Salt and Sanctuary is an actual 2D Soulslike game. Hollow Knight is a straight up Metroidvania with a straight up FromSoft plot and look. Like way more a FromSoft aesthetic in that regard than most of these Soulslikes.

Yeah, there's been a lot of hate regarding her, Asmongold, and other streamers having official pawns in the game. I think I've seen more directed at Asmongold than the others.
Asmongold is a bit of a different situation than the rest, and not a conversation I want to start in earnest. I will say though he may have the most actual fans mad at him.

The difference between this and all the other games Capcom did this with us that this one runs like booty. It's a jumping off point to draw ire, compared to all the other games that had it that ran perfectly (I don't know about MHW, forgive me if that one had problems).

If RE4 was having framerate issues, I guarantee buying Golden Tickets would have SIDDENLY become an enormous problem.
BG3 has no MTX, but it had actual insane performance issues and broken quest lines at launch after like 4 years of early access and it barely got flack even for that. So I don't think it's quite that cut and dry.

The one thing that's categorically false, though, is that it has anything to do with the Chun Li incident, as funny as that seems.

Not only does Enigma predate SF6, it doesn't impact the ability to replace external file based textures. Which is how SF6 works with "custom outfits" so to speak.

They had to be clear about time zones. Theoretically they could have gone the rest of this game never nailing down a particular locale.

I have a friend who started the game with me so we could play online together

But he got a little bit ahead of me, and soul memory fucked us lol. So we had to sit down, come up with a complicated formula, and i had to eat every single one of my boss souls (it felt wrong, but i already have my weapon so whatever), and i barelyyyy made it into the same soul threshold as him.

And then we spent all last night exploring Shulva, and man it was amazing! Its such a labyrinth of traps and puzzles and none stop enemies. Like a whole ass dungeon never before seen in fromsouls and the likes of which we havent seen since

And its funny because on one hand dark souls ii has all this amazing content, but on the other its blocked by convoluted bullshit like soul memory, and that just sums up this game so perfectly
Soul Memory is such shit. Especially since it's Souls earned and not Souls spent, including Souls you permanently lost. They wanted to solve the ganking issues of DS1, when the obvious answer (and the one they'd implement in later games) is to also match by equipment level.

Like for all the shit ADP gets, and rightfully so, this is the one that I don't see why they ever thought it'd be a good idea in the first place.

You didn't do criticism for the record, and I treated it with the same playful lack of respect you give to me, so lol.
If that were all it were, you wouldn't call people "Blue MAGA" repeatedly, or feel the need to defend it half as hard each time you do. You'd abandon it as a jab that fell flat and move on. But you keep going back to it knowing that people will likely call you out on it because you truly believe it fundamentally.

I went back to find the exchange you were talking about and I don't think Biden is even specifically mentioned by anyone. I mean he probably was but the conversation is about trans rights wrt the major parties, and a damn sight more genuine by everyone involved than what you're doing by co-opting it.

It's kinda nothing but also serves its purpose and doesn't overstay its welcome. Furthermore, the major plot development of 1-2's murder kickstarting the series proper would make lingering here a worse decision than when other games do it.

If Trump never won, the steam valve would have been released somewhat, and I think the GOP would try to run likeBloomberg, or some big business dude.
Honestly, and in hindsight , the GOP was on the path to have someone like Trump since the Tea Party took off. They didn't need a Trump to lose to avoid it. They needed a Romney to win.

Ten years ago I'd say that at least depends on what constitutes a major party in countries not tied down to a 2 party system.

Now Rs chased away all their own more (relatively) moderate politicians. But also those parties in other countries have gained more ground. So, whatever

Edit: This is in regards to Rs being the most conservative major party. Typed slow I guess

Good take except for saying that audiences are "extremely smart." That's just hilarious. People are stupid as fuck, that's why these corporations try, and do, get away with so much bullshit.

Yes and no. People like to say that media literacy is at an all time low but really it's more that people like to show their ass for no reason on social media. And by no reason I usually really mean shoehorn things into an unflinching worldview, but I digress.

I'd say that "extremely smart" is too far and probably pandering, but even if audiences aren't smarter I would say they're more discerning. If for no other reason, there are too many movies and shows and etc in this genre to watch everything by most people's standards.

However, even if I'm just completely off base, budgets are simply too bloated for the same wide-net tactics to work, let alone to continually dig deeper.
