it was basically bad since they started localizing it until the most recent one, the early ones were pretty good as like, pre-matsuno console SRPGs, at least competitive with shining force and langrisser

I wouldn’t necessarily accept that the Matsuno style is a strict improvement over Fire Emblem’s simplicity, but the Matsuno-directed games are better.

kinda curious about what you mean cause people endlessly praise the gba games so I thought those were supposed to be good.

personally have a hard time ever feeling fire emblem cause I never care about anything going on or the characters and I always quit about halfway through

this thread is fun

damn, i don’t like giant bomb anymore but it still hurts to see people be openly mean about them.

that’s a Stadia Creative Director, who almost certainly is absorbing a metric hectare of insults every day, but really should know better than to sass back

As someone who deals with adult students Three Houses made me uncomfortable in many ways. Like many games it’s too long for its own good and the timeskip only provides fleeting thrills.

ohh i didn’t know that. wow what a FOOL Mr. Stadia is.

that’s a weird track to take because even though that, yes, literally every time you mindlessly agree to EULAs you agree to not rebroadcast the game, no one is going to do that in the West because it opens a floodgate of backlash (not even going to touch the legality of streaming in Japan, y’all over there can have fun sorting that out)

this is ignoring that, you know, Stadia is even less real than the licenses we get for games now

also last time I checked Giant Bomb is still profitable before ad sales

yeah this is particularly weird because Giant Bomb was so prescient about the current state of games media, editorial quality notwithstanding

maybe he’s been sitting in meetings with youtube people for so long he hasn’t seen the sun and/or twitch

oh so guy is tweetstorming because he wants streamers to pay a cut of their revenue to pubs for the games they stream

good thing other people are already calling out the problem

Wow, that’s…real dangerous to say in a world where his voice is projecting how Stadia might treat people making secondary content off of it

it’s hilarious scrolling back through this person’s twitter because it’s just like, random signal boosts and totally meaningless statements about random pop culture things that get almost no attention and then suddenly he has The Worst Take

this is all the more hilarious considering that Among Us released two years ago with extremely little word until very recently when it became The Current Most Popular Videogame thanks to being streamed and they had to cancel the sequel to help support the original

now it’s a cultural touchstone being played by Ilhan Omar & AOC and Stadia is currently not compatible on new chromecasts because ?
