I think they're absolutely desperate to make some kind of money, right now. They're not thinking about the two likely outcomes here. Either the Wild West takes off, and forum traffic moves there effectively putting the entire forums behind a paywall. That could have some near-term benefits...

And we're done. People who can explain why they liked something, or why they hated it, in detail are the best. If someone raves about a game not having an element I despise, that's just as valuable to me as talking about something that I love. Being informative and honest is what matters the...

Unless, you know, they just really dislike the idea of a big Skinner Box, who's designer forgot to include a reward mechanism that works for most of us?

It's "funny" in the way that softcore porn is often "funny", because a plot or a story that was anything more would require talent and effort. Ecchi shit, is what I'd call it.

Also everything that slo said.

You say it's not part of the genre definition, then point to Senran Kagura? lol

I was going to say, this game isn't an MMO. Even as an MMO though, it would pretty much be good for griefing and not much else. The basic gameplay just doesn't leave much room to accomplish anything, except to impede the desires of others or "reach the center".

Adding a paywalled shit-talking section to a forum that's been losing a lot of members, and has been struggling in general seems so crazy that I wonder if it's the equivalent of opening more blood vessels on animal who's throat you've already slit.

The problem at the core, is that people are much better at noticing patterns and subtle variations on those patterns, than computers currently are at creating them. There is also the cold, empty space element, which seems... pointless. Pointless seems to epitomize the experience, and IMO that...

Yeah, if you're not cherrypicking the worst, and actually use your mental filters like you normally would, it's pretty useful. The people who love it, love it, and aren't claiming anything that the people who hate it aren't. Both agree that it's basically a big, empty, place to explore and stick...

I'm sure the marketing and PR departments that got this "fuck RT" and similar things going feel monumentally smug right now. Instead of apologizing to their most loyal and extreme fans for not meeting their expectations, they've cashed in on their cognitive dissonance and turned them into...

Uh huh, thank god it was so clear I didn't mean the recent one. As for the trivia about how it was made, not sure why that matters. Hence my use of the phrase, "Decades ago". Seriously, this is getting old, fast. Ridiculous. Go watch a Rihanna video.

Whatever you say bruh, but I think sometimes it's a "Claim" homie, and sometimes it's an "Opinion" shorty, depending on who said and it when. I've been online long enough to avoid that entire mess.

It's a bit of a pick n' mix, choose your own adventure, but not a bad one. I had something called "Haw Flakes" once, that was sort of like fruit leather. Very nice, but I'm still not 100% sure what it actually was.
