Fr. Calling FF7R a "remake" of FF7 with its significant story changes and shift from perfect turn-based combat to the most mind-numbing half-measure "action RPG" combat is like saying you're going to remake Tetris but now it's a first-person shooter
People:
Bloodhounds are renowned for their sense of smell due to intentional selective-breeding.
Greyhounds are renowned for their incredible speed and agility due to intentional selective-breeding.
Border Collies are renowned as the premium choice of herding dog due to intentional selective-breeding.
The exact same people:
Intentional selective-breeding has ZERO impact on pitbulls!!!
Sure, dude.
Edit: typo
I mean yeah they already said that were shitbull owners
All good; I wasn't trying to be offensive in my reply and was sincere in calling it poignant. Sometimes I get worked up and make tangents that feel vaguely related too. We're cool if you're cool ✌
What a wonderful and poignant aside that adds absolutely nothing to the discussion at hand.
I'm just curious, what exactly would you prefer to see here? I don't think this community is specific controversies, but I do think it is, and rightly so, mostly focused on gaming discussion rather than just games. And contentious topics are simply famously those which cause and often merit the most discussion.
Would you prefer instead if all of the posts were simply "How Great Is God of War?" followed by a chain of comments saying nothing but agreement?
Just like truth in advertising laws exist, some restrictions are rightly placed on free speech in the interest of consumer protection. Imo this case clearly should fall under similar consideration.
Sincere thank you for providing what I was referencing 👍
A general NDA is reasonable, sure, but allowing only comments which glaze the game but not those which criticize it is not. I genuinely cannot even fathom how you think the contrary; I don't mean that in offensive, so if you can articulate why you believe that way I would like to try and understand.
Because they want the benefits of advertising with the power of word-of-mouth, all at the expense of free.
That they think they can get away with it is bananas to me.
YouTuber MovieBob absolutely nailed it when he said in his recent review of the new stupid Seinfeld movie that at this point going "anti-woke" is just a marketing move for older washed up comedians. Most of them probably don't even give a shit but it's vastly easier to pander to the crowd so desperate for any validation of their hateful rhetoric than it is to write new insightful jokes that resonate with a culture you're quickly aging out of.
Of course none of this is to defend Seinfeld; if anything being a manipulative conman willing to pander to the worst appetites in America is arguably even worse than genuinely believing the bullshit in the first place.
