The Good Doctor Posted June 18 Author Share Posted June 18 19 minutes ago, ColonelKillaBee said: They're Japanese Celan xD They say stuff like "I will NOT fail" and make you believe it. And if they do, its sepukku You joke, but that is actually a factor. Japanese dev wages are lower so they’re easier to keep and layoffs are not as important when cost cutting is needed. They also have a very different corporate culture. The article talks about how Nintendo’s CEO took a pay cut just to avoid laying people off (imagine an American CEO doing that ), and how Fromsoft’s director respects him for it and would do the same. And in full context, what he actually said is something he can guarantee. He said he cannot say with 100% certainty that no layoffs will happen in the future, only that it won’t be while he is in charge. If things got bad, and he is being honest, then presumably he would be the first to go. Fortunately, Fromsoft is in an incredibly good place right now, financially, so we can’t check him on that. 2 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will absolutely lay people off if they have to. A number of American CEOs have cut their salaries to pay employees. I don't care, honestly, but the statement is still bullshit.

Unless he’d quit before doing it himself. It’s admittedly a very grandstandy thing to say, and probably BS, but he could very well mean it.

I meant game devs, and was in particular thinking of the big ones comparable to Fromsoft, but I should’ve been clearer. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColonelKillaBee Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 My statement stands, the US lost wars too lol, and quite frankly I'd trust a japanese ceo in the gaming industry that still has passion and soul, and love for what they do over an american one nowadays. My position was always that of all the developers who could say this, it's Miyazaki. @The Good Doctor I was only half joking lol, they have far more integrity than our business tycoons and ceos culturally. That said, Nintendo does get up to some shady business practices when it comes to what they will allow with copyright, and especially modded content. But, that's to other people, not their employees lol. Quote "Even the hardest dick must go flaccid." -Colonelkillabee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 There's also the part about how Japanese company's get around the much stricter labor laws by "reassigning" their employees they want to fire - but can't - to menial labor jobs like being a janitor to force you to resign, so its not all sunshine and rainbows That being said, I agree with the sentiment I think if there's someone we can trust keeping his word in the industry, it's Miyazaki. He's kept his word anyway for the last fifteen years of never adding an easy mode or dumbing down his stuff, despite immense pressure to do so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celan Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 @The Good Doctor While you've got HBO, The Jink is a pretty good true crime documentary. Not much else new that I can recommend. 1 Quote "If you know me you know I don't keep up with the times.

It’s actually surprising how little of a back catalogue I’m seeing on HBO right now, considering I haven’t been subscribed to it in two years.

BigBossBalrog Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I watched Furiosa: I really liked it Its really weird to see so much world building and context added to Fury Road though. There was so many good action scenes (the CGi was much better then I thought it was going to be). I liked the Revenge plot well enough, but the real star of the show was getting to see how Immortal Joe's Empire worked. It was like a day in the life of Caeser's Legion. For such a horrible person, he's shockingly pragmatic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elden Clown Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Question about the RE4 remake. Looking at getting it while it's on sale for $30, don't really wanna spend the extra $10 for the dlc atm. Is the dlc for playing after story anyways or does it take place during it? Don't want to feel like something is missing. I know they messed with the giant fight I believe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was off to see Furiosa because I have a friend who really wanted to go, but I ain’t a big fan of Fury Road and never really wanted to see more of this character, let alone a whole spinoff.

Don't want to feel like something is missing. I know they messed with the giant fight I believe. They take place concurrently but the DLC is intended to be played after you beat the game. You won’t be missing anything by holding off for now. 1 Quote * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elden Clown Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 @The Good Doctor Thank ya! I'll pull the trigger and go ahead and get it. Beat 2 and 3 remake, look forward to this one. This is the game that the OG caused one of my biggest fears I still have to this day. Being chased with nothing I can do about it, thanks chainsaw guy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
