RSG3 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Hecatom said: Yeah, but the difference is that previous games were heavily stylized, plus the colors were meant to reflect the Gyaru fashion. And while Strive is still stylized, Nago is unambiguosly black, hence, SF Strive doesn't have colors that drastically change the skin color like previous game And because of that, now idiots are trying to claim that Ramlethal and Giovanna are also meant to be black. This isn't directed at you specifically just a general comment to those arguments. I don't care. Strive is also heavily stylized.They made those characters tons of colors, every color you can think of. You're late to the boat if a little Nago mod gets your underoos in a wad.

You know what is the worst thing, is that by that kind of mentality people who like the pos wouldn't get nice colors on Strive, like a Nago that looks like a pale Vampire, because that is problematic in the eys of the refinery of stupidity that is twatter.

AriesWarlock Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 World Of Warcraft Removing Inappropriate References To 'Rebuild Trust' In Wake of Lawsuit Details are vague, but it's safe to assume references to creative director Alex Afrasiabi are being pulled Blizzard has promised to remove content “not appropriate for” World of Warcraft, likely in response to in-game references to creative director Alex Afrasiabi. This announcement comes after a short period of silence following the publication of a California state lawsuit against the company, which alleges Activision Blizzard fostered a pervasive environment of harassment against its female employees. “The past days have been a time of reflection for the World of Warcraft team, spent in conversation and contemplation, full of sadness, pain, and anger, but also hope and resolve,” the statement says. “As we heed the brave women who have come forward to share their experiences, we stand committed to taking the actions necessary to ensure we are providing an inclusive, welcoming, and safe environment both for our team and for our players in Azeroth.” Afrasiabi was named in the suit as a particularly heinous offender in the Activision Blizzard corporate structure. His office was allegedly nicknamed the “Crosby Suite” (likely a typo in the lawsuit, for “Cosby”) in reference to the sexual assault charges against actor Bill Cosby. The suit reads: During a company event (an annual convention called Blizz Con) Afrasiabi would hit on female employees, telling them he wanted to marry them, attempting to kiss them, and putting his arms around them. This was in plain view of other male employees, including supervisors, who had to intervene and pull him off female employees. Afrasiabi was so known to engage in harassment of females that his suite was nicknamed the “Crosby Suite” after alleged rapist Bill Crosby. Afrasiabi would also call females derogatory names at company events. Afrasiabi’s conduct was known to Blizzard Entertainment’s executives, who took no effective remedial measures. J. Allen Brack, President of Blizzard Entertainment, allegedly had multiple conversations with Afrasiabi about his drinking and that he had been “too friendly” towards female employees at company events but gave Afiasiabi a slap on the wrist (ie. verbal counseling) in response to these incidents. It remains unclear what Afrasiabi’s status is at Activision Blizzard or what steps the company has taken in response to his alleged actions, especially with today’s statement not mentioning him by name.

BornWinner Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 This Activision-Blizzard thing is a fucking coaster.

All fine until this post he made years ago came back into view. Don’t know what the response was like in 2013, but it’s getting a lot of attention now because of this. Under a spoiler due to length.

DoctaMario Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 From what little I've played, Contra Returns isn't bad for what it is, but it's disappointing that they don't take those assets and make a real game with them. If they did, I'm sure people would eat it up. Seems like Konami is realizing they aren't going to be able to swim in the AAA market. They have big franchises, but those franchises aren't going to sell CoD/GoW numbers and they still will have to have big budgets to get the games made. Why spend millions making a AAA game and have it potentially break even when you can make a gacha game for a fraction of that and have it print money if you do it right?

Konami doesn't even have to try to make a huge budget title, if they announced a new Castlevania and it was $20/$30 digital release first (and it was actually good with people who cared about that IP...which I'm not even sure Konami has at this point) then I'd be down to buy that.

MillionX Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 yeah new Contra or Castlevania games by any of those companies would most likely be an automatic buy for me, particularly if it was on Switch. It's a shame that in terms of videogames... the Castlevania IP may as well just be considered a dead franchise at this point. The only hope is if someone else buys the IP.
