Summer Movie Wager
Well the summer has started and five of the big contenders have been released. Guardians 3, Spider-Man, The Little Mermaid, Fast X and Transformers
With those occupying the top 5 slots at the moment (in that order) the score is currently as follows:
Dudesoft: 33 points
pianotm: 26 points
Frogge: 24 points
Darken: 20 points
Shinan: 19 points
kentona: 18 points
But the current points are pretty meaningless as in the coming month we are seeing The Flash (this weekend!), Ruby Gillman, Mission Impossible, Indiana Jones, Oppenheimer and Barbie. So the big 'uns are still on the way. (Oh and Asteroid City and Elemental too I guess)
However I know for my own list that The Little Mermaid did not perform to my expectations (#2 slot) and Spider-Man overperformed having already overtaken Mermaid despite being out for one week less. Fast X has also underperformed compared to what I expected, with it opening worse than the previous Fast movie. It is doing numbers internationally though but here in the movie wager international numbers are useless.
My hopes are now for Indy, but those are futile hopes...

What do you look for in games that you want to play?
I like turn based tactics. If a (tactical) game is shown to me to have suppressive fire and actual usable smoke grenades I'm also immediately more interested.
If there's a slightly grander scale (for example there's a strategic overlay with or without turn based tactics attached) I also like logistics. Often somewhat simplified logistics to be sure, but I like the idea of having to resupply and keep track of rations and all that good shit.
And sometimes I just like Rocket League.

Do RPG Maker devs dream of 2k3 games?
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Autorun events getting stuck in faulty switches... I watched three-tile rules break near the edge of the maps. All those moments will be lost in time, like playing in debug mode... Time to gammak.
Censorship in Video Games
author=Red_Nova
There is an artistic merit to replacing swear words with symbols: comedic relief. To me, at least, it's funnier to hear words bleeped out or censored than the actual words because it implies that the character is so foul mouthed or raunchy that even the game itself has to step in and apologize for all the swearing.
Yeah. I fairly recently found out (by recently I mean in the last ten years) that South Park uncensor their episodes on some platforms and I've occasionally stumbled upon it uncensored and the fact is that it's just not as funny when it isn't bleeped.
But I do still think that "toggles" make it worse. In the same way that a free 2 play game with a cosmetics only season pass make the game worse. It is not in a tangible "this is literally worse" way. But it is in the way that the game is designed around facilitating and enabling the thing.
As I said, if you can cut out content and it doesn't affect the game, then did that content need to be in there in the first place? And if you can add content and it doesn't affect the game, does it need to be added at all?
I think it's similar with removing/adding coarse language or gore. The game is designed around one thing being around and if you design it around both things being around it will inevitably lead to a worse game. Not in a measurable way, but in that "feel" way. One way of playing will be inferior. (Like how South Park is worse without the bleeping)
Censorship in Video Games
One one hand I think that self-censorship in the form of "do we really need all this gore in this game" and removing it to appease a broader audience is alright. On the other hand I also think it is a bit annoying to have to "compromise" one's vision by removing that stuff.
And perhaps even compromise a vision even more by adding options in the settings to remove some of the things. Like... Did it really have to be there at all if it is so easily removable?
I guess what I'm really thinking is that it's terrible to have to make the... censorable stuff so easily removable that it can be taken out by flipping a switch. There was never any reason to include that stuff in that case.
There should be more games where this is just an integral part and have the proper rating and warnings instead.
I'm just not a fan of being able to set gore to "minimum" or "maximum" because that makes the gore completely useless (I remember for Warhammer Total War there was some Gore DLC, which I thought was the stupidest thing) Or the same for nudity, if a game will not be impacted by removing the nudity, maybe the nudity wasn't necessary. Instead there should be more games where removing the nudity would in fact impact the experience.

Summer Movie Wager
It is now Friday and Guardians 3 opens in the americas. So this is officially closed. Though you can join late, but if you win with a late entry it will be counted as a tainted win :P
Summer Movie Wager
Video Game Critic Wager 2023
Jedi Survivor seems like it is basically unplayable on PC but fortunately reviewers might have played it on consoles because it's still scoring okay :D
Summer Movie Wager
Only a couple of days to get in your picks. After the fourth of May (may it be with you) you aren't allowed in anymore (or if you are allowed in you'll be in the league of latecomers and you scores won't be as impressive)
So make those lists guys.
And I've seen some early Guardians 3 reviews. Mostly skimmed star ratings, trying not to read too much in case of spoilers but... It seems like it's another MCU movie :P

I think a game page is what you're looking to make. The forums are not the place to advertise your games.
