CE is angry all the time though. A lot of people on this forum are perpetually, angry, needlessly aggressive and abrasive over the most innocuous of things, as there are plenty of examples in this thread of so far. CE is also not a great metric for the rest of the world's behavior.

I dont recognize that Square is cashing in on still to this day the best selling FF game in 30 years and nerds are still lapping up a cash cow decades in the making for literal bread crumbs while willing being fleeced.

Holy shit lmao

yeah except the complaints aren't because of this, it's because of how nomura fucked up the story

just follow the damn script. whiners can complain about gameplay changes but there's no excusing fucking with the story. and false advertising this as a remake on top of that.

Nah its equally fucked up. Games are interactive stories. And how you interact with the game is just as important. Especially when Square is remaking their still highest selling FF game to date.

My number one complaint with modern gamers is story over anything else. Gears of War is a great example of a developer with a great story reselling stale controls and mediocre gameplay 6 times and gamers ate it up. And I bought 5 out of 6 of them so Im just as guilty.

FF7R is a horrible example since its taken a decade to make. But I dont think its impossible to make a modern version of games like FF7 or FF8 in a reasonable amount of time. I think its just Square that cant manage to do this.

But I will admit to knowing nothing about making games. BotW is pretty expansive and Nintendo managed to knock it out in a few years. And we might even see the sequel this Christmas. Though Im realistically not expecting it till sometime in 2021.

Longer maybe but thats just a function of being around for longer, Uncharted is being "milked" harder though

8 in 22 years vs 4 (main series only, 6 if you include everything) in 9 years

Thats a fair point. Plus I didnt know there was spin off Uncharted games. But to me neither series really changed or brought much new to their respective series with each additional game.

To be fair its different to come out when you have money rather than coming out when your broke and you're not sure if you'll have a place to live tomorrow.

But it is always good to live your true life

More accurately it's easier to do when you are a celebrity and are going to get positive attention by announcing your sexuality publicly vs possible negative attention as a non celebrity.

But yeah, I agree.

was your point that you don't understand the world changes with time?

That still doesn't support your claim that turn based RPG's don't sell. Which is what you claimed in this thread despite people posting numerous examples of turn based RPGs made in recent years that are selling well.

About the only thing that would even come close to your claim being correct is that Square turned FF7R into an action beat em up unlike the original FF7. And that's because, as Prismblade pointed out, Square is taking the safe route. Not because no one is/would buy a turn based RPG.

COVxy posted...

I don't think that's accurate. Usually turn-based fans are relaying that they don't like the actiony direction of the newer games, and the other side claims that turn based gameplay was simply a limitation of technology and nobody could really truly like it.

I think they are just very different play styles, of which I like both, but am sad that pretty much the main source of turn based RPGs has so systematically dried up.

Also tbf I guess CE isn't probably a good metric for how gamers in general view the two different styles. All that said I don't think technology does, or at least should, have any bearing on "weeding" out turn based RPG battle. It's as valid a gameplay style as 2D platformers are or 2D fighting games and those types of games are still being made today. Just because technology advances doesn't mean play styles should be left behind. As the above FF sales I posted show that turn based sells. But if Square never makes another turn based FF game, we can't accurately say that turn based FF will sell.

Thats kind of what im getting at. Like say youre attracted to a trans girl who dolled herself up for your first date, it goes well, you have sex and say in the morning when her make-up/hair/etc. fades and she looks more manly, if youre suddenly not attracted to her are you transphobic because she suddenly doesnt meet your personal standard for being womanly?

Like is she expected to be on point EVERY day so youll be attracted to her and cant have lazy pajama days?

But at the same time, can the guy be blamed for how he feels?

No one can control what theyre attracted to. In your scenario a man could find a non transgendered woman in a bar take her home and have sex with her and the next morning be like wtf? without the makeup, dress, wonder bra, heels, etc which all accentuate a womans physique.

I think in any situation like that transgendered or not its best for both parties to be honest upfront with what theyre feeling. As a relationship started on lies and deceit is just waiting to be a catastrophe. Societys opinion be damned.

What if a guy meets a girl who just transitioned and isnt attracted to her because she still looks a lot like her former male self, but over time as she starts to become more feminine he becomes attracted to her?

Is that normal, expected and totally fine or is he an asshole for requiring her to cross a certain threshold of womanly-ness?

Ah ok. I get what you are saying now.

That depends. I mean my wife is very tomboyish. Shes a jeans and t-shirt gal. But she knows how much dresses, high heels, nail polish, etc drive me wild. And she humors me so to speak because she knows I like seeing her in feminine attire. But I certainly dont require it if her. But nonetheless its extremely attractive to me when she does.

Some think that lines in the sand for how much of a woman they are should not be drawn.

I can see a heterosexual man saying I dont want to further this romantic/sexual relationship upon finding out she was born a man and still show her respect and acknowledge her gender identity. Attraction and respecting gender identity are not mutually exclusive.

Bad controls? Really? I mean outside of the Wii RE4 has worse controls than RE6. I can get people not liking game due to it being an action game over horror survival. But even then what were they expecting? RE4 was to an extent and RE5 was through and through.

I dont get how video games aren't liked by everyone. Like, I have so many beloved games I haven't even played yet. I can occupy myself with them for so long. I've been on the longest video game bender of my life for like a year and a half now with no end in site. No lifing them so hard after a long dearth

There is merit for some people to the saying "too much of anything is no good for you". I enjoy the time I have to game still at 42 years old because I work to provide for my family. Spend time with my wife, spend time with my kids. I do all the things I should (most times, never saying I haven't spent a whole day gaming) and want to do outside my own hobbies and then I enjoy them more. I'd feel guilty not taking care of my adult responsibilities first and spending time with my family.

I found in the three weeks I was quarantined at home from my job, nothing but gaming got old real fast. By the end of the first week I was disinterested in games and played them out of boredom. But that's just me. My wife just surprised me with buying me a new PS1 copy of FF8, so I might be gaming a little bit more here now, even thought I'm back at work now. :-)

If you can't afford to tip, don't go out to eat. Waiter shouldn't have been a dick, though.

That's not even really the case. I don't know a single sit down resturant, where you would tip, that doesn't allow you to order for carry out thereby bypassing "having" to tip. Honestly people in here calling waitstaff entitled are just as entitled themselves. If you don't want to spend your money on tipping then you absolutely don't have to.

I had almost 3 weeks off. I just came back to work today. By the end of it, I was ready to come back to work. Not necessarily because I wanted to work (though I work for great people and don't hate my job) but because I wanted to get out of the house for more than just the necessary trips to the grocery store.

I missed my wife and I's weekly date night.
Shopping together.
Taking the kids to the community pool.
And just going wherever I want.

Video games only entertained me for so long. And I ended up drinking too much all day. For like the first week it was nice. Like had more time with the wife *wink wink* and stuff, but still, being cooped up in the house plus the state plan for schooling at home, so my wife and I have to get them up and keep them on task all day till they get their school work done. Honestly work is far less stressful than being at home, even though there's still a lock down going.

this is the best way. then customers don't need to deal with entitled unskilled workers who each have differing expectations on what % tip is acceptable. and at the same time the dumb as fuck tipping cultire is also fucked off.

Money is money to me. Could care less either way if I get the end product or service at the cost I am willing to pay. I've tipped 20% on average my whole adult life and have never encountered these fabled entitled waitstaff. Not saying they don't exist. Just that I think they are fewer and far between than people would like others to believe.

Everyone. Everyone is a jerk.

Ive screwed up and not had money for a tip and apologized directly to the waitress. That courtesy should be common, but mistakes happen. Waitress is an ass for screaming "GIMME MINE!".

Its part of the job. A dentist cant smack a kid and tell him to fuck off for being a little shit. Its part of the job.

If the student writing this didn't embellish at all, I agree. Both parties are dicks about the situation. If you are going to sit down and eat at a restaurant, make sure you have the funds to pay the bill and tip. Don't be a cheap prick. Also don't be an entitled prick that chases patrons down when they stiff you. It's incredibly immature and unprofessional.

A lot of it is that people feel good about themselves in taking the perceived higher moral ground when it comes to what they feel the wealthy should do with their money. Ironically this is the same people that say the government isn't doing enough to help people in poverty. When in actuality any amount of money given to a good cause is money given to a good cause. And without these donations, no matter the size of them by any one individual, it gets the recipients relief, and that's really all that matters. Not that you get to bitch on the internet about the wealthy.
