Rely on Horror: Upon playing Akiba's Trip for review, I noticed that there was a recurring joke on the game's fake social network, Pitter. In several instances, the characters on the social network would call another person in the chatroom a "trap" after she repeatedly emphasized that she was a girl.
If you happen to not know this, "trap" is an offensive term in the transgender community as it implies that someone that's transgender is a liar, deceiver, and trying to trick people, when in actuality they're just being who they are. Members of the community have been criticizing publisher XSEED Games for the use of the word in the game.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
So... they decide after all these years to complain? What about Bridget from Guilty Gear? There are a lot of comments in game about that one, and Amane from BlazBlue, a few comments from Bang about him, and countless other anime do this as well.
Really, there is no need to complain about it, definitely not after so many games go by making comments about it. Everyone is looking for every little reason to complain nowadays.
I always thought "trap" was a term used for guys dressing/looking like girls, or the other way around. Not something that had to do with transgender...
People are offended way too easily by things that clearly are not to be offensive.
I never knew what a "trap" meant, man, I need to get out more often...now, if only someone would unlock my cage, lol.
If only Admiral Ackbar were here.
