I don't know how much of a household name he is, but that pastor is a million times funnier than the hateful late night talk show hacks the establishment trots out to parrot their propaganda.
I could listen to him do stand up for hours; he does not hold back!
Ironically, it can be a big money maker if corrupt executives would just put their greed aside for once and prioritize customers over shareholders.
Wonder how much of Bill Gates and Fauci playing God with fucked up gain of function research is tied into this.
That corrupt, underhanded, genuinely detestable piece of shit is probably one of the worst things to happen to Japan in the last decade.
I encourage you guys to challenge my opinion.
I'm saving up to buy a copy of the Dreamcast version.
I know it may not be totally arcade perfect, but it comes quite close for me and seems far more attainable for me than the Neo Geo version.
I've wanted to play this game for over a decade now.
This might be worth adding to the list too: https://www.gematsu.com/2024/03/fatal-fury-city-of-the-wolves-launches-in-early-2025
The cult favorite fighting game Garou (or Fatal Fury in the US): Mark of the Wolves is finally getting a sequel and is set to release next year. This is the first new Fatal Fury game in about 25 years.
What I've seen so far looks rather promising; even better, I can't find any real traces of wokeness. It looks like it'll be a much needed breath of fresh air in the current gaming landscape.
Jim Ryan was the PlayStation head when the wokeness at that brand was at a peak.
Hiroki Tatoki has taken his place. He's from Japan, so he may very well have a firmer focus on making quality games that entertain everyone- which is exactly what Japanese gamers have been wanting (Japan as a whole does not seem happy with the globalists' push to force them to accept wokeness one bit.)
Quite the contrast from his predecessor, who must have signed most of the decision making over to the California division.
From what you've said about those two games, he may have come in at just the right time.
I'm not holding my breath or anything, but he seems like he's actually trying to get publishers and developers to knock it off with the wokeness.
The disgusting, ignorant way the PlayStation social media team and the U.S. division responded to the aftermath of the 2020 Summer of Love made me wary about buying a PS5.
However, games like Tekken 8 and Elden Ring do look rather tempting, and I heard the wokest personnel like Neil Cuckmann could very well be leaving the industry altogether- or at least have far less influence.
Perhaps I'm being too optimistic, but it looks like things might finally be heading in the right direction for the PlayStation brand again.
On the other hand, do you think Phil Spencer is close to scoring that successful game? FH5 was sort of there, but its numbers could very well have just been boosted by Game Pass' existence. And Halo Infinite and FM 2023 seem to have disappointed players so far and are cited as examples of what's wrong with the current Xbox brand.
I'd like to add 3 things:
Give Forza 2023 a proper career mode like FM4 that takes full advantage of the game's car and circuit roster and includes a variety of modes like circuit racing, off road racing, drifting, drag racing, etc. Make it lengthy enough to feel like meaningful progression is possible and fully playable for those without an Internet connection.
Broker deals with the licensed race series from FM6-7 like IMSA, IndyCar, NASCAR, Repco Supercars, etc. to include their current cars and flesh out their selection of paint jobs for them. This would considerably boost Forza 2023's connection to real world motorsports.
Release a patch for Horizon 5 that quietly removes the pronouns from the character customization, especially in the wake of the research from the past few years that confirms them as a symptom of a mental illness.
Could not have said this better myself.
Do you think he'll succeed at pushing the wokeness?
In my opinion, he's seeing a similar pushback like the one Mattrick saw in 2013. More people are beginning to see DEI/ESG for the predatory scam that it is and really becoming vocal in their opposition to it.
I think the opposition to the wokeness is at an all time high, perhaps even bigger than when Trump was President.
Does anyone here think Phil Spencer has done a good job as Xbox CEO?
The games media fawns over this guy, but I don't quite understand the hype for him.
It seems like the Xbox brand has a bit of an identity crisis. Microsoft itself has been particularly meddlesome in the development process, they canceled promising titles like Scalebound and let other franchises lay dormant, they're really pushing the ESG garbage, the brand only seems as big as it is because of the mergers that have their own anti competitive implications, Spencer himself wants to ban players across every online platform for "hate speech", and it seems they currently only really have 2 big name franchises; Forza and Halo.
Furthermore, feel free to disagree with me on this, but I'm not sure I see the advantage of Game Pass, especially as someone who doesn't care to play online. You have to pay a base fee on top of the additional cost for individual games. I tend to wait for the price of a game I want to play to come down; and I learn about said games from forums like this one. Wouldn't it make more sense to pay the game's MSRP up front and not just more directly support the developers, but have a working copy you have more ownership of? And not have to worry about looking for a specific game, only to see it delisted because you decided you needed more time to see whether you truly wanted to purchase it or not?
Lately, it seems that Game Pass itself seems to reward bare bones, exploitative live service game design. Look at Forza 2023, which was apparently specifically designed for Game Pass users. The career mode was bare bones at launch, the game itself was riddled with technical issues, its campaign only got new events through this live service model; and the events themselves disappear after a certain time. Forza 2023 also requires an Internet connection to save progress, and seems to require extensive amounts of grinding to make meaningful progression in the game.
If that's the sort of game Game Pass seems to incentivize the creation of, I'm not sure that's a gaming experience for me; especially if other gaming companies try to replicate it.
At that point, a game feels more like a full time job rather than something fun.
Maybe I'm just an out of touch dinosaur. But I don't quite see how Phil Spencer's ideas benefit the customer. I'd love to hear your guys' thoughts on what Phil Spencer has done for the Xbox brand.
Can Elon buy Microsoft, too?
And they turned something negative (depression) into something positive (awesome art).
Mega Man is literally a game with humans and robots of all sizes, personalities, shapes, and colors.
How can you get any more diverse than that?
This is one of the groups trying to shut down InfoWars and other alternative news outlets.
About 4 years late with that, "health experts".
More people than ever are going to take their health into their own hands, clean up their diets, and take the best care of themselves they possibly can specifically so that they won't be at your mercy anymore.
Your credibility's destroyed; the only way you can regain any semblance of it is to step down and let real doctors like Judy Mikovits, David Martin, Peter McCullough, Stella Immanuel, and any of America's Frontline Doctors do their things free of your influence.
Is Advil going to believe the pain of all those who got injured from the COVID mRNA poisons?
What's the lecture in a racing game? Reach the finish line first to pay your bills?
It's crazy how they shoehorn politics into everything, even when they're not there.
They need to get rid of the "identities" in games with character customization, too.
You're either male or female. Preferred pronouns are a sign of mental illness.
But he literally won an NAACP award and fired people from Mar-a-Lago for discriminating against blacks and other minorities.
Goes to show how establishment journalists nowadays ignore facts inconvenient for the narrative.
He also botched a pro-LGBT message in Family Guy itself by having Lois say she would be wrong to make Peter stop being gay. Even though he only became gay after getting injected with a "gay serum".
So was he implying that people become gay because somebody else plays God with them?
It's incredible how big his impact was in the realms of gaming and anime.
I don't think there will ever be another Akira Toriyama.
RIP Mr. Toriyama. Prayers to his family.
His incredible legacy will live on.
No wonder the new Test Drive Unlimited is always online.
Needless to say, any anticipation I had for that title evaporated quite quickly when that news broke.
A shame since Forza Horizon could really use some competition.
Now I want to know 2 things:
What blackmail the establishment has on him
What the corrupt executives and producers tempted him with to become the DNC/globalist's mouthpiece
I don't think he was ever really political until now.
