Fired over something so trivial? You have to look at his position and the consequences of his actions. He was the head of one of Microsoft's divisions and essentially said, "Fuck our customers; Fuck everyone who lives in rural America; and fuck everyone who disagrees with me." That's NOT how you handle public…

It was more the fact that people were upset Riot seemingly added big tits/cleavage to every single female champion no matter the circumstances. It didn't have to be Nami. It could've been any skimpy female design and it probably would've caused an outroar at that point.

There was a fuss about Slay Bell Katarina's recall animation having her twirl around a giant candy cane which seemed stripper-ish. Though, to be honest, that was mostly because this was coming right after the Nami controversy earlier in the same month, which compounded the issue. It alone wasn't that bad or offensive.…

This seems to slowly be changing after the massive shitstorm surrounding Nami back in Dec. (Fans complaining that Riot was intentionally hypersexualizing every female, including fish ladies.) Since then, we've gotten the no-nonsense Quinn and the Sejuani redesign, both moving towards more warrior-like ladies. (We've…

There's a reason they're called X-2 and XIII-2; not XI and XIV. It's because they're sequels to an existing entry and not a numerical entry. A "primary" Final Fantasy title is a standalone game that is only thematically linked with prior entries. XIII-2 is a sequel to XIII, but it's not a primary Final Fantasy game.…

The Gearbox panel jokingly called it that at the end of the video, mocking the "tiny tina is racist" controversy.

I have no objections to people having their own opinions. I just take issue with people stating that the series has been in some horrible nosedive so matter-of-factly. There's a big difference between, "X was the last FF game I truly enjoyed." vs "There hasn't been a good FF game since X." The first is your opinion;…

Because X maintained the illusion of freedom, whereas XIII didn't. This is something I touched on in my response to fdisk81. You're right that they're very similar. X just did a better job of hiding it.

X-2 and XIII-2, for all intents and purposes, qualify as spinoffs. Likewise, VIII and XIII were not considered bad games. Not by a long shot. Both were critical and commercial successes. Just because you didn't enjoy them doesn't make your opinion a fact. Lastly, judging old games by today's standards are ridiculous.…

Your post is full of so much bias and misinformation. We're not just talking about combat here as you claim for some unbeknownst reason. I am, in fact, considering the "whole package" in my statement.

XI and XII were both fantastic (and don't give me that, "XI was an MMO, not a real FF game" nonsense). XIII received more criticism than others, but was still widely considered a great game. XIV is really the only primary entry that wasn't good, and they've still managed to redeem it with XIV:ARR (the current beta is…

It's not just his opinion. The game's voice acting was widely criticized when it came out - Yuna and Tidus especially (though Tidus more for his writing than the voice work itself). Other than Wakka/Kimarhi (John DiMaggio), Rikku (Tara Strong), and Auron, the rest of the cast fell pretty flat. I don't think anyone's…

Correction: Both are fucking awful. Unless we're talking Stand-Up comedians which is an entirely different ballpark, but I'm assuming we're discussing the realm of television comedy. Case and point: Both the American and British version of The Office are awful. One might argue that the British version is slightly less…

The only reason the game doesn't have dicks flopping around is because of the ESRB. David Jaffe covered this waaay back with the original God of War. He wanted the game to be "primal" and monsters don't wear clothes. He thought the cyclopes should have big, dangling testicles just as much as the women should have…

PvZ and Bejeweled were standard PC titles looooong before their mobile ports. They're also better than 1/2 the games on that list.

The ESRB requires M-rated promotional material to be restricted by an age gate. When these types of press releases are sent out, it typically states (explicitly) that you cannot post it to your publication without an age gate. It has nothing to do with the site itself; they're just following rules. As we've seen,…

A lot of them don't really come into their own 'til Lv.31+ imo. Prior to that, they're largely the same run-n-gun playstyle with a unique active ability and some slight nuances depending on how you spec. The only ones I'd consider unique at early levels is melee Zer0 and Mechromancer (since Deathtrap effectively adds…

Yeah. Especially in SCV where a well timed Just Guard sets you up for a massive counter. I'd imagine the people who think you can be successful at SC just by mashing are the same people who think all you do to win in SF is spam projectiles.

I dunno. If you're a mid-tier player, you should probably be able to guard impact on a fairly regular basis which is going to absolutely shut down button mashers since you get a free counter to their nonsense.

It was really easy to rack up large amounts of play time in FFXI because you could just AFK/bazaar and the server would never kick you off. I had 2 PS2s - one of which had a disc read error, but could still run the PS2 HDD - so I'd leave the game running (literally) 24/7. I had something like 800 days played on my…
