i've never gotten into dragon quest, my favorite japanese games are all either by cool inventive industry youths or depressed middle-aged people with weird deeply personal narrative-driven ideas. sometimes a mix of both

i do respect dragon quest 1 for being the product of a guy who wanted to make a version of ultima that was comprehensible

Well Yuji Horii was once a cool inventive industry youth who basically invented the modern JRPG and made visual novels a marketable thing. I can at the very least recommend DQ5 as a unique spin on JRPG narrative and DQ8 (the PS2 version) as a low-stakes colorful adventure.

yeah the only reason he doesnt straight up murder that guy is because his kid's in the room, not any real restraint or forgiveness on yuri's part

tbh shadow hearts just seems like the game people wanted persona 5 to be. it even has weird gay jokes just like persona 5, it just actually has a gay party member also

maybe the reason shadow hearts 3 wasnt as good is that after keith in sh1 and joachim in sh2 were both pretty gay and extremely gay respectively the female vampire in sh3 wasnt just a raging lesbian. rule of threes motherfuckers

No one is arguing this at all, and never has. It's about context, something dorks like this are not intelligent enough to grasp. A great example of a woman character is Sigrun Engel in Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. She is an overweight woman, but the game doesn't poke fun at her, it doesn't use her weight as a joke or punchline. Instead She parallels many of Blazkowicz's own demons, mostly dealing with abuse from a parent. She is a well written fantastically executed character with a dark storyline, in a video game that is otherwise ridiculously violent and absurd.

Anybody else playing The Fall 2? I'm at what I assume is the halfway point and loving it so far.

There's a part where you have to make a huge field of motionless robots head bob to some heavy metal.

I was gonna get it but I'm unreasonably annoyed that just buying the sequel is more expensive than buying the two pack of both games on PSN. Like I think it lets me buy the two pack despite owning the original so I could just get that but it just annoys me and makes me want to wait until it's properly on sale.

Part of the new youtuber/twitter/Twitch landscape where indie devs benefit from an increased sense of accessibility with their audience (as opposed to hiding behind a brand or company) means their personal lives and opinions are open to engagement. All creators nowadays who have chosen to engage with an audience on some platform are aware of this now so yes, expect more Nazis and misogynists to be putting out games because they'll be open about their beliefs. It's part of their personas and they'll be using it for marketing.

The flip side is true too: expect chill people to make games too and they'll be using their chill personas to make and sell their games. You get to/have to decide if any of that means anything to you, but it's not going away from the indie and mid-tier space.
