I think I get it.

The nerds built up and supported their hobbies for years and were abused, at least in part, for it by normies.

Then one day their hobbies become cool and the normies start to push into the nerds' space and start telling the nerds that their hobbies need to change to accommodate the new crowd.

No one is telling them they can't like marvel or game of thrones or esports or anything like that. They can deal with it.


I didn't say people are trying to say they can't like those things.

I'm referring to things like when the people pushing their way into the subculture start saying things like "video games need to grow up", etc.

Hey, like the author said, she never played the game. Gotta wait until he shows up in a trailer.

This game is in quite a position. No matter what they do to the original game, every scene, mechanic, feature, (altered or unchanged) is going to be met with scrutiny and negativity in some fashion. I cant imagine there being a way for this game to be seen in a positive light. Certainly not the way the original is/was regarded or even how some of the more successful remakes in recent memory have accomplished this.

Its something to talk about at least...


The best they can do, I figure, is make the game as faithful to the original as possible while also making it look really pretty.

Why is Kotaku on such a roll for the most mentally challenged articles in the span of a month? >_>

Gotta make that ad money to pay the loans on all the worthless courses they took in college.


Now that you say that, after a quick googling of the author's name, one of the first hits was an interview with her from a couple years ago in which she mentions credit card companies calling her every day for the money she owes them.

I do not get white people, or rather white liberals. Really. They will call the police on black people NOT committing crimes just existing, not answer the door for black salesmen, call police on black firefighters, call police on black policemen, call police on black men babysitting, call police on black women waiting in the rain for a fucking bus seven feet from their stoop in the ghetto they're gentrifying...but can muster up this white guilt for reporting an actual god damned crime.

Explain yourselves.

1. i highly doubt the ones calling the cops on black people for having a BBQ are all "white liberals"
2. this one probably fake article is an indication of what every "white liberal" does?


This does make me wonder, how many of the high profile calls on black people for no reason came from metropolitan blue states/counties/cities?

To be fair, probably not a lot of white people named "Kwame Akroma-Ampim Kusi Anthony Appiah".

Same reasons as white people, Asian people, etc.

Yup

Question should be "why don't black people like more anime than just DBZ?"


They like Naruto too.

Yeah it's kinda the surface level stuff, and it might be because black people ostracize each other more for liking "weird" stuff, so you don't see as many black anime fans unless they're from a middle class background.

I know in Final Fantasy Tactics you can recruit random generated characters into your army, but they are usually supplanted by named characters who are better (Agrias, Orlandu, TG Cid, etc). Does the same thing happen here?

Basically, I want to know how much time and energy to invest into hiring randomly generated scrubs.


Yes.
