Dielan

SkoomaDealer also ignoring concords unlikable 5v5 hero shooter PvP, and the hideous characters, I could forgive most of that for a compelling story.

Iromically the story trailers we got were littered with unfunny Marvel Humor.

Then here comes literal Marvel, dancing on concords grave. It's poetic

Dielan

Is this guy stupid? Am I being trolled?

Dielan

Something fishy going on at indiegogo https://fandompulse.substack.com/p/indiegogo-exposed-refusing-to-pay

Dielan

OK I know it's that pirat guy again but look at this

The marvel chicks on the top look way better than the concord characters, and even look good in their own right. But there's nothing egregious or lewd about their outfits. It is a distinctly western design that somehow pleases everyone

This needs to be studied

HelsEch

Dielan It's already been studied. It's called aesthetics. Marvel as an entity has a long history of promoting aesthetically pleasing designs. Concord is an obvious attempt to subvert aesthetics and what you get is, broadly speaking, unappealing and unattractive. It is trying to be contrarian in its design and is very surprised pikachu face when it doesn't attract or appeal to an audience.

Dielan

Looks like Monster Hunter's only indie competition just shit the bed

SkoomaDealer

This is an unfortunate turn of events.

Dielan

This tweet has a good point in it

I say this, while having Girls Frontline 2 installed on my phone waiting for first launch 😬

SkoomaDealer

Dielan I wish I could bring enough effort to care. But this is a complete non issue. Part of getting attractive characters will involve people making them do sexy things.

Dielan

Suprised this didn't happen sooner than

They better not cancel any xenoblade games over this. I don't care how much of BOTW or TOTK they were responsible for

Dielan

HelsEch I think the metapoint this twitter user is trying to make is that the new marvel game was made by a Chinese developer, which may have had an influence (or lack of influence) on how the characters look. Implying a western studio would have made them all ugly

Dielan

I'm not doing a live thread for the game awards tomorrow but if I see any more "leaks" I'll post here so we can laugh later when it doesn't happen

Here's the first

Context is that one washed up blogger and blizzard cover up guy Jason Scrier thinks there's two big announcements this year at TGA but won't say what so people are speculating

Dielan

Dielan somehow slightly more believable is this HL3 "leak"

Dielan

Looks like Mercante finally sued SmashJT

In the opening statement she referenced Gamergate and unironically cited WIKIPEDIA as a source. You can't make this shit up

Not saying there isn't a case for this suit in particular but if I was a judge I'd stop reading right there. Embarassing

SkoomaDealer

I’m very confused by the statement. Even without the Wiki add on. There’s no statement in the statement. If this somehow goes to trial, she’s going to learn a lot about the side she’s “defending” and how they treat people who aren’t 100% spouting their exact rhetoric.

Dielan

SkoomaDealer Theres more pages I just didn't read them

Victim

Getting sick, but I'll be streaming the game awards most likely

SkoomaDealer

Wildly different tone, Among Us got name dropped by New York Post in this CEO assassination.

https://nypost.com/2024/12/10/us-news/luigi-mangione-played-assassin-video-game-among-us-with-friends/

Dielan

SkoomaDealer 100% we will cover this

Dielan

Journos unhappily reaping what they sow:

SkoomaDealer

Dielan I want to say, I don’t fully blame game journos across the board for what’s happened. Yeah, they’re doing bad reporting, but I think it’s a symptom of the larger media changes. We need more, we need it now, and it need to be interesting has been wrecking many legacy media companies.
