Sony postponing their presentation is a good call but it's also kinda funny they found another reason to not show people the PS5.

Not that many of Sonys 1st party games are actually made in Japan. All I can think of off the top of my head is Polyphony Digital, and Team Ico, and they both put out 1 maybe 2 games each console gen.

Despite the gameplay, GTA as a series glorifies the police and is part of the pro cop propaganda problem that inundates American media

this is true. there are hundreds of good cops in my gta game and there will soon be hundreds more

I recall reading something about how final fantasy game protagonists get read differently from america to japan, with many characters being read as ethnically asian in japan while being read as caucasian in america. I think the article in particular was talking about Cloud or Tidus as an example of the dual interpretations.

They always seem to have European-styled names, even in the original Japanese (I cannot verify that last part)

i mean theres def games from japan with euro/american characters in but a safe starting point in most games or anime is to assume the characters are japanese until told otherwise.

playing through assassin's creed origins it is simply incredible how when you activate an impale move the target bayek seems to hold as the highest priority is the invincible plot ally standing 180 degrees behind him

Tidus looks Japanese in FMV cutscenes. Squall kind of does too but that's more because he has the Japanese bad boy teenager thing going on.

Currently playing the HD version and the only time he or any character looks Japanese is during the FMV. The other 99% of the game he looks Caucasian. It's extremely jarring.

Yuna at least reads as Japanese throughout the whole game and it's simply more pronounced during the FMV.

Pro Control Tips: if you die to a boss, the game will spawn more dudes in the middle of your boss run

also your mind control will just randomly not work so watch for that

I need to see how bad this gets; I need to see if Control's going to do something like erase my loving save and expect me to go "WHOA SO META"

everyone else please save yourselves

it's like VA-11 HALL-A where I sat through it just because I was dumbstruck that anyone could hold up that kind of writing as professional work deserving of money

strip away the meme garbage and insipid OC background dumps, and you're left with "Jill was sad once and that's okay"

it's the most pointless story I've ever read but at least its failure states were predictable, consistent, and quickly recovered, which is more than I can say for Control

I feel like I'm in an alternate universe or something when goons talk about Control because to me it's a perfectly average game in terms of the difficulty. I died maybe a few times on the toughest bosses and yet you get screeds from people who wiped for two hours in the same exact spot.
