Maybe rage at being forced to churn out a totally unnecessary sequel? We know that their relationship with Activision was a little bit fraught.

I know a guy who quit when marketing forced them to add the ability to burn human beings alive in COD5 because it ranked highly on a bullet-point-poll taken in a mall

It’s a buyable theory, but it also aligns perfectly with my ā€œwe made it crazy on purpose to expose all the liesā€ argument.

Artistic Intent is bullshit. But in execution MW1 is culturally reflective this is modern war through the lense of a video game. (or the reverse). Then MW2 is MW1 through the lense of a Hollywood Blockbuster. I don’t feel like I’m smart (or eager) enough to write an essay explaining this execution but both games are at least smart enough that the experience of playing them is an essay.

This feels like I’m shutting down dialog. Reading MW1 and 2 discussions involves me looking at every post on every side and going ā€œyes.ā€

no dragon quest the first jrpg ever

this looks terrible, just like the new anime, and just like the manga has been for years. who’s in charge of this stuff? why wouldn’t it be given to a developer like platinum (who’ve even expressed interest in doing a berserk game) or fromsoft? only in a perfect world, i guess. that music is awful, too — but i suppose there’ll never be a match for berserk quite like susumu hirasawa.

rip berserk?

(i’ll swallow all these words if this thing actually turns out to be halfway good. ps4 godzilla quality at least.)

The first/best Dead Rising could be getting a remaster? Hopefully they keep MT Framework

i mean yeah true

still though, berserk stuff is cool in dsouls because berserk was cool for a time

and it would be cool to have cool berserk things! imo

(yeah i mean sure it doesn’t really matter but yeah i mean yeah)

yep that was bad and this sort of thing is why berserk has become bad

one of those recent movies did this, too

(rip berserk)

Kentucky Route Zero Act IV is available now! I can’t wait to get home and play through it again.
