P4 was loving terrible with LGBT+ issues.

Like, man, I clung to "Kanji is gay" a long time but the moral of that story was "it's okay to like 'feminine' things, it doesn't make you The Gay."

yes, the moral of 'there's no such thing as something 'too girly' for a guy to enjoy and no you liking to sew doesn't in any way change who you are', what a regressive moral especially coming from a place where gender roles are still a pretty rigid thing to most of the conservative sections of society and all...

As a gay guy I'm really loving happy the moral WASN'T 'no you silly you were exactly right you liking to sew was a sign of your gayness, because you see that is a known Gay Trait and if you check that box you love cock'. That would have been a loving horrible moral in a game where finding the true you despite others' views is a major theme. You're literally mad the moral wasn't 'societal bigotry is correct'.

Thank you. Seriously. You're calling out something that's really pervasive.

I'm willing to call Naoto's stuff a perspective thing. Friends who are trans/queer have told me opinions of it ranging from 'I actually cried it hit me so well' to 'this is a loving horrible storyline that lowered my opinion of the game' so I'll defer to that as proof that this is a more subjective part of the game's handling GSM issues.

If you're not down with Kanji's story was a really solid commentary of adolescent views of sexuality and gender roles I 100% don't believe you got the point of it, though.

Yosuke probably should have been told to shut the gently caress up more, though, yea. They kinda lean on the assumed 'get it he's an rear end in a top hat' stuff without any one actually saying 'god drat it Yosuke shut up about Kanji already' and that would have helped that, especially with Yosuke's story being 'hey I get I'm an rear end in a top hat, I wanna be better though'.

Persona is pretty poor about tying the confidant stuff back to the main story line, and it''d be really cool if they made an effort in the future to try that out more. if you'd done Yosuke up to a certain point he should stop being an rear end in a top hat about Kanji, for example. In P5 at one point you can tell Ryuji "I was on a date" and one of the two possible people you could have been on a date with are standing RIGHT THERE and they don't say a word if it was them.

It'd really help bring the world to life and flesh the characters out some but on the other hand, that's a lot of effort since you could be at literally any point on a social link with someone and you'd have to take that into account.

-is good (as I literally already said) but doesn't need the gay panic element

Wanting to believe that it's this in depth commentary on how kids see things is wishful thinking, we literally see how this team views LGBT folks in 3, Catherine, and 5. 4 is in line with this, not a standout.

Yes, it could be used as that in a different game, but it's not being used that way here.


Naoto's story is a different kettle of fish entirely that I'd rather just not get into.

I'll save you all the time of clicking on this waste of an article.

Thomas Mahler, the CEO and Game Director of Moon Studios and the mind behind Ori and the Blind Forest, says that he's confident that Bloodborne 2 will be announced at E3 2017.

“I'm 99% certain we'll see it :)” Mahler wrote...

Straight from the completely unrelated horse's mouth, a bullshit statistic improvised on the spot.

I only got as far as the title mentioning E3 and I decided it didn't matter, good to know I was right. E3 is so utterly useless unless you want to get hyped up for something that might show up 2 years from now, or if it's Nintendo announcing something (though to be fair in recent years they've been beset by delays). The fact that the article was apparently "some guy said some thing on some forum" makes it somehow more meaningless.

Watching the Ride to Hell: Retribution LP. I'm on episode 16, right where YouTube poo poo itself and majorly desynched video/audio, but something I haven't seen them address yet is the fact that you BUY weapons, but it works off of halo/gears of war rules where you can only have two weapons you pick up at a time. You have to rely on the level to spawn the weapon you want. It's just... So lovely...

Edit: system reboot fixed the desync issue. God, this LP is so good. :allears:
