Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Play Hi-Fi Rush and you can be a "wizard" on the rhythmic battlefield.

On the other hand Marginal Utility of Money applies to Ethical Consumption arguments as well, Rowling is a billionaire and Twitter is $8 per month so if someone wants to buy and play a bad video game it makes like zero difference to the world.

this. it's meaningless to boycott media in general- especially for licensed crap like this, Rowling already made her money when the license was sold, the game could sell 0 copies and it wouldn't matter. and it won't stop the publisher from licensing anything in the future they'll just shrug and extract more overtime from their developers as punishment and do it again in 2 years. the people making these decisions are not doing it based on market data, you aren't Cesar Chavez versus the grape industry.

it's ethnical to pirate every game imo. well, maybe not some indie stuff. but it's basically the same argument of whether shoplifting makes you a bad person. i think it's completely outside the level of personal morality.

You should not post about the game because it is AIDS and results in people posting long rear end essays which say things like "capitalist hell world" in them and also because a British person made it

Sadly this.

I can imagine some well-meaning people that are enjoying this game and want to talk about it, are now completely put off and will remain silent because of this idiotic crusading bullshit.

It's not hard, don't use a video game thread on an internet forum as your personal political soapbox, and don't become an activist here. And definitely don't interpret the unwillingness of people to go stand on your little soapbox as a form of transphobia, what the gently caress.

This whole thread is out of order. Now back to video games. I am playing Age of Empires 2, you should do the same.

My young son started crying and made me delete the game when (I think late in the first part of the game spoiler) Guybrush needs to get a branch off a tree, depicted as this ethereal woodland sanctuary, and he proceeds to gently caress it up royally resulting in the tree being absolutely shredded and woodland creatures crying and on fire, as a comedy "wow Guybrush really hosed it up in a way that shouldn't even be possible because he's that much of an idiot" bit, that unfortunately went over my son's head. Oh well. Looking hella-forward to playing Like A Dragon: Ishin! next week.

That is a game I definitely have installed and put on backlog but I'm thinking more a game about sailing a ship around a pretty map while stealing things from the Spanish and French.

If memory serves you get all the other Yakuzas with it so yes, although some Yakuza games may have been removed.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

That's hilarious. My own schadenfreude is that I picked up Totally Reliable Delivery Service last year to play with my partner, we hated it.
Turns out it's a complete hit at my kid's school because it's really wacky and you can jump into online multiplayer really easily. My 8yo loves it and he doesn't care about actually delivering packages at all. I guess €7.50 well spent after all. :shobon:

I forget the exact game but I was telling my wife about one of the jRPGs where the main deal is that you're running an item shop and once it dawned it on her she said "hang on, this supposedly enjoyable game involves you working retail?!" and...well...that was the end of that conversation.

You just died and have no memories of who you were or how you just died. Your "soul" however has the ability to travel from object to object. And you can rewind to segments in time in which you use your powers to travel via objects and manipulate them to change events (mostly preventing people from dying). Eventually a story unfolds where you find out just who you were and how things came to be.

The main creator of the game is also credited with the Ace Attorney series. They play nothing alike, but you can definitely feel that both of those share DNA.

The original version of the game was released on the DS and later received a HD port for iOS. I imagine that version was used as a starting point for the upcoming ports.
