of all the things folks have copied from dark souls over the years, i wish the controls were more widespread. having movement, attacking, blocking, and camera all on different fingers, is good

This brings me to an important tip for all Dark Souls games:

Never, ever lock in if you're fighting a dragon. Ever. Every dragon you could ever fight in the series is surprisingly manageable if you're not locked on, and will utterly wreck you if you are.

SDR2 Chapter 2:

Uh oh gangster boy got the motive

Nagito status: still loving bugnuts

aaaaaa it's a game within a game, neat!

Well Girl E is obviously sus

Oh and now Girl E is dead. Told ya she was sus

Twilight Syndrome controls: janky controls, plot doesn't make sense, outdated graphics, 2/10

Oh cool now I'm gonna help Kazuichi stalk Sonia. Cool. Cool cool cool

Oh poo poo there's too many people coming and going from the beach I'm getting bad vibes

NO I DO NOT NEED A BUNCH OF BIKINI SHOTS GODAMMIT

Lol Sonia in a wetsuit kinda made that worth it WAIT KAZUICHI NO FFS

WELP SOMEONE DEAD WHO DEAD

Oh buh bye Mahiru, at least you're not someone I care about :wave:

Anyway the instant reaction here is that this was Kuzuryu but that's probably the red herring

Character Rankings

1. Ibuki (musician) - ok Ibuki is definitely queer and I am here for it
2. Nidai (manager) - would totally let him do "it" to me
3. Nanami (gamer) - hopefully will not have an unfortunate gamer moment
4. Kuzuryu (gangster) - clearly the Togami of this game (apart from y'know, Togami)
5. Akane (gymnast) - a girl after my own heart
6. Sonia (princess) - appreciate the trolling
7. Hiyoko (dancer) - the way she attached to Mahiru was kinda cute
8. Peko (swords) - still basically just there
9. Hajime (gently caress knows) - stop enabling Kazuichi
10. Mahiru (photos) - not gonna miss you
11. Gundam (pets) - maybe you wouldn't be lonely if you stopped being such a goddam weirdo
12. Mikan (nurse) - at least she wasn't one of the bikini girls
13. Kazuichi (mechanic) - so very gross
14. Nagito (crazy) - even tied up you're creepy

I don't think I even realized it was a white guy voicing him at the time (for everyone else, the character is black and played mostly as a joke, since he's a paranoid conspiracy theorist with the punchline being that he is right regularly). Steam whining aside looking through the list of jokes they rewrote and wow this was a lot more dated than I thought, I'm glad they put the time in to actually do that. I hope they're able to remaster the other seasons and work on something of their own down the line.

That seems fairly comprehensive. I don't remember most of that either lol but in retrospect

quote:

They also removed a lot of dialogue, such as:

1-"Why the sex change"

Sam: Mind telling us how you came to be a woman?

Max: Did you use lasers, or just do it the old-fashioned way?

Bosco: Are you sassin' me? Boy I'll whup your behind so hard you won't be able to see straight!

Max: But I don't see out of my behind.

Bosco: You will after I get through with you!


2- "How's life as a woman?"

Sam: So how are those BoscoTech breasts holdin' up?

Bosco: Oh, these are all natural, honey.

Max: I'm not gonna lie, I like 'em bosomy.

Bosco: Oh, Max, you take after your father.

Max: Okay, you just crossed the line, pal!

Sam: Easy Max, theoretically, we have even more disturbed people to worry about right now.

That's not great

Yeah a proper, non-episodic sequel would be great to see. AFAIK the team is tiny at the moment though so I don't know how realistic that is unless these remasters do really well.

Go back and watch pretty much any episode of HIMYM, even the later ones. It's wild how consistent and frequent the transphobic jokes are. (Actually don't do this).

I think what makes these changes impressive personally is that they're a small team of ex-Telltale devs and this is pretty obviously a "what can we toss out cheaply and easily to make any cash at all" and they did that anyway.

I felt like they nailed the episodic structure though, each game is about an hour and a half to two hours, so perfect for a single sitting. I'd set aside a weekend afternoon to go through it.

The thing to remember with jokes like this is they always crossed the line, only the line wasn't as firmly drawn in the sand back then.

I wonder what we will be embarrassed by in 20 years that we do now.

Futurama is thick with them which is painfully unfunny for a show set in the year 3000. One or two of those episodes are about as regressive as you'd expect a South Park episode to be.
