Your ship has really sailed
You started this project a long time ago and have less than nothing to show for it. Square Enix isn't going to reinvent their franchise, sorry
You've released multiple videos promising clarity in the future while extolling ambiguous virtues like "magic" and "immersion"
You talk about things like the use of speech bubbles and default face with no actual understanding of why it's done. You write off everything lacking in KH as lazy when the real answer is that there's not enough money.
And you can't just add more money, because you're not guaranteed to actually make that money back
and making an account just to advertise your stuff? Pretty lame
(also lol about modern games apparently being on graphical par with animated movies)

Happy anniversary, Mr. Hay
You're really swell and okay
It's seven years to the day
Take the night off
Let's Play

that rendition of Dearly Beloved is great what's wrong w/ you

You need money to realize a lot of ideas, the brilliant and cheap ones are few and far between

They're talking about BBS, for one thing, but even with KH2... I find it hard to believe something that ran fine on the PS2 is pushing the PS3, but with PSP it becomes even less likely

This seems incredibly unlikely

No, you make use of the resources as the artist sees fit. If you can enter the art exhibit for free, and they say you're allowed to take pictures, it's fair game.
If you have to pay a fee to enter, and you aren't allowed to take pictures, you're wrong. There's no way around that

So now you bring 3D printing into the deal. And that's the thing, do you not SEE how ****ing impractical it is to say everyone is owed something for free? If you 3D print the car, why would the car company make the car in the first place? If a whole bunch of people do, and suddenly cars are barely selling, they lose the funding they need to make new, different or better cars.
You take an artist, trying to do something using their talents to make a living, and you say "You know what? I am owed the ability to have your thing, but you don't deserve my money. You have deemed that this thing you create be accessed in this way, but I'm BETTER than that, I am entitled to your thing because technically it's not stealing. Sure, I'm taking your product and giving you nothing, but lol it's supply and demand!

no, it's not equivalent, because a person is taking a product that they put time and effort into making. They have deemed it costs money and you are saying 'lol no, because I wouldn't have bought so they didn't lose any money'
if you WANT something, you have to pay what it's WORTH. Just because there are infintie copies doesn't mean you suddenly are given the right to pay whatever you want. Want it? Buy it. Can't afford it? LEARN TO LIVE WITHOUT IT
What job do you work at? How would you feel if you only made money on the off chance someone decided you were 'worth' it?

That's a ridiculous notion. f you can't afford something, you GO WITHOUT IT. An artist needs to make a living, you don't get to pay them if you FEEL like it, they're providing you with a SERVICE. A person isn't allowed to go and steal a car because they can't afford it. You can't go to a store and take what you want. Being digital doesn't suddenly wave a person's RIGHT to be PAID for their work

Probably because that's not a counter in the first place. You don't put in DRM to increase sales, you put it in to avoid losing them. Sure, maybe with DRM that game would still have sold 144 units... but those 50,000 people aren't entitled to having the game in the first place

Jik the dog

Except if you look at stats, piracy is barely an issue, and I highly doubt any major company doesn't actually know this
But you know what it does let them do? Manage your digital rights. They can use piracy to get an early foot in the door and change the standard for what we accept as digital ownership

if piracy increases, the increases the justification companies can use to include DRM.

there is if it increases piracy

The idea that we need these serious stories for any reason than variety is, quite frankly, juvenile. It's the attitude that led to stuff like Shadow the Hedgehog or Deadlight. You don't need a dark depressing serious story to get invested in characters, to learn valuable lessons, to be immersed, or whatever. In fact most stories that are less concerned with being gritty and serious work on a much stronger level. They KNOW their heavy hitting stuff will hit hard, so they don't bother trying to make EVERY moment show you how dark and bleak things are. Because that's more realisitc. Life is full of variety, and when things are less serious, we tend to see a more full spectrum of humanity.

Immersion is one of the most overhyped things in gaming. And the fact that people think there's a secret recipe to immersion is just kinda ridiculous. When you start referring to your player character as 'you' not Shepard, or Mario, or Ezio, or Sonic, or Master Chief, you're immersed. If you look at a screen and see a health bar and think "welp, there goes my immersion" you mgiht as well be saying the same thing about he character being amde of polygons, having voice actors, beign able to pause, respawning if you die and all of the mnay, many other unavoidable video game things

There isn't really a sliding scale of graphics to AI though, the reason we don't have better AI is because making good AI is HARD. You have to preempt whatever you think the player might do, and make sure none of those contradict other commands you haev for the AI in different contexts. The more complex you make the AI, the more likely it is to blow up in your face in some unforeseen way
I actually felt Mass Effect 3 did a good job of remedying that problem. There were negative outcomes to what were described as good decisions, and positive ones for what was described as renegade. It's the only way you'll be saving Kelly Chambers, for one thing

sorry man, it's just that you have the power of the power of the nova force, the power of the n-n-nova force

Going to the topic of you know... the topic
Youtube comments suffer from Nova Syndrome. The moment most people start jhaving intelligent discussion they stop themselves and go "The spamzone youtube comments section isn't really the place to talk about something seriously"
There's plenty of perfectly good youtube comments, but the general consensus is that good comments don't belong on youtube, so the people that make them stop themselves
