He has done neither, mainly because the game is not released yet.

Oh god why are so many games I want coming out so close together I already got Dragon Quest XI and I should probably not buy more games until I finish it, but Spider-Man looks extremely fun and Valkyria Chronicles 4 is coming out in a couple weeks. There are just so many good video games to play and so little time.

Spider man looks great and I could not be happier to skip it. As the threads most well regarded and popular Dragon Quest criticizer, I did pick up DQXI. I'll post longer though when I've had more time with it, since I've only played about 5 hours so far, but for now I'm really enjoying my time with it. My only real complaints are that the music is already kind of grating, and it's a bit more menu-y than it needs to be (but what's new.) For whatever reason being able to just walk around at will during battles is a delight.

exquisite tea posted:The joke is that the big evil corporation is using passive-aggressive workplace jargon to invite literal Hell on Earth, not that demons = immigrants or w/e. This is clear to anyone who is familiar with Doom 16's brand of satire. “Earth is the melting pot of the universe,” “let’s make our friends feel welcome in their new home,” “Remember, ‘demon’ can be an offensive term, refer to them as ‘mortally challenged.’” its 3 jokes that could have easily come from a guy with a pepe avatar if you change a single word. they are not even good jokes, and its clearly a parody of college liberals not corporations. i mean how often do you see corporations going off about melting pots when i first heard about the doom thing i thought it was only the one about demons being mortally challenged which yeah you can kinda read as mocking corporate speak if you squint. but 3 of them in a small slice of gameplay? at the very least its extremely questionable in the current political climate. the melting pot one is just inexcusable imo babypolis fucked around with this message at 15:17 on Sep 10, 2018 |

Relax Or DIE posted:Spider man looks great and I could not be happier to skip it. Yeah the music in DQXI is... it's just not good. There are a couple of decent tracks but ultimately everything sounds really generic and is just really meandering and purposeless. And the overworld theme is just really poorly matched to the game and the chill exploration you do when you're running around the overworld. Even if they'd used the orchestrated soundtrack it wouldn't help all that much but at least there'd be less bad MIDI trumpet sound going around. I'm starting to wish I'd bought the PC version instead of PS4 so that I could like mod in Dragon Quest VIII's soundtrack or something. babypolis posted:when i first heard about the doom thing i thought it was only the one about demons being mortally challenged which yeah you can kinda read as mocking corporate speak if you squint. but 3 of them in a small slice of gameplay? at the very least its extremely questionable in the current political climate. the melting pot one is just inexcusable imo They're not very good jokes, I think, because it's hard to nail down exactly what they're making fun of. It's equally possible that they're making fun of people who advocate for immigrants and refugees as it is that they're making fun of the UAC's attempt to co-opt that language to make the demon-summoning go down smoother. Basically the jokes are either politically uncomfortable or they're just poorly used, or both. Harrow fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Sep 10, 2018 |

i mean the issue with the whole doom eternal thing is that we don't really have the full context for the whole scene yet and presented entirely out of the game's context it's really easy to read lines like that both ways because it's impossible to say whether doom eternal even holds onto the same general point that doom 16 does without, having the full video game to play and look at, and really i wouldn't blame someone for seeing it as a bit of a red flag for the game itself odds are they're probably presenting it out of context like that specifically to stir this kind of poo poo but that's still worth criticizing if it's the case

Given two scenarios, one in which a PR sounding VO is parodying overly politically correct corpo-speak and one in which the ID writers for DOOM are finally getting a chance to insidiously sneak their fascist views into a game trailer, I choose to believe the one that gets me maddest.

That had stuff like employee manuals for what to do if you get possessed by a demon. Within this context it seems highly likely that this next game will continue to satirize corporate PR speak rather than serve as "fascist propaganda" which is a ridiculous conclusion to arrive at outside of our twitter-diseased world.

UAC doesn't operate on the same scale as the corporations we know. They're like Weyland-Yutani, closer to a government structure than a business-organization. In that sense (especially considering the whole "demons invading Earth" thing is 100% their fault) it makes total sense to me that they'd have some kind of "life with demons" presentation for their employees on Earth.
