  • While some companies are pretty predatory such as Gacha or even types of DLC, I do think that nothing is more worse than Korean MMOs, and they've been doing this for years, way before the DLC floods lol.

    Some of their MMO history is pay-to-win or they end their service at a set date line if I remember.

    I'd chalk it up to cultural differences. Korean devs probably think we complain too much.

    In the case of BDO (which is B2P in the west, but F2P in South Korea), western players kept blaming the publishers when, in fact, it was the devs pushing for more P2W stuff.

    The beauty of east asian dev teams, we can complain all we want over here in the west and they can give a fck less about what we think

    and I wouldn't have it any other way

    Yeah Korean MMO design is pretty predatory. Asian publishers take advantage of the fact that most Asian societies are conditioned to not complain about things.
    Tales of Arise getting better. Only the beginning was a bit slow. Game is pretty fun so far, characters are getting better too.

    Huh, will admit but I had lower expectations for how the game progresses but bit of good surprises here and there.

    Good to hear that it gets better and better the more you're playing it. Tales games usually start off pretty slow since you need to unlock moves and items that you can use anytime you'd like, same with their story and its characters, the more the story advances, the more gets revealed about the characters and the more they're starting to change and thus become more memorable.
    Tales director Hirokazu Kagawa apparently always wanted to consider remakes of older Tales titles and putting the word to Namco, but wasn't sure of a good time to begin with them.

    Dude, I hope Tales of Symphonia remake will be a thing! I used to play that quite a bit at my friends house back in 8th grade when I went to her house to practice DOA2 (she was lucky to have a PS2 and a Gamecube at the time. I eventually bought the game by the time high school came around).
    Tales of Arise is pretty impressive so far. Areas of the game are probably the most detailed of any of the Tales games currently.

    Honestly my only gripe is the characters and every NPC out there. They feel and act like sandpaper, though i'm sure they'll grow on me eventually. Think Vesperia and Abyss has the best cast overall that not even Berseria can hold a candle to honestly.

    Arise is a fun game so far though.

    Ah yeah, by sandpaper I meant how they exchange dialogue, interactions with each other, NPCs, what they bring up to talk about etc. There is some depth to the characters i'm seeing so looking more to explore on that.

    that's funny cuz Velvet was definitely my fav when I first played Berseria and I found Magilou to be very annoying, but these days im way more partial to both of them, the revenge schtick is grating after a while and Magilou is just way more fun at the end of the day

    Magilou <3. The interesting thing about Velvet was seeing her progressively become a villain until Eleanor slaps her out of it. A deceptively interesting character despite coming off as a bit tunnel visioned. But yeah, the revenge angle felt very, well, anime...

    That's an interesting idea, maybe somewhere like Hong Kong as an example or South Korea such as Seoul or Busan? Getting a little Shenmue vibe where Ryo went on his trip within Asia haha. Or RGG can go bonkers and have a Yakuza character visit somewhere like New York, Toronto, London or Paris.
    Overwatch changing a character name based off an employee because of the recent issues of Blizzard. And to think all this started from World of Warcraft, can't blame them for changing it but the effort seems so little.
    Anyone getting Metroid Dread?

    I'll get it, since I'm a Metroid fan and I've played and own all the games, and I remember first reading about Dread over 15 years ago (Nintendo fans crossed their fingers for a reveal every E3, probably for DS, but nothing), but I wasn't too impressed by MercurySteams work on Samus Returns (or Castlevania MoF). SR was fine, but its one of my lesser favorite Metroids.
    So Youtube's analytics says that I am currently the highest for most 4K videos for 3D fighting games.

    However, most of the stuff on Youtube was DOA related (which is a 3D fighter). But what this actually meant as a whole is that the other 3D fighting games lack most 4K videos in general. Most content and it's creators for 3D fighting genre are at 1080p minimum.

    There's actually quite a lot of people that have a 4K capture with a 4K monitor for fighting games to record, but I think it probably ties if there's any incentive in doing it for them. Which I kinda understand. No real reason to upload in 4K if 1080p is good enough. Heck, some vids out there I didn't even know it had a 4K option because i'm so used to 1080 that I don't bother changing it to 4K on Youtube LOL.

    Ah, true. I can record all my videos in 4K if I wanted to along with a 4K monitor, though yeah, most FG's are natively 1080p. The main reasons why I wouldn't produce a 4K video would include: a) Takes too long to process b) Takes up too much memory c) Taking into account that 4K content would slow down most people's PC's, if they don't have particularly powerful PC's.

    Also, I feel that 1080p - 1440p is fine for monitors 32" or smaller. 4K can get underminded by smaller monitor's pixel density.
    Bit crazy how Cowboy Bebop fans harassing the actress for live action because she doesn't look like the actual character lol.

    They be like "-insert cosplayer name-, she looks exactly like her, why didn't they pick her"

    Those are cosplayers. Not actors/actresses. Even if those cosplayers get picked, they wouldn't know what to do on a scene except say one line like "ummm here's my OnlyFans, did I get the spot?" lol.

    Definitely, actors get chosen based on their skill as much as how well they resemble the character in question. If the two coincide? Even better. If not? No biggie. I'd take acting performance over visual accuracy at this point. People that complain about that kinda stuff are morons, along with being disrespectful.
