I have two issues with the Gamecube controller. The layout and the feel. For me, I really never liked the way the controller felt. The buttons don’t feel quite right when you press them. A little too squishy and they almost feel like they will get stuck down if you don’t press them exactly straight down (but I…

True true, but these games generally look pretty bad on digital screens, and lag is also an issue brought about with modern panels.

That more more of a general plea to whomever might read it. I see where the confusion came from.

How else would they be able to sell a game (that they are going to stop selling) to people who haven’t bought a Switch yet?

It should probably say “legally” somewhere in there.

Yeah, but the point is that having to do all of that, as well as procuring a CRT, fucking sucks. If you have the games to sell on a console, fucking sell them.

Unless they don’t have any confidence in the long term desirability of these games it make no sense. Why cut off the access to these games for anyone who buys a Switch after next March? Or people who aren’t working because of COVID and can’t afford to pay right now. They aren’t stopping the sales of the Switch, and…

This is just screaming for piracy.

All of that! I really believe that people look back on it more fondly that it deserves, because they haven’t played it in years (possibly over 15 years) and don’t remember all of those issues. While those issues didn’t seen to tarnish your view of the game that much, for me the combination of poor controls, a…

Not everyone plays games to prove how big their ePeen is.

I really think that having all of these games in such close proximity to each other is going to put into stark relief just how poor of  game Sunshine is. It is going to have much better games on either side of it and people will not be able to ignore how bad it is.

I do have a handful of platinums, but full disclosure, they are almost all from games like The Walking Dead and Life is Strange seasons, where you really just have to play through the story to get them. The lone platinum that I have for a more action oriented game is God Of War, which again, none of the truly…

I thin it’s the “American” part of ‘em. Americans looooove to police the world.

I think there is a difference, and I fully admit I can be way off base with this.

The faces are only a small part of the problem. The bigger issue is that even if Robert Downy Jr put his likeness and voice in it, it wouldn’t make lines like, “Now that’s what I call a heart attack” any more palatable than it is already.

Dang. When did she get shot?

I like the look of it, but it’s got some things about it that I’m really not into. Being a live service bullshit game really hurts it’s chances, but more importantly, that it’s developed by the Montreal studio. Even if you ignore the broken parts that never got patched, the game was just “off.” While I think the…

The actual firings all seem to be the non-whites. Stone Chin (am I alone in thinking that’s a terrible name?) and Ashraf Ismail got fired while the rest were allowed to resign or step down (a distinction was made somewhere, but I’m not certain why). There isn’t enough to be a pattern yet, but I will not be shocked…

“Why are people suddenly acting like taking a cut is a new practice designed to hurt developers?”

You really had me there. Going over his spit shin presentation gave me a pretty clear idea of what to expect from this guy, but then you went and said maybe there was more to him. So I bought in. Which was a mistake but as it turns out, he was exactly what I was expecting him to be. The only surprising detail was that…
