This reminds me of how sick and damn tired I am of people cheering hand me down characters. It's the laziest most obvious type of pandering there is and people want to pretend otherwise. It's not a flex. It's an insult. 

I'm so glad we didn't take Drake Maye. Sorry Chad, didn't know Atlanta was gonna go Lorena Bobbit on you.

LOL a remaster of a remaster.

 

That sums up today's gaming industry.

Damn, you made me realize  my mistake. NFS: Most Wanted (2005) was one of my favorite games. NFS: Most Wanted 2012 was a completely different game. It was good, but it didn't hit me the same was the 2005 game did.

I am still hoping for a remaster of NFS Most Wanted 2011.

I absolutely loved that game. That was probably my most played 360 game outside of Mass Effect 1 and 2.

As for Unbound. $8 is steal. I got in on PC a while back. It addresses some of the issues I had with Heat. Mainly the absurd costs of engine swaps versus the money earned for winning races. My main issue with Unbound is the AI and Cops. You can sort of remedy the AI issue be reducing the difficulty but at higher heat levels you just have to cheese the cops.  It takes some of the fun out of racing at night. You can cheese the ground units by find places that obscure their line of sight but once the chopper gets out, that becomes difficult. Their is gain sewer drain at a construction site that was my go to "ditch the cop and choppers" location. There are other spots that hide you from choppers but those don't hide you from ground units.  (Didn't mean to access Ultra Dimestinct Sign)

Maybe it WAS intentional, but they meant to invoke the Hard Rock Cafe.

 

Only thing I can think.

From what people that already played the game have said. "Hard" is just one of many random graffiti words throughout the city. This instance just happened to be next the "R-Shop".

Speaking of sexuality,

 

Was Mr Wizard ever questioned by the police  about his underage dick peeking?

 

Was his only punishment losing his EVO job?

IIRC the only thing that happened was he lost his job. He should have been questioned by police and he should have been banned from buying McRibs too.

I'm just now fully getting caught up on the "Hard R" controversy surrounding Stellar and I find it more funny than anything.  I don't feel offended at cause in terms of context its not the actual word and its not really being said to anyone in particular on top of the circumstance of the shop itself being called the R shop.  At the same time I also have to consider statistics here...this korean dev had the chance to put any english word in front of R shop on that stage and they landed on "hard".  I don't really want to think there is any malicious intent in it but I can't help but think about how coincidental it was.

I thought it was a big nothing burger. It's another case of American arrogance to be perfectly honest. Too many people here expect people from other countries to understand the idiosyncrasies of our culture. And I'll say what I did elsewhere. This being offensive is a big reach yet it got fixed immediately. Game isn't out yet. Meanwhile the Mile Morales's Cuban Flag Issue from Spiderman, which is actually offensive, took like a week to fix.

@ChadoukenHope you like the new thread title 🙃

I was just talking about this nonsense the other day. If they aren't going to do anything about it. Just change the name of the platform to XXX.

Fuck I'm nervous.  I hope the Vikings don't do anything stupid like trade Jefferson today. 

I'm hoping my team doesn't blow the 2nd pick of the draft. If you are going to pick a QB at 2, pick Jayden Daniels or just trade down. If the Vikings pick Penix, I'm going to laugh my ass of because I know you'll be online buying his jersey before the next commercial break. 😂

No. I guess my area's just bad. My insurance went up 60 bucks the second I moved. Been steadily going up since then, and I haven't even been here a year yet.

Yeah it maybe your area. I remember my aunt getting shell shocked when she moved to Florida from Virginia.

Me watching that scene....

My insurance (Progressive) just raised their monthly rate yet again by 60 bucks.

 

Is every insurance blowing up thanks to inflation or is it just them?

My rates have gone down and I have Progressive. Are their a lot of accidents in your area? I haven't had a ticket in 20 years but my rates went up few years ago because of the frequency accidents. I-77 is terrible. It's not unusual for me to 3 accidents a day some weeks. Bear in mind, I'm only driving on a roughly 10 mile stretch of I-77.

I want to say I'm surprised at some of the excuses/ignorance/shit takes regarding the black character but I'm not.

Meanwhile Japanese dudes are going to barber and getting their hair permed to be nappy enough for a fro and/or braids. No wonder their characters designs have been on point. I'm waiting for Matsumoto to show up at the SF6 character reveal with some fresh braids or a fro. Dude keeps his line up clean. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

Twitter/X always has some dumb shit on it. But one thing I kept seeing previously seems to continue bear out. Japanese developers make better black characters than Western Developers. Marisa, no not that Marisa @Jocelot, has a great design in Eiyuden Chronicles. Now I'm thinking about Taion's cool design from Xenoblade 3 as well.

@RSG3Xenoblade Chronicles 2 had an idea that "sounds cool on paper" but doesn't work out in practice. The Blades were created by multiple artists. In addition to some of them being meh, the artstyle was utterly inconsistent because it. You could run around in party with 4 different artstyles at the same time. 😑 Multple artists are good for variant covers or art books but not for in game assets. 

Side note: The damned Killmonger cut is in Eiyuden Chronicles, I can't escape it man. It's everywhere.

I snagged Eiyuden Chronicles on PC. It's really old school RPG which may turn of modern players. I don't mind it but I spend half my day yelling at clouds. Unfortunately, I hear the Switch version has poor performance. Which frankly surprises me. The game isn't pushing the hardware by any means. It you told me this was a remaster of 360 game, I'd believe you. I enjoy getting Suikoden experience, so I think fans of the franchise will be happy.

Edit: @AriesWarlockEnriku Lose forgot their mask.

It will be a shame but I don't know if Koei Tecmo will last into the next generation. Outside of contract work and Dynasty Warriors/Warriors spinoffs I can't think of a recent successful game. 

 

Atlus was the same way and wound up getting gobbled up by Sega. I wonder if there is any company that values KT properties or development enough to take them on?

If this was 2021-22, they would have probably been gobbled up by someone. However with the current state of the industry, everyone sans Nintendo seems to be laying off developers, I'm not sure. Most companies seem to be trying to hold together what they already have.

Why is this thread still pinned? Is this implicit permission to continue making fun of him?

Maybe because he keeps making alts to ban evade? *shrugs*

@AriesWarlockStellar Blade is fine for Saudi Arabia? Kind of surprised by that. Whenever the WWE goes to Saudi Arabia the women have to wear completely different gear.
