    I would not have predicted that this would be a hit like this. People I know who don’t really follow video games, this is the one they’re talking about. 

    People who don't play video games and see something strange and an anomaly will talk about it because it doesn't fit their idea of what video games are.

     

    In other words, fucking casuals.

    The ZX games on the DS were...also good...but never quite hit the same highs as the GBA games. Especially the first game, which had this incredibly difficult to understand map that nearly (or for some people, very much) broke the game. 

     

     

    Big plus - I loved the mobility that HX form gave.

     

    Negatives - LX and FX forms were meh to garbage.  Charge special attacks wasted too much livemetal energy.  Melee very weak.  Double buster everything.

    The Farewell: 10/10

     

    Probably my favorite movie of the year.  Fuck Crazy Rich Asians, this movie actually captures the cultural differences between America and Asia (China) and does so in a humorous and moving way.  Awkwafina and Zhao Shuzhen put in amazing performances that are worthy of nominations.

     

    I'm on agreement with this.  This movie felt more relatable than the socialite exaggeration of Crazy Rich Asians (although with some brief accuracy with how judgmental "Chinese" were).  A lot of the issues with East vs West ideology, being excluded, patronized, "greater good", and of course the relatable cringe of Chinese family/social gatherings; it all was accurate.

     

    I'd give it a 9/10.  This legitimately surprised me.

  4. Just announced on their FB page, Deemo Reborn is a 3D remake of the mobile rhythm game (also Vita and Switch).

  5. Disregard.  I reread the reply/quote.  Comprehension has been fucky as of late due to personal stress, and reading the political BS.  I interpreted it incorrectly assuming you said Chinese and Taiwanese review bombed the game, and lumping Taiwan into China.  My bad.

     

    However, point still stands  about how approaching Chinese nationalism under Western ideology.  Mainland pigs get fucking pissed off when you slight their middle kingdom even in the most minor context.

    I was speaking more to the manner the press and internet in general reacts to perceived political controversy in games.

     

    That’s not to take away from what you’re saying at all.  I’m sure China was happy that their own gamers review bombed something seen as a slight against their leadership.

     

    But if the press was more free in China, the texture in question (which the devs didn’t advertise the game with) still would have gotten a large reaction.  Especially since the game was popular beforehand.

     

    I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about with all due respect.  If you're trying to deduce the situation based on Western ideology or political semblance, then your interpretation is already incorrect as is, especially considering how you lump Taiwan with China.
