I don’t understand why people review games on Steam before they even play them. “10 minutes in queue? Time to review!”

Well, I specifically didn't mention that because I figured anyone who knows the Japanese name already is aware of this and every discussion about Bokujō Monogatari invariably ends up being about the Natsume debacle!  Heh.  It's actually why I didn't just say "Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon" because I didn't want…

“The game is similar to other sims such as Story of Seasons...”

What I’VE never understood is why self righteous loud mouths on the internet always feel the need to try to tell people they aren’t supposed to enjoy Taco Bell because there exists a vaguely similar, more authentic variant of some of those items available at a significantly higher price somewhere else.

I don't really see any reason why they'd need to be absent.  It's a reboot.  There's no guarantee or even likelihood it would be exactly the same with all the same characters to begin with or that they'd all necessarily need the same voice actors.

There are tons of FFXIV players who don’t read live letters or any other community related content. I would argue even the majority. I’m not saying this article is good or accurate (it’s not), but I wasn’t aware of this belt situation at all.

“apparently open-world”

“They are as hot as you’d get them fresh.”

Honestly, the nuggets are much better and so are the dipping sauces.  The chicken sandwich has always been just fine.  Never understood the hype.

“worthwhile gacha investment”

What other anime aesthetic Chinese AAA budget games are there...?

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a LESS accurate take on One Piece. I don’t know how your girlfriend came to such a conclusion, but there’s absolutely no earthly, conceivable way she’s the “biggest One Piece fan in the world” if she’s claiming 60% of the manga is filler. Literally, 0% of it is filler. Even if it had a lot…

I know you’re getting a little blasted here, but I agree with you, despite not knowing what Werewolves Within is. The whole “nobody asked for this” argument in entertainment is so tired and nonsensical. Take virtually any success story and before it came out, people generally didn’t ask for it. I mean, no one was…

In 2010, Tales games were worth twice as much. Arise is half the length of most Tales games, doesn’t have multiplayer, has Artes and actual gameplay mechanics locked behind day one DLC and has made a number of questionable changes to the franchise. I agree with you that games could and should raise the base price. In…

I was already disappointed because multiplayer was cut.  This is pretty bad too, though.

It more depends on whether or not you actually like these particular types of games.  Do you enjoy Quake and Quake-like games?  If so, Elite Force is actually a shockingly good FPS in the style of Quake and has a fairly entertaining Voyager skin.  Away Team is a competent Baldur's Gate rip-off.  I'd say just take a…

First of all, I didn't imply an specific amount.  Just that it is something that some people irrefutably struggle with and lack of manual dexterity isn't uncommon.  Secondly, I never said anyone couldn't use a keyboard for gaming.  I quite clearly refuted that the accuracy of using a keyboard was "way higher".  The…

“The internet is just having a laugh (as they say in England, the place where Ted Lasso is set) and nobody really thinks Brett Goldstein is a computer-generated monster like Bumblebee or Venom.”

“The input accuracy of a keyboard, and of your fingers, is way higher.”

I’m not sure what your point is. Discussing the poll briefly doesn’t change anything about the fact that the confusion and surprise today feels unwarranted because his popularity has been through the roof for YEARS and his eventual inclusion felt inevitable, not shocking.
