|
Makes sense. Their share price took a hit announcing 5.5 million subscribers, which is only a tiny loss and goddamn fucking miraculous that an MMO that old still has that many people paying every month. Think Final Fantasy XIV is the second place MMO now and that has about 1.5.

Bro that's proof that last gen is superior. That transit van is clearly running some kind of high end optical camo. How does he not see that?
|
The tree's have less foliage because the dynamic weather in the game on the 360 version generated a wind storm that actually blew the majority of said foliage away.
|
This is hilarious. We know the 360 can do better than that. They didn't want a Titanfall/CoD AW situation where the games ran barely different across console generations.

Only affects the physical version of the game. http://www.destructoid.com/not-all-u...p-319381.phtml 3) Even though the real reason was due more to Rockstar, UK's Advertising Standards Authority recently ruled Valve purposely mislead consumers during the last Steam Summer Sale in regards to the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V. According to the ASA, Valve failed to inform consumers about the game itself being pulled prior to the sale and the 25% discount being way lower due to price shenanigans. http://www.destructoid.com/valve-mis...y-319371.phtml 4) Vigil Games revealed the remastered Darksiders II: Deathinitive Edition is being planned as a way to reignite interest in both the Darksiders series for fans and the development of Darksiders III for the studio. http://www.destructoid.com/darksider...i-319472.phtml http://steamcommunity.com/app/388410...80503064408520 5) According to reports and from Sony themselves, one of the biggest goals they have for this gen is for the PS4 to take over as the top console for the shooter genre. Besides Destiny, the company is already planning on a huge marketing campaign for Star Wars Battlefront to persuade people to only buy it for the PS4. http://www.destructoid.com/sony-shoo...--319291.phtml |
Somebody should inform Sony that you bring people to your platform by making a hit shooter. So far they've just locked down exclusive content that perpetuates a rift in the gaming community.

How is Christmas sooner each year?

Think last year had several pre-BF deals but this year seems like retailers with digital stores finally realized there was no real reason to actually wait till Black Friday itself to hold their mega sale or sales.
They can hold a bunch of smaller BF type sales or just a long BF sale during the same time stores like Gamestop or Best Buy are waiting to officially hold their own game sales. |

About damn time someone at Capcom dusted off Onimusha. I'll gladly take a remaster or new title in the series.
They can only ride the Street Fighter and Resident Evil horses for so long. |
Just sayin; this is modern Capcom. We might be getting an Onimusha mobile game or spin-off that blows off everything you like about the series.
Or not. Just keep that in mind. We're living in a world where a single player SoulCalibur game was made. |
Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 3 isn't coming to US or UK because the devs or publishers or whoever are apparently afraid of feminism.
Not that I would...you know.....know about those games....or anything. Ahem. Anyway, Kalyx probably going to have a field day with this. |
I'm days in with this story. Yeah, Tecmo don't wanna deal with the current PC climate. It's important to note that while this could be chalked up as cowardice, a great deal of feminist and general PC/moralist critique of women in games almost uniformly cite DOA's fighting and beach games and I suppose they would get wind of that. This is their reaction, "Fuck that noise."
The best part really is the SJW reaction, it's literally what conservatives are doing right now about the recent abortion clinic shooting: *Vilifies person/company/group for years* *some logical result happens* "...What? Us? We have nothing to do with that. We don't have a problem with what happened, and in fact we kinda sort of support it, but don't blame us!" It's cowardly in its own right to not own up to the environment you created. (For Rog: No I didn't equate a shooting with a game not being localized, I am equating the principle of the reaction) I actually don't have a great deal of sympathy for 'they made me do it' excuses, so you may be surprised that I'm giving Tecmo the majority flak for this. They could simply port the game and not give a fuck. Hell they almost certainly sold more through imports as morale support, and maybe that can tell them that people don't really take the ideological smears seriously. It would also be a black eye to the fucks who think certain games shouldn't exist, which is always fun. But yeah, Tecmo being a spooked is a bad look. |
While I'm here, I returned to my blog to respond to a wacky poem of sorts about how Lara Croft's fit body made a feminist feel bad.
https://kalyxtriad.wordpress.com/201...ofts-tigh-gap/ Mind the gap, folks, mind the gap. |
It was also one persons comments, which were deleted and Tecmo has distanced themselves from the comments. AKA a fuss over nothing.
I mean, DOAX can't not be coming over here because they sell like absolute shit, right? Quote:
|
DOAX sells more in the west (US, UK) than Japan itself. Itagaki mentioned this before in the past. And that's not even a quality argument statistic; it's common sense given the sheer potential buyer population of western markets. Think about what you're saying: because DOAX "sells like shit", they're going to block it from major markets. I know for a fact that you know better than this, Has. It already has english translation; selling to the west would easily make up for getting the DOA5 actresses back for a few lines. That's literally all they would need to add.
Also, two different reps of different departments from Tecmo said the same thing about why it's not coming herein rather candid posts. And the press release's language was still curiously acquiesce to those very posts. It did not explain why it's Japan only, and especially after a relatively successful resurgence with DOA5 and its updates. It did say however: Quote:
I reiterate that I put this on Tecmo for succumbing to feminist critique calling for games like this to cease to exist. So I'm not out to just put any ill action on feminist. But this particular case is hilariously clear. It's not sales or VA production costs, it's ideological minefield gaming is becoming. |
Of course it sold like shit in Japan before this, it was on XBox. Overall, Xtreme 2 sold about 250k worldwide. It's pointless to even print the discs at this point and at best, it'd come out as digital only. Which it probably will eventually now, as they have the easily offended internet Neanderthals all riled up and supporting it.
It's just weird, because much more sexual games have come out on Vita and no-one made a peep. No-one made a peep about this game until DOAs social media person made retracted comments. I'm probably going to import the game if the volleyball is as good as the first one, the second one unfortunately fucked the gameplay up. It just seems like a manufactured controversy that the usual fools have sold solidarity to. |
It is rich who you are saying is the easily offended. Rich. But to humor; what's got people riled up? The concept that a publisher is not releasing a game in a region due to media backlash? Good. Nobody wants to see that happen with any game. Dismiss as easily offended if you wish.
Tecmo has nothing to do with these much more sexual games on Vita, so I don't see why that's 'weird'. The volleyball will not be as good because Itagaki is no longer making the game. |
If they thought it would make money they'd localise it in a heartbeat. There wasn't really a backlash, just someone predicting an imagined backlash and the newssites running with it. I think they just don't want to take any sort of risk or scale up the development cost when they can do nothing and have people import it.
Reading articles about this though is pretty good. Everyone furiously flicking through the logical fallacy scrapbook. It's just a strawman tu cocque appeal to a true scotsman that those pesky JEWS, I mean SJWs, did it. |
Also nothing has changed really. When DOAX 1 came out the Jan/Feb '03 issue of Edge Magazine released "The Girl Issue" and devoted most of the editorial to the place that the game had in the industry and in the west, and went on to look at the roles and treatment of women in games and their coverage.
Its just now that Japan's birth rate is disappearing down the shitter, we no longer sync up with a market of people who are shagging pillows, and if kids want porn in video or game form they can get it. Can weirdo child-like bikini volleyball compete with Huniepop? |
Also, these consoles are region free so like...
|
It's absurd to say nothing's changed in terms of identity politics in games media. It's no contest between now and ten years ago.

Haven't encountered any of these long load time problems in Just Cause 3 myself. Still pretty fucking stupid to connect a single player game to your servers. You can put it in offline mode, but then you can't see the map. The fuck.
Regardless the game is fucking great. It's just a playground of massive explosions. The map, like the last game, is humongous, dwarfing other open world games. There is still a lot of "nothing space" but it's more detailed now. Even an empty field looks gorgeous from the air, which is where you will be spending most of your time. Wingsuit is tits btw. The prologue mission has you standing on top of a plane firing a rocket launcher at anti air installments. Take from that what you will. |

Sounds great though, will grab it for cheap. Sounds very much like Just Cause 2 which I never finished, but it was fun fucking around for an hour at a time. |

Saw some gameplay for Far Cry: Primal.
Looking like it's the ultimate guy game. Conan the Barbarian, He-Man, and Beastmaster all rolled into one. |

Final Fantasy X/X-2 Journey FlatOut 4 Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Ty the Tasmanian Tiger Trilogy Danganropa 1 and 2 There's a ton of unknown, possibly indie games on leaked on there too so people are still going through it. For example, there's this little game: http://i.imgur.com/bYS04AJ.png |

The Nintendo announcement was Wii U Minecraft.

Artist version of modern Mega Man. I would buy this. |
Beta for The Division has been pushed back to next year. Playstation owners are screwed. However, Xbox One owners still have exclusive access to those who preordered to the closed alpha that starts later this week.
