Did he ever recovered from the RE4R fiasco? (I think he was right, btw)
Everyone has a dud at least once. His video's message was that the remake doesn't keep the same art direction as the original. For example, not being able to move was so baked into the level design, that removing that handicap was a similar flaw to Metal Gear Solid and the MGS: Twin Snake remakes, where the latter brings Metal Gear Solid 2 mechanics that don't really work with MGS' level design and removes all of the difficulty.
I think some do it because it is so damn easy to pad your script
There was no fiasco, he made the same kind of video he always makes and the capcom fanboys shit themselves and cried over it, as they do. He didn't bend over to them, as much as he mocked them by changing the video title for a little bit. That's all that happened.
Didn't she get hired by Rolling Stone, or am I confusing her for another BPD whore?
Eh, there's two groups with these kinds of things: the intentional liars and the true believers. For the intentional liars, they always knew it was a lie and they will keep using it if it's useful (or pivot if there's a better one). For the true believers it was always cope, but I doubt the election helps them see the lie because they tend not to be rational thinkers in the first place. In fact...
In regards to culture war at large it's been kind of interesting watching the true believers. After the election the correct way to reflect is to reconsider the entire idea: maybe they're not extremist fringe minority nazis at all. Instead they seem to be panicking because "OMG the extremists nazis aren't actually a fringe minority! They're everywhere! The majority of the voting populace are extremist nazis!"
I am not of the opinion that these guys will wake up from the conditioning either. However, between flops and elections, investors will stop blindingly trust the leftists devs when they say that the complainers are a fringe, vocal minority. The gaslighters and true believers might not change their tune but everyone else might tune out. Leftist YT channels are bleeding subs because their former fans consider them liars.
Precisely. And you sait it well exactly in the end. "Feminization of society at large". This means a large base of "feelings based" thoughts and opinions for the most part, difficulty in criticism, "let people just enjoy what they want!!!", and so much more. Pettiness abound.
Gunn had to get "cancelled" before rhey let him do what he wanted too. I really do feel it is Whedon that made Gunn have any checklist he had to follow.
I don't agree with this at all; being unable to move while aiming was just annoying. It made sense in the previous games when fighting was a last resort but not in an action game where you're forced to face down hordes of enemies. This feels like something people have retroactively come up with to justify the design decision which I assume was actually the result of the Gamecube controller only having one analog stick back when it was part of the Capcom Five. If it had been designed around the PS2 controller from the start I reckon you'd have been able to move while aiming.
I don't think she got hired, it's just freelance work. So far she's only put out one piece about the development hell of Halo 2. Just the kind of timely, hard-hitting journalism we've come to expect from the former camgirl.
How is it annoying when this is quite literally what the entire game was build around? That's like complaining that the previous games had tank controls in them, when this was the entire point.
As I said in my post, the previous games were not built around being forced to engage with the zombies. You can beat most of the original RE games without fighting anything except bosses if you want, but RE4 regularly puts you in situations where your only option is to fight your way out, and it's tedious having to constantly reposition yourself.
tl;dr: skill issue.
Being slow and cumbersome is the point in RE4, it forces you to get gud instead of standing still and turning the game into a shooting gallery, which would have been a catastrophe for the franchise. Being able to move while shooting would just make the game too easy, or put too much focus onto pure action. The original strikes a perfect balance of having you be scared but also giving you just enough tools to survive: every single bullet counts just like in the older games and you also have to know when to stand your ground and start shooting. Aim your gun at the wrong time, you get fucked by a projectile or hit by an enemy, if you go strictly for headshots the game also punishes you by having plagas come out and insta-killing you(or heavily damaging you) if you just stand there and continue pummeling it.
To be clear, I don't dislike it (except the QTEs, which have never been good in any game) I just can't play it any more because I'm too used to being able to move freely while aiming. It's the same with Ratchet & Clank 1, which I find absolutely miserable to play because they didn't add strafe controls til the second game.
You must be joking, R&C1 has an unlockable strafing mechanic, you just unlock it mid-way through the game, it's the jet backpack, it has a strafing mechanic. Yes it's clunky, but it was built around that handicap. (also play Deadlocked/Gladiator).
Yeah I know about the jetpack, but as you say it's shit and doesn't have the same fluid movement the later games introduced. I still 100%'d the game when the HD trilogy came out, but I will never ever go back to it the way I have with just about every other Ratchet game (the PS3 games onwards were much worse, but they're still a lot of fun).
I think most companies have some level of institutional capture. Some even have a terminal infection, and while those will go bankrupt... like an infected cell undergoing lysis the virus bursts out and seeks new hosts. This will go on until companies get an immune system and avoid hiring them (and fire those they have). But I'm not sure that's legal.
Yep basically the last republican to deal with this was Ronald Reagan he actually stripped that part of the Civil Rights Act but sadly the Democrats had the majority in the House and Senate so they passed it back through you wanna strip the left of power repeal the Civil Rights Act what is a terrible piece of legislation.
Even if it was it still wouldn't fix the problem because they would double down on exerting social pressure to try and guilt companies into doing what they want. Null has pointed it out a couple times on MATI that it takes an alarmingly small number of persistent emailers for a company to get annoyed enough to bend the knee. Personally I think the only solution is the complete immolation of the AAA industry. We need a great reset where smaller games sell based on merit by being good instead of pandering shit.
You are forgetting one thing. Money and man power. Trump has put out that he is ripping the DEI subsystem out. Issuing fines and financial consequences on the unis that do the white guilt talk and tranny indoctrination.
