I’m super appreciative that Nintendo came out with this straight up. The usual approach is for publishers to just go silent for years with no explanation.

Hasn’t Retro been working on something else for ages? I got the feeling they weren’t available for this. Maybe they’re finishing up whatever other project they had going (or it’s been cancelled).

That spoiler study everyone keeps bringing up is bullshit. The fact that people enjoyed one-off stories they had no prior emotional investment in more after they were spoiled has nothing to do with the kinds of spoilers people actually complain about (ie sequential or long-running narratives they've been following for…

Per The Oregonian, Brooner, who said he visited Burger King nearly every day prior to the incident, took advantage of the pledge until December 28. With the exception of December 24 and 25, he ate there daily from December 15-28, and ate both breakfast and dinner on two separate occasions.

51 years to life??? I’ve never heard of a sentence that harsh that wasn’t just straight up “life with no parole”, even for murder. What were they thinking?

I feel like you’re comparing apples and oranges here. The pre-launch DLC people get mad about is new content for single-player games that feels like it were just cut from the primary release and sold separately. Post-launch content for primarily multiplayer focused games is a whole different matter, which people have…

It looks fun, but that has to be one of the blandest sci-fi aesthetics I’ve see in a while. The space-1920s touches are cool, but everything else is just boxy and brown. I wish they had gone about a dozen steps further with the neo-guilded age idea.

The problems the article is highlighting mostly aren’t ones that can be fixed with patches. The multiplayer experience is empty and unfulfilling to many; if that does get fixed, it’s probably going to take a No Man’s Sky NEXT-esque effort, likely a long time down the road.

AKA that mobile game didn’t do as well as we were hoping.

The fact that the bird’s face remains completely impassive and realistically bird-like is what sells this.

This is great to see. No video game is worth someone’s health.

I enjoyed it fine up until the story stopped making sense. Specifically, that bit where the bros have to agree to get a lift from the shady empire guy and it’s built up like a big risky move...and then it just cuts to them being dropped off. And then the focus of the entire game shifts to something about gods that I…

Yes. Absolutely. The democrats need to declare war on the republican party and not stop until they’re destroyed. The republicans have signalled again and again and again that they have zero intention of compromise or working with anyone else; their greatest ambition seems to be a one-party state. Their biggest…

This is the last thing I saw before going to bed last night. Good for the ol’ blood pressure.

Dude, it’s a book about a female serial killer, a thing that literally exists in real life. I don’t get where the problem is.

I feel like you’re not quite grasping the concept of what a novel is here.

You’re jumping to some pretty wild conclusions there.

I fucking hate this attitude that developers and publishers have to give their fanbase exactly what they want, and to do anything else is heresy. We saw the exact same thing recently with Battlefield V, complete with bullshit outrage over incredibly mild PR statements. It’s like anything less than total, fawning “dear…

They charged people to go to the convention. The idea that the ticket’s value is tied to how exciting the announcements at the keynote are is completely bizarre. If all people cared about was the news, they could have just stayed home.

I do not get the Smash Bros fandom, top to bottom.
