Re: Cyberpunk 2077's Edgerunners Anime Actually Looks Awesome in Teaser Trailer

Shame articles keep forgetting to mention Gurren Lagan when studio Trigger's name pops up. It's an amazing anime. Glad u guys did. Looking forward to this though, is it feature length or a series? I'm hoping series would really like to see night city explored. I spent most of my playthrough murdering everyone that was murderable as revenge for the bugs.

@sjbsixpack No not really as I grew up playing resident evil, silent hill etc. Once I started playing survival horror games those feelings disappeared when watching films or shows. I'm usually just annoyed by how useless they are.

@AdamNovice I get what you mean, but they never get it right when they divert from the source material even with the same leads and when they try to keep everything the same it falls flat because the main attraction of games is that the players actions/ involvement influence or move the story along something which live action adaptations will never come close to. Watching Joel hiding behind a desk as a clicker approaches will have less of an effect on me than when I had a controller in my hand under the same conditions. TLOU2 turned unknown side characters from part 1 into mains. They could easily do a show based on the fireflies trying to meet up with Joel and Ellie. We all know what happens in Joel's story so I would really enjoy watching things from the firefly's perspective or even what Joel's brother had to go through would make for an interesting story.

Most of the games these shows are based off are already well written and immersive there will mostly be complaints about the adaptations if its the main characters from the games. Why is it so difficult to use new characters and keep the lore and setting? LOU is pretty much walking dead. No need to ruin it by attempting to retell the Joel and Ellie story it will never be as good as the game. These directors will always try to make it their "own" by diverting from the source material to "create a unique experience". We have seen this over and over again and they mostly fail.

@OrtadragoonX is apex predatory? It's all just cosmetic. Most of the battle pass skins are hideous but the special events ones tend to be the best u can save up your crystals to buy those when they come around. I think destiny and warframe are more predatory as you have to pay for characters and weapons. Not many people have the Hema weapon still and that's been out for years.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 420

DNF Duel, the first few matches were brutal as no training mode or command list and the buttons are pretty different from other fighting games, its like a cross between guilty gear strive and smash bros once I figured that out I got sweet sweet revenge on the guy who beat me five games in a row with a nice 28-11 final score. My aching thumbs are very satisfied.

Re: Talking Point: What PS1, PS2, and PSP Games Do You Want on PS Plus Premium?

ouch for adding re3 to your list. Guess you didn't care much for the remake. I'd like to see parasite eve on there capcom vs snk 2, marvel vs capcom 2, zone of enders 2nd runner, god hand, soul calibur 2&3, Onimusha 2&3. So many more but these will be some of the first I play. Shame capcom or sony haven't bought sega then we might have a chance to enjoy powerstone 2 again.

Re: Horizon Forbidden West Reaction GIFs Are Just the Best

@Richnj That arbitrary standard of beauty is the standard all around though. From your instas to tictocks, pintrests and youtubes to their counterparts the world over, only difference is the perception that women are in control of the content. All social media is showing is how to be your "most attractive self" Any intelligent person knows these are all fake but its seen as okay as its a business. Hot girls in games were attacked because it was the stigma of nerdy guys who would never get a date who designed them and to society that was unacceptable. The majority of devs at the time where dudes who were ostracized and bullied so of course they were a group that would cave under pressure. Unfortunately that nonsense stuck so now even though your thinking is on some level correct, to think negatively of someone who wants their protagonist in a game they paid for to be attractive is also a problem that needs to be addressed. The expectation of "real" women is also something that needs addressing, I think you should say western or westernised women cause most women live in the rest of the world and i've heard some different opinions from women in my time. Quick question, if every man in the US and UK decided they did not want to be in the army anymore do you believe women would step up and say "yea, I'll fill the gap and defend my country" or the general response will be "stop being a p***y and get back to work"? Willingness to be on the frontline and dying in some war is an unrealistic expectation of men but no one says anything cause society expects men to just be that guy. Videogames offer us an opportunity to test social constructs and I feel we should be more explorative and less dismissive regardless of the stance.
