The hilarious thing to me is that in FFTA/TA2 ALL races are gender-locked, including humans...as far as your generic recruits are concerned. There are story characters who are human females, but you can’t just hire human females to your party like in OG FFT.
Yeah, Netflix has problems, but when I get sick of them, I just go to Amazon or Hulu. Yes it’s annoying to need 3 subscriptions for the same function, but it’s still cheaper and less annoying than the bloated cable packages of yore with hundreds of networks pedaling even more hit-or-miss content.
It used to be we had to teach our parents to use Firefox and Gmail instead of Internet Explorer and Outlook. Now we have to teach our parents to look for movies on Amazon instead of complaining that Netflix didn’t have it EVERY TIME WE TALK.
The role of entertainment critic has been eroded across all mediums since digital downloads and streams began. Why defer to someone else’s opinion which might not align with yours, if it’s so cheap and instantaneous to just try the stuff yourself? Without having to drive somewhere to get it, you can do a 5 minute test…
and stop making day one purchases on dubious games and being shocked when they turn out to be disappointing and unfinished
In my experience, if you live in a neighborhood where the older kids are firing guns in the air for fun, then the younger kids are frequently setting off fireworks in the street when it’s not a holiday. Sometimes you will also hear drunk people yelling outside and not know whether it’s all in good fun or a serious alte…
Star Fox 1 syndrome.
Ironically, Paladins beat them to it.
It’s that line between just knowing you need a strong shotgun and telling a guy you prefer guns that use 5.56 because they fly straighter.
He was hoping that one drop of coffee wouldn’t do anything.
Are people seriously still complaining about the Wii’s graphics in 2019?
Yeah, I was always disappointed I didn’t get Project Justice till way late and couldn’t get any of my friends into it. To compensate, I included Kyosuke in my CvS2 roster every match just because I could.
You mean the system with last-gen 480p graphics capabilities that didn’t include a traditional gamepad? My friend literally gave me a Wii for free, and two consecutive girlfriends owned Wiis, and yet despite being a long-time Capcom fighting fan, I just couldn’t be bothered to try this game.
So basically, Luigi is Tingle now?
That’s like saying that working from home doesn’t truly eliminate commuting because you still have to walk from your bed to your desk in the morning.
When the Wii U was first announced, I kinda expected it would be more of an evolution of the GBA->GC link concept, geared around multiplayer games like Four Swords Adventures and Crystal Chronicles where players can swap between the shared TV and their own personalized screen depending on what’s going on in the game.
Honestly even the Wii U would look like a bizarre failed experiment if the Switch hadn’t revamped the same concept into a successful venture.
The upgrade past discs has been to abandon physical media altogether and go with digital downloads. As someone who went PC-only in 2011, the annoyances of discs seems like an irrelevant forgotten relic of the 2000s - like public music sources assuming you actually want to hear Nickelback.
By the same token, all the outrage over Steam being “flooded with bad games” seems totally overblown to me. As someone who uses Steam’s search engine regularly to hunt for niche games, finding stuff really doesn’t feel any different now than circa 2011. The well-regarded games always float to the top of search…
