What if I bought The Bire off CD keys? 

You guys absolutely fucked up the marketing of this forum. Where were the ads? Honestly, before its release, I was like “What’s The Bire? I know The Bore, but I have no idea about a Bire”.

Thank fuck. Benji's dick pics all look like a withered asparagus stalk.


Shut it down.

Staff are currently investigating transitioning the forum to F2P with $2000 monthly battle passes. Please understand.

Isn’t this already the relaunch of the “woke“ thebore.com? 😜

It'd be funny if they butt heads over this 

Clickity knows it's not wise to get into a spat with the big bad Kyuuji. Can't win that one.

Maybe we should just stop sharing Midori's tweets, even if they have real information in them. The guy is obsessed with engagement and the only way to make him learn is to stop feeding him attention.

[kaleidoscopium]

You'd be surprised how much negative attention around player count can affect a game. Literally every single article about the game around its launch was "cOnCoRd HaS oNLy 5 pLaYErS oN sTeAM!", and when a game is getting non-stop beating like that from every angle, it's going to put off potential players. It didn't help that the "woke" nonsense was being screeched about by the usual gamergate-type chuds from the moment of its reveal either.

It absolutely wouldn't have sold well (The price tag in a F2P environment and timing were the real death nails), but it might not have been AS MUCH of an unmitigated disaster without all the steam player count BS.

Some real “there is no war in ba sing se” energy here. Can’t talk about poor player numbers in a multiplayer only game or it’ll embolden the chuds and kill the game

God, do they even think for themselves.

BTW, both those games look good.

I wonder what excuses they’ll come up with if it goes ftp and flops again

[kaleidoscopium]

Love how it’s a handful of users, planetsmasher, neoxon, etc, saying how even if it’s legitimate info we shouldn’t “reward” him by reading it, as if the board has any noticeable impact on views. And majority of people talking around them actively via ignore function or passively about how the games look pretty good. 

Making block lists public on that site for one day would be great

Need a list of banned sources too, remember Tom Warren got banned on era for basically calling them stupid, jez corden has been on LSM many times which is the evil jk Rowling equivalent of podcasts, midori is guilty of pretending to be Asian to leak info from Asian games. Why are all the leakers evil chuds

Interesting read overall. Sony wants to more viable IPs like Nintendo has but they are completely failing at it.

If I was Sony I would buy the Crash / Spyro rights back from Activision/Microsoft who already cancelled Crash 5. Then they have Crash / Spyro / Astro Bot as the platformer / action adventure and animated TV show/movie franchises. Next, bring back Wipeout, Resistance (singleplayer FPS but make it more Half Life like), Killzone, Gravity Rush a bunch of arcade racers and more. Oh and drop the price of PS5 to $300 otherwise this is all a wasted effort anyway. 

They should also stop messing around and either drop everything on PS5/PC or go PS5 exclusive again. Right now I'm holding off buying a PS5 for Astro Bot because it might land on PC but by the time is does hype for the game will be far less. Same thing happened with Stellar Blade, would've been a day 1 PC purchase when it came out, if it launches next year I'll probably wait for a sale.

[D3RANG3D]

Yeah they are smoking some serious hashish they had a good stable of mascots that were at least to some degree KuSony mascots/IP's, Spyro, Crash, Jersey Devil, Croc, Ape Escape, Alundra, Wild Arms, etc the missing thing is they shit binned the Japanese devs/swagger in favor of chasing after the western kusoge market.

Why do they keep trying to find the fault with everything but the game itself. Even the free open beta had dismal player numbers

Sony has everything they need to fix their brand. They can't outwoke Microsoft and their gay logos and Xbox retard controllers anyway, so why bother. Just go in the opposite direction and make PlayStation Kawaii again.

If Asian impersonation is banned, then the majority of prominent members must be banned for impersonating women.

All within the last few hours:

Maybe we should just stop sharing Midori's tweets, even if they have real information in them. The guy is obsessed with engagement and the only way to make him learn is to stop feeding him attention.

In case we forget, this is the guy who created a racist caricature of a fake Japanese woman that he posed as for over a year in order to get attention for his fake leaks.

He does not deserve to be treated as a legitimate information source.

"Midori corroborated it" basically means "this actually isn't happening"

It's insane. How the fuck have people not learned that that idiot doesn't actually know fucking anything and will chime in on every single rumor out of a desperate need for engagement?

He supports any rumor that will get attention for his Twitter account. This is what he does.

What people need to understand is that Midori's whole strategy every time they've been a "leaker" has been to find some legitimate information and disseminate it (every time he's done this, it's been genuine Sega/Atlus stuff) and then immediately boomerang into weighing in on and manufacturing fake leaks from every company possible from Square Enix to Nintendo to Sony because people are so thirsty that leaks about those companies get shared around with absolutely no attempt at fact-checking.

It's basically "get a 'track record' so my Twitter gets attention, then immediately weaponize that attention for engagement farming". It's an addiction.

Someone is upset that they weren’t taken seriously when they pretended to be a Japanese schoolgirl

Ree had a fucking meltdown when people were celebrating Ikumi Nakamura for being a cute and attractive japanese female game dev with charisma and talent.

It don't matter if it's a real japanese woman or a man pretending to be one behind the screen. PebbleSmasher just wants to bitch about something because he's a miserable pile of despair.

They all are at this point. Their mentality is so stretched all over the internet its nuts. Thankfully, the real world isn't like that.

No. Only citizens should be able to own a property and house here.

This is completely batshit and quite sinister. So someone who moves to a country working as a Dr after a recruitment drive by the host country, stays in the country permanently, and doesn't apply for citizenship for whatever reason,should never be able to own property? That's nuts. There is countless variations on that example.

All those undocumented doctors trying to buy houses. 

Let's just pull the wildest scenario out my ass and act like this is the norm.

Ikumi Nakamura? Nah, nothing seems to come up by that.

Also ew, live childbirth 🤮

If Dick Cheney can stomach voting for Kamala Harris, that's about the strongest possible anti-endorsement I've ever heard. "Hey, it turns out Adolf Hitler and Henry Kissinger have sent along messages from behind the grave that they don't think Harris is too bad!" The sort of person you should never want on your side, and if you end up standing on the same side as them, you need to look long and hard at why they're standing there and consider your own positioning.

Well done Dubs. You let Nep gut the politicos and this is the result.

Trump loves and endorses fast food. I look forward to Resetera not eating fast food. Because you don't want to be on the same side as that person, right?



A wise man once said...

"I'm going to do this. I'm going to do that."

You ain't going to do a goddamn thing but I tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to go over there and give them Koreans more of my money. Get the fuck out of my way. It's Miller time.

I think about this scene whenever Nep and company start yapping about shit.

did they? I feel like they deified Ikumi Nakamura there. To the point that if you ask “uh…what has she even done???” you catch a dogpile and possible ban.

But seriously I have zero idea what she has done to merit the status she currently has.

Yes, DavidCroquet is correct.

These creepy motherfuckers actually made a thread when Ikumi had a baby:

https://www.resetera.com/threads/ikumi-nakamura-formerly-tango-gameworks-gives-birth.244030/

I don't recall any other game developer ever having a thread made about them just because they had a kid.

But because she is female, did something cute once and, most importantly, is Japanese, it's ok to objectify her and get a hall pass.

Edit: this post is close enough to the top of the page, so in keeping with the theme of my comment, here's a GIF of a random Japanese girl being kawaii ^_^ (◠﹏◠✿)

My mum once bought me a Marilyn Manson t shirt. I was absolutely horrified. I appreciated the effort but it meant I had to wear that ridiculous thing to please her.

Edmond Dantès

Always preferred Sophocles over Euripides, but this is fascinating nonetheless.

I much prefer when he talks about his rich guy hobbies or LotR. His constant "Look how smart I am" archaeology posts are too much  

And I love it when he cries about all the stolen artifacts when we damn well know that if we left it with his dumbass countryman they would have smashed it or sold off to westerners anyways. His backward Muslim friends still do it now. And speaking of backward Muslims we all know what they love to do with artifacts. He should be on his knees kissing our white asses that we save that shit and didn't leave it to the Egyptians or any of those other Muslim dipshits. 

There was that one thread where Syrian artifacts were stolen and brought back to the United States. They were confiscated and people in that thread were legitimately saying we should repatriate it back to Syria. Do they not know the situation there?

If it was up to me we should take those things out of those shit hole countries that can't keep care of them anyways. They don't even care about their own history.
