I know of a few people who bought it and tried it out but I can’t think of anyone who stuck with it. I had the Sorcerer’s Stone game for GBA when I was a kid, and it was atrocious for a game based off an IP. The Jimmy Neutron game was more balanced for fucks sake.

Croccers posted:Something I noticed about it is that when it came out, at least online, it got shouted down in a good number of places and folks were 'scared' to talk about it, but even in RL meat space it seemed to disappear off of people's tongues quite fast. Well yeah because at the end of the day it was a big budget IP shovelware. It’s just IP shovelware sells especially for Harry Potter which doesn’t have a ton of games relative to what it was and apparently still is

Edgar Allen Ho posted:Yeah, the decision to show young actors doing the thing is questionable. But like, even on the left it got specific criticism for choosing to have 3/4 titular Cuties be not-white-french while ignoring that it’s a semi-autobiography and who Maïnamoura Doucouré is. Curious what this means. Why would it be criticized for having non-white people in it?

Jen heir rick posted:Curious what this means. Why would it be criticized for having non-white people in it? Because people(mostly US and Canada) saw the bad parts and assumed it having french immigrant kids was racism by the the director, and not, you know, reality? Because the story was focused on racism in France, and it would be nonsense if all the kids were white french? It was left idiots criticizing a black, muslim, sénégalaise award winning director, that they didn't know was from that background, they had never heard of, for racism, because she portrayed reality using black kids. Yeah, the criticicism is often more racist than the actual film especially because they can't even speak french so it's more often angry about a translation, or an angry right right wing lunatic on about sick wokies If you are calling me a racist because I actually understand why it was that, well, gently caress you idiot

If I remember the "Cuties" controversy right, what also didn't help was that when Netflix presented the movie to English-speaking audiences they chose a different poster than in France, one that was, uh, a lot more sexualizing of the girls.

Vib Rib posted:Yeah, the weird sexism about "see, women like THIS kind of horror" stood out. And as some people have pointed out the article is also written like someone has just discovered horror and now thinks they have wild truths no one else has thought of, spitting "insights" many decades old, but also worse and less informed. As a woman who loves horror this poo poo is unfortunately common. I love the new haute, A24 horror but Christ some of the dumbest intellectual takes have stemmed from it.

What game was the turning point? I don't even think that ever did change, there were just rare exceptions. Most of which weren't actually games licensed to movies coming out right then, but were usually just games that happened to share the IP. (As mentioned, Goldeneye, The Warriors, technically most Star Wars games.) What changed was that eventually studios just stopped making movie tie-in games for goddamn everything, probably around when HD gaming started coming around and suddenly the cost of making a game spiked up higher than the budget-to-profit ratio allowed. The last ones like that I can think of were the early MCU games Sega put out. After that point, the tie-ins stopped being the default and so the few licensed IPs you saw were the stuff that used to be the 'rare exceptions', where they clearly made a game in that property because they had an idea for that property, rather than just for the sake of it. A lot of it still sucks (see: Hogwarts Legacy, that Fast and the Furious game that came and went and nobody noticed), but it's got a higher hit rate. And of course, throughout all this the Lego games are off doing their own thing and not really fitting any of those molds super clearly. Cleretic has a new favorite as of 06:12 on Jun 10, 2023 |

Amazing Spider-Man 1 was pretty good, but it doesn't really count cause they've been building on the Spidey game formula since the PS1. X-Men Origins Wolverine was surprisingly good.

Arkham Asylum felt like the turning point for me, a random Batman game from a relatively unknown studio? I had no expectations for it, then I played the demo and it was loving incredible. Also the PS3/360 era was around the point where games got expensive enough to make that just making a crappy game to tie-in for a new movie release stopped being worth it. Look at how big the MCU got, and they stopped making games based on those movies after the first Captain America, there was no game for The Avengers movie, and nothing after that.

I found a lot of games even of the ps2 era that were not BAD, some of them had interesting ideas and were quite fun even if they weren't their generations Bayonetta. I think it's because a lot of them rip off successful games even if they don't do them as well, so something like Chicken LIttle: Ace in Action may not be brilliant but it borrows a lot from Ratchet and Clank so it has strong bones and some pretty funny writing too. On the other hand, I have a VERY high tolerance for poor gameplay, so I find a lot of games fun that other people hate.
