I'm sure if we all keep putting our heads together we'll manage to figure out which company puts out games that aren't embarrassing for this mysterious secondary party to walk in on you playing that everyone worries about.

Aside from Tetris I guess. That one's pretty safe.

I like yoko taro the best because his stuff is horny as gently caress but that’s like a main theme of his and he is at least honest about the horny poo poo. Plus his lady characters tend to be really cool and poo poo. https://twitter.com/pengun101/status/1393435595742064643 https://twitter.com/pengun101/status/1393351399149289479 Have some Filbert Shepard.

It's another massive character assassination of a cool rear end kicker lady character is the main summary. Aya was a cool tough lady, then Third Birthday makes her this whimpering waifish mess and when you get damaged your clothes start disintegrating, so it wasn't bad enough with the first part, had to make her this gross uwu noooo monsters don't explode my clothes off spankbait target as well.

I came across a wonderful youtube channel with some pretty neat video essays. Most of them are between 5-10 minutes so they're easily digestible too, and ranging from a variety of films.
The two of them that brought them on my radar where, of course, Snyder specific.

This one talks about how Zack uses the visuals of a scene to say something about the motivations and character arc of Bruce in BvS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-niOOMzYSs

and for Man of Steel, they chose to talk about what makes a well shot scene...well shot. Like it goes into specifics of how Zack uses blocking, zoom, blurs and angles for a scene to make you relate to the character.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2RpU3FL1w8

They're about 8 minutes each, and well worth watching imo,. and there's tons of other essays in the channel I'm working through.

The zero suit is whatever, it's just boring that it became the Samus Standard forever after, to the point that Retro had to slap together an insanely ugly ZSS model for Prime 2 last minute.

e: Other M gave the Zero Suit heels (the original design sheet from Zero Mission even specifically says that it *shouldn't* have huge heels). Smash followed that design update but turned them into jet-heels.

3rd Birthday did give us one great thing though. Over on Woolievs, cohost Minh convinced Woolie to play through 3rd birthday by insisting that it was one of his favorite games.

At the end of the game, after watching all the horrible writing unfold, Minh told everyone that he hated 3rd birthday more than any other game and had tricked Woolie into playing so that he, and the audience, could know his suffering.

Nearly everything about DNF makes a lot more sense when you realize the project lead kept chucking everything they had into a garbage bin because this was his dream game and he wanted his dream game to have the absolute ultimate best graphics in the industry and I guess he was too busy with that to notice what happened with Daikatana.

IIRC what lead to DNF finally coming out was said lead dev pissing off his parent company one too many times which lead to them pulling the plug on the whole thing and standing by while Gearbox scooped up whatever was left.

Oh but you forget, you aren't actually playing Aya, you are playing her 13 year old sister, and it's only after you learn that twist that you start unlocking the sexy clothing.



The reason Nintendo is winning is because their fans are ok with whatever they do. No one else gets away with releasing two almost identical games, like Pokémon. Capcom tried with MMBN and that got complaints, everyone else just puts multiple paths in the same game.

A goon LP pointed out something that makes it even more fascinating- the fact that each level has SOMETHING in it that lines up with a specific year in recent history, meaning you can actually pinpoint exactly when they were working on each section based on what gimmicks or themes are present. Including somehow explicitly ripping off Half Life 1 and 2 gameplay at different points. It would be an interesting look into how games evolved during it's 10+ years of development... if it wasn't utter trash in every way.

The one actually cool thing that came from DNF was them honoring that one dude's original date pre-order from way, way, way back when who still had his receipt, then I think also sending him some neat extra Duke Nukem bits and bobs.

DNF was George Broussard being obsessed with staying ahead of the curve and not having anyone stop him, so every time some new FPS innovation would come out he'd try to shove it into DNF. Which is why you can play a drinking game with this stuff:

I do legit hope that somebody leaks the 2001 build of DNF eventually, cause from the already leaked gameplay footage it seems like a more interesting version of DNF.

The Adam/Samus relationship is literally just a genderbent version of Master Chief and Cortana. Like, I wonder if that was on purpose.

The funny thing is that Other M showed Adam the Guy and made him so hated nobody wants to see Adam the AI ever again :v:
