Anime / Manga enjoyer from Norway. I play FFXIV and sometimes Smash. He/Him
It’s 2026, we are gonna be 6 expansions deep into FFXIV soon. Can we stop with the weird gatekeepy behavior if someone doesn’t want to play through 250 hours of story to be able to play some of the best MMO raid encounters ever made? Heaven forbid someone asks you a small lore question if they start getting interested in the story after starting the game 10 years late. Are we really gonna keep driving people away with this weird NIMBY ritual? Just use your social skills (lol) and answer the small question, suggest they start a story alt on their downtime, or direct them to a synopsis video on YouTube. Crying about “story skippers” this deep into a game’s development cycle is peak cringe. If they set up a skip to Dawntrail for new characters to jump into the new story arc I and many others feel like it would be beneficial for the game’s long term health. While the Hydaelyn/Zodiark arc is great storytelling it’s also not a sacred cow for people to clutch pearls over. At the end of the day, it’s a game to be played. We’re all better than this and should start acting like it.
Noah Hawley says his ‘FAR CRY’ series won’t be adapting any of the games as he thinks audiences skip the story cutscenes in those games. “When you play a video game, you only really move forward through the gameplay section, and then you have these cut scenes that you can skip, so when you go to adapt those games you have to be aware that makes the human drama kind of irrelevant to the storyline.” (Source: Deadline)
There's one incredible exception to this rule:
Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
Former Nintendo Developer Takaya Imamura has some concern about Link speaking in The Legend of Zelda movie: "The moment Link speaks, I can't help but worry a little that the 'Zelda magic' everyone has been nurturing in their hearts might just vanish into thin air" ign.com/articles/forme…
Shigeru Miyamoto explained how Fox McCloud ended up in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie: “When I got the proposal from Chris about including Star Fox, in general, from Nintendo’s perspective, we tend to avoid mixing IPs, except for the Pikmin cameo. With that said, though, as the creator of Star Fox and this movie taking place in space, I felt that I wanted to see that. I wanted to see what it would be like, but I also felt that there may be significant resistance internally about that idea, so after I got this proposal, I contacted the necessary parties involved and started my lobbying activity here at Nintendo. However, I was surprised to find that a lot of people saw a lot of potential with it and were really excited to see what would come out of this.” nintendoeverything.com/miyamoto-expla…
RUMOR: Multiple leakers have detailed more information about the supposed “Ocarina of Time” remake. New information suggests it will be split into TWO $60 dollar games, one where you play as Young Link and one with Adult Link. The gameplay will be similar to “Breath of the Wild”.
‘The Lord of the Rings’ upcoming open-world game is rumored to be in development at Warhorse Studios (creators of Kingdom Come: Deliverance), according to journalist Ryszard Chojnowski. Embracer Group owns both LOTR game rights and Warhorse Studios.
¿Realmente, esto no tendría personalidad? ¿Si siempre vais promulgando y tenéis como bandera que los gráficos no son lo más importante, por qué no dejáis de llorar? 👉 ¿Si en 2040 un Zelda se ve así, no lo vais a jugar?
