from the comparison video in that article the changes are so minor I don’t know why they even bothered, especially when the game is a decade old at this point. A character being sexualized marginally less (but still plenty sexualized) isn’t gonna change anyone’s minds if they weren’t into the game’s hyper-sexualized aesthetic before. Literally the only people who will give a poo poo are that people that are mad at it.

if you own Skullgirls on your steam account, please leave a positive review for it supporting their decisions. the worst people in the world have managed to take it from mostly positive to mostly negative recently, people who are literally angry they edited sprites to remove red armbands and nazi-style imagery from a bad guy faction, gave Filia a skirt extension so she's no longer flashing her panties with every move, and removed a voice pack that had some real sketchy lines in it.

even if you've never played or care about the game(neither have the people leaving negatives), leaving a quick positive review to counteract the shut-in garbage review bombing it for these changes would be cool. anything to deny hateful incel garbage even a single win in this world is a worthy endeavor, and giving the devs support for cleaning up their game is a good thing.

I think these changes have come about mostly due to the ouster of Mike Z, noted creepy racist who ran the company so badly and harassed employees so much that the entire company told him to get out, and Alex Ahad, who created the character designs and clearly had some capital P Problems with women

FPS where you create a loadout with your loot and spawn into a 20-minute raid with other players competing for more loot against AI opponents. If you can extract without being killed by other players or AI, then you keep the loot for another raid. If something kills you or time runs out before you can get to an exit, you lose your loot.

You tend to die in a small number of hits, depending on armor/headshots and how much healing gear you've got.

Minor Zelda quest spoilers, so avoid this if you don't want to read that.

The new Zelda has a quest where the only solution as far as I can tell is to get thrown in jail. And then the only way to get thrown in jail is by creeping on the morning class of Gerudo children three times in a row. Eventually, the teacher calls the guards on you.


Can anyone tell me if I'm wrong regarding that being the only solution? Because it's a little :yikes:.

I was gonna try The Cycle but the cheater talk scared me away p fast. Tarkov is stupid popular so it's a constant arms race between the devs and cheaters, and the frustration is compounded significantly when you do all the complicated inventory/loadout bullshit and some dude one taps you while flying 75 feet in the air

lol this completely misses the essence of what extraction shooters are.

an extraction shooter is just the latest iteration of the exact same dogshit fad chasing that resulted in five million dead battle royale games. they've got a different name and a slightly different coat of paint but they're trying to break into the same market and are equally uninspired attempts at creating some new always online gaas trash that publishers hope will become the next fortnite. they just haven't accepted that the gaas battle royale genre is already at capacity yet like they did with mmos and mobas, but I'm sure that as soon as the next actually original and popular game comes out nobody will ever make an extraction shooter again
