    That won't be necessary. Doesn't change the fact that you should not have brought this up on the forum itself. If such a thing happens again, send the message to @DC like you did and leave it at that.

    @Grungie, you would do will by listening to @Reality vs Adventure. It's quite clear to me that you were debating with @The Blackangel the person, not the mod', and it was a person she decided to leave the conversation before things got out of hand. Her being a mod clearly had nothing to do with this, but then you play the victim and imply that there was some sort of abuse of power, which quite honestly is ridiculous. She didn't edit your posts. remove any of them nor threaten you with such actions or any action within her power as a mod. However, making false claims that we are abusing our power on the public forum is NOT something that I'm prepared to tolerate. Even if @The Blackangel is, I'm not. If you felt @The Blackangel was taking it to far, why wouldn't you report it? So I'm giving you two choices: Make a formal complaint with either myself or @DC. The claim will be looked at in a professional and impartial manner, but bear in mind I have already looked at this thread and whilst it was certainly a heated debate, I didn't see either of you break any rules. Apologise to @The Blackangel for the false claim. I'm not going to let you post anymore until you do one or the other.
  3. First, there was no gameplay in the trailer, it was a cinematic trailer. Second, nobody sang anything. There were two musical tracks and they were both instumental. There Did you actually watct it?
  4. I know that the laws regarding sexual consent, content and exposure in Japan are complicated, but that's not what this is about. I can also see that in you that I am talking to someone who knows thier shit, so I'll get right to the point. Japan "dumbing down" JRPG's for the western market isn't something that happens anymore, but it has happened more recently than FF4. Final Fantasy XII was released in the west with it's rubbish levelling system made for the west in 2006. It was 11 years before we got the good version, the "International Zodiac Job System" version, when they released "The Zodiac Age" in 2017. That was only 5 years ago, so I'm not giving them the benefit of any doubt.
  5. I had heard of the game, but never played it. I do feel the need to disagree with the idea that JRPG's aren't popular in the west. Not because it's a false claim, on the contrary it could be true, but because the companies that make these games need to know we like them over here. And also that we like them as they are, without the dunning down that has happend to western ports of JRPG's in the past.
  6. Gotta be this. I haven't played the game yet, but this trailer For Shadow Warrior 3 is brilliant.
  7. Why would you want to visit Stonehenge now anyway? There isn't quite as many orgies held there as there use to be. Oh crap, I did it didn't I...
  8. I'll assume that's a mod, right?
  9. Whilst I was updating this, I decided to post a little "bump" now just in case some more recent member are unaware of the threads for PS+, Free Games With Epic and of course this one for XBox Live Games with Gold.
  10. I remember Devil Daggers, what a surreal experience that was. I think the longest I was able to last was about a minute or so. I don't know about games where you're doomed the moment you start playing and it's all about just about lasting as long as you can, I personally find it hard to motivate myself to play games like that. Not that I don't understand the appeal because I do. I would even go so far as to say everyone should try Devil Daggers at least once. It looks great and the atmosphere is just as daunting as the gameplay itself.
  11. The untraceable nature, whether it really is untraceable or not, is just another thing that puts me off. There's certain types of people that would be tempted by crypto' for that very reason and odds are these are people you don't want anything to do with, much less do business with.
  12. There's a toolbar above the textbox. There are various functions on it, including a option to change the text colour
  13. It is possible to steam your Gamepass games to a phone or tablet.
  14. Control and interface Gameplay Sound (Never underestimate how important this can be) Story Aesthetics and graphics
  15. You made some tough calls, but I feel you made the right ones. I'm confident that this is a step in the right direction.
  16. The two I would have mentioned have already been mentioned, them being Ian Alexander and August Aiden Black. Other than that, I can't immediately think of any more. Elliot Paige starred in Beyond Two Souls before his transition, so at the time he still identified as a woman (Although it's likely he was unhappy doing so as many transgender people are pre-transition.) and played a cisgender female character, so I don't think that really counts. I will say I don't feel transgender characters need to appear more or less in games, but it certainly needs to be handled like how TLOU 2 and Tell Me Why did buy actually casing trans' actors when they do.
  17. Honestly, I envy anyone tasked with figuring out Mario's cannon. It's something that has ripped and and re-built so many times, not to mention the character was created at a time stories and lore for video games were any never complex than "Save the Princess". I hate to make this worse, but somehow Donkey Kong has to factor into this as Mario first appeared as the hero in Donkey Kong before Mario Brothers. Even if we ignore the movie (and frankly, we should) this is a jigsaw puzzle where half the pieces have changed shape and colour.

  19. It all depends on the game in question and how the port was handled. Wether the game is a PC exclusive is irrevant. One should not assume that game will not be compatible with a gamepad because it's a PC exclusive, nor should one assume that when a game is multiplatform that a gamepad will work. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, for example, is not comparable with a controller on PC. The only way to make it work is to use 3rd party software to map keyboard functions to the gamepad, like ReWSAD or AntMicro. Such things these days are very rare, especially amongst mainstream games, so there is little reason to worry.

    Not just video games, but all works of fiction are a reflection of reality at least to some extent, so it's inneveitable that social politics that so permiate everyday life will also be reflected. So @killamch89, I wouldn't not play this or any game because you want to avoid political issues, sooner or later you're going to miss out on some really good games because of it.
  21. OK @Jasmin, fair enough. I apologise for my use of language, hat was immature and unnecessary.
  22. I'm putting this here because everyone needs to read this and this discussion needs to be reignited. This is about the recent conduct of one of our newer members @Jasmin and how it has lead to this post here. After making a comment like that, I was not going to allow @Jasmin continue to post on VGR without rescinding that comment and promising to put effort into her content on VGR. At the time of me typing this, she had not done so, but will update if she does. As most of you are aware, we have had trouble in recent weeks and months with people posting just up the count with little to no care over the quality, forethought and purpose of what they post, just putting up anything at all so long as it's a post. That's why this very thread exists. This behaviour has been going on for some time with many of our members and we have been trying to discourage it on VGR with mixed levels of success. Clearly, there is still work to be done. @Jasmin's attitude with regard to what is expected of people as part of this community and contributing to this forum is obviously wrong, but in her deference, I do not believe she is 100% at fault. The habits of too many people on VGR who post farm is what gave this person the impression that this how we're supposed do it on VGR. @Head_Hunter, @Heatman, @Justin11 and others, this is the fruit of your labour. It's your continued insistence on posting like this despite serval efforts on my part to make it clear posting in these spurts of posts in the dozens with 2-3 minute gaps between posts is harmful to the forum. Not only is it a bad example and a bad impression, but these post end up generic, soulless, badly written and virtually pointless and that's if there're on topic at all. These posts also tend to be made in the wake of little to no effort to actually read threads accurately, which not only leads to inaccurate replies, but is also very unfair to other members who actually put effort into what they post. The bare minimum VGR members deserve is to have thier posts read and understood before someone replies to them. EVERONE deserves at least that on VGR. But because of long term members who continue to post in this unhelpful manner, this is what newcomers to the forum like @Jasmin think they are supposed to do, that this is what is expected. I'd say @Dannyjax, @Aniekwe and @Clasher, like @Jasmin are also newcomers to the forum who are also starting to follow the same path and this is very worrying. Trust me, this is not what we want. This has to stop, now. I'd recommending once again that @DC alter the way points are offered to not reward this behaviour, but what we really need is people to go back through this thread, read what people are saying, take the advice on board and post like you care, unlike @Jasmin. And if you're reading this @Jasmin, I asked only the same of you. All I really wanted you to do is understand your perception of what people are expected to do is wrong. Still, it's you choice to come back or not, but if you do I want to see a new attitude.
  23. I didn't even have to be the one to say it @Jasmin. And if that comment above is what you believe, get off this forum before I kick you off. If you're not interseted in engaging meaningfully with the community, then we're not interested in you.
  24. Stop with the lies. You did not read that post and you certainly didn't watch the videos to gain full understanding of the situation before replying as it is not possible to all that then type out a reply, even that painfully generic one, in 3 minutes. You've been caught, now start behaving like an adult and take responsibility.
