Here's a tip ComedySmasher...have a shower, use some deodorant, get a haircut and get a fucking job. That goes for the rest of you Reeeeesetera shut ins too. It's amazing how small your problems become when you are doing something useful.

..I'll add to that. Stop looking to the world to solve your problems. You can't ever hope for anybody else to care about you if you don't even care about yourself. Get off ERA, leave the mongs behind and take actual steps to improve your lot in life. The rest will follow.

You'd be hard pressed to find a different time when PC gaming, Soyny, Xbox and Nintendo handheld gaming were this good and all your favorite games were frankly so easy to find and play and perhaps even play better now than they ever did before.
Folks, you can literally play the latest AAAA+ 200 hour RPG Epic ELDEN RING on a $399 handheld on your big beautiful toilet seat, TimeSplitters 2 in 4K 120fps on your Xbox Series X or Half-Life: Alyx in VR.
We will soon have a HD Mario Kart with 96 tracks, you can literally play Mario Kart all day without having to play a track twice and not only is there a somewhat HD Waifu + Fire Emblem game with 4 branching paths there's also a Mosou spin-off of the same game.
You want to play a HD remake of Links Awakening? It exists. You want to replay Resident Evil 2 but would rather have it play like Resident Evil 4? It exists. You want to play a remastered version of Half-Life made by the fans? It exists.
Remember Live A Live that Japanese only SNES RPG, it's coming in HD-2D form and the vocalist of the Dragonball Z theme song is doing the main theme can you finish it before Xenoblade 3 hits days later?

If you are a cry baby and don't want 'new' or 'remastered' games but 'old new' games you are in luck too because indie developers are literally making 'sequels' to GoldenEye 64, FEAR and Turtles in Time.

A few publishers shit the bed with bullshit, like EA, Konami, Ubisoft and whoever is making all that mobile shit but those are some of the most horrible companies in all of gaming history anyway.
But credit where credit is due. You can play Assassins Creed Origins at 60fps now and the Mass Effect Trilogy too. In some cases you don't even have to re-buy these games. You pop them in and they are auto-remastered.

By some miracle even the Sonic and Pokemon Hollywood movies as well as the TV shows based on Castlevania and The Witcher are good as well as the games you get for free by literally just logging in.

reddit apparently banned trans genocide denial?

(Image removed from quote.)

I know it makes me the biggest monster here since Marrec, but I cannot stand the term “trans genocide” nor the people that use it without irony.  Charged words like “genocide”, “racism”, etc. continue to lose all meaning because of us living in an age of narcissistic perma-victims.

Also in terms of badthink, I find their notion of a "day of remembrance" extremely morbid and creepy as hell, because they just don't have the holocaust that they seemingly want as a rallying point, so just read out a list of names that have nothing in common except being 'trans' as though they are martyrs to a cause, when its just a fucking list of dead people who are part of the spectrum of humanity, so it includes things like people who murdered their partner then suicided by cop, people killed in drug deals gone bad, paedophiles murdered in prison by other inmates, etc but wrapped in the notion they are all innocent martyrs.
The whole thing is extremely creepy and manipulative.
As is the misleading claim of 'most vulnerable' status that just doesn't get fact checked, again, because badthink.

I don't think your average trans person has a struggle free life, but the Dreadfully Online activists are at best cynically disingenuous in their claims in order to justify their behaviours.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

A question that demands a "solution"!!!
I still remember getting attacked when I warned that current transphobia increasingly resembles Nazi persecution years ago. Yet here we are...

Here we are indeed, and it's coming from the fringe to mainstream pretty quickly. Directly spurred on and encouraged by the likes of Helen Joyce and Rowling.

While I thought the early 2010s was a pretty shitty time for the industry and my personal tastes, the last few years (making some concessions for covid troubles) have been a great time for so many different types of gamers. Nintendo, Sony, MS, and PC all are in a great position with enough differentiating feature sets between them. Even though I feel my tastes have ossified (don't really care for multiplayer aside from fighting games, no interest whatsoever in survival games or twee indie games or moba or gatcha) I'm absolutely thrilled and drowning in stuff - we're living in an era where LIVE A LIVE one of my favorite obscure Japan-only RPGs gets a spectacular HD-2D remake, the niche and obtuse SaGa series is getting tons of love, Fire Emblem which back in the day I'd drool about in Nintendo Power and cry because it was stuck in Japan is now a global phenomenon, Ys has seen its biggest success in the west since the Turbo Duo, there are going to be *3* never-localized Trails games released in 2023, we just got some awesome KOF and Samurai Shodown games and an upcoming SF that is shaping up to be quite interesting. Classic style western RPGs have had a renaissance (still gotta play Disco Elysium), and even genres beaten to death like FPS have surprised with Titanfall 2, DOOM 2016/Eternal, Neon White. Tons of quality remakes of classics both huge (Crash, FF Pixel Remasters, Halo MCC) and obscure (Klonoa, Wild Guns, Pocky n Rocky), collections and compilations (Valis, Mega Man/X/Zero/BN, Castlevania, Contra), there's the Game Pass and PS+ and Switch Online retro downloads, there are the mini consoles (PLEASE give us Snatcher on the Megadrive Mini 2!!!)...

And that all is just stuff made available in the last 5 or 6 years. That doesn't include all of the backlog stuff I've amassed over 30+ years of playing games.

Sure, I'm meh on the FF -> action RPG stuff like PlanetSmasher, but I've accepted about 10-15 years ago that my favorite game series in the 90s isn't for me anymore. Still have some hope that FF16 is a pretty enjoyable hack and slash romp, even if I didn't like 15 and thought 7r was overloaded with filler. People who complain about RPGs "not being like they were" usually just mean "FF isn't the same as the SNES and PS1 days" and need to branch out.

I think my only real 'complaint' with the state of things barring the typical things that everyone else doesn't like (monetization, shitty treatment of workers, half finished shit - but this shit was always there we just either ignored it or didn't realize it) is that I wish there were more new Japanese IP - it feels that every game I'm excited for in the next year or two are from franchises 20-30+ years old.

[Uncle]

I'm glad that as a whole the game industry has gotten to a place of providing a little of everything, old dead genres revived, like the point-n-click adventure partly resurrected by the Broken Age kickstarter and more have come since, or Japan sustaining the grid-based dungeon crawler, or Baldur's-Gate-likes being revived with Wasteland, Pathfinder, Divinity etc.

there was a period in the 360 era when it felt like it was settled science that every game and genre was going to be multiplayer forever, no exceptions, fuck single player campaigns

we've come back to stories and simulations

I'll disagree with this though, because it denies the way everyone interacts with every other genre

if EA comes out with a new Sim City that's a racing game because they determined this is more popular globally than city building, I wouldn't get mad at sim fans for not moving on or feeling betrayed by a bait-and-switch, and they are absolutely justified in embracing the glory of Cities Skylines, which is another great take on what they wanted

if SE makes a new Final Fantasy Tactics in name but it's just a turn-based FFX style game without the classes or chess movement, I'm not yelling at FFT fans for refusing to accept change, and they're justified in enjoying Fire Emblem or Fell Seal or Triangle Strategy instead

Mario RPG fans can be rightfully mad that Nintendo keeps pursuing shitty lite action games without RPG elements, and I'm glad Bug Fables is available as a substitute

Castlevania died and I'm glad Bloodstained was a massive success showing that the formula is still relevant and awesome

if you like 4X games, it's ok to play a whole bunch of them and compare and contrast them while having a great time, there's nothing wrong with you for "refusing to branch out"

[Propagandhim]

what is TC talking about? I don't know that manga or anime. Spoil me if necessary.

edit: oh fuck that lol. I read it the summary.

so is that the author's fantasy? Because why else would he write that fucking shit.

Mangaka is Yumi Unita, a woman. Which still makes it baffling in that you do wonder "is....this what she's into?"

Either that or that's exactly what her Japanese audience wanted.

This manga is infamous here overseas, but what about in the domestic market? I haven't informed myself on what the Japanese reception was like to that ending.

These people have to fight constantly just to exist even when they don't have the spoons and here you are, rather than shutting up and listening so you can do better, dismissing their concerns while telling them to put themselves directly in danger from fascism. Like, I get that your only desire in life is to see people different from you brutally raped and butchered for your enjoyment but at some point you have to realize that they aren't asking for much so it's not a burden for everyone else to uphold their basic human rights by just doing whatever they say without complaint.

Thor looking at a really bad second weekend drop

Too many are misunderstanding/overreacting. That 80% is a Fri-Fri drop, not weekend, and includes the Thurs preview. That's the same Fri-Fri drop as Strange Multiverse (which was 81.1%) and same weekend drop (which was 67%).

It's also better than No Way Home's Fri-Fri drop, which was 84%, and same as that second weekend, 67.5%. Not saying it's holding well, just not the end of world drop some are making it out to be.

 

Strange 2 had a $187 million opening weekend. No Way Home had a $260 million opening weekend and opened around Christmas. Thor opened at $144 million in early July and has no competition this second weekend. And still looking at a 68% drop. That’s about as end of the world as it gets for a Marvel movie.

Taika aint returning for a third Thor movie.

[benjipwns]

The biggest disaster of the modern superhero films that derailed an entire franchise earned $166 million opening weekend and then dropped 69%: Batman v. Superman.

If they're all performing like that (except Eternals lol) then I'm not sure that's "positive" spin.

[ShutUp]

Marvel turning fucking Thor into the punchline of the joke is certainly something. Perfect balance was in Ragnarok/Infinity War. Way beyond that since. Seems audiences are agreeing.

[benjipwns]

It sucks because I thought Ragnarok was easily the best of these since the original slate and one of the better superhero films that's been done. Though lots of people always seemed to be focused on the "wacky" hijinks and humor as somehow what differentiated it even though I didn't think it was really all that wacky or comical but had good structure, pacing, plot, seemed like it actually loved the comic medium, manages all the characters greatly, etc. even as I was disappointed that that they had kneecapped any potential Planet Hulk adventure. I thought much of the humor was tied more to the characters being genre savvy at this point, like yeah, Thor makes jokes about Loki and Hulk when he sees them on Skaar but he's not just quipping for the audience, he's overjoyed that he's not doomed and he has allies (including temporary ones like Loki) that can set the obvious escape plan in motion.

It also sucks that Disney doesn't allow director's cuts because I'd like to imagine Waititi has some two and a half or three hour cut somewhere that isn't as bad. I know the two hour runtime was supposedly his decision but that's also what these studios told me about Justice League while an Academy Award winning masterpiece with all the historic memorable scenes was sitting in a vault.

I imagine it has something to do with being told that fictional videogame characters wearing sexy outfits is literally doing massive psychological damage and that women who disagree should just shit the fuck up you whore bitch!!!

As a fellow white male who doesn't use Hispanic loved ones as a human shield to bulletproof willful ignorance, you should probably listen to the people who are Hispanic and happen find this very offensive. Next time you may even be able to spot the racism on your own!

By this logic, I should also listen to the Hispanics who think this shit is fucking hilarious!

Coming into the thread late has been something.


On the video itself though, whew. Just a puerile mix of confused tropes with a smug 'above all this' energy about it. I don't even get what the intent was, outside of perhaps turning a bad song into something that further courts controversy for the sake of clicks. Feels like a precursor to a cancel culture whine.

Does she not see the     between the video and her comment?

Quite a loud minority like to pretend this film is horrible.

Just wanted to put myself out there as someone who always absolutely loved not only the Bane performance but the voice, which people are now going to pretend was the popular opinion the entire time but it really wasn’t.

Glad history has come around that this movie is terrible. I had so many arguments when it first came out with staunch defenders of it. Most of them now admit it is awful.

Anyone know where I could find reliable reviews of the Nolan Batman movies that aren't made by creeps?

Creeps…?

Don't the DC movies attract contrarian weirdos who believe they're all oppressed for not being as popular as Marvel?

There was one Matrix movie, two Nolan Batman movies, two Aliens movies and two Terminator movies, so I don't understand this thread.

That's the world as I understand it, and I'll fucking cut you if you try to convince me otherwise.

  Plus three Star Wars and one Highlander.

As a fellow white male who doesn't use Hispanic loved ones as a human shield to bulletproof willful ignorance, you should probably listen to the people who are Hispanic and happen find this very offensive. Next time you may even be able to spot the racism on your own!

By this logic, I should also listen to the Hispanics who think this shit is fucking hilarious!

No, he said you should only listen to those who agree with him, where did you get the idea that you can listen to anyone else?

Why are you injecting MCU warring into this thread?

Oh god, lighten up.

As a white male being married to a hispanic woman, what do I know I guess.

Hope it's a perm, Baked Pigeon.

You earned that one.

Fuck you, you racist fuck.

If you don’t get permanently banned after your blatantly racist shitposting in this thread then yikes

There was probably a brief window where they could have educated the guy together like decent human beings and true anti-racists instead of taking the usual route of dialing up for blood & banishment when someone dissents.

And of course no one gets warned for backseat modding. Someone even posted a jpeg framing the original post like it's worth celebrating that no one learned anything today on resetera.com!

I thought Reee said it's only the yts that are racists

The Dark Knight Rises is a fun blockbuster action romp.
Tom Hardy really let himself go as Bane 

It answers the question of what Occupy Wall Street could've been like if it was organized and not a bunch of hippies in soy drum circles.

All of Nolan's Batman movies were 30 minutes too long

[Pissy F Benny]

That could be said of most films released in the last 20 years or so

i don't think nep nep found that thread yet, but most of the userbase still felt much safer lashing out at the YT who didn't see the big deal rather than lashing out at the video itself

I don't see the racism


I don't see the racism because minorities can't be racist. Racism is a systemic abuse of institutional power which minorities don't have.
