I am a bleeding heart dude so I hate to see people lose jobs no matter what. Like in my ideal world even a studio that is dropping utter dogshit games just keeps going and releases something that redeems it and I love. But I am gonna talk about Bioware.

I was one of those dudes who fell for Anthem. You can imagine just how bitter I was by what had gone on with it and how much I was suckered and lied to about how it would be fixed. For a while I even blamed EA as the reason it happened, until I read the Kotaku article on it and realized it was all Bioware. I still came out of it sympathetic to the devs on a personal level but I think at that point I sort of lost love for Bioware as a studio. I used to stan for them, but after I couldn't trust them to deliver.

This is nothing to do with go woke go broke fwiw. That's just reactionary nonsense which shouldn't be trusted as it's peddled by grifters. My complicated feelings on say Bioware is more of a "spurned fan" kinda thing. Like I was deeply annoyed with Bioware for years after Anthem and now they're gone. I wasn't losing sleep, but if you pressed me on them I'd certainly give a rather negative opinion. I feel for every individual dev, but the studio is more like me knowing someone wasn't who they used to be.

I genuinely believe there isn't some grand narrative design at Capcom that the Remakes are pursuing. For every change made to bring the story in line to one consistent vision there'll be something out of utter left field they'll add then that sends it off track again.

I would be shocked if they think about the long term story of the setting to the degree we do (Lore-inclined RE players anyways). But maybe the Spencer reveal in Requiem just has me particularly jaded on it. I know the claim is 0 and Veronica will, but they may very well decide otherwise or add something that changes everything by the time we see those two. But again that could be my bias over the Spencer change tailoring how I see things hence.

Off the topic of story I am more hyped for RE5Make than any other so I do hope they find the will. I keep threatening my friend that we'll play it when it's remade.

I went looking. The only name I can find is the Huffman family and three days ago on their YouTube channel there is a video of the Dad very much alive.

Here is the channel on YouTube

>Also I'm not getting personal. The first person here to attempt that is you calling me caustic. I disagreed with your points and attacked them directly. Take a page out of your own book and make take a step back and breathe.

When I say caustic I am saying you're being rude. And I am not the first person to call you rude. Another dude called you obnoxious in a comment and you told another guy quote "you don't understand tanks" which comes across as very dismissive. I would say it's obvious you have a rather offensive manner of argumentation.

>That is reflective of a very high level of unreliability which is directly conflicting with your claim.

But it isn't though. The article again literally quotes it was more reliable than the Panzer IIIs and IVs. The readiness rates are the rates in which tanks are operational. It's a very good metric for sourcing unreliability. Not 1:1 sure but a good correlation. If a lot of tanks aren't ready in comparison to their peers in a given time frame it means they are under maintenance which is a sign of unreliability. Tiger readiness rates were comparable to the workhorse tanks like IIIs and IVs. Again the sources mention it was actually more reliable than them.

>With the exception of known childhood diseases, the Pz.Kpfw. VI has proven itself to be good. Already, it can be said that its reliability is superior to the Pz.Kpfw.III and IV. When routine care and maintenance are accomplished (that means one day for maintenance for three days in action), even the way it is now, the Tiger can achieve exceptional success.

Considering it was in suboptimal conditions I wouldn't call it unreliable. Very likely any tank the Germans fielded would have suffered badly in the situation the Tigers were pushed into in that extract. Like the IIIs and IVs. They were also early models. And again in the context of this situation it won't be strained by the issues that could cause a breakdown.

Grace stopped it but she had been hooked up for some time. There was blood around the place. Gideon would have had a very long time to check as she had after all been around. Hell his "I done it" is based on him getting a match on her blood with the medical report from ages ago. So they even had her medical documents too? No one not a single one noticed she didn't medically match a clone?

Again they had the clones genetic material in the first place, I find it very hard to believe they never once saw what a mature clone looked like. Impossible to believe actually. They were looking at Grace for years including when she was a child. I find it impossible to believe no one noticed she didn't look like the clones at all.

Either she's an unmodified clone or they rewrote something late late into development and it shows in the final product. Her arc of not being special isn't ruined by being a clone. Hell it's enhanced because it is Spencer trying to right the wrongs he's basically committed against a generation of girls like her. This is the one he'll let grow and make something of herself. The one that gets to live a normal life.

We only know in terms of reserves he was lower than Frieren but so was Aura. Age again he is titled Elder Sage and Macht knows him and is respectful. None of the Sages of destruction are referred to as Elders either to my knowledge. He's the only Demon referred to as Elder iirc.

We don't even know what the Sages of Corruption even were. Or if there was just one. Him. It's possible him being this position precluded him from being a Sage of Destruction etc.

We as I said earlier know little about and him and not much can be presumed. It's never even said the Sages are the strongest Demons to serve the Demon King. We've seen several Greater Demons of comparable powers to them that aren't Sages of Destruction

The biggest difference between Qual and the Sages we've seen is his powers are nowhere near as Complex. Maybe that's why he wasn't a Sage of Destruction. Solitar suggests that their magic was incomprehensible to humans. Qual's wasn't. Qual produced arguably one of the most simple and elegant spells to ever have existed. By that standard he can't be a Sage of Destruction.
