I'm not exactly someone who thinks PS1 texture warping somehow improves the experience of retro gaming per se but I do think being the kind of person who makes a big deal out of it marks one out as, diplomatically, "not the target audience" and undiplomatically as "irritatingly fussy"

ok but it's not twenty years ago and the game now goes for like 30 to 60

it is genuinely astonishing to me how often this happens to specifically ps1 games. the console paradoxically considered to have one of the strongest game libraries of all times but also the one most likely to make people pitch a fit if you just bring one back without changes

i feel like i get away with being a profoundly mediocre editor on the basis that a lot of people don't actually Watch videos like mine anyway they just listen to them while folding their laundry

sure maybe the devs are attempting to leverage the bizarre nature of their games denial in an attempt to get more eyeballs on it, I can believe that. because when you're banned from the biggest PC gaming platform, what choice do you have?

if your angle is they got banned on purpose then lol, lmao

this is so bizarrely conspiratorially minded.

like how do you even talk yourself into this line of thinking when the idea that Valve, being a monopoly, can act with unchecked arbitrary authority is considerably more straightforward? Art making you uncomfortable is not a good reason to be like that

game's fun enough. will probably play more of it. but within the first like 20 minutes its thrown about thirty proper nouns at me that all sound like someone trying to speak German and Welsh simultaneously but in a faux english accent and when I try to digest any of it my brain makes static noises

yeah I don't think FFX-2 would suddenly become incredibly lopsided towards women without Maechen. Nooj does fucking yap an asston whenever he's on screen.

but I'm pretty certain it'd at least crack the 50% mark without the "i am literally just here to talk forever and that is the joke" guy

seriously though you really do have to imagine X-2's ratio would probably be like, 60%+ in favour of women if you factor out the one NPC who's literal gimmick is that he goes on dozens of minutes straight without stopping
