I think it's a decent contribution to the aforementioned good writing.

I think the fact that you are clearly in a situation that is the way it is because of some pretty huge political maneuvers prior to the story is the part there. Suikoden 1 is very clearly a smaller part of a bigger story.

I don't know if this was posted but Amazon is having a sale on a whole lot of games: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=br_lf_m_1000708781_pglink_1?ie=UTF8&tag=lightdrops-20&plgroup=1&docId=1000708781&plpage=1

Is it wrong that Q&A's assessment rings most true to me as an outsider?

(aside from them being more like bdsm subs than Batman)

metroid composite · « **Reply #456 on:** August 23, 2011, 01:37:45 AM »

That makes some sense; QA has the most outsider view of the lot, interacting a little with everyone, but not actually going in-depth with anyone, and usually not knowing how things get made. Well...them and producers, but producers have kind-of a manegerial role, where they actually have to get people to commit and schedule their time blocks, which naturally means they have a low view of everyone.

NotMiki · « **Reply #457 on:** August 23, 2011, 01:54:30 AM »

Funny, I would think QA would be more effective the more they knew about the process - knowing something about the programming might better teach them which places to poke and prod.

I think I'd probably find that image hilarious if I didn't fail to recognise over a third of the images.

As is it's still amusing.

Oh, it absolutely does. But then you might actually have to hire people with skills, and therefore give them a decent wage and decent working hours! And give them more than a temporary two-month contract!

(My current company actually treats QAs as a serious, long-term position. It makes me so happy).

Grefter · « **Reply #460 on:** August 23, 2011, 02:26:25 PM »

Seriously not a big shock jumping from where you were to a company with background in very long lasting MMOs. The difference in post deployment support is pretty much day and night there >_>

I figure at least MC would care about this, but Virtua Fighter 5 FS is coming to PSN/XBLA as a downloadable title.

Captain K. · « **Reply #464 on:** August 24, 2011, 03:59:01 AM »

I care also! But yeah, not until next year.

Also, Zenny, can you translate some of your comic? I'm guessing the corpse is asking for directions, but I don't understand what happens at the end to piss him off. Heh, that was very different reading on Ipad first (frame-by-frame, no GIF movement).

Cotigo · « **Reply #465 on:** August 24, 2011, 04:22:32 AM »

I don't speak Korean, so no.

Also I don't think it really matters.

Someone translated it on GameFAQs, but the whole topic got modded so I can't just copy/paste.

I remember it being something like:

Crazy-blood-lady: where's my baby?

Narrator: (oh fuck, oh fuck) Umm...she's over there *walks away*

Crazy-blood-lady: MY BABY'S NOT HERE *attacks*

Narrator: passes out

And they go on to explain that this is some ghost story relating to a pregnant woman who jumped out of a tall building and had twisted limbs and stuff. Or something like that; I'm probably not explaining it right.

Cotigo · « **Reply #467 on:** August 24, 2011, 02:48:37 PM »

Close enough. Just fucking scroll down, a'ight? It's just some trite horror story with a cool gimmick.

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #468 on:** August 24, 2011, 03:04:35 PM »

Zenny: That was actually pretty well designed.

Cap: Pretty much ANYTHING pisses off EDIT: ASIAN ghosts (guilty of not actually looking at the writing, and it bore similarity to a couple Japanese ghosts. So sue me.). Tell the truth? They kill you. Lie? They kill you. Don't answer? They kill you. Prefer Pepsi to Coke? They kill you. Drink Coke instead of Pepsi? They kill you. Etc.

Yeah, watch out: That ghost probably has really high APM when playing Starcraft!

Either that or she's in a K-pop girl band.
