Article paragraph - "“The situation is different for games [than movies], as they are downloaded to the hard drive, that means the game data remains on your own hardware. However, if things shift to streaming in the future, that won’t be the case anymore.”"
Review for the game - Dangerous High School Girls in Trouble! Text - "When you play this game, all your Call of Dudebro friends will ask you why you're playing a game about high school girls. They might even make some sort of lolicon joke. This is because they are boys and you are a man. A man can play a game about high school girls without feeling his masculinity is threatened."
ああ、そういうエピソードもあったと言いますね。 漫画やアニメ、ゲームで情緒を養うのを間違いとは言いませんが、それはあくまで『その枠組の内側で得たもの』に過ぎず、 地に足を付け、血と汗を流し、苦悩と葛藤を経て細やかな喜びの中で生きるリアルな人間の感性には届かないのです。 Oh, right, they say there were episodes like that too. I wouldn't call it wrong to nurture emotions through manga, anime, or games, but after all, it's merely something "gained within the confines of that framework," and it can't quite reach the real human sensibility of living grounded in reality, shedding blood and sweat, going through anguish and inner conflict, and finding joy in the subtle moments.

OG tweet :- Kazutaka kodaka/小高和剛 @kazkodaka You trick the company, you know. If you want to do creative work while being inside the company, it's impossible if you're just obeying the company. Pretend to obey and still do what you want to do. Use the company. Well, if anything happens because of that, it's the fault of the guy who hired you lol QRT :- I love the story of how Hideki Kamiya, who was supposed to be handed the new Biohazard project by Shinji Mikami, ended up making Devil May Cry with that Biohazard budget instead.

First of all, great video on hack n' slash gameplay style. Now some personally silly stuff * breaths in * I'd like to go parallel-y to another line of thought. Ever thought of whether you are playing a game wrong or different than how the devs envisioned/didn't emphasize on that much? Because how I experienced these games are a child were playing them as action-adventure games. As in, God of War style. 2nd mission in DMC3SE kicked my ass, so the game turned down the difficulty for me to easy. I rarely got an S, and conserved the green healing stones/gems like a survival horror game. I also played DMC4 on Human, though I got more S this time since Nero was very casual friendly. But I love these games to death. They are a big part of my teenage years because their style, aesthetics and tone. It was after playing Castlevania Aria of Sorrow and Rogue Legacy did the idea of "skillful play" clicked with me. "Being able to overcome an enemy that is already defeated". I went with this ideology in Metal Gear Rising, and OH BOI it was satisfying. All bosses test you on the skills you've learned in the game and test you on that, with final one being the ultimate challenge. My jaw dropped when it defeated it. Then playing the game on harder difficulty with no damage and it suddenly became a whole new game, because how much I needed to shift my strategy to ensure I don't get hit. On another unrelated note, I HIGHLY recommend watching LambHoot's video on God of War 3. He makes some fascinating observations on action games.
