I’m curious and hoping someone who played the original can provide an answer.

I’m with her is a troll, don't feed them. 

Considering the game was getting dragged regarding this specific thing nearly a decade ago (as mentioned, it was already being called out as creepy and weird before release, which triggered Kojima’s hyper-incel tweet responding to the criticism), I dispute their statement that the “landscape has changed since then”.

Naw that’s a bad take. Finding and changing a texture is easy as hell. Changing parts of the actual game functionality is usually much more difficult, especially when it comes to online play. 

Just gotta remove a little bit of shin and you're good. 

A big part of why the soft reboot worked for God of War is because they were able to shift to a new set of gods and mythological creatures and they were willing to give a huge shift in tone in Kratos’ character from the “hyper-angry, off camera sex scene minigame” version that preteens loved in the 00's to a more…

Based on what others have said, there’s no reason to have a large enough number of these coins that a Game Over would really matter, and pretty quickly you can get so many of these that you might as well just blow them on extra lives.

Sorry, it's been further streamlined. You now get 3 spells. Ouchie Blast, Healie Blast, and Change State of Thing. 

Honestly I’m just kind of done with Fatalities at this point. They were shocking way back when they first appeared and them being secrets added a layer of allure.

That was my thought as well.

But this is the issue I have with that. If they only had the single SKU, just the one with the drive, it fixes all those problems to an even further degree and they don’t need to worry about stepping up or down production of a specific line because it’s one line.

The image in the tweet referenced by the post shows it as the slim with the drive included. 

Unrelated to my other comment: Fuck this buggy ass site and all of GMG in general. Some of the ads are so broken that they freeze the page entirely or cause flashing and stuttering problems that look potentially seizure inducing for photosensitive individuals.

Honestly, just... Why bother doing this at all? Like any of it? It HAS to be way more expensive to making, storing, and shipping 3 different SKUs when the total price compared to the base model is either a measly $50 cheaper or $30 more, depending on if you get just the digital one or the digital one and get the drive…

Is it though? Does it feel good or special when they’re littered around the world willy nilly and there’s basically no repercussions for dying? It kinda seems like it mirrors playing random levels in Super Mario Maker. The creator may put 1, 10, or 100 extra lives in a level but it doesn’t matter because there’s no…

According to a wiki page you lose 25% of your flower coins (the purple ones) and you go back to the world map. So I assume if you hit a checkpoint in the level you would have to start it over.

I would say the licensed game industry died long before Fortnite started doing those events, like a decade beforehand. And while it is true that the licensed game could be a way to keep bills paid while working on other projects, my anecdotal experience was more along the lines of licensed games acting more as a black…

Can we install this on Musk's computer and tell him it's the new Twitter control interface, then get rid of all the Nazis on real Twitter while he is distracted? He'll never know the difference anyways. 

Iirc the big problem with the Wii U name was people thought it was an accessory to the Wii. When you add a ssequential umber to the name it doesn’t have that problem. 

I did and continue to feel like the elephant power up from an aesthetic standpoint. It sounds really good from a mechanical standpoint, but it’s just weird for there to be all these things that are very “Mario” and you turn into an anthropomorphic real life creature.
