TRON: Catalyst

"GamerGate killed Polygone!" Murdered by their own cries of wolf?

They manufactured the BS narratives attacking the market for not liking "modern audience" shovelware and then fail because nobody wants to read about failure covering for more failure. Imagine that.

They should have stuck to reviewing games instead of making Dean Takahashi look more competent by default. At least he just failed Mass Effect and Cuphead, and not the whole industry until out of a job, so that DentureBleat is still around.

Polygone went Full IGN. Never go Full IGN.

The "woke" (or, rather, censorship/bastardizing alteration) part in CT PC is mainly present in form of rewritten "lolcowlization" texts (where characters use "modern lingo" quips/speech patterns) and some sprites being "slightly redone", if I recall correctly. Something akin to "Dragon Quest's BIGREDSMACKINGLIPS on Troll" moment, or "removal of innuendos". I'm not completely sure exactly which parts were "modernaudience"d, as I only touched that piece of crap once, on it's "release" (iykwim) date, and never got back to it ever since. If modders managed to largely improve/fix/repair that piece of crap, then I guess it's "fine", to each their own, but purely on a personal level I'd rather just run CT PSOne on original hardware (in my particular case, I currently use PS 2 for that, as I don't have a physical PSOne on my hands anymore) or at the very least emulate it (in Duck, POPS, or whatever else).

I don't recall any of that modern audience crap changes aside from the FMV removals. Ayla's Intro wasn't one of them, which suggests to me it was the violence of the other two that caused their removal.

The woke insertions that people might be remembering and attributing to Chrono Trigger is the awful treatment of another beloved 90s favorite, Secret of Mana.

This truly is the awful port, with ESC not going back and Alt+F4 not closing.

@Kindred makes sense. No wonder the reviews were positve, compared to the Chrono Cross mixed. Is the modern audience stuff still there?

Don't forget The Great Rebellion has a lot of woke representation.

I dont get it.. wokies demand representation in games but none of them buy and play Alex Jones NWO wars, plenty woke representation in that one!

Funny thing about CT PC that I was keeping up with.

It actually got better, mainly because modders helped rinse Squeezix alongside the few game journos who can still actually play a game without Tourist Mode on. They showed what the game could be if it weren't just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lazy port given a $5 price increase from the mobile version. Better resolutions, removal of stupid filters, fixing XABY, etc. Squeezix actually updated to make it more of an actual PC port instead of shovelware. With the increased quality the modders eventually stopped.

There are still two missing FMV cutscenes, where Lucca finds Robo and the Fall of Guardia. Because it might traumatize someone. Sadly, there's no way to mod those into the game as of yet.

I've heard about some modding scene existing for Chrono Trigger, somewhere out there, but I'm not sure how deep it goes, as I personally never tried modding it with anything, thus far. Mostly because I always play CT (and Chrono Cross as well...and Radical Dreamers too) and CC either on their original respective consoles (I always prefer PSOne port of CT over Super Famicom's vanilla, however), or I just run those in emulators (I've played through crappy DS port of it this way, because Nintendon't will never ever get a single effing cent more from me, past the Gamecube/Wii era).

damn. Can mods fix it?

This^ thank you

Dude, what? Chrono Trigger on Steam is GARBAGE. It's "based on" mobile sloport and rife with new bugs/glitches that weren't there before, as well as nonexistent "modern audience"-pandering/catering censorship/rewrites aimed at lavender latte sоу drinking snowflakes. It is DUNG that's even worse than what the DS port was representing. It's so BAD that they didn't even change/remove some of the mobile UI elements, when they were """""porting""""" that TRASH to PC. It is absolute atrocity.

I’m guessing it’ll be a 3D action game like FF7R/FF15/FF16, orrrr an HD2D treatment in the style of Octopath like Dragon Quest III or LIVEALIVE

@Kawayol why would we need a remake? I'm reading the original on steam and it seems to be the original with higher res textures. Seems enough.

Chrono Trigger's remake is accidentally leaked by Yuji Horii's blabbing mouth.
SquE is BUTTMAD SEETHING and it's GLORIOUS.

And now Giant Bomb implodes.
The nuG4 Frosk Effect / Alyssa Mercante STD is real!
I'm a bit skeptical, as it's either that or the USAIDS moneys ran out.

lolmao

Pox Media needed the money that badly.
Kotaku reporting about Polygone's demise is a win I didn't foresee, but hey, I'll celebrate it.

Lords of The Fallen's devs have proven by now that you can both be paid/bribed at a point AND then actually listen to your core fans, curbing/denying the woketards by refusing their extortionist disgusting "demands". This is a rarity in the so-called "video gaym developing industry" as a whole in general nowadays, however. Mainly due to the fact that absolute majority of self-proclaimed "AA" (indies not withstand) and "AAA/AAAA/AAAAA/AAAAAAAA/AAAAAAAAAAA" devs are utterly unapologetic hypocrites , LGBLMTQ's asskissing and libertardoid fascists' bootlicking COWARDS .

Body Type 2 DIABEETUS

you can buy and put a negative review.

also seems it has a questionable privacy policy and no mod support.

Nobody is forced, they are agree in exchange of money. If you pay, they will continue.
Just drop the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ring Isildur / Frodo !!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately seems studios are forced to put body type A and B. It did seem oblivion is trying really hard to be faithful. So far I think it's a good purchase. It also looks like one of the best remasters when compared to everything else in the market.

based curator but he'll have to make a review for almost every new game unfortunately

lol, lmao even

Bruh the admin is woke boiz, check his profile.

Another round of applause for Schedule I scaring the corposlop Ubisoft Johnny Somali Simulator into stealthing out of the Top 100 Played on Steam

CHICK JOCKEY! *4chin dies*

Congrats on your country's Supreme Court figuring out what a "chick" is!

Ahhh so this is the group you join when u can't get chicks

Very first "1.0" physical release of Stellar Blade has both the absolutely uncensored costumed, and the Hard R present in it. So, if anything, people should obtain the 1.0 release and mod things back in, or emulate it eventually.

get your facts checked on stellar blade, it's not just the graffiti, many costumes were censored compared to their promotional material and a few were literally censored post release as a mandatory patch

by the way guys this is the 3rd or 4rth time the wokies on dark deity 2 banned me those people are completely cooked

it has the usual safe preachy dialogue and in general has that modern western feel to it i just say this becauseu i haven't seen anyone talking about it

Oh no, what happened with Dark Deity 2?

add dark deity 2 to the list guys

Not only does Rachel Ziegler decide to ratio her career, John Boyega goes on to tell her to hold his beer. Instead of blaming the bad writing, he blames the fans for not liking the bad writing.

He seems to have forgotten where fans have thought Finn was a better protagonist before he devolved into minstrel show caricature in A New Jedi. Rose could have been developed better. The death of Kylo Ren made Rey despised when the pairing could have redeemed them both by offering a new hope for something decent from the whole thing of killing Han.

When they rediscover what the market wants or goes to corporate fire sale, Disney will acknowledge all the garbage about as much as they do Willow series or the 70s and 80s live action properties they will not touch again. House of Mouse was loved.

I think it's safe to say the mainstream era of narcissistic nepobaby slop is over as it's obviously unprofitable.

The only salvation for disney is if they make Mel Gibson their CEO.

Really? I think by the Power of One angry nepobaby Snow Woke pretty much put an end to all that from Disney. By the Power of Two major Disney franchises crashing down results in the Power of Many employees no longer having a job.

Kind of like the last time they turned to live-action suck before their 90s animation revival. It's ironic that Disney were digging through that as basis for their live-action Weekend At Bernie's franchising. Hopefully they'll find a CEO who can figure it out again for the remaining employees and get back to being an animation company investors will trust again.

I am not so optimistic, just look at Disney. Its been years since their first live action butcher jobs and stock tanking and they still keep on doing the same thing over and over with the new releases.

Ironically, this is BECAUSE of Sarkeesian and woke activism funded by US. A.I.D.
You're now seeing the last remnants of it like Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends of the late 70s and early 80s was the last remnant then.

Don't worry, we're almost back again to an era that gave us cool things. People more fondly remember the 80s than the 70s for a lot of good reasons.

Again, that's the whole mess Ubisoft are in now.

They adopted woke politics and character designs - including a really strange patient privacy violation about boasting a character's top surgery without anesthesia for Far Cry 6 - as a means to publicly give the image that their company wasn't run by sex pests.

Unfortunately, this resulted in product degradation to the point that Far Cry V would still remain the far superior title. This would be the same for other Ubisoft franchises, some of which are just dead now.

Assassin's Creed certainly isn't what it used to be compared to 3. 3 tried their best to make a fictional character that fit. Shadows doesn't even care that it tries to pass off Chinese imagery as Japanese while going Johnny Somali on Japanese culture.

Spider-Man 2 wanted to race-swap so badly it shipped without anyone involved realizing they had the Cuban flag instead. Again, back to Super Friends' Apache Chief in woke garbage.

Gotcha, i agree with your sentiment, i just think this is eerily similar to the Sarkeesian or w/e her name was whining about videogames but like reversed in subject. What comes to these companies, something of their decisions has to pay because there is no billion dollar company that runs on good will. Its money and investors, thats why i think deliberate wokeism is rare because there is no investor who wants to lose money on a failed product.

Hanna-Barbera's Super Friends "Apache Chief" - 1000% woke hippie boomer (racist)

Another good example of woke activists causing global backlash is Netflix's Cleopatra insisting she was Sub-Saharan "because feelings" for a "documentary" - and they will say YOU are the bigot if you even WTF at it.

[Egypt hated that.]
(And also remember the whole defense Netflix and "fans" made about Cuties - *barf*)

Check out what VAs and localizers have been doing to insert their own politics to anime, manga, and video game localization, often in direct contradiction of a creation's humor and other themes to turn the creation into an HR struggle session speaking down on some people to patronize others based upon racial profiling.

If people don't like that at work then why put it in games?

The market got tired of it enough to be wary.

When activism escaped Tumblr into the real-world and then started invading all the entertainment to pronoun preach like Dragon Age, that it's now something the market no longer wants to pay actual money for. Those who it is supposed to represent are doing the CJ "Aw ♥♥♥♥ here we go again." and aren't populate enough to support the continued development of AAA titles.

If most gamers can't stand these discussions on forums then why the hell should we buy it?

It might surprise the woke folks that a lot of anti-woke aren't the caricature of straight white males, and might be tired of representations that only make them ugh, like the Nth repetition of Killmonger or another character that's ugly in personality and in what they do but we're all expected to like them for some reason.

That's just why the Chinese market desires people cut based upon race, because they don't like Johnny Somali behavior.

Informing people about woke crap isn't a concentrated effort to influence anyone. Woke zombies are free to consider this as a recommendation, but they never put their money where their mouths are.
