Oh ok. Was concerned there for a second. Also the loot box thing has me laughing my rear end off. Had never seen it before. Genuinely started loling at “APPARENTLY HE AND HIS ROOMMATE ARE BOTH PORNOGRAPHERS”

absolutely worth your click

Edit: good god they doxxed the everloving gently caress out of the guy and his roommate at the end of that post

sr1, 2 and to a lesser degree 3 are jank and dont even compare in production values to contemporaries. then theres agents of mayhem. you could say their most aaa game was SR4 and that was only after 3 was a hit. maybe one of the red factions?? idk their games always felt a bit budget (not as an insult)

SR4 isn't even really AAA though, they just took the map and mechanics from sr3 and added the superhero and alien stuff on top of it. There's no way it would have been even half as good as it was if they'd had to redevelop the core gameplay/world.

I recall there was even some mission or dlc in sr4 where they explicitly point out the bits which were supposed to be in sr3 (a dominatrix themed story?) but couldn't go in due to budgetary concerns, and that sr4 was originally a canned sr3 dlc but the superhero genre was too popular not to capitalize on resulting in a full game on the same sr3 map and engine

My fav bit was modern angry shaundi having to meet old-school stoner shaundi but they never resolved why she changed personality. Stoner shaundi going "I love pizza!" lives rent free in my head

I got my middle school ip banned from the GameShark forums. I don't remember what got it banned in the end but one account went down for telling a mod "GTA vice city can't be GTA 4 because London 1969 exists"

lol, the GameShark forums. i don't think i ever got banned from there myself, but that is where i had baby's very first experience of being Trolled Online -- some rascal duped my username (i was 'lugia321', and they made 'iugia321' with a capital i) and posted a bunch of rude things all over the subforums i would frequent. i remember being SO confused and dismayed at the time, being a literal child who would never even conceive of being mean to someone on the internet!, but looking back on it now, it was harmless enough and they got me pretty good

I'm replaying SR3 right now and it holds up pretty well gameplay wise, tho I am skipping literally every cutscene so that might be why I'm enjoying it so much

Well… I don’t read the Smash Bros thread in games but I somehow doubt the reaction to the last dlc character was the same there.



Anyone questioning these posts was banned for racism.

This... was actually what the smash bros thread in games was like. I stopped reading it cause it got tedious after each character announcement to have the same handful of goons go off about why didn't Nintendo put a bipoc character for smash. I stopped reading around the time Min Min was dropped and goons declared her to not be racial inclusion because of her skin color, even though she is Chinese, which is pretty yikes.

I don't know why, but it just occurred to me while reading this to actually look at what bipoc stands for because all this time I've just been autotranslating it as "Bisexual People of Color" in my head :psyduck:

Yeah that sounds about the same.
Did they go have the same reaction here too when Sakurai posted this screenshot?






Coincidentally, there is now a thread for Sakurai’s YouTube channel with the title “Masahiro Sakurai on Making Games |OT| Representation Matters” made by a user with the title “spotlighting black excellence” and the member role “diversity analyst”

The grey Games forum is a great many things - some hilarious, some sad, some horrifying, some all of the above to varying degrees - but suggesting they're anywhere near as bad as ResetEra is the vilest slander.

Or libel.

Whichever one is the written one. I can never remember.
