Bloodborne was several years ago now.

lol but there was something I remember that looked like Geiger designs with the numbers filed off that had a lot of blood and something gnarly gestating in a mechanical womb or something. unless I've gone insane

You're basically everyone's mom in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII-3.

But yeah, there definitely needs to be more games with women as lead designers/directors.

Oh that was Scorn probably, that's not out yet. Or the lovely hell game with the vagina demon that came out a couple of years back?

if that's it, then that trailer definitely made it look like exactly what that poster described

scorn has been in development for a while, first shown off years ago, and the more recent one was uhhhhhhhh some other one word name like Hatred but not that cause that was a different one

I've seen the fair point that it doesn't make sense to announce a PC release at the event for PS5 games but hopefully it's like "Bloodborne remaster for PS5!!! .. also on PC"

Yeah, if it happens that's how I'd expect it to be. Bloodborne remaster for PS5 and then maybe a Steam or EGS logo as well or something like that.

I am so extremely stoked for the Gamecube Mr. Driller getting English Switch and PC ports this month. The game is a masterpiece.

oh I'm certainly glad he changed it, I'm more responding to the idea there's no way the original concept could be construed as misogynist

I understand it could be seen as misogynist, I just don't think it actually was. I think he had a dumb idea, not an idea that inherently hates women.

I don't necessarily disagree in this specific case, but it's happened before. I don't think Silent Hill 2 was intentionally misandrist, but you could very much argue the point that it is. Every man (or male seeming monster, or dick monster) is just an awful person (including, spoilers, the main character) and every woman is entirely blameless and victimized by either personal or systemic abuse.

Even the Nurse Monsters and the Mannequins exist as a product of men being awful.

So it could be argued as misandrist, I think, but to label it that would be to entirely misunderstand that the genders involved are mostly incidental, that the awfulness of the men is just the awfulness of control and suppression.

Control and suppression and violence can be condemned without condemning the entire gender of the people doing the control.

With Druckmann's dumb idea, being the sort of dumbass that he comes off as in these interviews, it seems more likely that the idea was just poorly thought out and basic.

super glad to explore the crucial difference between "actually misogynist" and "merely dumb enough to appear so without realizing" as it applies to a man who needed to have a daughter before he fully understood that women are people too

Owning Celeste on itch is better than on egs.

Both are actually drm-free but on itch you have access to every public build dating back to 1.0, and also can choose between the xna and opengl versions.

Yea, but the 10 items that might interest you are probably worth throwing in an additional $5 more then you would have otherwise.

I dunno, usually these games end up having some hidden value when looked at years later, but I'm sorry, this is still just a bad Final Fantasy game, no matter how many good ideas it has.

There are people who hate men and who hate white people, but you're correct that it's not now (and hasn't really ever been) an institutional problem, because the world has been run by white men for an extremely long time.
