I’ve been working through all the games my parents never let me play as a kid using emulators. The idea for this post was inspired by blitz: the league. A dark and gritty American football arcade style game. It features steroids, corruption, and to the modern audience disgusting emphasis on dirty hits and injury. The injuries are emphasized through rewarding the player and mortal kombat style xrays.
It is not without humor (sending sex workers to the away team’s hotel before a game is a feature in the sequel iirc). The gameplay is fun enough and it’s really funny how mad the nfl got because despite the deep flaws it correctly pointed out the corruption.
Final score: “hey dude sniff this milk”/10.
Persona 4 for me. Really liked it when i first played it in highschool, but now? can't handle constant homophobia sorry
What's with Japanese media using crossdressing as a punchline, anyways?
transphobia + misogyny = funny!!!
The Gerudo part of Breath of the Wild was really uncomfortable for me because of that. I wouldn't have minded so much if it were done remotely tastefully but the whole way it was presented gave me magical realm vibes.
It’s like the game devs just can’t help it :japan-cool:
I understand. I never played the game until after accepting myself. It sucks. I how 5 is better when it finally comes to pc. 3 was mostly ok at least.
5 has a few yikes moments but it's not nearly as prevalent as 4
