And then they became the games industry's equivalent of a James Bond villain: massively evil and incredibly rich
16:58:15 Death Penalty
I can only assume this Batman comic came forth as the result of some kind of fetish on the author's part.
16:58:00 Whiplash
I just learnt this is a thing, and was thinking "Pfft, that doesn't sound hard" until I got down to the health risks section
16:57:51 Death Penalty
More or less. Their first twenty years in business they basically just published truckloads of games you've never heard of.
16:54:07 Whiplash
"relevant" in this case meaning "doing more than just putting out a Madden game every year"?
16:53:12 Death Penalty
I think for about as long as they've been relevant, they've been dicks.

16:50:38 Whiplash
Were EA always massive dicks? I have trouble remembering what happened yesterday so I'm a little uncertain of their early days
16:48:44 Death Penalty
True enough, but the little developer that the publisher is screwing over with this only has two games, both of the Metro games.
16:47:39 Whiplash
Having a bad rep doesn't seem to have done EA too much damage
16:45:24 Death Penalty
But yeah, I do agree that this paying for a difficulty setting is pretty lame. That's really not going to be good for that developer's reputation.
16:43:18 Whiplash
I figured I was bashing buttons as quick as I could anyway
16:42:52 Whiplash
Oddly enough Bayonetta was a game where I couldn't be bothered
16:41:58 Death Penalty
But for shooters, the only ones in recent memory that I've bothered beating on high difficulty are Bioshock Infinite and Halo 4.
16:41:30 Death Penalty
Bayonetta is a game where I find myself going back and replaying levels to try to get that pure platinum rating.
16:41:27 Whiplash
And that's why I'm unemployed
16:41:18 Whiplash
Gotta take risks to get ahead in life
16:41:10 Whiplash
Total lack of ambition
16:40:44 Death Penalty
Achievement points are where it's at anyway.
16:39:33 Whiplash
You'll never achieve any platinum trophies in life with an attitude like that
16:39:09 Death Penalty
Really though, it's more about economy of time. A game has to be really really good to compel me to play through on a more challenging difficulty, thereby artificially extending my play time and bogging me down at difficulty choke points.
16:38:27 Death Penalty
I'm ascared of being challenged. ;;
16:37:32 Whiplash
And I say that as someone who used to go through the first play through of every game on Easy
16:37:16 Whiplash
Pfft, sissy
16:36:52 Death Penalty
It's also not quite paying for multiplayer, another thing that's already been done. But then, I don't consider hard mode super essential. I usually stick with normal.
16:35:31 Whiplash
YouTube makes paying for endings annoying but avoidable, paying for hard mode on the other hand...
16:32:08 Death Penalty
After that horseshit this hard mode for five bucks thing seems like nothing.
16:31:52 Death Penalty
I find it a bit hard to get outraged about this after a bunch of games already tried to make me pay for endings.
16:29:22 Whiplash
I get it, piracy hurts and so does not getting a slice of used game sales, BUT THIS IS PRICE GOUGING
16:03:07 Jake
Goddamn, fuck this industry.
13:40:27 Agent Dunham
It's like if you bought an Uncharted game and you had a rock for a weapon and you had to pay $5 to use guns and "play the game as it's meant to be played"
13:06:22 Whiplash
I'm not even going to get the game but this is a bullshit precedent that could be set here
13:05:00 Whiplash
WHAT.
12:26:37 Dora
Oh dear...
12:10:34 Agent Dunham

12:09:48 Agent Dunham
Metro: Last Light's hard mode restricted to pre-order, $5 DLC otherwise.
08:40:28 Aurelia
Cowlick really really resembles Nanjo. It would help if we could see glasses but oh well.
08:39:59 Aurelia
Stupid sexy Akihiko
08:38:49 Ariana
Shadow Operatives need his sexy ass in their ranks.
08:38:35 Ariana
HE'S BE BETTER AS A SHIRTLESS MEMBER OF THE SO.
08:37:19 Aurelia
I dunno if he's in that picture thogugh
08:37:10 Aurelia
He's going to be a cop!
08:36:46 Ariana
Too bad Akihiko's done with them
08:36:39 Ariana
And well, Mitsuru is a "DUH", she founded it.
08:36:23 Aurelia
Yeah
08:34:27 Ariana
But Yukari's pose was so blatantly "Yukari".
08:34:17 Ariana
And, well, Junpei's hat.
08:34:14 Ariana
I think the P3 people were easier to pick apart because of their obvious poses
08:33:47 Aurelia
I don't know if Baofu would be in the Shadow Operatives. I didn't see a silhouette unless he cut his hair
08:33:04 Aurelia
lmao
08:32:51 Ariana
Yukino's better than that bitch.
08:31:14 Agent Dunham
aww yiss
08:30:46 Aurelia
Anna apparently gets better in EP. And has an ambiguous lesbian relationship with Yukino.
08:29:49 Ariana
Ew, Anna.
08:28:42 Aurelia
But it is a possibility.
08:28:35 Aurelia
I think she's out lezzing it with Anna.
08:28:27 Aurelia
I don't know about Yukino. Remember her memory was wiped. SHe wasn't involved in P2 EP
08:28:05 Ariana
I didn't see her silhouette, but do you think she may be in?
08:27:45 Ariana
What about Yukino?
08:27:41 Ariana
This is true.
08:27:38 Aurelia
Reiji is fucking poor and needs to support his wife and kid, so maybe. (Plus silhouette)
08:27:07 Aurelia
Maki is too busy being a therapist.
08:26:55 Aurelia
Eriko, aside from the silhouette, is a good candidate because even in her modelling career she still bothered to investigate the crap going on in P2.
08:25:37 Aurelia
Masao is a well-known artist but I don't know if that makes him a candidate or not.
08:25:14 Aurelia
I highly doubt Brown would be in it. He's a celebrity now and he likes it a lot.
08:24:22 Ariana
As long as fucking Mark and Brown aren't in, I don't care.
08:24:08 Ariana
Except I was hoping she'd ditch that ugly bob.
08:23:56 Ariana
Though, your pointing out Eriko being a possibility stuck with me.
08:23:25 Aurelia
Yeah I think they're the most obvious.
08:23:15 Aurelia
"What was that? I can't hear you over the sound of your monkey shit flinging"
08:22:47 Ariana
I still say Yukari and Junpei are obvious, given their poses in the photo.
08:22:24 Ariana
Oh man, me too.
08:22:19 Aurelia
I hope Nanjo is in it. So he can sass everyone out and slap any dissenters with his wallet.
08:22:08 Agent Dunham
Hah!
08:21:59 Aurelia
I want to know who the Shadow Operatives are.
08:21:14 Aurelia
To think some people named themselves after the Endurance run
08:21:05 Aurelia
Ew the fucking Charlie name
08:20:48 Ariana
I can't even pretend I care for it.
08:20:32 Ariana
Charlie Tunoku.
08:19:20 Agent Dunham
Always the true name.
08:18:21 Ariana
Ahahahahahaha, that would almost be worth it
08:17:38 Aurelia
If you call Yu "Faggot" and join the soccer team, one of the guys will say "Hey Faggot"
08:17:25 Ariana
Ugh, you're one of THOSE.
08:17:10 Agent Dunham
What? No, I went for a pun.
08:16:50 Aurelia
Shannon McShan
08:16:39 Ariana
I'M ALL EARS.
08:16:36 Ariana
So what'd you name him, then, Shannon?
08:15:59 Aurelia
Just like how Tatsuya is the P2 canon name.
08:15:45 Aurelia
Yu is the canon name. Deal with it
08:15:32 Agent Dunham
Pfft, "Yu".
08:15:32 Aurelia
God I hope Nyarlathotep takes over Teddie's body and kills him off later. Shit I hate Teddie.
08:15:22 Ariana
Teddie was a pretty little girl. Otherwise, an annoying fuckwad who needed to wad his fuck elsewhere.
08:14:58 Ariana
Well, apart from Yu and Ai.
08:14:54 Aurelia
Teddie was wearing a bra
08:14:50 Ariana
THAT HAVING BEEN SAID, HE AND YU ARE MY OTP.
08:14:40 Ariana
It's bad when his natural hair looks like a dye-job.
08:14:31 Ariana
God, that black hair.
08:14:27 Aurelia
I-it's just his appearance.
08:14:11 Agent Dunham
Even Golden ending Kanji?
08:13:23 Ariana
Naoto's not bad, she was just boring to me... sorry ;;
