Morrigan is not a fan of Metaphor-

I didn't finish it yet because this demo is interminable but I probably won't even bother. I have almost nothing kind to say about this game. Everything about it is either mediocre (combat) or completely terrible (mostly everything else).

I have rarely seen pacing so utterly glacial. The game interrupts you every 2 steps with a cut scene or other, it takes forever before you can actually sit down and play, one of the things I absolutely despise about many games from the PS360 generation.

And the writing isn't even good. It's amateurishly written with the info dumps and stilted dialogue, a generic collection of clichés and hamfisted metaphors (heh) in a "I'm 12 and this is deep" manner.

Combat is relatively boring and rote, absolutely nothing special there. I could stomach weak and corny writing if combat, dungeon or gameplay keeps me engaged, but it really didn't. Level design is as generic as it gets (wow, an abandoned linear mine, with some minor side alcoves for loot! truly engrossing).

Absolutely nothing in that demo was compelling whatsoever. I'll give it half a credit for not having a gratuitously sexualized woman in there, I suppose.

She's right about the pacing but endless dialogue is a known thing in Persona.

Muslims and trans identified males get preference on the site. Jews are lowest on the totem pole next to east Asians.

Such a dumb fucking forum run by terminally online communists.

benji, how come no one ever gets banned from here? (aside from bots, you robophobe.) what sort of sloppy ship are you running? Where's your utter contempt for the proles like progressive forum resetera? 

I deliberately bypassed both of your word filters to post transphobia and the gamer word (HARD R like a true capital G Gamer ) and you couldn't even give me a courtesy 3 day ban for dismissing concerns. No wonder my headmates no longer feel safe posting here.

This is my issue basically: they haven't made amends, they have simply erased us from the existence within the universe of their game just so that they don't have to deal with us. They aren't actually saying "Yeah gay/trans/etc people are alright" we're just not there.

From my perspective, they are just as phobic, they just have now smartened up. And I will think that until they prove otherwise.

 Terminally online men thinking they are women and treating it as a fetish, with some pederasty for some users (like Melody).

It is not the staff's job to emotionally labor and moderate the forum. Continued demands like this will put staff in danger and require them to hold sessions until a quorum of three (or more) staff members can attend to sign off on actioning of users. Sessions that would require food for all members, alters and headmates. Because we live in a capitalist hellworld this would all require money, which as marginalized people the staff cannot acquire except through mutual aid.

Any more bad faith trolling like this and staff will be forced to passively aggressively whine about how you are not liking staff posts significantly more than other members posts. Which frankly would be incredibly exhausting in the middle of countless genocides.

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to put staff in danger here and say you're wrong.
I'm a huge staff ass kisser. You are my most liked poster by a huge margin. My shitposts are blatant ripoffs of yours. Guess that's the thanks I get for being an ally.

I love you benji (no diddy) but you don't love me back.

This is incredibly pathetic but one thing that stood out to me was the idea that the average women in the western world has D cup breasts. Like not even in porn do the models have D cup breasts on average according to research conduced in 2013/2014 the average cup size for a pornstar in America was B cup

But of course facts and observable reality doesn't matter to these people, all that matters is feelings and hate. (and yeah having angry joe and resetera lumped together made me laugh too)

If we're going to start demanding realistic portrayals in our videogames, "the average woman" also doesn't have a cock.

But for reasons I can't know, my grandmother didn't keep the papers proving that the courts did that...

Okay, but the court did. This was 2010, not 1810.

Should be very easy to get the records if it actually did get settled back then. Clearly it didn't since they are going to court again.

User Banned (1 Month): Trolling and inflammatory generalizations against Japanese people over multiple posts.

They still won't ban terrorist sympathizers in that thread casting doubt about it will they?

Chief Malik just tried to debunk the story by posting an article from a hardcore pro-russian conspiracy website and only got threadbanned

The fact this kind of post is allowed and even encouraged by moderators shows how far they’ve fallen into depravity. Video game forum folks

Finally:

User banned (1 month): inflammatory rhetoric over a series of posts

One month seems pretty light.

Inflammatory rhetoric? 


Why not call it what it is? 

Antisemitism. There I said it. Reeesetera moderators seem afraid to say the word.

Hello Fellow ERA users is it time to give Konami its flowers? they have had some solid releases like Silent hill 2 remake and MGS 3 remake is shaping up to look like a banger.

Silent Hill 2 remake - Open Critic : 88
Castlevania Advance Collection - Open Critic : 83
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection : Open Critic : 81
Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Open Critic: 73
Contra: Operation Galuga : Opencritic 72

Konami didn't work on SH2 remake tho 
Konami is back because collections?

Straight up retards man

[Potato]

i feel like you could drastically improve reset by banning like 10, maybe 20 members total. the problem is those 10-20 are 1.) the most prolific posters and b.) the people the mods will never touch.

iii.) the mods themselves

Yeah them pretending Persona is problematic because there are two guys making a pass at Ryuji... Jesus christ. 

And they call Hashino a phobic asshole for that.

this has always been the solution to their complaints, you can't handle a trans person wrong if there just aren't any in the game

the second you put a trans person in your game you invite an absolute circus where some group WILL find something wrong with it

"nothing about them screams trans to me, they don't struggle at all, it's like trans-ness with the edge sanded off"

Also, make amends for what? Who the fuck do you think you are?
