I think most people agree when you get upset at the Hades 2 1.0 stuff, adding new stuff, especially narratively, within a month of the game declaring it was finished is shit, but if in 3 years from now Hades 2 2.0 comes out packed with new content I'm not going to be bitter that I played at launch.

It is one part localization catching up with the games and another part it being the exact business model of Like a Dragon.
1 game a year, smart asset reuse, dedicated (rabid) fans = profit.

Having just finished the first episode of season 5 (I have to see for myself), I gotta ask what the point is of adding the faceless evil military back in other than for them to be fodder for the monsters to kill.
Linda Hamiliton playing the evil scientist doesn't make it any less boring.

RAM is not something that being behind the curve can avoid.
Switch 2 uses 12 GB of RAM, more than the 4 GB of Switch 1.
Games are extremely RAM hungry right now and part of the reason Switch 2 can handle games like Star Wars Outlaws is the huge increase in RAM for the system.

... reinvent itself.
A definitive bad ending that permanently tarnishes the show would be very difficult similar to soap operas or Bond.
A new doctor wipes the slate clean and an bad ending for one doctor is not a bad ending for them all.
Other shows don't have that out I feel they are locked in.

I 100% get you, I am also a lapsed Doctor Who fan too, I fell of the show during Whittaker's run. It was really rough from what I watched which was a shame. I'll likely catch up if I hear a season is particularly strong.
I do think Dr. Who benefits from being a show that constantly gets to...

I mean a core part of these games are the characters and their relationships. Sky is the only one with the psuedo incest. Sky 3rd, Zero and Azure would have similar things but it would be a coworker romance or a bromance.
Later games get into persona like bonding events.

It is wild how important an ending is to the legacy of a show.
As a lapsed fan of MHA, I decided to finish the show off this xmas and ultimately ended up enjoying the ending despite MHA's shortcomings.
While GoT a show I spent the better part of a decade loving I can't even bare to think about.

I've beat all of the games. It is just a badly balanced fight.
They tried to recreate the originals difficulty and overstepped the mark.
I doubt you would run into anything that difficult past that point.
Trails is generally an easy rpg series on the normal difficulty outside of freak occurrences.

I think in some of the gameplay they showed the game dropped to sub 30 fps when Bond shot an explosive barrel.
They probably need to optimise the game unless they want a Rise situation on their hands.

That said I still feel grace is required. It is very common for devs big and small to jump on the new tech hype fad without considering ethical concerns and the true test is usually how they respond to it.
My hope is they cut it out of there development process.
Only time will tell though.

Oh, I think your right and that is a reasonable outlook on what happened but also that genAI use was know back around the games launch and only a french outlet questioned them on it.
I want to know why much of game media (english language) failed to meet the moment and confront them.

What exactly does that achieve. The point is to get them to change. Therefore you do give them grace and make the problem with their work clear under good faith they hear the message and change.
If they continue to use the technology THEN you treat them like the devil.

It is the double edge sword of boycotting it. A lot of critics that would have given it more critical eye sat it out for valid and commendable reasons.
I think personally I would prefer if critics review morally questionable media as long as it informs the review.
That said not everyone agrees.

This is a good line if I didn't know your party was throwing the LGBTQ+ community under the bus.
To be clear as a B we can all see what you are doing to the T's.
I voted for your party since I was able to vote and I am now done with you.

This reads like something you'd see in a email in a dystopian video game that everyone would complain is poor writing due to being too on the nose.

I feel like a good number of people have been really focused on the western use of AI and have not been paying attention to a bunch of the interviews with Japanese devs were they are quite keen on AI.
Hell even Kojima is like "We can use it to cut on the boring stuff" or something to that effect.

Try the remake maybe or just try the one you were interested in.
I played Cold Steel 1 and 2 before any of the other games.
I can tell you without a doubt that I would have never played Sky of my own volition if those game didn't get me invested.

They were making grand strategy games.
If we are going this route then Pink Floyd did nazi propaganda because the hammerskins took the hammer logo from The Wall, a distinctly anti facist album.
Blaming the creatives gets very messy.
Also the article that is going around has issues.

So I've deleted my initial post so people don't hound me but I want to apologise if it came off as hostile, I was trying to be lighthearted but I think it read more flippant and that wasn't my intention. Sorry.
