If it wasn't for the amazing backwards compatibility, I'd sell off both my Xbox Ones, and tbh, I probably still should. The last time I even touched a 360 was 2016, and aside from Halo 5, every first party game I'll want to play is coming to PC.

If only Microsoft would release backwards compatibility that for PC '3' Then I could keep playing SSX 2012

The winner is not L or even Lao, none other than the cute techie Lin Lee Koo. What can I say, she's really a nice character. Except for the tired gags of wanting to boil Tatsu like a potato.

Now this is going to obscure unless you go out of your way to recruit optional units on your Xenobalde X missions. Your choices are Alexa, Celicia, Frye Cristoph, and Boze. Unless you put a lot of time into the game, then chances are that you never recruited these guys.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Fan favorites like H.B. should be coming soon.

I'd have to go with Celica.

I nevertheless liked Frye very much. Boze's an all right guy, but not exactly what I'd call great. Alexa's pretty cool, but when you do her first two affinity missions, she comes off as the girl who can't do anything right.

I think this is a good example of free speech at work.

Jon is free to say whatever is on his mind, but the right to free speech is limited to that. It won't protect him from the consequences of what he says.

The important thing to remember here is that actions have consequences.

Free speech is only free speech because there are consequences. It has to go both ways.


Edit: Dammit all, Fal.

Saw this on Gamexplain.

Unsurprisingly the comment section is a cesspool of "Playtonic are triggered cuck SJWs" and stuff about free speech (even tho that has consequences).

Yeah youtube comments are generally dumb.

 

[Opossum]

What's silly is the fact that some people won't buy the game now. Like, Jon was a bonus at most.



Now if they took Shovel Knight out of the game...

They're idiots.

Not because of their ethics. I agree Jon is a dumb dumb.


But this is enough reason for Jon to sue.

They could be in real trouble here. They need to give him his money back.

I don't know if I should be sad or laugh at Jontron due to the fact that his unecessary politic bull**** talk have bitten him in the foot. Tough, we all know that Jontron is the bird.


Also, I haven't posted much lately. But it's because I am super sick right now. I am either too cold or too hot and sleeping is basically impossible. It make night living nightmare to survive until the dawn.

I think I'm gonna try to trade away my Dreamcast and games to get money for Switch stuff. Or just trade it for Switch stuff

While, most of all, I want to say "good job, Playtonic", I can smell all the "sjws aren't accepting of others views and are ruining games wahwah" comments in the distance

I don't think they would drop him from the game just like that without knowing what they're getting themselves into.

At least that's what logic tells me.

much like Pdp and his joke, huh
and you saw how many people said that people dropping him was dumb, right? You cant say one person getting dropped from something is dumb and not say the other is dumb too, thats being a hypocrite

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I hope for their sake, you're right.

I just foresee a potential court case.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

This one was a surprise. Turns out more people want Alexa over the fan favorite Celica. Unless they just find her blatant sexual attraction to Skells so amusing as a character trait. Oh well.

These are the next batch of recruits from Xenoblade X, most being female ironically. Your choices are H.B., Hope, Mia, and Murderess. I'm placing my bet on the blonde Drill Sergeant Nasty ***** with a hunger for blood.

This will be on for four hours just to let you know.

With Pewds it was a dumb joke that went too far.

What Jon did was blatantly racist/white nationalistic. Playtonic likely didn't want that damage to their brand.

You can smell them because they're already here.

Shame, hope jon gets paid back, They might as well pay him back or asses are getting bit back

 

[Opossum]

Also because they likely haven't showered.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You got my attention, tumblr

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I never bought Yooka Laylee in the first place so I don't really care

 

[Wario Bros.]

Did we ever find out which minor character Jon was going to voice, out of curiosity?

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Who's said that though?

 

[praline]

I don't think so.

 

[Deleted member]

Meanwhile, in contrast to Youtube's comment section, Tumblr is celebrating the news
I hope this makes Jon realise that his words have consequences and learn from the experience. Grow into a better person and ****, you know?

You can smell them because they're already here.

Me: "What's this smell of burning?"
You: "That's because your hair is on fire, you idiot"

 

[Ivander]

Who's said that though?

I'm pretty sure it's mockery/satire or whatever I'm looking for. The whole, "Fool! You'll bring them all to us!" "They were already here." deal?

 

[Schnee117]

Who's said that though?

I'm talking in general, not in this thread.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Jontron getting cut from Yooka-Laylee is going to hurt him on a personal level. Hopefully this does end up as sort of a reality check for him. I want to love him, he brought me so much joy and laughter over the years, but he has to realize there are consequences for what he said.

Me personally, I'm still looking forward to the game, with or without Jon.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I do hope they pay jon back though. Ignoring everything else, you cant just drop a person and not pay them back for working with you, no matter how much you hate them

I dont care about the game and I still like Jon so I dont have much to say on that

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'll be the first to say what Jontron said was wrong, stupid and at times ridiculous.

But I'm starting to see some spite going on in this thread.

Let's not do that, folks.

I should be writing an essay I have for next week but instead I'm here looking at memes aka a student's greatest weakness

I do hope they pay jon back though. Ignoring everything else, you cant just drop a person and not pay them back for working with you, no matter how much you hate them

I dont care about the game so I dont have much to say on that

Really though, they probably had something in the contract like "no ****ing up our image"(paraphrased) because stuff like this could actually hurt the game
It's like with celebrity scandals, companies aren't going to associate with people who will bring their name down

People having different political positions is a reason to hate them. Especially if they are successful

There's more evidence pointing toward Jon having been doing volunteer voice over instead of paid voice over. It was just a set of casual tweets that let Jon have a part at all.


He more than likely wasn't paid to begin with.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Jon offered the role rather than reaching the backer goal?

If he did pay Playtonic money, I do agree they should pay him back. It would be pretty sketchy not to, even with the recent controversies.

Why is it a surprise? Tanned-skin grills are best grills.

...With some exceptions.

Still, pay the man is money back if he paid money to them

From the little episodes I saw on toonami, I think Im liking lord beerus..s character

Beerus definetly is a great dude; he knows when to be comedy gold or pure bad***.

It's like the universe suddenly decided I should be a lazy ****** for today

Well, no, if he disrespected their contract, they don't have to pay him back.
And there's also the fact he may not have paid anything at all.
And yeah, he likely backed the game up but he did to kickstart the game and not to get his voice in, in which case there's no deason to give him his money back
