I don't think I've heard people really say anything about the game portion. I've heard its rather good overall actually, with the biggest problem being not enough robos to climb.
Its the character designs, writing, and general politics around it that people hated. Its fandom was quite insufferable in trying to push it as some "proof" of women and progressive writing succeeding, and Sony themselves forced it on everyone because somebody there loved it.
So if its as good as you say it is as a game, which I've not heard anything to the contrary, then its a giant example of "shit packaging and presentation ruining a good tasting meal."
You think they'd pass up a day to ruin their Conservative family members holiday with political shouting?
There is a reason why they post infinite memes about their racist uncle on Thanksgiving, because they salivate thinking about getting to Shut Him Down and be Morally Superior.
They can buy the company, but the company has already proven once that its incapable of making a good game without Miyazaki himself. Dark Souls 2 is a meme of a joke for a reason.
So if they fuck around too hard and press a man who would get paid massively to jump to anywhere else, they will just Konami/Kojima the entire franchise and end up making a shadow of what they want.
Also, personal opinion but, Elden Ring showed the genre is on its last legs. Its pumped full of things that would be found in a bad Soulsclone game instead of a legitimate game by the man himself. Empty exploration, hugely bloated stats, and bosses designed to troll you because "le hard!" Really feels like they are running out of ideas to make the formula work again.
Shareholder responsibilities require constant "line go up" at all times. Making a decision that doesn't make line go up immediately will usually have them lose their shit, even if its a better long term choice that would make them more money.
Its why most corporations are constantly fucking around with shit that already works and destroying their futures.
Steam is literally bursting with features nobody uses. Its honestly impressive how many there are that just exist without anyone noticing.
Like, would anyone even remember Big Picture exists if not for the controller support fix it often brings?
Which also puts into perspective why so many others fail. It has been years and Epic is still missing basic features, while Steam just keeps adding new shit that people don't even notice.
There was and it was even marketed as a legit entry into "expanding the universe" instead of tie-in crap.
It was also generic Ubisoft slop that was just another copy of Far Cry 3 for the dozenth time, but this time with a cringe "oppressed native super good guy" PC instead of a psycho going against worse psychos.
Keith Rainiere had an IQ of 240 based on more evidence than what you've provided. Heck he was in in the Guinness Book of World Records for it once. And all he did with his life was con people with MLM schemes and run a sex cult.
There are more unique biomes, climates and cultures in America than most entire continents.
No country in the world has as much travel value as just going across the US. The only thing it lacks is "long history" which is increasingly getting destroyed or twisted everywhere else.
Therapy is gay and for women. It can be for men, but that's basically a niche industry that is constantly getting shafted and underfunded.
So all that's left is what a century of Feminist subversion can create to churn out the most broken and dependent cunts imaginable. Which is exactly what they want to turn all Trump voters into.
More so than just them dying, they pulled up a lot of the ladders behind them.
Instead of a guy showing up willing to work with a good attitude and getting trained to become a career Tradesman of some kind, now he needs a degree, 4 certificates, and to know somebody already working there to maybe get considered. And that's before you get into the Affirmative Action filling the spots before him.
Its complete nonsense trying to get into a lot of industries, brought on entirely by some really retarded and shortsighted boomer corporate politics to make sure "LINE GO UP" to the detriment of everything else. Including most of them retiring when the mess they caused finally comes home to roost.
They probably know its a lost issue. Its like when you know someone is fake crying, them doing so only makes you madder. So they probably knew that another "look at the poor baby mexican crying" would actually lose them points.
The Border thing has gotten too chaotic and too visible for them to control the narrative on, so they are pretending to not acknowledge it to likely do it more discreetly.
Literally anyone who hasn't gone through the full and absurd true immigration process by now should just be told to leave or be deported.
They've had the time to do it, them not doing so reveals how little they respect being here.
Never is, but if we are going down that route then I hope you never say any disparaging stereotypes about Jews, Niggers, or any other group.
After all, that's applying an absolute to a general population and according to you that's very very bad!
Women are more generalized than men due to the way X chromosomes work versus Y. Its how species stay stabilized by not having their women constantly dying off to being born a 60 IQ slugbrain or a 150 IQ psycho. So there is in fact basic biological basis that makes saying "all women are X" much more valid and accurate than "all men are X."
Your comparison is bad, probably because you forced it to fit your "y-y-y-you're just like them!" bit.
The entire AJ case is littered with bad precedents that will absolutely bite them in the ass if cited later. They keep going regardless, thinking that if they strike down every law in the land to get to Satan then the evil will cease.
That wasn't meant to be a go at you, just atheism in general. You weren't speaking as yourself so my response wasn't at yourself but the concepts as a whole.
I didn't intend personal offense with it, and you know I would own that if I did.
I don't see correcting attribution errors as an inhuman act.
The inhumanity is in thinking you are capable of it. Its ascribing that your conscious mind is superior to the subconscious and that you are capable of wrangling your mind (the thing you use to have such thoughts) to your will.
Its ironically magical thinking itself to think that because you think "I am free of these silly errors" means you actually are, when many of those silly errors are designed by your brain to make you never even aware you are making them in the first place. Your brain loves to straight delete data and your perception of reality if it sense you might be wrong about something, and it will emotionally invest you in something to keep that hidden.
That's why its such an insidious organ and you must be on constant vigilance against its machinations. My issue with what you said was that in thinking you can actually leave all that behind, instead of being a constant lifelong struggle of discipline, much like an alcoholic who is never truly "free" but rather just sober today.
Discipline is the correct choice, but its anti-human to say that your process can actually purge you of things that are inherently human, not simply religious failings.
Freud was right about a lot more general things than most people know, its just people really wanted to discredit him (because he was not nice to women) so the meme of his beliefs became more well known than the actuality. Karen Horney was one of his direct disciples and made it her life's work to do so, which is why she is a Feminist Icon and her made up "womb envy" term is now a common talking point among the RadFems.
He was certainly wrong about a lot still, but with how poor his methodology was and the pioneering he was doing, that's to be expected.
Unironically you could see these characters back tomorrow if he got a crumb of pussy from a Jewish girl he found attractive or something else that dumb.
That's the problem with these types of mentally unstable guys. Their ideologies and politics are born out of emotion and rage, which allows them a zeal and almost lucidity only found in someone so devoted, but because its not sprouted from their character and truly held principles its also easily soothed and replaced.
You can see the same with IMC and many other "converts" who always seem to be converting more than once to a very far position.
