True equality isn't possible, be it gender or otherwise. That being said, it's a good thing to strive for it. As far as feminism is concerned, I mostly agree with Keyrock. Though even if this was the original feminist movement we were talking about, I doubt I would very much agree or support them nowadays. As far as my country is concerned I don't see any big disparity in how women and men are treated (in fact in some pretty important things they have preferential treatment), the differences that do remain are basic ones and I'm not so sure those should or can be changed. This is all, of course, prejudiced by the fact that I'm a man, but I don't think I'm wrong in this case.

Realism doesn't matter at all... What you are talking about is challenge, but even that doesn't matter. What matters in the end is that the game is fun for you.

Finished Amagi Brilliant Park, and I found it refreshing after that other anime I talked about... Standard feel good anime, though not bad in any way.

DPC?

Watched Guilty Crown. Anyways great anime. Also here is the list of anime I started watching. So far I haven't watched an anime I didn't like or at least finish from it. Added it to the list. Hope it lives up to the reviews.

It's like asking if you like apples and oranges. Well I like them both. It's nice to have diversity. Though I'm finding most modern game give me motion sickens, until I get used to them. If I had to chose though, I think I would go for the realism, because that will eventually bring us to indistinguishably realistic graphics and that in turn will make for some cool ****.

From all my time on these board, I got a distinct feeling that most of the key devs don't really enjoy IE (or at least not anymore).

Gonna try it next. Thanks for this, great anime. I really liked it, really, really liked it. Unlike Hataraku Maou-sama!, which is light hearted, Kyousougiga really has some depth to it. Got any more recommendations? Doesn't have to be slice of life, though I wouldn't mind more of it!

Gonna try it next.

Finished it and I must say I really liked it, hope they do a season 2 of this. I usually don't watch anime as I got feed up some time ago and I prefer manga, but I must say this one hit the sweet spot, I think I'm going to try looking for more series to start.

I came across a AMV on youtube and for some reason I liked what I saw. It's a slice of life anime mostly, though there is some fantasy action. I'm on episode 10 of 13 right now and so far I really like it, I had a bunch of honest laughs while watching it. Hataraku Maou-sama!

Well they won't come out and say "You get what you paid for!".

Uh, that kind of backfired, I wasn't talking about you, if we really need to get specific I was talking about PrimeJunta.. As for Grognard, I got a distinct feeling like that Josh used it as a derogatory term. As for apologizing, that was just the vibe I got from this thread (and a little ranting on my part). As for being disrespectful, I think the regulars here are pretty ok in that regards. I mean they give as much as they take, but they would much rather get their point across then sling personal insults. I think people here are confusing how new people act (on both sides) with how some familiar people on this forum are behaving. I don't even see the biggest offenders on this forum anymore. I mean what do you guys expect will happens when the game releases? No matter how the game turns out, I will bet you that things on this forum will get wild for a few months at the least.

The sad thing is that people who are selling peace in this debate, are the same people who are hostile towards people like Stun and Me (people who don't agree with the changes made). A picture is being painted that we are hostile towards the people on the other side of the debate right of the bat, when we are just returning what we are given. As for offending and being abusive towards the devs, I have seen no such thing from Stun or any of the regular posters that are Grognards as Josh called them...btw where was his apology for that? I have read a few of his opinions pieces towards us and they were not at all polite or pandering. He was being honest with his opinion, why should we be anything less? You people are confusing blunt criticism for outright hostility... Either way there are people here from different cultures and not everyone has the same outlook on what is honest and what is rude. What you consider polite, I consider as pandering. If you are willing to do it, I am not. As always they can take or ignore my criticism, but in the end I have always said what I thought was good for this game and for that I am not sorry.

Ah yes, now I remember, your right it really took of when he made that statement. LoL, I really wonder if any of the devs tried to read the Romance thread or were they like, "NOPE".

I think there should be a penalty. For an example when your character gets knocked out, he should die. Now I know this is a radical idea, but I think it could work.

Ugh, as far as I know xp threads were around since the KS, I don't even remember anymore it's all a blur now. As for the Romance I don't think I even opened one, maybe when it started on Computer and Console subforum, anyways I though it was a parody thread wasn't aware that there were flamewars going on, lol.

I get what you are saying, but I don't agree on the silent treatment as far as forum discussions are concerned. Especially because key devs are having them elsewhere. But then again, this is nothing new, this topic has risen a few times since the KS and nothing has changed. It makes a world of difference when you can defend your point of view in a discussion with the guy who is supposed to take that feedback and put it in a game. If he is certain that he is right about the decision he made then it should be easy to defend that decision in a public forum. Sure there are people who only like to whine and add nothing constructive to the discussion (and I may be one of them in the eyes of the devs) but they are all to easily ignored, there are still people who put some pretty big effort in to making this game better and they should be engaged in a discussion, I am sure that nothing but positive things would result from that. Now I'm not saying that they should spend all their time here, but I'm pretty sure time could have been made since the KS for some semi-regular interactions. You +1ed Leferd. As for the word toxic, I got that from the flamewars you mentioned, those 2 are pretty interconnected. I should have quoted flamewars to avoid confusion. As for the rest, I made no comment on it because it's not true, they have time to post elsewhere. No one is asking them to spend the whole day on the forums talking to us. So did he mean the one or the other then? Make up your mind.

We are usually "toxic" (I don't think you guys relay know what toxic is) towards each other. Very rarely are we outright hostile towards the devs, we called them out on their bull**** yes, but we are not talking **** just for the sake of it. No one likes to hear someone tell them they are wrong, but in the end we giving our time to make the game better, some more then others, but still. I think criticism is much more useful then blind praise. There are exceptions I admit, but I haven't seen those people post in a while. I get that, I really do (work in QA and have NDAs of my own), but still if you chose not to exercise those freedoms then you might as well not have them.

But that's always there, how does the KS change it?

I had that ****, down to a second. In 1v1 the point is making them think that you are not rushing or you spam fighters and harass his mothership. In FFA it's easy as pie, you just pull out to the rim and let them fight amongst them self. To this day I regret not recording a match I had against a fellow rusher. Can you imagine a fight between max unit cap fleets, it was glorious. The best thing was, by the time we killed each other we had a fleet of similar size ready for another battle. I think I won in the end because he came at me from below and I managed to turn my capitals in time. The debree field from the battle was so big. Maaaan, I'm really looking forward to this.

Then why did you refer to this community?

Then why state differently, that was the whole point of this debate. You talk about endless debate and what have you,but still you spin the yarn.

Sure, but the way he said it in the stream, is a pretty roundabout way of stating it. Still doesn't change the fact that they discuss the game on others forums in a week more then they do here since the KS. Also that would mean that we the critics are not at fault and I just find that hard to believe. /s You do realize that those are updates, not discussions? Know the difference?

Maybe it's the option to do so that is freeing for him. You know, even if he doesn't want to there is the option to do so. Or he is out there on some forum (Obzidian.net) sharing the guts of the game with a handful of people and thinking to him self "Why are there so little fans willing to discuss the game...". Runs off to check if Obzidian.net really exists.
