The thing is, not that many people stick around a CoD studio for very long. It has improved now that they alternate releases, but when you operate studios that have "pre crunch" in order to make linear corridor shooters then you accept that a certain percentage of your talent just won't stick around for very long.

They did change the bonus structure after the fiasco that lead to Respawn forming to force people to stay longer.

Like the local progression in LA for awhile was work for work for hire studio, go to Activision and work on a CoD game or go work at EALA, then go to Insomniac/ND/Sony Santa Monica, then burn out or something.

Riot and Blizzard gobble up a lot of top tier talent now. Since most of their offerings aren't on normal holiday release schedules they can offer non crunch based work environments.
There's also the sheer scope change. Just for the "developer" studio, Call of Duty has about 25 people credited and no additional outside contractors (outside of music/sound), 2 which added console development goes up to ~45, 4:MW comes in around 75 and adds a few contractors...by the time you get to Ghosts there's 300 people credited that aren't listed under the Activision headers with easily over a hundred for just the main developers and then as many contractors plus other Activision owned developers like Raven/Neversoft/etc.

Ghosts shares 467 credits with MW3 which shares only 140 credits with MW2. MW2 shares 143 credits with MW which shares 90 credits with 2. Only 70 credits are shared between 2 and the original game. That includes all the Activision people.

Only 44 people worked on all the Infinity Ward credited games from Call of Duty to MW3, also including Activision listed staff.

Infinite Warfare is comparatively even more insane, it's easily got a thousand people credited. It shares 611 with Ghosts, 299 with MW3.

Mass Effect 1 and 3 share 146 credits but 2 and 3 share 314 credits. 3 has some 750 people credited.

I agree at some point we no longer have the ability to attribute them to a developer as a name. And that point probably actually was ten years ago or more. Sooner depending on if the company is French...

Assassin's Creed, number of people shared:
I -> II: 358 people
II -> Brotherhood: 851 people
Brotherhood -> Revelations: 848 people
Revelations -> III: 1153 people
III -> IV: 1482 people
IV -> Unity: 1489 people

I -> Syndicate: 191 people, one of whom is Yves

As I understand the movie only adapts less than half of the manga and the manga tone is different than the what the film ended being.

As I understand the movie only adapts less than half of the manga and the manga tone is different than the what the film ended being.

IIRC the production of the film was launched as the manga was still running and the film was simply too huge a project to be postponed anyway.

But beyond those production facts, I think it's still a fairly dumb remark : The manga full story has insane scope (and shifts midway or so to a post nuke setting with a major ellipsis), a ton of characters and gets pretty intense. It's hard to imagine they could have condensed that properly in a 2 hour movie. The tone ain't that far off though it's doing something a little different with the ending. The movie DOES adapt the manga pretty faithfully (including some parts that were in the end of the run like Tetsuo going giant baby monster thing), keeping true to the spirit (it captures really well the fact that the society depicted is rotten beyond redemption and has run its course despite the extreme lengths the powers that be are going to), the general plot outline, with whole sequences and iconic visuals worked in, consistent art supervised by the main creative force.

It's what an adaptation is supposed to be : working material from another media within different parameters.

I don't mind people not liking it, but throwaway comments of "well, duh, why didn't they just X ?" are making me :umad

EDIT :

Speaking of - it started as a joke, but of course someone had to make the point seriously...

I kind of always wanted to watch the film or read the manga, but for whatever reason I'm have been no able to do it (the manga price being crazy expensive as I would need to import, for one thing). You kind of revived my interest on it.

The morality of going to strip clubs
Quote from: GrizzNKev;232837577
I wouldn't go but it's more that I get a gross vibe from the whole deal rather than take moral issue.
Quote from: Red Liquorice;232837653
Personally I find them creepy
Quote from: Real Hero;232837683
I wouldn't go either, it seems like a very creepy thing to do
Quote from: Servbot24;232838309
I don't think it's immoral, but it does seem creepy to me. Definitely not my scene.

Maybe I'm just getting too hung up on the word.  "Creepy?"  No.  That describes some of the men who go to strip clubs, not the clubs themselves.  Sleazy, trashy, etc. makes way more sense.

But my friend from ATL, and his stories, and his friends, and why they like it. Well, i think it's the allure of what might happen after the dance. Plenty of times you interaction continues with the stripper, apparently. Could be a relationship, or just flat out sex for money, all things that are intriguing and alluring to many people.

Shame about the prices. Seems French runs are the same despite having been widely available at one point. For the manga it's a matter of taste but I prefer the original black & white. The color version (done in the US but with Otomo approval, IIRC) is fine but it's a bit of a superfluous addition that dulls and smears the blunt force and intricate art of Otomo. Speed lines may not look like much but when there's hundreds...

Film is a true classic. The manga has much deeper characters, some insane post nuke scenes and a better story (though I find it drags a bit sometimes), sure. But the movie is up to par, has vivid animation, captures most of the essence and a magnificent soundtrack. I think it's probably a more direct, stronger experience.

My favourite memory from a strip club was when the girl on stage grabbed the pole, and knocked loose a 4 foot by 4 foot piece of plywood in the ceiling, causing it to come crashing down on her head. Almost knocked her unconscious. Right after it happened, she looked into the crowd, dazed, and nobody said or did shit, so she slid the wood off stage and kept dancing. A real trooper.  :salute

To be fair, in the consultant community it's generally held that Atlanta/Houston and a few other cities are held as "stripper culture" . I've heard it a lot of places.

I little off topic because is not GAF bashing but I watching the TB review and at times it sounds to apologist or like he has trouble finding some justifications for his mixed feelings. Like saying we may see writing in past Bioware games with nostalgia googles but almost immediately how less is more with camera angles because Deus ex only have one for they very shitty an awkward conversations.

I mean, is nice he enjoys it but something is grasping straws like feeling that colonization and getting a bar full is something 'innovative or immersive'.

TB will be blow away by Xenoblade X, because that game shares many of the same problems and virtues (but being overall a better package for what it is).

Quote from: Shadowhelper;232841288
I've only been once, in an Eastern European country because by BF who I was colleagues with and working with on business trip.

He's from ATL, so I think it's a big part of the culture of the city. I always avoided the strip clubs when I had chances to go with friends, everytime, because of the reasons you stated.

But my friend from ATL, and his stories, and his friends, and why they like it. Well, i think it's the allure of what might happen after the dance. Plenty of times you interaction continues with the stripper, apparently. Could be a relationship, or just flat out sex for money, all things that are intriguing and alluring to many people.
:confused

It really is a big deal down there.  Music producers will pay the club DJ's to play their music because it's a great way to launch young artists.

IIRC the whole rise of crunk in the early 2000's was due to Lil Jon and other ATL producers going to the strip clubs and hearing a bunch of turn-of-the-century trance anthems being played there and wanting to recreate the supersaw sounds  8)

People have been downloading games that wouldn't fit on the switch's onboard storage for years, but sure, the issue here is DL caps.

I didn't know becoming highly invested in a debate was a free pass to act like a jerk for everyone that engages you regardless of the fact they're not acting in the same equally poor fashion. Good to know. What happened in other threads and who called whom a shitposters is not my problem when I'm here arguing sincerely and yet being called a waifu-crazed dudebro pervert for no good reason. If you're being a dismissive and disingenious jerk poster who devolves to calling every disagreeable gaffer confused, ignorant and stupid, you deserve to have it brought to your attention that you're a mess.

Quote
Please save your stupid condescension for someone else. I own a number of art books from my school days and know exactly what that is, have since a young age. Your over-explanation is unnecessary and doesn't change anything previously stated that Tracer was designed to be both hot and practical. Your examples are comical and reveal how attached/biased you've become to the designs YOU personally like.

I understand you're getting defensive because YOUR waifus aren't as progressive and perfect as you love to imagine.

Quote
I don't expect to ever change your mind CE, I see you often posting in any topic to do with anything sexual in gaming in the same ways. However, big debates resulting in comments like the one bolded is what makes your points of view often come across similar to "religious puritanism".

Your scale seems to go from 0 to 100. Nothing in-between. Which is fine as your personal outlook, but your way of arguing often comes across as verging on demanding others think like you or they get resulting remarks like the one I bolded above. An attempt to smear people as "not believing women are people". Or whatever you meant by that comment. Which is ridiculous. Everyone's dials just do not go from 0 to 100 when a bit of skin is on show. I would have hoped the collective result of probably near 1000 words I've posted in here would give you some food for thought from a psychological POV, from someone sex-positive and someone who finds it dear to their heart to live in a world with better sex education for youths to stop a lot of this shaming, guilt-tripping, bastardising and name-calling (earlier we had people automatically called perverts by another poster).

Quote
Why do you talk like this to everyone who disagrees with you? Everyone is either a confused moron or a dirty waifu-crazed pervert and you're here to SCHOOL them, and it comes through in your repulsive tone. Do everyone a favor and give it a rest if you can't stop such enormous condescension, because it makes that much more unconvincing. And no, this is not tone policing. I'm telling you your demeanor, regardless of the merits of your argument, is terrible and off-putting.

This is every thread you make. You take unrelated stats like strong sales of sports games and Nintendo games as proof that your loaded arguments are a fact of life. You haven't proven anything ITT.

I read your sloppy and typo-laden OP. I understood it and I disagree with it, as did many others. You're veering off into shitty territory by resorting to telling people they're "confused" for not agreeing with your shoddy premises.

I watched an episode of One Punch Man and enjoyed it. Am I an animu now? Where do I sign up for my waifu body pillow? Do I have to buy my own cane with a katana hidden in it, or do I send the receipt in to accounts payable and get reimbursed?

I really liked Haruhi Suzumiya a few year back. Am I a perverted nerd still, or has enough time passed to wash the perverted virgin misogynist stink off of me?



Also, Crossing Eden probably has the most fucked up, weirdo fetishist browsing history of anyone on GAF.

Nah, I can believe that- I can't be the only one whose ISP only recently started having data caps.

It's funny; I dropped the TV stuff from my provider to knock the bill way down.  To get around the data caps, you can pay an additional $30 a month, which I did because we kept going over.  So now the bill is back where it was with TV again.   :lol :-\

I look at this in two ways.  On one hand, 25GB of free space on Switches is laughable.  On the other hand, they went with micro SD cards for storage.  So it doesn't cost that much to add more space, especially compared to the Vita.

Lol what mod is this  :lol More of this please. From the now locked blisteringly original thread ' What is your favorite PS4 console exclusive so far?'

Quote from: CaptainofIndustry
What is your favorite PS4 exclusive so far? I think mine is currently Bloodborne, but I just started playing Horizon Zero Dawn and I can see this taking the top spot. I'm only a few hours in and I'm loving it.


Note: I labeled the title of the thread console exclusive to include games like Nier: Automata as well (it's on Steam, too). ]At this point, who SHOULDN'T be recused?

Quote from: Modbot
A) Who gives a crap what is or isn't exclusive when talking about favorite games? B) Low effort thread with no discussion value, people just listing titles. Zzzzzz.

For some reason I suspect it's Duckroll.
