miss monday is probably the original fake roll design from mighty no 9

[shrugtheironteacup]

Seems grosser than Saints Row IV (and III) to me.

And if a two-minute trailer is grosser than all the time I've put into those games

I was interested in yaiba because inafune's company was involved with it, and i still might play it, but now that will be happening definitely in a closet where no one i know will ever see me.

Don't worry, you can't play your collection of Nirvana CDs on the new PS4, but they are announcing a (new?) PocketStation on the 5th of November:

I take some form of mild solace in the fact that that Yaiba trailer has about three times as many downvotes as it has upvotes.

"Speaking personally, at the height of the bubble, all the talk about 'games for moms' began to grate a bit," recalls Area/code's Cancienne. "After a while, it was hard for me not to hear 'but a middle-aged woman in Ohio won't understand that' as a dismissive, reductive, and small-minded excuse to dumb down gameplay and hew to established conventions."

In Cancienne's view, in fact, the laser-focus on an imagined, mass-market "moms and middle-aged women" demographic might have been where the Facebook boom began to waver: "You had a huge population of product managers, game designers, and developers making games that they themselves didn't like," he says.

"What's worse, they were supposedly making them for this cohort that existed as a cartoon -- the middle aged mom sitting at home, bored with her life," he adds. "Given this mostly male, mostly disinterested group of people cynically making games for this other group that existed primarily as a stereotype, it's not hard to see how the bubble burst."

isn't saints row regarded as being one of the least (if not the least) gross aaa game franchises?

actually, yes, though the series started out pretty gross in its tone/portrayal of women, and even after the tone shifted significantly in the 3rd and 4th instalments, it remains really sophomoric (mostly in a good way) and I think people who haven't played it tend to confuse what they've heard as a result.

but hell, in Saints Row 4, if you play a female main character, I'd say well over half the dialogue in the game is your main character shooting the shit & yelling at shaundi + kinzie. it passes the bechdel test better than any game I've ever played (indie or otherwise) largely because they intentionally didn't give it a shit when they were developing it, which is also why you're able to "romance" any member of your crew with the same dialog regardless of your gender.

it's also finally a lot of fun to play compared to past instalments and I generally can't say enough good things about it.

Hey guys remember when we said we weren't going to go around calling things gross anymore because it's incredibly lazy and reductive?

Personally, I don't mind video games starring sexist assholes. The disgusting thing about the Yaiba trailer to me is that they didn't even put any effort into making its sexist asshole cool or funny. The writing in that trailer is awful. The dialogue comes across as being misogynistic just for the sake of being misogynistic.

But that's not a very funny joke. It's certainly no HUGE GUTS RIP AND TEAR; he just sounds like a teenager on Xbox Live. I mean, "Take a suck"?

That video mostly just made me want to play a game about Miss Monday.

[Ni Go Zero Ichi]

I dunno I think making a protagonist of a commercial video game who talks and acts like a 12-year-old on Xbox Live is a pretty funny joke on some level, though I have no idea whether that's what these writers were actually going for or not

But like, what does "Take a suck" even mean? It's just bizarrely worded total nonsense that sounds vaguely obscene. Like a video game protagonist spouting horrible Youtube comments as one-liners. It's so terrible that, at least for me, it easily qualifies as camp.

I'd rather not spend any time with 12 year olds on Xbox live

[diplo]

What amazed me just as much as the epic humor was that we can still have a videogame trailer in 2013 be pretty much unending shots of some guy cutting up a bunch of baddies with fireworks of blood assisting each wicked sick murder

[Toups]

something being camp does not inherently make it awesome or even redeemable

this game looks like trashy trash

I don't know what all you guys are talking about. I'm taking this Yaiba game deadly seriously. I am composing my strongly-worded tweet as we speak.

Considering everything that has come out about Ghosts leading up to and since it's release and all the stuff about its supposed next-gen versions, I think being caught copy-pasting an older ending they did is the least of their problems

not that this helps or anything

anyway, die videogames
