I still think it�s kind of bs to insinuate she�s a lying grifter though.

didnt she think the faust hat in dmc5 was a microtransaction mechanic (because it fires red orbs and you could buy a single red orb pack as dlc)

It's Dragons Dogma 1 but bigger, if you like DD1 then DD2 is a sure thing, feels like a more well realized version of the first game about 20 hours in.

The MTX stuff causing this huge backlash for Dragons Dogma 2 of all things baffles me also. I get the distaste for MTX in general, and I also get giving Capcom poo poo for forcing this poo poo on their developers, but I don't get why Dragons Dogma 2 of all things is getting it so much worse than any of their past games, or any of DD2's contemporaries.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth JUST came out and had nowhere near this level of backlash for it's MTX, said MTX is worse cause nothing they are selling you can get in game.

dragon's dogma 2 has more friction between the player and the game than most big games (certainly way more than ff7r2) and people who aren't familiar with the first game can only conceive of this as a trick to get you to buy the DLC. thats why their brains glitch out when yuo tell them the DLC barely even helps

i mean even if you could buy infinite red orb packs the hat takes an absolutely miniscule amount to use and the whole idea of the hat is you earn more for killing enemies with it, its a risk/reward thing, but the reward is weighted extremely heavily in your favor. and you could always just get more red orbs to fuel it by... using your other weapons?

As far as Sterling talk goes, my first exposure to her was a video where she was complaining about DLC characters in MKX (I think) and said something to the effect that every character should return in every game, and I was like "lol absolutely not," so I haven't really paid much attention to her since.

meat is absolutely critical to mortal kombat and any attempt to remove him is a crime

Not really sure if "you suck if you play these games" is their thing, but it's not surprising gamers take it that way because gamers have incredibly thin skin when it comes to criticism of things they like.

I'll admit I watch much less of their content these days cause it is a bit repetitive, but boy if I dont side eye anyone who complains a bit too loud about them.

i think the person who lies a bunch and yells at people on twitter when they disagree is not good, gomen

and went out of their way to quote tweet random 30 follower accounts who said 'idk i like sonic frontiers' so they could be harassed off the internet

"JSS is bad because they put randos on blast for disagreeing with them" is a different argument then "JSS made fun of, and was slightly incorrect about my niche game with bad MTX"

the former has not come up until your last post.

If they're putting rando, non chuddy assholes on blast like that, that sucks. But also, I feel like "so and so's audience went too aggro on some random person" is something I've seen from a TON of content creators and how hardly they seem to be admonished for it sometimes feels like it's matter of how much slack goons want to cut them.

i mean, the latter is also bad, op. when your job is informing people, outright lies (and then making fun of people who correct those lies) is not good behavior. if the MTX is bad, then reporting on it truthfully is how you portray it.

like 'all actions are permissible because Gamers are Bad' is a really lazy way of looking at things

no the problem with limbus is its written by edgy teenagers who think gore is just the coolest thing in the universe and love nothing more than writing hosed up torture porn. the summary of every game is 90% of the cast dies and everything sucks forever and limbus opens with "this is our DEATH BUS it EATS CORPSES isnt that AWESOME" and every single loving character is an rear end in a top hat who loves violence and murders for no reason and of course the 1 kinda normal character gets turned into a monster and murdered and i just gave up because loving hell

thats the cool part

The actual problem with Limbus is that the CEO kowtowed to the South Korean incels/chuds who are massive misogynists that were offended that a "summer" servant didn't have her tits out so they went on a witch hunt to get the artist fired, found out he was a guy, and then instead went after one of the two story CG artists because she was a woman who had an old deleted social media post saying she thought it should be illegal for men to take creep shot photos of women on public transportation. So they accused her of being a feminist and the CEO fired her and she disappeared for almost a year.

This also set off witch hunts on other south Korean games (and this one) to have them remove anything that resembles the pinch emoji since that is obviously saying a guy's dick is small and is misandry/etc.

It ain't great being a lady in South Korea.

this is the bad part

Good youtuber Moon Channel did a two-part documentary on the South Korean gender wars if you want more on that stuff. Mind you, it's a depressing watch, poo poo is not great for anyone over there. Hyper capitalism + hyper Confucianism, great combination.

these vids place a weird amount of emphasis on the confucianism stuff tbh, it feels mildly orientalist

oh, for sure, the main vibe/issue im kinda getting is like, christianity stuff in america is something a large portion of the population still directly adheres to, while the Confucianism stuff in korea is more baked into the social structures/societal expectations than an active force in the modern day, if that makes sense? theres a reason i said 'mildly', its not that big a deal, more just some of the phrasing he uses

What's Korean anime called? I know there's a manga/manwha/manhua difference for Japan/Korea and China but I don't know if there's a distinction for that too.

chinese animation is called donghua, korean is called aeni. while theres a few cn original animation productions a year there arent that many korean ones, most korean animation studios are either adapting jp properties or are outsourcing houses for japanese studios.
