probably halfsies(maybe) again. i am honest surprised they havent made a female assassin(full game) outside aveline. Ubisoft is pretty progressive socially and unlike some companies, they usually do it really well. hopefully they do it in the next one.

To ask the thread a similar question: are there any pays of a game you love that other people seem to hate?

Like, for example, one of my favorite parts of Gunstar Heroes is the dice maze and I was really surprised to find out years later on the internet that people apparently hate that part and consider it a flaw in an otherwise perfect game.

"loot boxes are your fault as consumers for not throwing away your money senselessly at triple-a budgeted recycled mush" is not really a stance i can get behind

Cowcaster posted:

oh when you put it that way here giant corporations take my money i didn't realize you had it so hard

Cowcaster posted:

your point doesn't make sense because if lootboxes were designed to make up for lost revenue because of thrifty consumers why the gently caress has the amount of money being made by the industry tripled since they showed up

I'm phone posting from some sort of office purgatory right now so bear with my bad organization (or don't it's cool)

Basically all of the girls are romantic options and no guys are. There's still no choice of protagonist gender in the release version. Then there are the weird sexual situations with the female partly members and s.links. Kawakami and Ann's treatments by the protagonist and party members in light of the first antagonist and dungeon is profoundly bad and creepy, especially since those treatments are unoriginal, played for laughs, and pretty clearly meant to titillate a male audience. At least that's how I see it. So to me, that idea is strongly represented throughout the game.

What really makes me uncomfortable is that there's something about the tone in those scenes and in the game overall that makes me think the intended audience are older than the party members, so the sexual exploitation and abuse of minor high schoolers by adults in positions of authority is being played off for the enjoyment of adults. The veneer of one exploiter's punishment provides plausible deniability to the audience that they're not enjoying the sexual harassment and assault of kids, they're just vicariously living out the fantasy of hot for teacher and the near blackmail of a hot blond schoolgirl by someone we're supposed to sympathize with.

The type of players who dislike or outright hate lootboxes are people on forums like these who grew up paying $50-$60 single-player games and feel increasingly marginalized with where the gaming industry is going.

I'm still boggled by how the discussion surrounding dlc and loot boxes apparently needs more nuance than "Replacing a system where you purchase a thing with a system where you purchase a chance at that thing or nothing at all is a lovely, anticonsumer move regardless of what that thing is, which no other industry is allowed to do."

I wonder what will come out from AC Origins having game content literally locked out if you don't do a gamestop preorder, though. Probably nothing.

oh I thought 12 was the mmo for some reason

In Training posted:

oh i guess I havent played 11 but even as someone who can tolerate some MMO time every half a decade my understanding is that XI is just rear end in a top hat.

Cowcaster posted:

internet osmosis has given me a bit of an idea about 8 and 9 but all the double digit final fantasies are a big mystery lump to me. I know the new one is 15 and you drive a product placement porsche and eat food

edit: 13 has the girl named lightning as the main character and is kind of like mass effect maybe?

Bethsoft really are embracing the unintentional political statement they've created here. Good on them for it I guess but boy I really would like to know if it's a good game or not, and not their stance on nazis, because something tells me I already am aware of how they feel about them
