    Isn't that just Tokyo Jungle

    Yes, but instead of just one doggo murdering other random animals, it's 100 doggos murdering each other and fighting over the npc animals you breed with.

    Why can't the animals you breed with be other players?

    Better idea:

    100 doggos are airdropped onto an island to romp and play with each other to determine which one gets the title of Good Boy/Girl. The twist though is...
    They're all good boys and girls.

    Yes, a 100 player battle royale with breeding mechanics between players, that won't get horrifying fast

    Amanita Design have released an update for their newest game Chuchel, changing the appearance of the main character, after receiving feedback about him resembling someone in blackface: http://amanita-design.net/chuchel_change.html

    dissidia was also a series of PSP games that were english localized before it was a japanese arcade game

    There are a lot of Japanese arcade games that never see any light of day. Dissidia's from Final Fantasy, a series that gets lots of console releases. Really not comparable

    I just finished The Missing and wow what and incredible game. It really nails the story for the most part in a thing that is really easy for anyone to do wrong.

    Yeah, I really liked The Missing, but one issue I did have with it...
    is that I feel like it leaned a little too hard on the misery. It's easy for media to fall into a trap of just saying "here's how it sucks to be trans" without then following up by saying "but here's why it's worth it." The final chase sequence when JJ gets the super-regeneration and then straight-up impales the monster with a lightning rod does a decent job of addressing the latter, but I would have liked to see a little more.

    But also it's not a problem I felt was particularly big in the long run.

    I get that, I was very worried that there was going to be no swing back so I was just happy to get that. Some of the stuff in the post game does fill in the nicer parts of out JJ.

    Post game spoilers
    Playing as post game JJ is actually pretty nice cause it shows her actually making progress, changing her voice in little ways and obviously doing way better, and then the photos of her are just so good.

    Also I recommend this article cause it lays out the full metaphor that the game is working with.

    It seems astounding that The Missing handles its subject matter so well when the same person has done similar stuff extremely poorly in a previous game

    I got Hades

    Hades rules, holy shit

    I have nothing but great things to say about it, I feel like it's already worth the 20 bucks, it's an excellent return to Supergiant as a pure action developer bolstered even further by everything they learned on Transistor and Pyre's more RPG-like mechanics, it's gorgeous to look at, it's a really fun exploration of the pantheon, I REALLY love it

    Hades is so good

    so so good

    and Zag is the best goddamn protagonist. he's upbeat, he's funny, and his design is sick

    It says a lot for their combat design that I can't decide what my favorite weapon is in Hades

    Every time they incentivize me to use a different one I realize "oh man this one also has a lot of useful stuff"

    I think the only one I don't really care for is the shield, mostly because it doesn't combo

    The shield is my favourite! Running around throwing the shield like Captain America is extremely fun, and the double-damage-per-bounce buff you can get from a Hammer is awesome

    the bull rush is pretty great for boss fights too, although it doesn't have built-in reflect anymore.

    I picked up the Missing and it made me cry and it's beautiful and rough and very very honest, and it's a very good, if quite emotionally rough, queer story

    I haven't played Hades, but this is something I loved about Transistor
    Programs overloading forced me to use different ones and I actually loved fiddling around and discovering new combos. Most games I find my groove as soon as possible and never leave it

    My friend got me What Remains of Edith Finch for Christmas and while I'm liking what little of it I've played so far they keep doing this thing where they pull the camera toward the text they're projecting in the world and it's really irritating.

    I appreciated that cause sometimes they'd pick stylized text that might have been hard to read otherwise.
