I really don't see what's the big deal for making a note of why the game is M-Rated. Hate crimes and sex scenes have been in violent video games before, what makes FF16 so special that Kotaku has to shout it from the rooftops like it's some grand revelation or big deal? This is nothing more than a another clickbait article.
Me neither, it's crying for the sake of crying. And I don't think their article is gonna have the result it wants. The thing reads like it wants people to be upset about it, but if anything Titties and violence is making people MORE excited for the game so...
How is that people still don't learn from this? The more you make a big deal about something or try to make it sound worse than it is, the more kids, younger people, or anybody else becomes more curious and interested. These dumbass writers learn nothing from what happened back in the late '80s, '90s, and 2000s? They would have been better off saying nothing at all, but now more people are interested in the game. I don't have a problem with that, but it works against whatever they're trying to pull off. They shot themselves in the foot with a rocket launcher.
I mean this is the same argument I've had against all the racism talk in political discourse over the last few years. You wanna know how you make more racist people? You constantly tell people that they are racist no matter what. Same thing goes for homophobic, transphobic, whatever. Keep telling people they are shit, then they will become more likely to become shit.
I just brought a graphic card (not yet obtained) from AMD and it comes with a free copy of calisto protocol, its gonna be awkward if the recent ish card can't handle the free game that comes with it.
Always remember when reading articles like these, the goal isn't to combat racism/homobic/etc. The goal is to generate revenue trough traffic. They couldn't care less about racism, in fact they'd much rather it remains a thing, that way they can keep driving easy traffic with fake outrage articles. The best thing to do is ignore and move on.
That's bull crap and you know it. We've already had this discussion before. Things like that don't make people more racist or homophobic, they were already like that to begin with or got it from some other influence. Hiding racism and homophobia does nothing, but benefit those who want to keep abusing. Called out for what it is and tell them you better people. Of course, that's if they choose to be better people. That is all.
I remember a story that comedian Christopher Titus once told.
Key point more specifically, is telling them they’re a *something*-“phobe”. Lacing accusations with the fear element will always be more derogatory and send people into a tizzy more than just saying they’re “racist”. It reminds me of that Seth Myers children’s book, “I’m Not Scared, YOU’RE Scared!”
It looks to be a major departure from conventional FF story, interesting risk to take. Between that and Yoshi-P involvement... is that.. is that a tiny glimmer of hope that a new SP FF game will be good? I had forgotten how this felt.
My attitude of exhausted pessimism pays off again.
Thanks for the heads up. Damn right it better be fucking free! If they charged it, I would have not even bothered with a sale. I am going to be busy with some other games, so it won't be immediately on that date. Western AAA developers, stop rushing these games out with no new game+! I call them out specifically, because it's super rare when the Japanese does it. Another thing that does bother me is the story content DLC. If they pull off a FEAR2 (the campaign last about 2 hours at best), then the developers wasted everyone's time.
Dear God in heaven you need to use literally any other abbreviation for this game XD
If the EA-led remake ends up being good, I'm just going to have to give up on this world, because all the rules will have become invalid.
...oh. Oh my. Well, maybe it's fortunate that the game isn't good, or you might hear people saying "I can't wait to dig into some CP when I get home from work".
.....it took me way too long to realize what I've said
