront which was eh. EA has a whole shitload of Star Wars games in the wings but none of them are anywhere near show-ready.

Real hurthling! posted:the sexy thing was separate from the diversity thing and basically his criticism is that in hollywood if theres 2 people getting through danger they should be romantic tension because that's how movies have always worked. adding in some spicy romantic tension would make it even more lifeless and also that criticism sounds super dumb Jay Rust posted:What are some good recent Star Wars games?

Isn't it weird how we never got a Star Wars video game where you play as Luke and run around with a lightsaber. Like yeah the old platformers on NES and SNES and whatever but all those Jedi Knight, Shadows of the Empire, Force Unleashed, Bioware RPGs, terrible prequel games, and I can't think of a single one where you play as The Guy From Star Wars.

I guess with Rebel Assault they wanted to do a Star Wars FMV game but didn't have the main cast, so you end up doing all the same kinda stuff except as Rookie One or whatever. You do get to do the Luke / lightsaber stuff in the LEGO games too.

ive found that if there is more than one black person or woman in the main or peripheral cast of a nerd IP, the fanbase calls it 'forced diversity'

Lego games hardly count, you can play as That Gungan That Isn't Jar Jar, No Not That One, The Other One. Not that I'm complaining about that, but it's hardly the same as a game focused on one of the most iconic characters in the franchise.

I'm 100% sure that Disney consciously aimed for a diverse cast, and I hope more big blockbusters take the same approach.Lurdiak posted:Lego games hardly count, you can play as That Gungan That Isn't Jar Jar, No Not That One, The Other One. Not that I'm complaining about that, but it's hardly the same as a game focused on one of the most iconic characters in the franchise. The main three turn up as special units in some of the strategy games too I think, but that's still really removed from the action. There is also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-r7SNQ_5fc But ignoring that is for the best

Lurdiak posted:Kids do care tho. This and also this. But yeah, kids who are unaware of the diversity argument at a higher level just grow up with a Star Wars movie where the main characters were a white lady and black dude and that's probably healthy for their world view and will lead to fewer weird nerds getting angry that some video game made by an international dev team had a Hispanic lady MC. RLM can suck it. Their Phantom Menace criticism was the only thing they made worth a drat.

ImpAtom posted:So, like, is it me or is Pac-Man Championship Editon 2 kind of overly-bloated? I think i liked the first one more. The new one has more features but they feel kinda gimmicky rather than fun and the massive nerf to ghosts just feels weird. I like CE2 a lot more just because they made high scoring runs more complicated. You need to be really really good at heading off ghost trains during the eating phase and understanding how to optimally position fruit during the pellet phase to shave seconds off your run. I've been playing it once or twice a day since release and trying to get better, but people in the top 10 are really staring to widen the gap in ability

I own the Star Wars fighting game and I am so bad at playing it. I want to beat the game as Chewbacca, who is cool. But it is pretty bad so I probably won't.

Oh I discovered a neat thing while getting into Rayman Legends again - pressing the X button was starting to actually hurt my finer so I used the PS4's accessibility settings to swap it to R1 and it's making the game a lot more enjoyable.

Let's instead talk about that episode of star trek where they go get a piece of the action (that being the one where kirk and spock go to the planet of the mobsters)

I agree that Trek is better than Wars but god dammit Rogue Squadron was the poo poo. Why does Star Wars always get the good games? I want TellTale to do TNG season 8. since everything is being rebooted nowadays why not

I feel mixed about the diversity arguments that go on. On the one hand I think it's dumb to demand every movie needs a non-white character or needs to pass the Bechdel test, on the other hand I find it even more dumb to get mad when people do choose to put non-white non-male characters into movies to the degree that the first group aren't even worth mentioning in comparison. Like, I think not every movie needs to be diverse and some movies it doesn't even work for but on the other hand if every movie had minority actors and strongly written women, i can't imagine that actually having any real negative effect so it seems nonsensical to get up in arms about it. Like let's say that RLM is right and TFA awaken's cast is diverse for diversity's sake. Why should I care?

i dont think there's any setting in western media where it makes sense for there only to be white people so i wont really ever get the 'forced diversity' argument not writing minority characters poorly is a different story if paper mario had black toads it'd increase the character design variety by 200%

Quest For Glory II posted:i dont think there's any setting in western media where it makes sense for there only to be white people so i wont really ever get the 'forced diversity' argument Well there was that time that Spike Lee complained that Eastwood WWII movie didn't have any black people in it when there was in fact no black people at the battle. Then, on a lesser note, there's when people were complaining that Her had very few black people in it when Her is like the whitest movie and even if it had an all minority cast it would still be the whitest movie ever so the casting did work. As I said, I don't think having a diverse cast tends to hurt anything but I think sometimes the complaints that a movie lacks it can get a bit silly because sometime it's just not taken in context and just used as a end all rule.
