I undertand the move away from numeric scores and even the YES/NO system of days gone by, but could we have some sort of TL;DR in the reviews, please?*.

Other political references in the alternate version of Chapter 13 include the lines “you’re the puppet” and “fake news.” Yes, really.

Jango’s dismissing replies he doesn’t like, so I thought I’d leave my response to him here:

Jango said:

I would like to remind everyone that this is not censorship and that Playtonic as a private business has the right to express itself as they see fit. If they do not wish to include voice work by a controversial figure in their video game that is well within their right. Jon’s free speech was not violated in any way…

This just further reinforces my theory that if you want to make a game where everything is solved by bullets or explosions, that you need to include a grappling hook, reusable parachute, and wingsuit.

I can’t wait for Nintendo to just become a publisher.

The Zelda hype is cool and I’m glad that game is good, but I don’t think anything could tear me away from Horizon right now. It’s the full package - incredible visuals, great open world design, a surprisingly good story (not Naughty Dog levels but much better than it needed to be), incredibly tight gameplay (something…

Yes.

I don’t think anyone who has a Wii U and many of the amazing games that came out for it thinks it was a failure.

Two questions. Is this okay to pre order? And will you be delaying this as well?

no. boss fights are a staple of the resident evil series. there’s a fine line between going full hills have eyes and being resident evil, and thats BOW’s in ANY shape or form. the war may be over but there can still be remnants.

but dont forget the CHILDREN!!! nintendo would have features and content, but apparently everything a game company would have is bad for children, and nintendo is quick to point this out. one mario and one zelda game per console is sufficient for the children. people who want more than that just dont get it.

I don’t think Jason is being Optimistic at all. This is a list of what they need to do more so than a list of things that will happen. I don’t see any of this happening and I don’t think Jason sees it happening either.

You’re being highly optimistic Schreier. The is the same company that wants to charge you a subscription but offer no voice chat through that network.

Hmm. I dunno. As great as it would be to not have to depend on publishers for anything, getting early review copies (with an embargo) is the only way to ensure we can have a review that’s both great and timely. Without early copies, outlets usually have to pick one or the other. (We try to pick the former, which is…

This sounds like the video game equivalent of walking my beagle every morning.

Criticism isn’t censorship. That’s a pretty basic distinction, man.

Keep Politics out of games and media I general. Clinton is a war criminal and I am tired of hearing about what Harry Potter characters would think of her and Trump.

Why does Ed Boon assume it is Scorpion? Without color, it could be Scorpion, Sub-zero, Smoke, Reptile, Rain, Ermac, Chameleon, or Noob Saibot.

Sony stole a page from Nintendo’s playback about old tech :)
