Angel Beats is incredibly rushed, clumsily executed, and kind of silly all around.

And I fucking adore it anyway. Maybe you just have to have had a certain kind of experience with life for it to resonate with you like it's supposed to.

My only prediction is Angel Beats makes top 10, because people either tend to absolutely love it or absolutely despise it and if it got this far it's probably still sticking around for a good while longer.

Designing games purely to appeal to nostalgia, like I Am Setsuna or Yooka-Laylee.

I love Chrono Trigger as much as the next guy but you can't just create a game similar to Chrono Trigger and base all your marketing around how much like Chrono Trigger it is and just hope to invoke the same kind of feelings and enduring praise that Chrono Trigger did. Games like that had a magic to them that can't be replicated.

You can be inspired by nostalgic games from bygone years without being a slave to them. It's very obvious to a player when a game is a hollow shell of whatever its inspiration was. Take the core of the experience and use it to make something actually new.

I don't think it's a ridiculous idea to suggest that the woman who's spent all of her recent history doing little more than hitting opponents with her ass and not being treated as a serious competitor has lost a good bit of her shine as a potential star. Maybe, just maybe, what WWE is telling you isn't true, and you can't just rebuild a wrestler from months of bad booking with one big win whenever you want.

That said, I don't have my finger nearly enough on the pulse of current WWE fans to say for sure.

Mine came in as Midnight hit (for the East Coast).

Iceman sent me:
Trails in the Sky SC
Saints Row IV (GotC edition)
Ys Origin

Wew, my RPG winter will be off to a great start. Although SR I might not get to for a while, but trying out the Ys series and probably getting a new TitS run in should be fun. But jeez, heavy spending. Thank you a lot Iceman.

No problem! I was glad to see a fairly RPG-heavy wishlist since that's the genre I'm the most familiar with by far. SC immediately became one of my favorite games when I played through it this past summer so I definitely had to gift that. Ys Origin is the Ys game I've liked best out of the ones I've played and I saw you had a game or two from the series on your list, so I figured that'd be a good surprise pick without going too far off the wishlist. And Saints Row I just tossed in for variety.

Hope you enjoy!

Look, my basic point right now is: there is a definite section of fans that go out of their way to s*** on WWE as a company and approach the company with an extremely negative mindset. That this has happened is mostly WWE's fault for being such a s***ty company, but it exists nonetheless.

There's obviously a section of fans like this, yeah, but I think it's tiny compared to the section that despises the company for perfectly legitimate reasons. And I don't think there's anyone in this topic that belongs to that first section.

Well, the goal of that corporate nonspeak isn't to get over. It's a symptom of Vince's embarrassment to be known as a wrestling company.


Yeah but the corporate nonspeak is a weight on the show.

Like can you imagine Austin getting over as a bad was while having to shill for fucking Subway like Ryback had to?

Or even The Rock if he had been forced to say The Millions AND MILLIONS of WWE UNIVERSE MEMBERS WHO LIKE THE ROCK.

Or if they had to dedicate TV time trying to grt over shit that only their shareholders could possibly care about.

Like getting over the current talent and current angles are like their 5th and 6th priorities overall and then we all sit here and bitch about them having no good angle and no good stars.

Of course they don't! They arent even really trying to have either!

I agree with you, dude. The dumb shill stuff was a large part of why I quit watching.

It just sounded like you were saying the goal of that was to get people over. If that's not what you meant, my bad.

I really don't think they do.

This perception that "smarks" go out of their way to hate on WWE is so ridiculous. They don't have to go out of their way - WWE really is that bad. They insult their audience's intelligence almost every minute and hate being even associated with the word "wrestling."

There are way more examples of people being 100% right on their predictions of their booking being terrible than there are of scenarios where it turned out to be pretty innocuous.

I just can't wrap my head around the wait-and-see attitude that fans still have for WWE booking. What have they done in the modern era to deserve that benefit of the doubt? Hell, what have they done ever?

There are exactly two real stars in the company right now: Ronda and Becky. Ronda, from what I understand, has been booked strong since the beginning. Becky caught lightning in a bottle because fans revolted Daniel Bryan-style in reaction to horrendous booking.

Even if you want to cling to the ludicrous idea that this arc of Becky's was intended from the beginning, there's a loooooot more Rusevs in the company than there are Beckys.
