No, I wouldn’t. I’ve said in the past the boy band fashion show they put into this game is ridiculous, boring looking, and should in no way be applauded. That Tabata is trying to make them out to be military uniforms of some type and that the country’s color is black, and so that’s why the whole group’s outfits are…

Also, anyone who bought a headset never even once thinking that political nonsense during an election might cause support for it be in jeopardy, because that’s insane. What these developers are saying, along with not wanting to support Palmer Luckey, is “screw everyone else that works at Oculus, and screw every gamer…

I mean, I understand looking at it that way, but you could also say the exact same thing about a game like Final Fantasy XV. It has amazingly realistic graphics and a style that many people rave over, and the director is at least very passionate and into the game he made. That doesn’t mean it will be a good game; in…

I feel like the video that was highlighted (and likely spawned this article) is little disingenuous from the start. First, the ask people to hum music from franchises that have multiple films all with very similar, if not identical themes that tie the franchise together. Those people then proceed to all hum the SAME…

As much as I’d like to get this, because I really liked the games and wouldn’t mind having a console copy on one disc for everything, October is an absolutely brutal month to be buying anything else thanks to Playstation VR being released. I just cannot add another $50 title to the list. I’ll likely wait and get it on…

This should not have been delayed past E3 given what it is. This is basically the equivalent of the XBox One S, but it can’t play 4K Blurays, which means its value is almost entirely based on whether you want slightly better performance and 4K upscaling of current titles. There is nothing here that makes me want to…

Again, you said IMITATION, not derivitive work, and if the design of one iconic level from one of the first video games ever to be made can never be replicated regardless of the changes anywhere, it kind of proves my point that fair use is broken in the current law.

The point is that in the context of where you meet her, it’s completely inappropriate and degrading. No person in their right mind would do mechanics work with that much skin, especially a sensitive area like the upper chest, showing due to the nature of the work, but they went with the pin-up model outfit and the…

Being extremely tired today, I first read the title of the game as The Troll. Then when I saw Molyneux’s name attached to it, I thought he couldn’t possibly be quite so transparent with the name and reread it. The Troll sounds particularly fitting for this game though given the backstory of its development.

To be fair, you’re the one saying it’s crap. That’s typically said with the intention to offend.

I don’t know what Mario game you’ve seen that looks anything like the one in Kotaku’s article about this one, but I haven’t seen any of their work that looks or plays specifically like this one. There are elements taken from the 2D Mario games, but they’re warped, all the art is redrawn in a slightly different style,…

Exactly, and therein lies the crux of the problem - companies weilding the DMCA as a hammer because they know the legal system costs so much to participate in, and things like fair use are so poorly defined and open to interpretation in a verdict, that they can essentially kill whatever they don’t like with 99.9%…

Personally, I’m of the opinion that if your game is broken or in significantly bad shape on the disc, it probably shouldn’t be certified. More and more games these days are using the day one patch not to fix bugs that might have just been marked as “Will Not Fix” due to obscurity in past releases, but to complete or…

Am I the only one that thinks it’s really stupid that they essentially cut out the “Midgar” portion of the game’s story that actually gets you invested in the characters and replaced it with a messy CGI movie instead? There’s a reason the games that are remembered fondly all start in a very similar way. They bring you…

I don’t think they’re held up by their franchise fans either, I said those franchise fans excuse a lot of their faults. On the topic of what sustains them, I suspect the only reason Nintendo is surviving is because their handheld devices perform sustained software sales (they still have third-party support there) and…

I had a similar experience in that I was out and walking around after work the first week after it was out, but because the game has literally no documentation included, I wasted the first few days when level ups were easy to get not spinning any of the pokestops (because seriously, who would think to spin the damn…

Much of what you just said in your post is a matter of opinion though, just like I have mine. I don’t necessarily agree with what you’ve put on the tier list you made there either. For instance, while it has received a ton of critical praise, and the premise and style are fantastic, I thought the controls for Splatoon…

You know, I take issue with this, because for me, their track record is actually pretty spotty lately. Yes, the things that their biggest internal development team work on tend to be solid, and they consistently turn out at least “good” games of all their tier 1 franchises like Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, the…

You know a better way to not have a ridiculously broken game due to trying to meet an arbitrary release date? Not hype up a game 2 years before it’s going to be out and then try and set up a date based on marketing’s plans rather than the progress of the game’s development. More games should pull a Fallout 4 and show…

What you’re also saying here though is, that it’s a 90s attitude to actually sell a completed game. Because the reality is that what is on the disc is frequently not actually the finished game, and so 10 years from now, if Sony were to suddenly have a cataclysmic fall, or kill their games division for some reason,…
