The Final Fantasy III board for the SNES is the best place for this sort of rant.

The topic in question is proclaiming sexual attraction for the protagonist.

What was particularly great about that was that FF13 wasn't even switching consoles. They just decided to release it on the 360 in addition to the PS3

Finally, someone else who knows what's really going on and someone who's ignoring the ludicrous hyperbole and fanboy talking points.

Sony is nearly $50 billion dollars in red. $15 billion in losses on PS3 and $30 billion dollars worth of capital gone in a decade's time.

You don't lose half your entire company capital and expect to be in black.

Let's see: In TVs, Toshiba,LG and Samsung outselling and clobbering them 7 to 1.

PC Notebooks: Just sold off their division. Expected to gain $3 billion from the sale but still must pay $1 billion of that to stakeholders.

Cameras and Camcorders: JVC is beating them.

Columbia/Epic Records: Revenue has declined.

Sony/Columbia Pictures: Hasn't produced a box office hit in 7 years.

Sony Store: Just closed 80% of all its stores in America.

Expenditures: Sold off property to pay for PS4. When a corporation rents property they are paying for it through loans meaning, they'll soon be paying creditors back.

Credit Rating: JUNK. Meaning 2 years away from bankruptcy.

SCEI and its products.

PSP: Dead overseas. On life support domestically.

PS3: Declining in Japan. Has had overall slow sales overseas during its 7 year lifespan(not helped by $15 billion estimated losses on it. 7 years of R&D+4 years of budget shortfall losses).

Vita: Dismal sales worldwide. Modest Japanese software sales but if the product isn't selling, that makes no difference.

Vita TV: Bombed in Japan. Despite cheap price.

PS4: Got off to a strong start overseas, but completely lacking must-buy software, lackluster software sales and has no exclusives, period. Yield problems causing shortages, still being sold at a loss. Domestic sales, completely abysmal.

All of this and their fanboys still think Sony is in black?!

The trick is to search for things that only a mentally ill person would look for, and add a videogame character's name at the end of the search string. I found the below gamers.txt with about 2 seconds of googling:

Actually this was made when Super Metroid came out because it's what they decided she would look like at the time. She looks like this in the Japanese TV spots for the game also. Contrast that with the ads Nintendo Japan ran for Zero Mission where it's mostly zoomed in shots of an Asian model's butt.

Beyond the character design though, you can definitely see Nintendo's attempts to make the series appeal to Japanese gamers more as it goes on. A succinct way to do this is to look at the Japanese commercials for the games. I think you can even see them all in one like five minute youtube video.

Not a matter of cred, and I understand what you're getting at, however:

Many of the underlying principles of third-and-fourth-wave Feminism are, at their core, Misandry and Fascism. Plain and simple.

Not to mention, "making an effort to include" translates to "making it easier for one group and not others". Is that Equality?

And now, in this day and age, we have the INVERSE problem. The majority of Collegiate applicants and student bodies are female. So, by the Feminist logic, shouldn't we then lower the requirements for males to make things "Equal"?

You should be judged by your skill, not your gender. But your gender shouldn't net you any special privileges either - which means that you can't cry sexism if someone is more qualified.

OMG! I remember the "Men Going Their Own Way Forums!"

It's an off-shoot of an older website. "Niceguy's American Women Suck."

I read that website in it's entirety, and was a very active member on those forums like, 10 years ago. Glad to see that the Original Contributor to that site lived happily ever after, and another guy has been passed the torch. I remember reading his posts on the forums when it was in it's infancy.

For what it's worth, that web page inspired me to move to Japan. And from that experience I can safely say that "Yes. An alarming percentage of women residing in the US are miserable, hateful, manipulative, corrupted skanks, and our culture simply embraces it."

DocSuess posted:

It's possible they hate women because the women they encounter are so incredibly easy? I mean, think about it: if you're constantly exposed to a bunch of (presumably) vapid airheads that just want a good loving, wouldn't you grow a bit resentful of them?

For content, I have the greenlight description for an overtly anime JRPG (sounds redundent, but it's accurate). I don't know if it actually belongs, but something about it just seems off.

I just enjoy the hysterical leftist wanna-be gender police acting like the far right morality police and attempting to exert influence over a medium that they know absolutely nothing about. Like the Parents Television Council or whatever the group was that tried to get D&D banned, since the SJWs don't enjoy video games (because they view them as "masculine" and hence driven by evil white, straight, cis-males) they are determined to destroy them. I'm not really upset because the more they shriek and flail their arms like toddlers, the faster their movement falls apart.

In a few months Zynga is going to post an almost exact clone of Adam Bowen's post that will be much more popular and make more money.

Suspicious Dish posted:

My favorite games are Super Mario World, Spelunky, Just Cause 2 and Katamari Damacy. None of those have a story in any way. I certainly don't think a story is required to make a compelling game, I was just curious if any game had done it.

Doc Neutral posted:

One thing that has been buggering me for a while is why do big AAA devs who are losing loads of money(Square Enix) continously target a small(and very vocal) market base namely the adolescent male when women who make up around 45% of gamers aren't target at all, it's like they don't want womens money.

I really wish bayonetta 2 was coming to a non-hilariously sad platform.

In fact that announcement is what spawned the gamers.txt classic:

quote:

I think the mainly bullshit part is that Bayonetta as a game was made for "standard consoles" like 360/PS3. There is no valid reason why a sequel to said game need to be EXCLUSIVELY on a special console like WiiU, since it isn't a spin-off, but a true sequel.

I guess part of people's anger is that the fans of the original are often gamers who felt no desire to get a WiiU (core gamers), and yet right now they feel like they are being "forced" to do so.

Good, good, keep reminding [JP_Kellams] about all the fans and potential sales he lost. Call yourself a whore, expect to be treated like one.

You see, if a female character doesn't embrace her own sexuality it's because the evil men fear female sexuality. Denying the existence of female sexuality is a method the patriarchy uses to take agency away from them and reduce them to sub-human.

If a female character does embrace her sexuality, it's because the evil men view women only as sexual creatures. Portraying female sexuality is a method the patriarchy uses to take agency from them and reduce them to sub-human.

I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a parody of those kind of rants that complain about the "homosexual agenda" in games because nowadays gay characters are occasionally included. The "think of the children" bit seems to point in that direction as well. At least I sincerely hope that's the case.

"Anyway check out my skin idea."

quote:

Ok guys they need to forget dragon slayer Bruam for now and make Barack O-Braum-a

Barack O-Braum-a or Patriotic Braum

So he would be white or black with a beard in a suit and his poro should be in black shades with an earpiece( like secret service ). His shield would have a bald eagle with an olive branch and a scroll in its claws and in the background there would be a american flag and there would be fireworks sticking out from behind the shield

His Passive would display a eagle (cut into fourths) or three stripes with a star

His Q: he would slam his shield sending out a red, white, and blue firework

His W: Braum would jump to and ally and give him a pat on the back. He would then pull out a American flag and inspire his back patted companion giving them both an armor and magic resist bonus

His E: Braum would conjure a giant Bill of Rights and not only protect his allies from all projectiles in front of him, but also their rights.

His R: He would jump up and slam the ground while screaming "Murica" while sending out firework explosions front of him in a straight line and leave behind a slow trail that would be little fire crackers

His taunt: he would throw up his shield while talking and when is lands some fireworks on top would shake and then go of when he finished talking

His recall: he would slam his shield into the ground and it would start smoking at the bottom, then Braum would hold on while the fireworks went off and he flies up, up, and away

So, please comment on the idea and give some feedback because i would love if this became a reality because this is a complete 100% original idea

It was the Japanese developers worried that the US audience wouldn't take to kindly to it, Japan though gives no fucks.

I believe Poison remains female in Japanese versions of Final Fight, but is either transgender or replaced with non-identical male characters in US versions, depending on the edition.

It also wasn't really a mistake, it was a conscious decision to make Poison a transexual as a solution to the "americans don't like the idea of boys hitting girls" problem.
