And yet millions of people have frequently in the past complained about this very thing. Like mistakenly buying the wrong edition of a game on Steam, PSN, Xbox Live, eShop, etc. It was also a recurring issue with the Wii U vs the Wii and the “New” 3DS versus the standard 3DS. And in fact, it’s partly why Nintendo…

I just don’t believe in the inherent value of preserving simply for preservation’s sake of anything and everything because someone slaps the word art on it. Trying to argue that the historical significance of Grand Theft Auto 3 would be lost just because people can’t play it QUITE as easily is preposterous. Beyond the…

Do you remember watching the original Wizard of Oz? If you do, you’re older than me because every version I’ve ever seen has been remastered. Turns out no one wanted to watch the old untouched version, and remastering the movie didn’t change the role of anyone that worked on the original. It still started and ended in…

If the goal is game preservation, the right time to begin the work is the day the game is released and not 20 years later when the game is being updated.

People always make these arguments about game preservation. Are there really not still millions of physical copies on shelves across the world as well as millions of downloaded copies legally on computers from various digital storefronts AND likely tens of millions of illegally downloaded and legally backed up ISOs on…

This isn’t the Dead Sea scrolls we’re talking about, there are literally thousands of GTA3 listings on eBay right now. You can get one and seal it up in your video game history bunker for like ten bucks.

Is $60 that much? Three, huge, amazing games? And it sounds like they updated the visuals, the controls, the UI etc? I dunno. Seems perfectly in line to me. 

Apparently people outside of Japan can’t possibly know what a jappa is and learning is off the table so they just re-raced all the kappas in the game into turtles.

I think most of these so-called complaints were people trying to be funny or sarcastic about having to do something again in game.  Not to mention it was literally just like six people on Twitter for a game that sold 34 million.  Not really indicative of anything.

I don’t disagree with the notion that the attachments and deck-building make it less pick-up-and-play friendly than L4D, but I also think that’s kind of a silly criticism to make. L4D would drown in a week if it were released today.

For better or worse, we just don’t live in the world of static arcade shooters…

It’s couches in obvious sarcasm and yet you’re here on Kotaku, reading gaming journalism which is nearly 100% needlessly padded summaries of mundane events and then furthering your experience with reading the even more mundane comments, so I’m going to have to assume you're feeling genuine elation at reading more.

I’m rarely if ever in favour of big companies suing the ‘little’ guy but to be honest, fuck these guys. Their attitude is ridiculous.

Personally, I am all for console customization. As a mechanical keyboard and sneaker liker, I cannot help but like cool color-ways and unnecessary personalization. Console accessories, and custom controllers, have always existed in a strange, occasionally cracked down upon space but I’ve never seen anything quite as…

Almost entirely disagree.  Samus conveys a lot of emotion with body language, moment, timely paused and head turns.  I definitely don't think it hurt the game.  I wouldn't change anything.  I wouldn't mind more characterization in the future if it's done well, but I disagree it's necessary and worse off without.

Some people just have a moral objection to theft and don't think they simply deserve something because a company makes a lot of money.  And others just think logically about the very real sales thresholds companies put on games and if they don't sell enough, sequels just don't happen.  Nintendo has too many IPs to…

Same here. I know exactly what you mean about feeling like you’d outgrown games. It really is just that I don’t have the patience I had for games that don’t respect my time and aren’t amazing. I’m done slogging through 80 hour RPGs that are just “okay” or playing through sub par Metroidvania games that are “fairly…

If everyone thought like you, that it was okay to pirate because games are made by corporations, how long do you think the industry that makes the games you enjoy would last?

There are people in the comments saying it’s okay to pirate the game because it’s a Switch exclusive and they don’t want to buy a Switch. Then there are the ones harping about 4k 60fps and inferior hardware. As if all this justifies stealing.

You realize they won't make anymore games if they aren't making money. Regardless of what you commies believe you aren't going to be able to force them to produce a product for free 🤷🏻‍♂️

Emulator or no, this game is really really good. A few times throughout my life, I’ve thought I’d ‘outgrown’ video games. I just couldn’t keep interested in anything I tried. One game that made me realize I was wrong was Half Life 2. I realized that, no, video games weren’t disinteresting. Bad video games didn’t hold…
