It is. I forget which but either the original Totori or the Vita rerelease, maybe both, was rated 18+ (the highest possible rating for media without being banned) in :australia: because it included "high impact sexual violence".

They have gameplay footage of MKX up on IGN, and I just watched the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade kneecap someone, shoot them in the head (which of course caused a geyser of blood to shoot from the wound), and then blow a bubble with some gum, stick it to the wound, and watch it fill up with blood until it pops.

God bless Ed Boon.

Nah we mostly played Smash Bros, at least that's what I remember, then we all got the PS2 and played some of the PS2 James Bond games and Ratchet & Clank Up Your Arsenal multiplayer. Those were the days :allears:

It's a joke about how a recent Atelier game had a girl drunkenly groping another character, which resulted in an ESRB note about "High Impact Sexual Violence"

Imagine if they did the MTV Teen Choice Movie Awards, but for movies that they hadn't started filming for yet, and also instead of movies it's video games.

Imagine that you're a dog (but not in a weird furry way, just a normal dog) and every year a bunch of bigger dogs all get together and poo poo in a big room for a few days. Some of them eat Christmas tinsel, some eat confetti, some eat rocks; some of the poo poo looks different but it's all sort of the same. You're really excited about all this new poo poo, then the big dogs tell you that you'll be able to have this poo poo for yourself to eat or make more of in a year or two. Some of the other dogs use this opportunity to champion a certain bigger dogs poo poo, and a bunch of fights break out because everyone is really emotionally invested in it. Other dogs complain because the poo poo doesn't accurately depict gender/sexual minorities, and that female dogs aren't well represented amongst the big poo poo dogs.

Now imagine you're a normal person, wondering why the gently caress anyone cares about all this poo poo. That's E3.

EA hosted a conference where they had only made like 2 games but needed to pad out a full hour of content. So they waved a bunch of artist renderings and even some untextured models and said "here's a bunch of stuff we're sorta working on"

and then at the end they announced the hardline beta was going live and smoke exploded everywhere

Hear Pacman cause the first cheer in forever.

quote:

Mr. Sakurai, the lack of Melee advanced tech, the slow pace of this game, the ridiculous joke of a tournament with rules that enabled people to team up on the better players... I am unfortunately not going to purchase this. The competitive community wants to love Smash, they really do. All we need is a bit of commitment.

Along the way, you seem to have forgotten that games are not black and white. They can be both party and competitive, both casual and hardcore. Melee achieved that goal better than any game, ever.

I admired you for Smash 64, for Melee, for Kirby Superstar. I was your biggest fan. I felt like You could do no wrong. However, you keep betraying our expectation, you don't try and listen to what we have to say. Instead, you organize a joke of an event in an attempt to shut us up life we're some kind of nuisance to you.

We want to love Nintendo, we want to love you, and if you would extend your hand and speak with the bigger competitive smash community and strive to make a game truly for everyone, we will support you. We will be behind you 100%.

Nevertheless, this has left a bad taste in my mouth, and a competitive smasher, I will keep my CRT.

My problem is I read this forum a lot and find myself constantly being interested in games and opinions about games and I nod along and read stuff with great interest, but when it comes to actually posting I tend to find I have nothing new or interesting to say that you guys haven't said much better than I would so I just end up posting pointless drivel and I just want to join in but it comes out like this post constantly :(
