Yeah, well I played TWD and I'd even recommend playing that without watching the show. Or at least without watching the later seasons. But I get you, I'll check out the show for show, maybe the book later.
Yeah, I'm honestly surprised that the number is so low, I don't know of anyone who buys games physically anymore. It's unfortunate but just so much more convenient and leads to way less e-waste.
Does this report break it down by platform? I'd love to know the percentage of steam users.
Right? I mean, I don't discredit Bethesda too much on the production quality, they're cute animated shorts it's just I wish the media wouldn't try to spin it a certain way to get clicks.
Piggybacking off of this to say that JMCrofts also did a video on this, and generally speaking I think his thought are better put together than Max's. Not to mention he's also got a smaller audience so, help the little guy!
Agreed, and it's just me I'm sure, but 18 is such an arbitrary number anyways. People all mature at different speeds and to limit someone who's fine with that kind of content just because another person dislikes it by imposing a hard limit like a government id feels disingenuous, but I recognize a lot of people are going to disagree with me on that.
It's a bit comedic, but I picture a scenario where a dad is trying to watch a movie with his kid and all of a sudden just before a scene where a quarter of a character's boob is shown it stops and prompts him with a "Are you over 18? Please scan your face to continue." And also would it even allow them if it also saw the kid there? Better yet take the kid out of the equation, it's just an adult trying to watch an R rated movie or an M rated game.
In Germany there are calls for a verifiable 18+ check, meaning via a reader app for the ID card or something
There are so many companies salivating at the thought of having access to that info. Call me a little rude, but I think that parents should just be more aware of what their kids do/see online instead of just offloading the blame onto the website that host sensitive content.
I don't like the religious or governmental implications this might have but I have no qualms with it's people. Plus if china's Tencent is already so ingrained in gaming, SA can't be much worse. Right?
I just dislike the government oversight on things done at home. I'm not one for politics typically, but I feel like it's the parents' duty to curate what their child sees and that should be that. I just don't think that on top of that there should be a government verification for the parent. That's more than a little ridiculous to me.
Not to mention all the sort of privacy concerns that arise with a system like this.
And it still doesn't address the fact that kids can still just lie and say they're +18 on a sign up page. I knew many people that did this growing up.
To call this an anime is just plain wrong. This is a series of animated shorts, completely unvoiced to boot. I'd have saved some time flipping through storyboard pictures. But still, it's always nice to see games branch out in these ways. Just wish people would call things what they are cause I had completely different expectations going in.
This is a genre I've always wanted to like, but have such a hard time enjoying. I mean there are so many beautiful games out there under this umbrella, Hollow Knight, Ender Lillies, Moon Scars, Lost Song.
All of these games have such an amazing atmosphere and I just can't beat them because I always end up getting lost and never really knowing what the intended path is. That feeling of being lost is so frustrating that I just drop it and move on. Such a shame too, I really liked Ender Lilies.
I wholly agree with you on the patience thing too.
Gonna be honest, and this is just my opinion here. I hate this swipe to bookmark thing, I liked having the bookmark icon next to the upvote/downvote. I hope it becomes an adjustable setting in the next update.
For me, it's dead or dying live services I suppose. Like Spacelords, and Paladins. They are "games" that frankly treat their players like pay pigs and I'm not interested in all that. I still happily discuss the world and characters though.
