Holy fuck that DOA stream thread is a graveyard.

So they restarted it but with the following READ MOD POST
Thread rebooted. Do not dismiss concerns about female objectification in this thread, and do not attempt to derail the discussion with irrelevant tangents about violence in video games: one does not excuse the other.

Keep in mind that we have a diverse community and insensitivity or immaturity in topics like these can make many members, especially women, uncomfortable.


...so what exactly is left to talk about? Just login go Tut-tut then log back out?

I'm glad to see it go - the rampant sexualization and objectification of women is a disservice to this hobby.

Where is it going? :thinking

I wonder what Era would think if they knew that DOA Xtreme 3 Scarlet has more pre-orders than DOA6 does?  :lol

DoA is honestly a relic of a sexist past and if it can't evolve with the changes in how women are represented it need to taken out back and put down.

If they seriously can't work out how to promote the game without jiggling breast then fire those people.

A lot of Nintendo rumor-mongers talk to each other, a lot of things get lost in translation, and sometimes what appears to be coming from multiple sources might actually be coming from a ring of people sharing information with one another. That's why I try to be very careful when it comes to reporting on Nintendo-related gossip that comes my way. So much of that stuff has turned out to be bunk, even from extremely reputable reporters.

             is this villifying games journalism?

Also "artistic intent" only exists at conception and apparently production or practicality cannot factor it.

How the fuck do you get to that the director / producers are "lazy" when they say
Quote
it was “untenable” to get autistic performers to play the part, and that there are clearly difficulties with casting children – and getting “informed consent from a nonverbal autistic actor aged 11 to play the role”.
the direct literal verbatim quote incelchief is responding to to to conclude they are 'lazy'?

Having a conversation about sex with RE members is like talking to me when I was 15 and trying to be a nice guy. Lots of self righteous decrees of respecting women complete with the denlie that I just want to look at some boobs.

The forum is the living embodiment of the chad vs virgin image meme.

Respecting women doesn’t mean denying their sexual self.

DoA is no great example of anything, but it’s existence hardly signals anything beyond boobs are nice.

Um, theater performances can be quite demanding, especially for children whom they usually cast with more than one actor over the duration of the play. This would be especially even more challenging if the child is autistic. It seems like a perfectly reasonable and artistic decision to overcome an ethical decision.
Then don't do the play.

That puppet is horrific

I'm going to be clear (because I'm the mod in question).



There was no reason to disbelieve Jussie's account of what happened when this story initially broke outside of conjecture and conspiracy theorizing. That sort of thing is generally frowned upon here, especially in circumstances involving victims of assault, which as of today is still Jussie Smollett.



There was no threat . It was a restatement of policy on this board



As new facts become known, feel free to discuss them.


jesus christ no wonder the userbase refuses to ever back down or apologize for anything when the mods there refuse to just say "eh we fucked up" and just ban everyone that criticizes a bad ban.

:trumps

is everyone there just allergic to the words "i was wrong"? the amount of mental hoops this dunce has to hope through to justify being an idiot as if it was the right thing to do all along :lol

I know nothing about this play but I sincerely hope the gross puppet is intended to represent the way the struggling parent views their child, and they grow over the course of the play and the surprise at the end is they can see their child in a new light, and an actual child walks out on stage to close out the play, in an inspiring message of how autistic children are people too and sometimes even their parents need to be reminded of that

That's pretty much how these outrages go at era

Yes. Women’s bodies have been toned down even further from Mortal Kombat X (which was already very tame compared to 9). And their costumes, in my opinion, lack any sort of personality now, being boring battlesuits. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I always thought Sonya’s look in 9 was fucking ridiculous, and a more serious tacticool look is better for the kind of character she is suplosed to be.

But removing all sorts of cheesecake from the ninjas is awful. It makes the game lose a lot of the fun, cheesy B 80s action movie look it used to have. Let the characters who are meant to be rooted in reality look realistic, but let the magic ninjas dress fantastically. A mix, rather than either one or the other.

Make Sonya serious and covered up, absolutely. But let Mileena’s tits be both free and huge, godfuckingdamnit.
fwiw i think they are pulling a DO5/6 on this and using the covered up costumes to advertise the game but will be having the older costumes in as custom pieces or DLC. NRS kinda did the same thing for Injustice 2. They had all the skimpier stuff as pieces for people to make their own costumes. They also waited til after release to put out the Power Girl costume for Supergirl

I'd be all for that game existing, however RE's misguidance is that they want it in DOA, which is like asking for cock centerfold in the playboy

DOA is equal opportunity when it comes to objectification. That's basically the reason Rig exists as a character.

Nah, wasn't the like DOA at all- they noticeably toned down anything skimpy and even added "under-underwear" to some costume parts, because holy shit part of a buttock on display?!  NO WAY.  Power Girl was a covered-up early New 52 style costume instead of boob-window leotard.

Crackdown 3 isn’t reviewing well.  So a dev marches into the review thread and tells the world why it’s wrong.

So I’m on holiday after being rather busy for a little over four years, I figure as the results of that labour are about to hit tomorrow, I’d pop onto the internet see if any reviews had hit...

...maybe I should have stuck to the sangria ;)

First things first, in case you are wondering, I’m one of the people who made the Campaign side of the game at Sumo. There were quite a lot of us involved in that side of the game, not all at Sumo I better add, and we’ve been working on this game for quite a long time.

Now, clearly the reviews are a little mixed... Let me start by saying in no way do I disagree with anyones right to have an opinion. I’m disappointed in some of them and certainly I see points that are valid having being on the crazy journey it’s been to get the game out...

...But... I also have to disagree as well. You can righly accuse me of bias, hey, i’m sure I look at the results positively, but let me tell you something first before you rush to judge me.

Over the years I’ve worked on well over 40 games and most, once we archive the code and launch it into the big bad world, I leave behind and rarely pick up to play again.

A select few, and the list is short, OutRun2/2006, Sonic & All-Star Racing Transformed and now Crackdown 3, I can’t wait to get a copy of to play again. In this case I even went out and bought an Xbox One X to play it, as I couldn’t talk MS into sending me one... :)

Why do I feel this about a game that seems so far to be recieving dicey reviews?

Simply, each time I play it, I have enormous fun. And that fun changes each time I do it as it can be played in many different ways. As that is what Crackdown is all about.

We’ve made something that is unashamed of being a videogame...

We have no pretensions of being a movie, there is a story, its acted with some panache not least by Terry, but it exists to give you guidance to go beat the bad guys.

Which you can do either with your fists, a rather large selection of silly over the top weapons, a vehicle that can smash other traffic out of the way, drive up walls the literally change into a tank, or via any other means you can conjure up in our wholly physical world.

And if you nudge that difficulty up past normal, get used to improvising and using that world to your advantage as you really are going to need to. Even in Co-Op. I know, I’ve tried!

This is the rub, as a side effect of giving players freedom once you are let into the city, one reviewers playthrough is going to be utterly different to others. I’m already seeing a disparity based on how they chose to play the game - and on which difficulty.

I’ve even seen some go ‘Wait a minute, you can save the Agent and the World seperately’ which is a very intentional choice. We want player to experiment, to try different methods, different weapons, different routes. We want you to reserve a slot for that game you play with your best friend. We want you to try a combat focussed Agent, an Agility based one, we want you to try and beat the game with your own rules, never touch the ground Agent, see if you can clock it only raining down aircon units from rooftops. Or kill one baddie, and use him to bludgeon the rest to death with. Did you know you can kill enemies by throwing their dead friends at them?

We actively want you to go and have fun. Then show us! Stream it, YouTube it, make some GIF’s, there will be moments we go ‘Wow, fair play, we didn’t predict that!’ and genuinely laugh at situations we’ve given you the freedom to create.

This is why we are so happy this game will be on GamePass. Like the other two Crackdown games before it, its something players may not ‘get’ or appreciate unless they try it themselves. I bought the original to get that Halo 3 beta (I’m that old) but I fell in love with it as here was a game where you went ‘What if I...’ and it allowed you to try it, and then frequently hit you with a pithy one liner from the VOA as the results made you laugh out loud.

Its that kind of game. I’m already seeing players initial posts where their experience is fun, personal and rewarding. Don’t take my word for it, go look at the games OT. My barometer is always how players react to a game. I’m looking forward to what people who play the game think.

I suspect as the days pass, people will start to dig into the game and see if its for them or not. I feel a lot of people will find it is. Crackdown has always been cult, I’d hoped we could expand it and I feel GamePass is the place this can happen.

And if not, believe me we certainly tried, we wanted to make the best sequel to Crackdown we possibly could and in my eyes at least, we did what we set out to do. Feel free to hate it, your opinion is as valid as mine, but hate it once you’ve tried it, that’s all I ask.

Right, I better go back to being on holiday, though it feels more like rum and coke time vs sangria...!

True story, I checked out the balcony on my hotel room with my wife. she loved the clear sea view right out to the med. Me? I saw the building opposite, judged a level one Agent could clearly climb it and lamented the lack of some Agility orbs on the roof. This game sticks with you :)

There needs to be a checklist of common things devs say when their games review poorly.

"It's just fun!" & "They didn't play it the correct way!" are high on that list.

After watching the Digital Foundry video on it, I actually think it looks OK. That said I won't purchase anything on the Windows Store until it is 5 bucks.
