Just want to point out, I’m growing a conspiracy theory where Rockstar is secretly trying to get videos removed of people claiming that the GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition is not good.

With the exceptions of The Professional and Modern Vintage Gamer, I had to seriously lurk all the way down to see videos where it seemed that actual fans of the series did not like the rushed product that was being given to, or downloaded straight from the online stores.

I think even Adam Warski made a video about it, but I can’t find it, hilariously enough. Maybe he deleted it, but I’m not too sure.

They had a similar problem with the PS3 and PS4 versions where one was clearly the mobile version and that did generate some controversy. Not to the same extent but they were not the same product despite being advertised as such.

It's just a real fucking shitshow, I'd compare it to the issues with The Master Chief Collection because that also had perfectly functioning previous alternatives yet somehow performed less and it took months of patches to iron out most of the problems.

This really feels like they rushed it to get it out for Black Friday and the holiday shopping season.
 
So, Bobby Kotick. Will he stay? Will he leave? Personally, I am rooting for him to stay, cause it's always fun looking at bliz employees crunching in the name of uncle Bobby and walking around with lgbt pins. The article also features the recent female lead Jenn O'neal that seemed to suddenly understand that she has to actually work was nothing more then a token (lmao, who could have thought).
 
I would have been on the side of the workers if it had been just crunch and fair working conditions, but now that it's about MeToo no one is going to take the right lessons from this and instead it's just going to be used as justification for more woke shit.

Rather than fair pay for all actiblizz is gonna get away with hiring more diversity hires to suck oxygen and nothing else while the people who actually want to work or actually do their jobs will be stuck with the same problems as before but with extra witch-hunting for wrongthink. Their fault for working in games I guess but I also understand liking the industry but hating your employer and wanting to stay for that reason.

No anything related to Bobby is going to be similar to what happened to other CEOs who did things similar. Other people in the company take over and they move the company in a different direction. MeToo bullshit can be the excuse, but it's not the reason.

Let's be real though. This was going to happen anyway. ActiBlizz is already down the shitter.
 
Anyone willing to bet how many gaming journalists will slander Thanksgiving tomorrow while having to again question what this has to do with video games?

I’m placing bets that they will do this while playing a game of Battlefield 2042.
 
Looks like the constant Sony white-knighting didn't sadly grant Marissa Moira any special favor for the PS4's box art

They've literally spread the characters vertical for the switch cover and spread wider for the ps4.

Kanna is further out on the PS4 cover because she's not in Tohru's hair loop

Kobayashi is touching Touru's horn on the PS4 version because the ps4 case is shorter due to the blue bar.

Are you going to proclaim that they're censoring kneecaps on the switch version because Elma's knees are obstructed by the title where as the ps4 version she's further out from where the title is? Hell Lucoa's legs are not visible at all in the switch cover.

Every single character has it's image unchanged. And this is really grasping at straws to proclaim a kind of censorship.

Really? Are we so starved for news we're talking about positioning on a cover?

What are we, the CIA looking at who's seated where during a military parade?

People are wishing censorship to become this big huge looming entity(every molehill must be a mountain) so they can finally rally together and banish their ideological enemies/feminists/sports games once and for all back into the dark portal. So things can return to normal and they can waste hundreds of dollars on gatcha games while just admiring youtube videos of actual games they'll never play and having serious discussions on fan art they saw on social media.

When both sides go down in flames of irrelevancy, my only wish is that they take the My Hero Academia fans with them

I don't see anything, the individual images all look unchanged, but they're just placed different due to size formatting dimensions.

What a strange coincidence that whenever a fanservice anime game has to rearrange the box art for Sony, they always seems to rearrange it in such a way that covers any skin, cleavage, or anything that could be considered remotely sexual.

Pretty sure I can still see Lucoa's cleavage on both boxes.

Besides does anyone realize what genre the game even is? It's a shooter, you're not even going to be up close in any way to a character while in game. If they're buying for fan service they're going to be in for a disappointment.


Here you know what, they're already showing the collector's box which is going to be the same for the PS4 and Switch
pictureineedpicturesofdragons.png

Left is the outer box for both games, entirely different illustration, center is the art book, left is a card. You'll notice that the images are all repositioned around for the card and guidebook due to each character just being an image on a different layer that's moved around to fit the dimensions. The card and book both have different dimensions than both game covers.

It's is shaping up to be another false flag like the Demon Slayer incident when people didn't realize that Cyber Connect really did use black blood for everything because they're that fucking lazy. Those Outrage merchants must really be hurting this holiday season.
