How hard is it to just not be an awful person?

Boring... That’s all I think when I see this.

I mean, dunno about all the reviewers, but the ones who also do podcasts all seem to have a similar story: “Yeah I’ve just been obsessively playing Persona/Zelda/Nier/Nioh/Horizon, and I had to force myself to stop because I need to review these other games...” So all their reviews sound like “This is FINE, but I’d…

It’s probably just because these first few months are cram-packed with glowingly-reviewed 9s and 10s games, that “pretty good” games just look worse by proxy. The opposite effect happens when there’s a huge lull in releases, then any decent game gets a lot more enthusiastic support.

I can’t agree enough. While I respect what Heather said in her video yesterday as her opinion, it didn’t resonate with me at all. I don’t love my nostalgic feelings towards Banjo-Kazooie—I actually love every aspect of it (yes, even the fact that notes don’t save if you die) and there’s a reason why I replay it 100%…

I would take some of the reviews (especially kotaku’s) with a grain of salt. Those people based their whole review around the mere fact that they didn’t really want this game to be what it is.

I view the Inklings as being materialistic and simple-minded (they are both squids and kids, after all), which leads to them getting easily manipulated by people with nefarious goals.

Have you played it yet? I would suggest trying it yourself, or at least reading reviews from people who wanted/asked for/like 90s N64 platformers.

I actually get more excited about Splatoon lore than actual multiplayer content. The first game was so disturbing and I just want them to go nuts and explore that even more in the campaign. I had no intention of buying Splatoon 2 but that promised campaign reveal will probably change my mind.

The most important thing I’ve learned from the last year of game reviews and reactionary internetz comments is that Breath Of The Wild is shit, Horizon Zero Dawn is shit, Mass Effect Andromeda is shit (and the original trilogy is also shit), both Xenoblade games were shit, Final Fantasy XV is shit and now all the…

Uh.... It’s kind of obvious that the Pokemon is dying of old age. It deals with death perfectly, as you absolutely cannot stop death from old age, it’s a fact that everyone needs to learn at a certain point in their life. It can’t be “cured” and there’s nothing you can do but let the person be comfortable in their…

Totalbiscuit’s description of the matter indicated that Gearbox really wasn’t aware that G2A was known for so many abusive practices.

OK WE GET IT! You don’t like TB. Go back to the youtube comment section, please.

G2A ain’t gonna change their shady ways just for Gearbox. They might promise to, if they want to even bother, but tee hee.

“Gearbox Publishing won’t support a marketplace that is unwilling to make these commitments and execute on them,” said the Gearbox spokesperson.

except that is exactly what they are...

Given chameleons are lizards, I’m not sure the difference is as big as you think it is.

Gotta love this attitude.

It was the opportunity to be a dick--and not the dick who chose to be a dick—that was at fault for whatever dickery happened.

Look, dude (or dudette, as the case may be): it’s perfectly possible to be a complete toolbag in the absence of an enabling tool. That’s what Squirr3l decided to do.

Givin…

13 years and still going strong.

On more positive news, a BotW voice actor recently invaded a streamer’s livechat, recorded a personalized voice clip for her, then donated enough money to get her to E3.
