it's kinda funny seeing people try to build up this mythology around Nagoshi with Like a Dragon, kinda comparable to how people talk about Sakaguchi with Final Fantasy, but people who are big into the games go "nah he would've loved this shit"

There has never, in my 30 years behind the counter, been a run of comics like DC's Absolute line. Nearly every issue being reprinted AGAIN. People come in every single day looking for single issues, and it's a lot of new readers.

no company believes that any of their value comes from the people who make their stuff
if you talk to these people you will quickly find out they think it's entirely "brand loyalty" or something even more nebulous

Plz do not forget that this is the same company that put out a $500 skin for a character, made MILLIONS from that alone and then LAID OFF THE ARTIST OF THAT SKIN

2 things:
1) 80 people have been terminated and that is ~half the team, so 2XKO was made with ~160 staff. That's not very big at all. That's a tiny fucking team for a major release. Let me put this into perspective, 「𝐒𝐍𝐊」 is over ~500 people.
2) Losing half your team is a death knell.

HALF THE TEAM?! Brother we are not even going to make it to the end of the year www.pcgamer.com/games/fighti...
Riot lays off 2XKO developers less than three weeks after release: 'Overall momentum hasn't reached the level needed to support a team of this size'
Roughly 80 employees are being let go as Riot's long-awaited fighting game fails to catch fire.

people complaining about not being able to understand the lyrics in another language is always so strange because I guarantee most of those people have never given any serious thought to the english lyrics of songs they listen to all the time
my opinion on the Bad Bunny halftime show, and non-English music in general, is that i think a need to “be able to understand the lyrics” displays an embarrassing shallowness of the speaker to appreciate the voice as an instrument & to appreciate music as something other than a lyric delivery system

31 substories is really low for a Like a Dragon game, though I wouldn't be surprised if the new content with the orphanage cuts into that (Judgement has a lot of "Friend Events" that are really just substories) but I do gotta also say, base 3 had way too many substories and several just sucked

I will say, do not trust the propaganda saying Yakuza 3 is perfectly fine and had nothing worth fixing, that game is ROUGH in a lot of ways I wouldn't say the other games are

I'm excited to get to the FF5 pixel remaster, I lost my old save file right at the end, either just before or literally in the void, I forget specifically where, and I wanna finally go back and beat it

If I sound like a downer sometimes, it's because I'm 38 and I see everything coming at least a year away.
