Not a bad collection. The OCD completionist in me wants the HD Remix and Puzzle Fighter, but getting some of those classic games online is great.

EA... Whoops.

... But also please don’t vote for Roy Moore.

I was a self-professed Republican until recently. I still believe in many conservative tenants... but it’s clear to me now that the vast majority of the Republican party itself may give it lip-service, but certainly doesn’t believe it. I cannot FATHOM how we’ve come to the point where “accused child rapist and child…

I can see it.

EA seems to be under the assumption that “less of the things we dislike” instead of “none of the things we dislike” is the solution.

Mass Effect 3's multiplayer pretty much gave EA the confidence to do it in the first place. I’m shocked they haven’t just repackaged that mode alone to get those sales.

They wait too long and you’ll get a situation where a new generation of gamers who didn’t grow up with the series simply won’t care.

How on earth has EA not given us a Mass Effect Trilogy remaster yet?

You’re ultimately just being pedantic about my phrasing. Yes, he was “never” going to like a sequel that clearly stated it was going to replicate the formula for a game he - again, with a minority opinion - disliked. Nintendo was never going to change it up for him when it was clear from countless interviews (I only…

We’re going in circles.

Eh, I don’t buy into the post-hoc fallacy. I’ve followed the game since its first announcement. And I’ll address some of your statements outright.

It’s the third one, with the same gameplay as the first and second. It’s not bizarre. It’s formulaic.

X focuses far more on exploration and gameplay. XB1 focuses heavily on characters and story.

“I write for a living” is an idiom, and while I do literally do this for a literal living wage in that sense, I did so, doubly, to keep myself alive (I won’t go into how writing saved my life and continues to do so).

I literally write for a living.

Right. And I won’t refute that stating that outright wasn’t immensely useful. It lets me know straight-up that his tastes would not align with my own regarding this series. Xenoblade 1 became my favorite game of all time, with Ocarina of Time nipping at its heels and sitting in good company with Resident Evil 4, Mass…

Forest from the trees. XC1 is a single “sport” akin to football being a single “sport” in a whole genre of “sports”.

Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade... all different, but all worth experiencing.

I prefer my theory that the kids were super-saiyans due to the moms being just that awesome... and the dads just kind of helped a bit.
