Welcome to my blocklist.

So tired of arguing with people like you.

Nah, I’m good.

If you have a problem with what I’m doing, you can always ignore me.

I personally don’t have any issue with what I’m doing so I see no reason to change.

It doesn’t bother me if it bothers you.

Everyone is critic, but not everyone is a good critic. Toxic positivity exists so people can get taken for a ride without fear of judgement.

But DUDE, it’s for the PC what Final Fantasy 7 was for the PS1!

You HAVE to buy it RIGHT NOW!

Ok well, then that’s definitely not like Final Fantasy 7.

Final Fantasy games are in their own contained universe.

Clearly the potboilers on your team don’t know what they’re talking about and are just saying bullshit to drum up hype so they can make money.

Rather than burning energy on outrage, put that time into actually playing more games. You’ll get more out of them

Fuck off with that nonsense. You’re here to sell a product and take people’s hard-earned money. They shouldn’t lower their standards to satisfy your ego and make you more money.

You should work harder because I guarantee your team didn’t put as much effort into this as went into FF7.

I feel like they were paid by the creators to write this.

Once gabe goes, it’s all over.

Try not to become too dependent on the corporation.

Assassin’s Creed died after 2 when they fired the creator.

“After backlash,” of course.

You heard it here first, folks. Businesses will try to fuck you over if they can get away with it.

It has nothing to do about keeping the lights on.

Eh, I don’t think the series would be as bad if it didn’t have his coke-addled ass dictating which direction it should go.

I agree. Modern developers use technology to cover up for creative bankruptcy.

I’m noticing music is having the same drawbacks as graphics in video games.

People keep “adding more” just because they can, not because it’s necessary or improves the final product.

Anime also has this issue with most modern animes having music playing 90% of the time because they can afford it. It reduces the integrity of the art down to that of a slapstick comedy.

The music for Spyro was great because they hired someone with professional experience in the industry, Stewart Copeland of The Police.

More often than not, great music in video games comes about from paying composers appropriate salaries and letting them do their thing.

It’s easy to hire Joe Shmoe for a bargain who will just put in “drums of war,” which is what most developers end up doing.

Maybe this is true, maybe it isn’t.

I know that video game music has gotten significantly worse as technology has improved. Something can sound “professional” because it has an actual orchestra, but the the composition leaves a lot to be desired.

Jim Sterling put it best when he said the music for Stranger of Paradise was just “vague orchestral walls of noise.”
