Marvel books weren't made with the ambition of being deep, they were made to entertain. Now if a game or a comic or a manga is made with the ambition and intent of exploring heavy topics seriously, then i don't see why it shouldn't be considered on the same of level of Dostoevsky as far as depth is concerned

undertale and deltarune difficulty always felt weird to me. i feel like SOUL moves too slowly, and attacks that come from multiple sides are hard to dodge unless you learn the patterns, so i always end up taking hits. you have enough health to tank damage usually, so these issues aren't really apparent until you fight the secret bosses (where the difficulty jumps from 4 to 10).

>they could have a Days-like side game but at a console scale.

Instead they insisted on wasting time, money and resources on Mobile Shit, only to cancel it. I seriously miss the 2000s where many game franchises got smaller games on the side while waiting for huge console releases. This is why many franchises tend to feel stagnant these days because there’s no dedicated handheld market since the Switch and Steam Deck fill those out. Or I guess you can say Game Development got more expensive. Sorry for the rant.

>>729107080
Kingdom hearts is really fucking weird with it. Sora is an actual irl Japanese name, but then you have cutscenes use text in English like Xemnas naming ROXAS which implies they write their names in English. Then when you factor in things like Japanese Final Mix versions having English VAs it comes off as English being the canon.
However ultimately Sora's meant to be a Japanese self-insert and as graphics are getting more realistic they're making him more Asian. I'm not sure if the Neku line is like that in Japanese but if it is then there's some weird inconsistency with exactly what they want Sora to be that won't really be answered because outside preestablished Disney characters it won't outright say he's Asian.
>>
I just wanna know why Noruma can't let Sora stay happy, the man just wants to chill with his waifu and go on adventures with his bros, he gave everybody a happy ending because their jobber asses couldn't do it without him and yet he's the one who gets fucked over in the end and while poetic that Kairi and Riku are the only ones who make leigitmate headway after a fucking year in finding him, It's kinda pathatic that Donald, Goofy, Mickey, Aqua,Terra, Ventus, Roxas, Namine, Xion and the twilight kids made zero fucking progress, in fact Team BBS may very well have gotten themselves into some trouble because those crazy fuckers jumped right back into the realm of darkness, I don't give a fuck that they have each other and their armor this time, those 3 are the biggest jobbers of the group can we really trust they're alright after being gone for a fucking year?

Why did they make Henry gay? Why? You legitimately were more likely to see an African in central Europe at the time than gay people.

Henry is:
>Bohemian
>From Silver Skalice
>Is the illegitimate son of the blacksmith Martin, who himself was part of the blacksmithing guild in Kutna Hora before moving away for a quieter life
>Had a girlfriend named Bianca who died during the raid
>A supporter of Wenceslaus, who he perceives to be the rightful king
>A young man with a wanderlust, more interested in playing with swords and weapons than hitting the books or perfecting his craft
So all of this was his original character in the first game. The real counter-argument is to point out that because Henry is a young man, his objectives in life and preferences aren't set in stone, and he can come to change his mind on various things. One of the recurring themes is the need to grapple with the PTSD he has from when his village was razed, and his own psyche, in the form of his father, implores him to consider letting go and embracing forgiveness, for his own sake. He's a young man with many a talent, and he's got a lot of life to live. By the end of the second game, he's already in his mid-to-late 20s, so it's almost like the character for whom you're making decisions ultimately becomes the person you want him to be.

The same isn't true for characters like Bruce Wayne/Batman, Solid Snake, or even Geralt of Rivia. They're more solidified and set in stone because they're closer to actualization than Henry is. The thing about writing is that you can do whatever you want with your characters; it's just that people don't like to accept discrepancies because they identify with some aspect of the character, and if it gets changed, they're sort of made unrecognizable.

It'd be like if you took Taylor Swift, who is known for making cheesy romance pop songs, and made her into an edgy Goth/emo girl who is the lead singer of some Norwegian metal band. It could be done but her fans would protest. Same with fictional characters.

Pop culture/media will never represent right-wing views, because those views are destructive. If you want media that better represents those views, you need a Charlie Kirk, a Tim Pool, a Ben Shapiro, a PragerU, etc. so that's how those views get representation.
>b-but it's not in movies, books and games!
Yeah it is, it's just not popular. The only one that I can think of is Ethnic Cleansing, a shitty first person shooter made by white supremacists for the express purpose of indoctrinating their youth. Fascism/White Supremacy/Racism/etc. aren't profitable and they never will be. It's about money more than it's about adhering to any one ideology.

Can confirm this anon hits it on the head. Guy I knew trooned out and his reason was his crush turning out to be a slut. He got super depressed and lonely (granted a lot of it was self inflicted as he would turn down opportunities to hang with people and maybe get a gf a lot). In college he tried to hook up with a bpd lesbian as she was the only girl who would humor him and when he tried to cross the line and got shut down hard it mindfucked him into a suicidal depression.

I would feel bad for him if so much of this stuff wasn't totally avoidable.

machine learning and neural networks have also been in use since the early 1900s (yes actually). More importantly once computers started becoming household objects, machine learning really took off. Computer Vision has been studied pretty intensely the past 20 years straight and I don't think China will ever get rid of its surveillance cameras any time soon.
neural networks are sticking around forever for sure, they're too broadly useful to go away. Generative AI on the other hand will probably wane in hype over the next fews years, but never be gone forever

I always see people calling fighting games dead, especially when they are referring to other skill based 1v1 games like arena shooters or RTS. But here is the thing, fighting games are more alive than they have ever been. You need to remember that fighting games are also on console, and most modern fighting games have crossplay enabled. Take the steam daily peak player count and triple it, that is basically the true daily peak of available players. I'd say there are probably anywhere from 100,000 to 200,000 unique players daily when you take into account all modes. Compared to arena shooters, fighting games are incredibly thriving. We have active local scenes, competitive scenes, and online scenes. The biggest name in arena shooters only gets a peak of 400 players daily. RTS games may be a bit more popular than fighting games when it comes to player count, but our competitive and local scenes are actually alive and thriving. When you compare fighting games to other popular games, you have to remember it is a 1v1 game. A better metric to compare it to other games is to take the number of possible matches that could be happening at a time.

For example, in order to fill an ARC Raiders lobby you need 21 players. Lets take the peak and divide it by the amount of players you need to have a match.

>445,973/21 = 21237

Now lets do the same for Street Fighter 6

>37,646/2 = 18823

Note, these are only Steam numbers, the amount of playable matches at peak hours is actually much greater. Outside of the titans, the "liveliness" of SF6 is comparable to most popular multiplayer games.

Sorry for the bad grammar, I'm ESL.

What are you talking about?
Half the people I see in Battle Hub have max level Avatars with all the stat boosters. That's like 80 hours of World Tour at minimum.

And that's just your recurring player.
Most casuals might buy the game, play a bit of fighting ground, play a bit of battle hub, spend a lot of time in World Tour and then never touch the game again, and that's fine. That's no different than me buying Yakuza 94 and putting it down after I beat it.

The fact that you think because hardcore FG players aren't playing it as much as they're grinding ranked ladder against Gorilla Ryu's that NO ONE plays it only proves the other posters point that hardcore sweaties in internet forums have a distorted perception of what makes these games successful.
WT/BH/FG all feed into eachother in helping SF6 maintain and grow It's player base. Someone might come for WT or FG but stay because of the online chat hub of BH socialization. Someone might only be interested in one of the three modes.

Casting a wider net is pertinent for a game's success. The sweats don't give a fuck about your game and will only play it if the casuals play it -- see City of the Wolves.

>Half the people I see in Battle Hub
Wow that's a solid 10 people.

Granblue Versus had a whole ass story RPG mode that did so little they cut all the RPG features in Rising and just dumped the story and everyone ignores both.

I like ff12 :)
