[Anti-Monitor]

Because when you think Mortal Kombat, you think "realistic fighting". The game with magic, monsters, and in which you can stab through a person's face six times without killing them.

Mode edit:
Please do not link to a Gamergate/Comicgate site

Took a quick look around that site and... yeah. Maybe don't link stuff from there.

Why? Can you give me one reason why? Is it against this forum's rules to link this site or what? I found this article while looking for MK11 PAX East news on Google. Was never reading it before. And source is Polygon interview that i also linked. What exactly is the issue here??

User banned (2 weeks): linking to and defending a website associated with a hate movement

The website seems to be full of utterly trash opinions and a political agenda that is for very good reason not well-received here. Are you serious?

I mean it's still not against any rules of the forum right? It's just different opinion on the internet just like you have your own. It's really not that serious.

The first site is a known Gamergate/Comicgate site, feel free from a legitimate site

On the subject of the game:

“Our character lead, Brendan George, has been a breath of fresh air of just introducing new ideas. Our design is just getting more mature and respectful. You’re not going to wear a bikini to a fight. You’re not going to be showing so much skin. I think it’s just what the game is about: You’re going in to fight for your life, and you’re not going to be wearing such scantily clad items."

I don't think you're going to wear high heels to a fight, either, but Skarlet does.  Kotal Kahn is a half-nekkid dude.  And the fatalities are the farthest thing from "mature and respectful" out there.  But hey, cover up them tiddies and it's all good.

Oh goddamnit, I didn't read this

Half the dudes are shirtless, the girls still wear high heels, but now it's mature because the girls have smaller tits and cover them up. And respectful, of course.

This whole thing fucking makes me REE. At least the dudes look good...

They started toning down the designs in MKX (although MKII Kitana and Mileena costumes made it in, lol) and Injustice 2 really toned it down, so this is no surprise.  It's just fucking stupid.  The gore has gotten to the point that it's legit disgusting, but hey 'Murica so that's cool. 

[nachobro]

NRS is just playing it safe like the DOA devs did. I'm sure there will be plenty of custom costume pieces to make everyone happy but they aren't the default premade outfits so that's enough to pacify resetti/polygon types who aren't going to actually touch the game anyway.

It's not just that they cover the women up. They were more covered up in Mortal Kombat X, but their designs still had personality.

Hell, this is might be my favorite Mileena design ever.

The problem is that there's absolutely no originality or personality in their new designs. They are boring, "functional" bodysuits or body armor, making them look completely dull compared to the male characters, who are allowed to have fantastical, out-there designs. I'd certainly prefer if they showed some booyah, but the women should be able to have both realistic, covered up designs and weird, slutty ninja outfits. Just like the guys.

Conservatives are the barbarians at the gates. We are in a time where it is necessary to vote liberal so they don’t get in and wreck everything. This is not the time to be voting on specificities within left leaning parties, now is when we have to keep the conservatives out and work towards a future where their ideology can be eliminated.

It's never "to vote on specificities", so you know...

women need to 👏 sit 👏 down 👏 and 👏 listen 👏 to what the men in the "why some women are prudes" thread on era and male art directors at neversoft tell them are acceptable costumes and how much skin it is appropriate to expose.

also, something something femoral arteries.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

All of you still bitching about Jussie and ain't say shit about CPD botching the case.

But wanna talk about fucking agendas. Clowns. 🤡

Tell me more about how they botched the case

e:

There doesnt seem to be any indication that CPD botched the case so I imagine that's why no one is bitching about it

They played a leaky public slander game and muddied the waters. Only to find they didnt have proper evidence to move forward.

They were essentially betting on him to admit guilt. They absolutely botched the case

What evidence do you have to support this conclusion?

The fact they didn't prosecute him, you think just sat on their hands with proper evidence and let him go willingly?

mods, come get your boy or start actually following through on your stop posting conspiracy theory nonsense warnings

Kind of doubtful in this case, but hey, hope to be wrong- they went as far as to cover up even the slightest hint of a female buttock in Injustice 2.

He is fully aware of that, he is just pretending that has nothing to do with this because would not excuse his bitterness.

You keep moving the goal posts. You claimed they didn’t have the evidence to proceed. Can you support that statement?

What evidence am I supposed to show you if you believe the police by default? How am I suppose to have this evidence if I'm not working the case?

It's a discussion board, it's my opinion that they botched the case seeing as police don't fucking hesitate to book a black man for any reason.

But you know that, you're just being pedantic

stop sealioning me bro, I don't need any actual evidence to substantiate a claim, its a discussion board

It seems more and more likely he got off because he is rich and his family are friends with the state attorney that pulled a Trump in “recusing but not really” from the case.

I see where the SA Office is being looked at but clearly the anger and the focus isn't there, it's on Jussie.

We will see how this continues to develop and how attitudes will change.

Why the fuck people should care about what Jussie feels? The fucker wanted the attention and he got it.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Jussie got off because of realpolitik, no more nor less.

I can't even be mad about it because there are dudes rotting in prison while appeal after appeal get rejected for crimes they blatantly didn't do.

I like how people are still using the "think of the real hate crime victims" when it's been proven time and time again that Republicans would never believe them

Hell, even on "progressive" "enlightened" Era when someone makes a topic about a racist moment they went through, Era doesn't believe them.

Just admit that you want the uppity Negro in jail alread

Yeah, people question the accuracy of a narrative where a couple of MAGA hat wearing dudes were loitering in freezing temperatures for almost an hour to slightly rough up a dude who is such An Hero he managed to beat both of them off and not even drop his sandwich doing so.

Like people also question the accuracy of a narrative where a dude has an hour and a half to kill before the library opens, and decides to park right outside a kids daycare centre and eyeball the people going in, and then after nothing happening the sultry latinx almost throws herself at that dude telling him what An Hero he is for being able to withstand being asked why the fuck hes loitering outside a daycare.

Its almost like stories that seem fishy get questioned

[clothedmacuser]

Y'all can't even fucking respond to the claim without internet buzzwords.

Pssst!  Digital Op is referring to "whoutaboutism" "hypocrisy" "logical fallacy" and "evidence"

You could say that about RE in general, though.

[Stro]

RE really is a baffling place.

A video game forum that thinks of themselves as the vanguard of progressiveness and liberalism that nonetheless literally makes the same arguments Jack Thompson made about MK 25 years ago and consistently hopes for Soviet era Russian crackdowns on anyone they disagree with, while anyone that disagrees with whatever their groupthink is at the moment (as it frequently changes, sometimes doing a 180 and everyone acts like that's what they always thought) being called, literally, Russian spies.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Its pretty clear just how full of shit the usual suspects are on era, when they were dogging that covington kid - who literally did nothing illegal - for fucking weeks

Someone should probably do some kind of study on RE before RE is credited with either some suicide pact or mass shooting event. I really don't think it would take much for a majority of them to go in either direction with very little pushing.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I mean, yeah, going to an anti-abortion rally as a dude who cant even legally have sex yet seems like a dick move to me, but I don't think that kid who became "the new face of evil" was looking for media attention in the first place, or was coasting on the attention he did get outside of a PR damage control interview.
Like... you don't see him as a pundit on fox news or any shit. Doesn't seem like he was looking to be a household name, unlike Smollett and Trump.

[Propagandhim]

Do you know how many people of color get booked by the police for doing nothing illegal?  For weeks?  Weeks of booking?  At this point, I'm glad that kid was mistakenly put through the ringer to expose how upset white people get over what black people have been dealing with for centuries.

In Bizarro world, theres a japanese PR guy talking about core values of their fighting games not being about glamorising gratuitous violence and trying to avoid a CERO Z rating, while someone leaks a western stream of a couple of fat neckbeards drooling over new fatalities and the newly added Septicemia combo bonus feature for compound frctures

Oooh, a The Last Night thread. I wonder how it’ll go...

https://www.resetera.com/threads/what-happened-to-the-last-night-by-odd-tales.108322/

No one wants to touch it anymore (rightfully so) because the guy making it turned out to be a huge GamerGater and said he envisioned the world of his game as "a dystopian future where SJWs won" or some bullshit like that.

He's a naive idiot, that's based off everything I've read off his twitter. Nothing worse than someone who *thinks* they're an intellectual.

Just to reiterate: it was a game where in the future feminism 'won' and men were treated as second-class citizens. Created by a shitheel Gamergater.

Yup. Just as expected.

Nothing like latching on to a narrative and never letting go, no matter what the truth really is. Feels good to hate.

Jussie was prepared to testify against two innocent white guys just to save his own skin.  I’m not inclined to feel a fucking iota of sympathy for him or to agree with dropping the charges against him “because too much work” to prosecute him.

i believe the official resetti stance is that violence and sex are 100% separate and not comparable at all in any way in the slightest. also no one would ever argue that in good faith anyway.

Resetera: Seeing a fatality in MK never caused anyone to really tear the skin off of someone else’s face.

I feel sorry for the inmates on Resetera. They have no credibility. No industry insiders. No relevance to anyone or anything connected to the gaming industry. If it wasn't for the internet most of them would be hanging around subways ranting about space Jews controlling the moon.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I mentioned this earlier, but I'll say it again:

1) Even if you're interested in this game's scenario as a "what if," Tim Soret being a GamerGater, thinking that feminism is not egalitarian, and the game's intrinsic anti-feminist theme will not allow this game to be a worthwhile exploration into "what if." They aren't not well-versed in what they're attempting to critique.

2) Creating media that portrays serious issues improperly will perpetuate flawed ideas (i.e. women being treated as human can and/or will lead to a dystopic society), and those ideas can and will hurt people (and already are in this in this instance). That's "what's being lost" here with a video game that helps spread GamerGate misogynistic beliefs. These ideas spread—it doesn't just affect "morons" like you say. People of all ages can be impressionable, and particularly kids. There is a risk to games like this releasing and able to be played without proper framing which the game itself surely will not provide.

This... is actual bollocks, tbh.
