Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Hideo Kojima is widely known as a video games auteur, but what are his best games outside the Metal Gear franchise?
Today it was announced that the gaming and anime industry has lost another beloved artist and creator. Mutsumi Inomata has passed away.
The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.
Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.
Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(
I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”
none of this means anything to us anymore. We get sales stats and projections and quotes daily and they're all, as Captain Rhodes says "Greek Salad"
Not worth anything.
Sony's overall sales fell 50% this week but they were up 100% from 2 weeks ago. Software sales are down, though, but hardware sales are climbing to 40%.
Who cares? It's stilly.
do these numbers really bring satisfaction to people?
Poor Xbots
Poor Xbots, there were a shortage of PS3s. Poor XBots, we will dominate once again.
Poor Xbots
The title is pretty misleading.
This weeks recap makes one think that the PS3 sales dubbeled since a few months, but:
"However, the company's game unit posted a profit and held double the PS3 sales from one year ago. "
I may hope so, because last year around this time the PS3 sales weren't pretty at all.
by next year. Things will go back as to how they were before.
