They could have handled this way more gently, and that response was imho, what probably threw them into overtime to get this out asap... even if this was free and nobody had any right or entitlement to the costume being in the game, it was teased, and then they responded to fan outcry in a bad manner

Here’s the thing for me:

I grew up in the 80s and early 90s. I remember very clearly games being a complete (though sometimes broken in ways that never got fixed) experience right out of the box.

Games have changed since then—they have evolved. And as the games themselves have changed, so too has the business that…

Ehhh.

I’m with you on the “old Spanish map would use names that would be used by the Spanish at that time,” angle.

The “hypersensitivity” thing, though, I think you could stand to reexamine. Given the way the Koreans were treated by the Japanese during WW II, I’d say there’s some pretty good reason for the lengthy and…

I see deodorant and vaseline, how is that biased?

I’ve held my judgement of Epic’s store so far (mainly because I’m in support of a bigger revenue cut for devs), but I’ll say this: If I get any games in Epic’s client, it will be the 5th client on my pc where I have games that interest me.

My favourite image of teeth.

I’d just like to point out that whenever I’m about to post I check for the Arnheim comment because it usually says something similar to what I was about to post, except more eloquently and with less swear words.  It’s way easier to just give it a star.  

I...wow.

I’m glad some folks are enjoying this game; everyone has their somewhere they want to be, and that somewhere doesn’t work for other folks—and that’s fine. I enjoy a great many things others think are a waste of time.

This whole kerfuffle, though, comes off as one giant kettle of “we coasted way too hard on a…

Yup. I was about the same age as Mr. Kohler when I bought my own Playstation, and I think the thing he’s getting at here in the article is something that people who either missed (or were just very young during) that time period might not be aware of: for every gem that released on the PSX, there were at least ten to…

Oh god the hot takes! We're getting more EVA hot takes! I'm so excited! No joke, genuinely excited.

Going back to my original papers from 1995, I looked at them and realized that they were not synopses but actual translations into English!

I remember first following this series in late 1995...not from the TV eps but from a guy in Japan who used to post synopses of the individual eps on the old rec.arts.anime NG. I later traded for raws of the series on VHS with the original Japanese TV ads.

I find it amusing that a lot a Zelda fans talk about how exploration played a great role in how they perceive the series, because I’ve always been more attracted by the quest. I find this amusing because OoT is the first game I followed entirely and read everything while not having English as my native language.

I don’t have any of them, despite owning a Wii U (and now a Switch), because this is Brazil, and of course those things are not only rare to come by, they are also always hella expensive... so it was always a no-go from start. And I’m a (small) figure collector, so the will is there, but the idea that I’d get one and…

I mean, the answer here is quite simple: don’t get so wrapped up in the products of a single company that you spend close to four figures on what is essentially a trade show. And especially don’t get mad when they don’t announce or show the thing that they specifically said they were not going to announce or show at…

Here’s what you do, from one tired dad to another:

What tired me and my friends out was the constantly changing meta. I’m neither 16 anymore with hours to kill each day nor do I have the energy to restart my personal progress when the developers change how to play the game. One friend played Mercy in competitive mode and he had to eventually learn about 3-4 heroes.…

Then it’s not hard to remove.

Uh...what? Of course European settlers took the land. The Native Americans were here first and had their own systems of laws and regulations about ownership and land rights. The Europeans saw something they wanted and trampled all over the Natives’ sovereignty to take it. Let’s not rewrite history.

Ok.......*sigh*

Look, I get people being disappointed. I can even understand, to a certain extent, people being angry. No one was expecting, nor did anyone ask for, a Diablo mobile game. I think Blizzard is at times a little full of itself...high on their own supply, if you will. I don’t think they’re “out of touch”,…
