    They just uploaded footage from Bethesda's E3 Conference and posted it as their own.

     

    How Unoriginal! Bethesda should strike this video!

  2. Edgy does not mean bad.

     

    That’s a fallacy a lot of people seem to fall for.

      Every time we discuss a word we need to make certain we are on the same page, for "edgy" most people mean something that is trying to be dark but fails miserably. 

      I think a bunch of people just label everything dark as "edgy", and I think the problem lies here. Last point, I think it can be a bit subjective but trying to understand what the story is going for can help.

      I’ll be frank, I actually think that Persona 3 fits “Edgy” almost perfectly.

       

       

       

      That doesn’t stop it from being one of the greatest games ever made, and better than its less edgy successors..

       

       

      A story can be dark, but not edgy. When it doesn’t directly shove dark things in your face.

       

      Edgy usually means that the story in question is trying to be dark. Like Persona 3.

      I don't know Persona 3 but I saw the cutscene with the Persona awekening.

       

      I see what you mean by "edgy" now, if a show/videogame is going for this kind of appeal and it succeeds despite(BECAUSE) it's over the top then it's a good kind of edgy, when it fails to do so and has a "trashy" aura to it I'd say it's the kind of edgy most people think of when they use the word negatively.

       

      I'm sorry I don't have valid example, maybe I'll come up with one later.

       

       

  3. So, why do people on the internet feel the need to make lewd art of characters in Anime and Video Games?

     

     

    Is it really that important over trying to be the computer Leonardo Da Vinci?

      My Childhood...

       

      Well, it’s gone now. I can’t say it’s been ruined.

  4. I shudder to think what would have happened to Phoenix Wright if Manfred Von Karma ever escaped Prison.

     

    Gregory gave him a penalty, and he still won the trial. But he was so enraged that he ended up murdering Gregory.

     

    Phoenix had him lose a trial and convicted him for murder on the same day.

     

    Luckily, He's dead. Wright can probably rest easy.

  5.  

    The best PlayStation 2 game ever made.

    The second greatest PlayStation 2 game ever made.

  7. Stop! You violated the Law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.

  8. If Oblivion is released for the Nintendo Switch, I’ll take back anything bad I said about Bethesda...

     

     

     

    Until they screw up again.

  9. If you think about it, the Persona franchise is actually more Weaboo than Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

     

     

    At least Xenoblade Chronicles 2 doesn’t mix Japanese Honorifics in the English dub.

  10. “Cigarettes are good for the environment because they kill people.” - someone, somewhere.

  11. I wonder how going back in time, when I'm the age of a preschooler and just about to enter preschool, but I have the intelligence and reasoning skills of my current, somewhat more mature self be like.

     

    I'd outsmart everyone in the class by a long shot. I'd also probably disturb the teacher with my somewhat more advanced philosophy skills.

     

    School was always boring, so no issues there. I wouldn't be bored to death because I'm just better than everyone else at academics.

     

    And my parents would be so proud of their little prodigy, that maybe they'd let me buy as many video games as I want. At that time, The Playstation 2 and Gamecube would be out, and I'd have a wide library to choose from.

      As someone who was top of the class, I reassure you that you would still be bored to death even if you're good at the subjects.

       

      also I doubt if preschool teachers are going to engage in philosophical debates with preschoolers, and besides they're obligated to shut you down if you ever try to talk back to prevent children from getting rebellious

       

      If you could go back in time like that, then really, just enjoy reliving your youth again. Try avoiding the great mistakes you did before, and get yourself a childhood with less regrets than before.

      I mean, I’m already bored regardless of how difficult my academics are. It really makes no difference. That’s what I meant.

  12. The next Xenoblade game should remove Jiggle physics entirely.

     

    It’s more of a problem in 2, but I had Sharla were the diver outfit for a period of time because it was a superior combat option for some reason. It was... uncomfortable. And the Jiggle Physics made it worse. As soon as I got something better, I made Sharla equip it.

     

  13. Maybe Dunban should be Shulk's echo fighter.

     

    He uses the Monado, but he only has three arts. And he damages himself everytime he uses it. Like Pichu.

  14. Real life Law is more likely to find a real culprit than Ace Attorney law.

     

     

    But man is it significantly more boring.

     

    If Ace Attorney stuck to realism, then its gameplay would probably have been boring, and its narrative wouldn't have worked as well as it did.

      Grossberg's hemorrhoids definitely wouldn't be doing the Harlem Shake irl

  15. Some people say that: Why can’t we romance Melly? Why only Venam Snake? I ask the opposite: Can we get a Persona game with a social link that involves a girl who doesn’t fall heads over heels in love with the main character? Also, Black Godot is in this game. What a surprise. When’s Phoenix Wright coming?
  16. I actually don’t think Persona 3 The Answer was really bad, honestly. I don’t feel like any characters were ruined. Just going through an emotional time, with Minato dying and all.

     

    Junpei’s character development actually came to a head here. He’s actually the voice of reason among the group.

      I kind of do hate having to beat up the dog and the eleven year old.

       

      But both Koromaru and Ken had steadfast resolves, and I respect them for it.

  17. While the original Gods Not Dead was offensive and pandering, and as a result just painful to watch...

     

    God’s not dead 2 is just woefully stupid. It has its entertaining moments, so it’s slightly less bad. Still pandering to Christians, but at least the Muslim stereotype was removed.

  18. It's pretty much impossible for me to play Pokemon Rejuvenation and not make Xenoblade comparisons.

     

     

    So from now on, as I announced in the Discord server, I'm referring to Melia as "Melly".

  19. Current Society prioritizes messages and representation over good storytelling. 

     

    It’s one of the reasons a lot of movies today turn out bad and still get critical success.

     

    I hate it. I want a story that makes me feel, or think. If you want messages, then fine. But putting Messages over Story is guaranteed to give you a preachy, boring Movie or Book. 

     

    And it’s made its way into our Video games. A game can still sustain itself with good gameplay, but story is still part of the package. Prioritizing Messages over Story will make the story suck, and weaken the overall package.

      I know what you mean. I don't think messages + representation and good story telling are mutually exclusive, but for whatever reason good storytellers tend to be those who don't care for representation... as though they couldn't create stories without their characters looking a certain way 🤔

  20. Of all the Metal Gear games, why was Metal Gear Solid 3 chosen to be on the Nintendo 3DS?

     

    Is it because it was the most popular?

  21. You know when you come across an Anime that isn't technically good, but you end up enjoying yourself anyway?

     

     

    That's what "Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon" is to me. Its really average, especially in comparison to its light novel. But I still enjoy it, as stupid as it is.

      It's the most 6/10 Anime I ever watched.

       

      But My actual Score is a "More Competent than Akame ga Kill and Sword Art Online" out of 10. At least the writing and script is decent.

       

      I'm also glad it isn't an Isekai. As a result, Bell does feel more like a natural part of his surroundings than an Isekai protagonist.

  22. Been a while since I checked this forum. No V5, but Caz changed his profile pic. That means he's alive.
