I've also been getting this. The gender drop-down is only broken on character pages for me, person pages still work fine, but has been that way for around the past year or so. The credits issue I've only noticed in the past month or so.

Thanks!

-taiko no tatsujin

Empty game page referring to the Taiko no Tatsujin series.

@madpierrot: The first one (Inuyasha) seems to be listed on AMV org as "How Can I Not Love You!!!!", by Liljlo2 of "Inuyasha fans 4 Life!!!".

The second one (Vampire Hunter D) also seems to be on the site, listed just as "Moonlight Shadow" by Pyro Wolf of Cyber Moon Studios. The song used does appear in DDR, it's a cover of Moonlight Shadow by the artist Missing Heart. The original Moonlight Shadow was by Mike Oldfield (like, MGSV's "Nuclear" Mike Oldfield.) Bonus trivia: for those who, like me, have listened to a statistically outlying amount of nightcore, the version of Moonlight Shadow that tends to show up in nightcore compilations is a sped-up version of Groove Coverage's cover.

For the sake of consistency I'll be using Live A Live (remake) for all examples in this post, however this behavior is Wiki-wide.

Most of the links on the "Game Details" sidebar work as intended, namely those which lead to a specific wiki page. The recursive name link, the platform links, the franchise link, and the developer and publisher links all lead to the expected pages when clicked.

However, the Genre and Theme fields, which are supposed to lead to wiki search results, instead only lead to the standard wiki view, showing all games. While I'm sure this worked at some point, it no longer does, and has not for a decent length (whatever change brought it about was almost certainly before my time.) The URL still has search refinements after the TLD (in this case "?genre=5" and "?theme=2"), however, manually inputting a search suggests that these should instead be "?game_filter[genre]=5" and "?game_filter[theme]=2" respectively.

They go over it a bit at the top of the first episode hosted on-site. It sounds like a combination of 8-4 looking for a new place to host a podcast at the time, both sides seeing an audience/mentality overlap, both having an interest, and there being past connections with some of the staff on each end.

I mentioned the issue a while back, and Rorie said he'd look into it. Seems about the same since then, although I don't doubt whatever is causing it is probably not a simple fix. As you mentioned, every page under the single-character title concept works fine, except the ones named "A" or "a".

@merxworx01: I don't think anyone here is under the impression that these things take no money to run, but the current solution The Game Awards uses undeniably has issues, and almost all of them are issues the show created for itself.

There's plenty of smaller ones, like it being questionable if a show like The Game Awards will bring the prestige Keighley seems to think it will, or what kind of conflicts of interest it creates by having so many promotions be video games, or portions of the gaming audience wanting prestige without wanting to themselves treat games with prestige, etc., etc..

But to me, the biggest issue by far has always been that the TGAs simply try to cram too much (awards and sponsors both) into a single show. The TGAs eclipse most other game awards in terms of awards presented, even those which have little else going on (the TGAs average 32 awards, whereas DICE has 23, BAFTA's game awards have ~15, and GDCA has 11.) Certainly, it's a valiant effort to recognize a wide range of categories, but does the show really need awards like "Most Anticipated Game", or "What YouTuber is popular this year?"

Then you add onto TGAs' award count 75+ minutes of promotions, 30-60 minutes of skits, performances, and the like, and it makes it impossible for any show to be less than ~3 hours. It creates the very problem that the Oscars have hit, where important awards are reduced to a second's mention, and it creates the issue I've heard everyone complain about for the last four TGAs of "this thing is too fucking long."

I appreciate games award shows, both as yearly recaps and as ways to give respect to development teams, and I fully recognize that these things can only happen when they have sponsors or some established backing to provide money. But at some point, it's started feeling like Keighley wants The Game Awards to be the Oscars and E3, and the end result is a show that's as exhausting as a day of E3 while simultaneously giving half of its awards less acknowledgement than they deserve. There's a line between Geoff Keighley doing a dumb sketch with [razor company mascot] or a fast food chain sponsoring a given award and "half of this show is ads for video games".

The card-kour stuff seems fairly interesting and engaging, although something about the feel maybe lacks the slightest "oomph" to it. I was expecting it to be much harder and more free-form from how they presented the "sacrifice cards for movement" idea in trailers, but I did only get through the first ten or so levels so far, I'm sure that stuff starts to expand over time.

All that said, the game's writing has turned me off pretty hard. All of the characters are immediately grating, from their personality and dialogue down to the voices given to them (the protagonist especially.) I don't think falling into "tropes" in character design is necessarily a bad thing, but each of the Neons I've seen so far felt like tepid executions of personalities I've seen dozens of other things do halfway decently before. Add on top of that the heaping helping of unearned horniness bounding from any scene the two women have been in thus far, and it makes a story I want nothing more than to skip past as fast as possible.

Again, both of those are things that could get better later into the game, but this demo made me way less interested in the game than I had been before.
