I mean, “esports” “players” aren’t cool, but this is a bad look.

Oh, I’m well aware. But of the four console Grandia games released, X and 3 are fully exclusive to PlayStation, with part one being exclusive in the West. Barring emulation, the PlayStation 2 is the only console where one can play all four. Furthermore, Sega hasn’t produced hardware in almost two decades, so any claim…

And I counter your anecdotal experience by pointing out that I’ve logged onto the PlayStation Store dozens of times only to see either Kazama Kiryu’s face gracing the front page or a card advertising ‘JRPGS’ in giant, bold text.

Ugh. I still can’t believe that Moon (and Katamari Reroll and Grandia 1 and 2 HD and a few others) are passing over the PlayStation. Like, go multiplatform, fine. But Moon, Grandia, and Katamari Damacy are part of PlayStation’s actual history. (With the latterest of those specifically designed around the DualShock’s…

I’m honestly really sick of the way people are downplaying the good they did with Bayek and Alexios for diversifying male characters in this crusade over the women in Assassin’s Creed. A positive black male lead, and a male lead who could be as gay as you wanted, without any impact to his “masculinity” are huge steps…

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Writing-wise Kassandra and Alexios were the same character. And I feel like people are too harsh on Alexios’ voice actor’s performance when complimenting Kassandra’s. I thought he did a great job and I found his Alexios fun.

I genuinely dislike how few legitimate RPGs we’ve gotten from the AAA folks this generation. 1 Bethesda style RPG instead of 4, 1 Mass Effect instead of 3, .5 of a Dragon Age, 1 Witcher, no real mixed success but oddly charming ones like Alpha Protocol or Amalur.

It’s wild to hear that one of the largest developers in the world gives so much creative control to a single individual - I’m not sure even Miyamoto has enough influence at Nintendo to unilaterally can a project just because he doesn’t like one aspect of it. From Jason’s article, it also sounds like this CCO was one…

I’m gay and trans and from what I’ve learned so far about the narrative of this game I don’t care about it at all, all it seems like is exhausting and so overloaded with emotional strife you stop caring about anything and dissociate yourself from the story and characters.

Why they thought spending half the game as Abby and her dull crew was a good idea... I will never know.  Terrible.  Just terrible.

My issue with all this is the lie about the game being Ellie’s. If they wanted to make a game that wasn’t simply Ellie’s they could do that and tell us. But they went out of their way to lie about that and in the process are selling the game on that basis. To me, that’s pretty crappy. Especially as they have…

I’ve never been a fan of the “best hope for humanity” argument. For one, there was no guarantee it would lead to a vaccine. But given that... immunity is based in the blood, not the brain. Why would dissecting her brain lead to a vaccine? Are we dissecting lungs of healthy and immune people to find a vaccine for covid?…

I for one like seeing articles like this. I hate that reviewing a game or a movie now comes with such strong issues with Spoiler Culture. Its hard to talk about a game if you cant, you know, talk in detail about the game... After the last few months in a quarantine, and now what is the start of a literal revolution,…

LOL

“which will probably make you feel way worse about The Last of Us’ ending” Imagine if you play a sequel of a game and then they say “remember that inconsequential building that burned? Well it was actually an orphanage full of disabled children, you monster!”

Because it wasn’t one? Despite some of the awfulness the first game spent a lot of it’s time making you care about Ellie and Joel and feel like there was still beauty in such a grim world. The choice that dooms the world from a cure was shockingly miserable but also very bittersweet and understandable.

If MGS2 was the same, you would have ended up playing as Vamp after he killed Emma

But as a creator of the subreddit and thus the rules of the subreddit, that does mean they defined the ‘moral ground’ of the subreddit. And as moderators they are there to enforce it.
