    "Fact: We all know Nomura is a hell of a fox."

    ...Respectfully disagree-*brick'd*

    Didn't Nomura get the idea for 358/2 Days from a fanfic or something? I dunno, that's how I heard it, could just be a wild rumor. Wish he'd made a Sorrow of Magpies game instead AHEM but yeah, the original point is interesting - and if we were dealing with someone who's known for making every second count, making every gesture and expression meaningful, I'd say it's definitely not for no reason that the Guardian stops for a second and holds out his hand like that. Sadly, no matter what other credit you choose to give him, Nomura is not a master author; this would have to be planned as of Birth by Sleep, and I don't believe he's operating on that level from that far back in the story. But I do believe he'd make it canon now that somebody's thought it up. So I think the real answer is: If it's out there, it's fair game.

    Welp, I just got smacked in the mouth. Decided to preorder, it offered to ship it for me, haha. Except I'm paying ten bucks extra for a dude to drive less than a mile, so nothx.

    Ogee. That's... Yeah, that explains it. Sorry, I made the dumb American assumption. :B

    Aw jeez don't make me do the whole spiel again I went crazy in the one thread

    I always used to identify the "old vs. new" argument as "pre-Sony vs. post-Sony," where VI and VII were the last of the former and the first of the latter, respectively. And in that argument I'd always unflinchingly say, both. I love nearly every game I've played in the series up to X, and I even regard some of the more universally disliked spinoffs fondly. But now I feel like XII and beyond, when Squaresoft became Square Enix, represent a distinct third era - one which, as I've detailed at length before, doesn't hold up subjectively or even objectively from my point of view. XII itself was a great idea marred only slightly by executive meddling... That and I personally didn't get into it due to certain mechanics, but I don't exactly hold that against it. And XIII... Well, I've said enough about that game to last a lifetime. I have started to miss the old days - even the ones I didn't experience until much later.

    Welp, Libre basically obliterated this one. Also, I find it funny that this guy starts by wondering aloud why people care so much about the politics of used games on his channel and in his comments, since he's a PC gamer and the PC market basically doesn't have those anymore... and then sets aside twenty-odd minutes to explain why he cares so much about the politics of used games. Uh.

    One of the arguments is that the gaming industry needs protection from the second-hand market because used games aren't like used cars or books - they're either functional or they're not, so the cheaper used game is basically as good as the full-price new one. Well, no, that's wrong, for several reasons. For one, the premise doesn't hold up; it is very possible for used games or consoles to function poorly, because they're only partially digital. He only uses GameStop as an example of a used games market, but there are other places with less-than-stellar quality control, where you may find games that take a lifetime to load vital components or incur frequent glitches on certain levels. (And I don't know where he gets the idea that places will buff your disc for two bucks, maybe that's a privilege we suburbian bumpkins can't afford, but I've never heard of it.) It becomes less common with time, but it's far from phased out...

    ...except in certain cases, which still debunk his claim. There are ways to obsolete the second-hand market that don't restrict the consumers' freedom, such as... well, everything the PC is doing. A fully digital marketplace doesn't need protection from used games because there's no point to them. Why bother hunting for a used PC game when you can already get a brand-new, fully functional copy for a fraction of the price of console retail?

    Basically, if you're talking about the games industry as a whole, you're not just talking about discs with stuff on them; you're talking about the consoles that play those discs, and the games that are all stuff and no disc. No matter what, the argument doesn't hold up. Either you're still dealing with a piece of hardware that can still go faulty and thus is still of notably lesser quality than one that's hot off the shelf, or you're 100% virtual, in which case the fresh goods are ultra-cheap and never out of stock.

    This industry does not need coddling, it needs to beef up, get over its senility and make something grand like it used to. The game that's so good, nobody can wait to buy it - that game doesn't have to worry about second-hand sales.

    If I'm not mistaken that's pretty close to the actual process, if grossly oversimplified. No specific program is required to turn drawings into high-res sprites, but it basically has to be done by hand. So yeah, it takes a long time and a ton of effort.
