The two biggest ones of these that stood out to me were #twitchdobetter and the Reddit API protests. Both of them only lasted for a few days and accomplished nothing, with the former it led to the Trihard community raiding any streamer who had the twitchdobetter handle and they got nothing out of it other than a few tools and some lawsuits against the raiders that went nowhere, with the latter it kind of broke reddit for a day but then nothing came of it after, and both of them have been basically forgotten at this point.
Because it's the favorite of people who don't like Metal Gear, which is a much larger audience than Metal Gear fans. Same reason they remade SH2 first. The reason for both is that normies get their opinions from other people, they've been told that MGS3 is the best one by people who mostly don't like the other games and don't even like the original version of MGS3.
I watched Fringy stream wolverine last night. He did everything he possibly could to break it. This game is slop in every sense of the word. You are constantly railroaded in every direction. If you step off the path even slightly the game kills you. If it doesn't the game forces you back on the path in the most contrived way possible. AI enemies are broken by jumping up walls and they forget you exist.
The gormless worms at the Fags Per Second podcast discuss Wolverine with Gene Park, the asian who should have died from cancer and reporter who accidentally outed Sabertooth as a faggot, wantonly torpedoing the game right before launch:
19:27
It's funny because I actually I so I liked Saber-tooth. Uh I liked a lot of like stuff in the game. I liked Saber-tooth and I really like that
19:35
Saber-Tooth reminded me of Biff just from like his face, man. He's just like Yeah. Like he's just very very intense.
19:42
I like Saber-Tooth a lot. I think there was a there was a strange little like intimacy between Logan and and Vic. Uh,
19:50
you know, there was a one moment where, you know, they just trash a bunch of bad guys and like Vic just grabs like the back of Logan's
19:57
head like almost caressingly and be like, "You're having fun, aren't you?" I was like, "Oh, that's a that's a weird nice little moment of intimacy." And,
20:04
you know, the X-Men is very queercoded, too. So, it's like I didn't think they were gay, but it's like, you know, the X-Men are not afraid to
20:12
like love each other, you know. Um, and then so that I thought was good.
Has Gene addressed the fact that Insomniac instantly came out and said NO NO NO SABERTOOTH IS NOT A FAG, THEY ARE PLATONIC!!!
I don't have twitter and cant see any of his older posts, is this in response to his queer cocksucking for Wolverine or what?
I'd love for Sony to get absolutely assfucked in court over consumer protection and digital ownership but they have enough lawyers to create Isreal 2 and Isreal 3 so I don't see it happening.
Which is completely subverted by the end when it's revealed that Raiden actually does have substantial combat experience, having been a child soldier, and he didn't, up until then, remember any of it.
They hit you over and over with "playing a video game as Solid Snake doesn't mean you're him," and your cope is that you need to learn Japanese? Just accept you're a big nerd.
Raiden was a child soldier. You, the player, were not. You are playing a game simulating Raiden, but you in the end remain a need playing a video game about a character who is a bigger badass than you.
I don't remember every detail because I didn't play the game over and over. The "playing MGS doesn't make you Snake" message was not subtle, and the howling of gamers when Raiden took off his mask was hilarious.
Iconic game in a mid series. 3 was such a letdown afterward.
You mean like partnering on a new console, getting at least two years into nitty-gritty hardware design work with them, then suddenly splitting off from them and launching a competing product instead of the collaboration they'd agreed to work on?
After Sony recently argued in court that “reasonable consumers” understand they don't actually own their digital games, people have started compiling every example they can find where PlayStation used language suggesting otherwise. The Consumer Rights Wiki has now documented dozens of examples of Sony using phrases like “games you own” and “you already own” across PlayStation's own websites and services
Adorable. They still think scoring pwns on Twitter/X wins court cases.
What a company says in its throwaway marketing wank is decidedly different from its legal arguments in a court case. For any of this fluff to matter, a party to a suit vs. Sony where Sony is arguing "you don't own shit" needs to get this language in front of the judge in that case to argue "yes, even you say I do own this shit."
Are you sure you're not getting mixed up with End of Evangelion, where Anno literally begs his fans to go outside and stop obsessing over the ending of a cartoon?
But sales of MGS3 were kind of flat compared to MGS2 and 4.
I honestly think that dumbasses at Konami management thought that, because it's a prequel, it's a good jumping on point for people who've never played the series and because it's set in the jungle it's very easy for them to do a next-gen graphics overhaul and make it look really pretty, whereas MGS1 is set in the Alaskan snow and MGS2 is set on a oil rig, and they're both urban environments, so it's harder to pretty them up
I think it's a lot like people who try to get into Gundam, UC Gundam, but First Gundam looks too old for them so they watch The Origin which is a poor jumping on point A) because it's backstory to an alternate retelling of First Gundam and B) because it's for the fans. So much of it hinges on in-jokes and showing characters who would be familiar to people who were already fans of First Gundam but would mean absolutely nothing to people who have no familiarity with it whatsoever

Fan of Earthbound excited to finally play his favorite game. Fan of Resident Evil 234 excited to finally play his favorite game. Fan of Silent Hill 2 excited to finally play his favorite game. The sales of the old titles don't matter because the people asking for a remake didn't play the original, they're asking for the game to be changed to be palatable to them so they can finally play their favorite game.
So exactly like those faggots who love Cloud and Sephiroth and Vincent because they've seen Advent Children and played Kingdom Hearts but they'd never ever play the original FFVII because 'it looks too old', so they made a series of games to cater to these specimens?

I dont know much about wolverine lore but regardless of whether or not this is true in the comics. The most popular version of the xmen is the movies. Most people think of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, and by extension the origins movie from 2009 where they are brothers.
Implying they're in some gay relationship is fucking weird and disgusting. Why would he think to do this?
There's definitely no subtext if you can't read any of it. Sabertooth hates Logan for not giving in to his animal impulses and resents him for trying to live like a human being. Logan hates Sabertooth for the opposite reason. It's basic dark mirror shit, not complicated.
They're modern mainstream creatives. Everything has to have as much faggotry and monkeyshines force-injected into it as possible, at all times, because diversity is our strength you fucking bigot!
The MJ face "debate" has always felt like a major "do not trust your lying eyes" thing to me. Because even if they didn't scan that block headed writer chick, that's a pretty massive coincidence that the professional model they hired and the lead writer on the team just so happen to both resemble the MJ in the game
