I’m not as aware of the lore and like it, so that sounds accurate. Just someone that played the Fallout’s back in the day when they came out and like it. Played 1-3 and Brotherhood of Steel as I recall it was called, but not the ones after. Brotherhood never got the love it deserved I thought. That was actually the first one I played.
I’m only a couple episodes in but I like it too. You can tell they were pushing for diversity here and there with two of the three main characters being a woman and a black man, but as a character the black guy’s actually kind of evil which is refreshing, and the woman’s hot. The ghoul’s mostly just fun and goes around killing everything and hates everyone but the dog. Played the games growing up and lived through the golden age too.
It’s not a literary masterpiece of serial cinema or anything, but I like it. I like Fallout but don’t know enough to know if they broke all the lore but I’ll just assume they broke some of it. I mean if it’s a 1950’s future the fact that everybody’s race mixed is already breaking that I suppose. And the Ghoul’s daughter being black and his wife being black in the opening obviously wouldn’t make sense.
I’ll agree with some others that said it may be my low expectations, but I like it.
The right tends to know what leftists believe but the left has no idea what right wing folks tend to believe or why and they actively don’t care.
It’s worse than American slavery because the slaves got free room and board for a small amount of work. Now they want you to pay them for the privilege of working without profit.
It turns out in the war against Skynet, we just need more black and brown people because AI will be too afraid to speak or act negatively towards them.
Think of it this way. Elden Ring sold well but took like 8 years and a lot of money to make. Make 8 shitty games instead for 1/2 as much total and release those instead. Profit maximized. Play? Not so much.
It’s an odd trick of modern psychology that people are being shamed for not wanting bad things for their country. The kind of immigration London saw was not beneficial for the people that lived in London. If you’re voting on stuff, wouldn’t it be normal to want to vote for things that are beneficial to the people living there already? The blacks and browns they’re bringing in are going to vote for things that benefit them. Why are people being made to feel ashamed for when they do the same?
It’s not like Japan’s wanting to vote for genociding immigrations and going to war with them. They just want Japan to continue being largely made of Japanese people. This would be of objective benefit to the people largely comprising Japan. For what reason should they want to or be forced to let in people from butthole countries?
Different entries do different things, but Yakuza 0’s the only 80’s one as I recall. They did have a recent one that takes place in feudal Japan though, so it’s a different kind of 80’s.
Most DEI in marketing and advertising targets black people. Black people on average are broke and don’t buy most things, and steal a lot. It’s an interesting marketing decision to target them and neglect the demographics that buy more things and exist in larger numbers in countries that buy things.
They seemingly tried having the series transition to new characters with Like a Dragon, but people missed the old ones so much they just continued on both series and made a third spinoff to go alongside the other spinoff called the Judgement series.
Seemingly there are so many games because they reuse a lot of the assets between games, including characters and entire towns. They’re all hilarious though. Pretty regularly they’ll have JAV stars in the games, which I only found out after googling one of the characters that I thought was pretty hot.
You’re not filming porn, but you go to a club and pay for dates with pornstars that were filmed to be on the date with you in video format. You answer questions and give gifts trying to get into their pants. All their reactions are filmed. I don’t think you unlock an actual porno if you win, but you’re still on dates with porn stars like Ai Sayama, which apparently autocorrects to AI Saiyans.
That’s how I felt when I heard about the layoffs. Most games I look forward to aren’t AAA anymore anyway. Or they’re in the weird AA space like the Yakuza series. Man with No Name let you go on cabaret dates with actual Japanese porn stars and filmed them for it. Safe to say at least that franchise isn’t going woke anytime soon.
Statistical literacy is the bane of all things trans discourse. The chances of people like her having three trans kids is less than being struck by lightning while under water and being eaten by a flaming shark.
If it makes you feel any better one of the first to off herself’s a girl.
They ruined it in exactly the same way they ruined Game of Thrones in the last two seasons, only not as bad. Great source material, good enough kick off in the beginning, then a hard fumble. Shit just happens one thing after another with little logic to the order and the way it’s presented makes no sense after a while. Characters aren’t very believable. That’s not even considering the DEI stuff.
It is pretty hilarious that people seem to exclusively pair up with people of opposite races. The Asian cop actor also gets made fun of as a fat old out of date dad, and his ungrateful son insulting him while being unemployed and playing video games is gay for no reason. It’s not even a plot point and he’s a non character, it’s just inserted for no reason. He’s basically playing Mortal Kombat and looks down on his dad that’s paying the bills and talks about his boyfriend and that his dead mother had bad taste for getting with his dad and fathering him and funding him to be a loser. There’s an authentic hatred for the dad there as a normal heterosexual father that had a kid.
Starts off well, then kind of falls flat. The novels are more towards hard science fiction and the point is to think about how the implications of many scientific theories are playing out or could play out at different levels, centered around some mystery elements like some physicists committing suicide for reasons unknown. It’s very good.
The Netflix version is a bag of skittles that mostly shuffles random elements around from the various plot points of the novels. It clearly has no idea why people liked the novels or what made them unique. It’s also not very well made or well acted in most cases. I was surprised they had the balls to show a black guy smoking too much pot and criticize him for it.
Novels are worth reading. The Netflix version had potential but they fumble pretty hard as they go. I don’t personally care about it being in the UK and merely having it start in China, but it seems like it’d have been a slam dunk for diversity quotas to just make everybody Chinese.
You don’t remember everyone being Chinese?
The word salad’s getting hilarious. They’re acting like the criminals were on their way to get their third PhD after curing cancer and a cop pulled up and physically threw them into jail because they had a tan.
The honest questioning was the funniest part. Man literally just asked him what he was about and to clarify it and he started floundering.
“What do you want?” “To end America!” “So how do we do that?” “Leave!” “To where?” “Far from Capitalism! Which is located in the capitals.”
Bro’s out there with his iPhone and swag and tattoos unknowingly lobbying people to become Amish.
It’d be fitting if this communist revolution bullshit started back with GG1, and ended with the superior sequel, GG2.
Is there something to SBI besides them ruining the narratives of many popular franchises and probably having bot farms supporting them on social media?
Pretty much is GG Part 2 at this point. Everyone was pissed that most popular game franchises suck now and this company ended up being at the heart of that on the narrative front.
I don’t think it’s a ‘changing with the times’ thing so much as social media opening up the floodgates of competition and people realizing they weren’t very funny but were just there. All of the popular web comic type things of that era were pretty similar. Penny Arcade was probably the biggest. Actual titans in the industry at one point. Never hear anybody mention them anymore and haven’t for a long time.
Reading up on what happened to the old popular game webcomics actually is kind of hilarious, like the VGCats guy. Ended up getting divorced and drawing furry porn of his characters to pay the bills and had a melt down over it or something.
The 80’s and 90’s were the last decades before that became the growing norm.
Not ninjas. Leonardo’s arm looks like some BDSM shit.
I’m all for shitting on modern beauty standards but the lead here’s your typical thin hot model chick: https://www.instagram.com/p/CZFNjRmJjAM/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
She’s not frumpy or anything in the slightest.
