I love that this thread is slowly developing into a Monkey Island sword fighting training course.

Dumplings from time to time bring their own (pool) noodles too.

I mean if we go further that way then a swimming pool is also a soup.

I remember how I was amazed when they showed that you could pick up shot arrows in Oblivion. Now I am not even going to click this link for whatever the drip feed information it contains. Seeing what Bethesda, Blizzard and Ubisoft have become, 17 years old me would be very disappointed in today’s game industry.

It’s one of those meth labs where the t is silent.

They basically weren’t aware of the game before it got GotY and some even got sour that it won more awards than Zelda. (There was even a forum thread named something like “[sad news] a game that no Japanese has heard of has won GotY” which was quite hilarious.)
Then after the launch many players are surprised of how much freedom the game provides, and enjoy multiplayer sessions, classic big explosions, Talk with Animals, Scratchy the dog and Grease + fire combo, etc. There were some players that dropped the game with weird reasons tho, from “not anime enough” to “I thought this was an action RPG??” and even “I like RPGs but not TRPGs (??)” I’d say BG3 seems to be more like 50/50 in Japan because how its structure is different from JRPG’s, but those who enjoy the game are really fond of it.

Soul like everything, but that’s just me being too clumsy for any challenge. I do hope some people could stop complaining other games being too easy tho. Not every game needs to be Soul likes.

Unfortunately Twitter/X is still the fastest way to find Japanese fan bases for almost everything. For example Baldur’s Gate 3 just got its Japanese launch last month, and it’s been fun to see their thoughts since they are not familiar with DND settings or CRPG all together. Many Japanese users I follow don’t like what Musk’s doing to Twitter as well, but they are also not sure about other platforms so it’s kind of it is what it is situation now.

We do love (edible) peanuts here so it’s at least 50/50 chance!

Well fun fact time I guess: in Taiwanese, bullets are sometimes refered as “peanuts.” “Be my guest and have some peanuts” can actually mean “I will shoot you dead.”

It’s crazy how these companies could manage to lose their goodwill overnight one by one these 2~3 years. It’s almost like they have some secret any% fiasco RTA competition or something.
