Culture Wars General - KiA Diet Coke Edition

[BrokenWokenBespoken]

Counterpoint, if the chef had a lot of credentials he can do whatever the fuck he wants. Working in the restaurant sector and the biggest problem is getting to cooks to work and they will flex whatever privileges from being qualified and the busboy and service staff are not trained to cook so they have no say

The more appropriate term will be to release an unpopular food product when people are wanting more meat in a time when meat is not easily available because the corporate suits thinks Beyond Meat should be eaten by everyone and decided to put tariffs and import bans

I'll never get over what an absolute piece of shit Druckmann is. Any functional company would instantly fire anyone who said that stupid-ass shit. It's like if you hired a chef for your restaurant and he said he was literally just going to take a shit on a plate and serve it to you because "we don't use the word delicious here."

His next project is a multiplayer shooter set to be released where the market is full of multiplayer shooters and where Sony already profits heavily from stuff like Fortnite and also have now hired FPS devs to make new IPs that are specifically shooters.

He'll fail on his own merits just give it time. I know people hate him because he's a loudmouth poser but the next few things that ND are working on are both remaster related and are not new games. Insomniac has more new games they're working on than ND at this point. This also isn't factoring in the new studios that have been opened to be specific towards other genres that Naughty Dog used to do.

The thing that someone like Druckman wants most is attention. The worst thing that you yourself can do is give it to him.

He's butt buddies with Pete Davison. But given Steam has not treat VN devs well despite being a big market for a shrinking industry I am not surprised Lapchian took this move to avoid the same struggles Alicesoft and other VN devs deal with. Now they decided that it was easier to just cut losses in homes of going legit instead of being stuck in the stagnant R18 VN market and I think it's honestly a dumb move

Yeah, Steam with VN is pretty fucking weird. The problem is with Steam is that there's very little communication and its one strike and you're out. Its also highly arbitrary to whether you're approved or not and their criteria is very confusing and not really well regulated and understood. They really need two sperate divisions: One for adult games and one for everything else. But this is Steam we're talking about, efficiency and consistency are not their strong suits. Eventually I think itch.io is going to be the home of English adult games, since they're way more liberal than Steam is.

They promoted Druckman out of a competent position. Druckman is a condescending prick who HATED anything in TLOU 1 that wasn't his and took moves to burn down other people's characters. He's a vindictive little faggot that can't produce anything worthwhile and he and his little sycophants are infinitely ass-blasted Ghosts of Tushima was more well loved and recieved than TLOU 2 and will probably remain in memory longer.

He basically sucked his own cock with Abby and also treated his workers like shit.

I want shirtless barbarian men and chainmail bikini women again. Get some sword and sorcery up in here. Some Robert E. Howard shit, the good shit.

Yes, but itch.io is also politically "liberal" in that they've been vindictive fucks over someone's politics before.

So not much hope there, either.

Yeah, I know. I think its just going to go until DLSite releases its own client or something and has English translations. Steam is too unreliable and there are too many vindictive employees there with no accountability.

I think people are going to have start to put actual gameplay into their visual novels and realize that games are not just supposed to be watered down storyboards.

You raise the bar for entry and it slows the shovelware because people are going to have to put more effort into it rather than just linking deviant art drawings together.

Also you're getting your shirtless barbarian men

What like Layton? Ace Attorney? Third thing?

I'm fine with that too as long as it's kept in it's own genre without any expectations of being even slightly realistic. Only fair to have the ridiculous beefcake if we're gonna have cheesecake too. Something for everyone!

Besides, I dig Vallejo and Frazetta (sp) artwork.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Yeah similar things to that where you have actual logic puzzles to solve, if you present it as an actual game the steam jannies won't be as harsh to it because then it's clear you're not just making softcore fapwank material.

Looks like she's hitting up a library after going to a fancy restaurant, out of all the ways to censor her costume they gave her an evening dress? Should've given the guy a tux.

Complaining visual novels don't have enough gameplay is like complaining novels don't have enough visuals.

 

[BananaSplit]

Complaining visual novels don't have enough gameplay is like complaining novels don't have enough visuals.

The worst thing is that we already argued about that topic just three months ago on this very thread:

Even text adventure games (what they're usually called over there in nipponland) are still games because they have choice prompts, various routes/endings, and can sometimes offer additional gameplay elements such as turn-based strategic battles in Utawarerumono, investigations and courtrooms in Ace Attorney, Lain's art and inference logic in Shin Hayarigami (see pics below), romance simulation in Amagami or Tokimeki Memorial, "dungeon" exploration in Death Mark, etc.

The main point however is that people consume media that they find enjoyable, it's as simple as that. Autistically screeching about genre purity, the required amount of interactivity or whatever is pointless. Games are also allowed to fill their own niches just like they can be flawed too, promoting censorship against those as some kind of greater good is a scumbag shit to do (regardless it's a shitpost or not).

Why does a video game necessarily need to prioritize "interactivity?" That's like saying silent films are somehow missing the point because they stop the action and bring up text cards or comic books are bad because these funny cartoons are getting in the way of reading. Blending mediums has been a thing for thousands of years. If it's interactive, it's a video game (except maybe visual novels where you only click a box, that's just a sort of book).

Any thread that is negative towards Sony/SIE/Playstation has been subjected to a flood of posts from Marissa. The Sony hate thread is the best example so far of his tantrums, but it can also be seen in the Culture War thread itself. To be fair, I don't blame you for not following the whole shitshow.

I stand with the coomers because covering up women for the "feminism and realism" is retarded and problematic™

I don't even want lewd outfits, I want cute shit like this:

Honestly, it seems that they fell for the “ISLAM WAS RIGHT ABOUT WOMEN” meme, but they didn’t know when to stop taking the joke seriously

The comments section is a mixed of trying too hard to be based and people that hate fictional guns in video games.

You raise the bar for entry and it slows the shovelware because people are going to have to put more effort into it rather than just linking deviant art drawings together.

But they already have. Branching paths for example. By choosing 1 path or route (in a romantic or general VNs) its still a choice that the player makes. Minigames like (Autism for mentioning it) Huniepop has match 3 but not its not required. Why? VN devs sell a story that you can chose (depending on the vn) the path and get the corresponding ending. So the main thing is Is the story intresting/good, are the character intresting/good. If both are shit then the vn is shit. It dosen't have gameplay to fall back on like say 3d rpgs/fpss and so on. And even with some gameplay/minigames along the way it stoll wont save it.

There is allways going to be shit. Shit with sprinkles but still shit.

Well there goes the R-18 version of the game unless Qureate releases on denpasoft and mangagamet
