I resent the implication that touch-screens are “superior user-interfaces” to buttons. ;)

Yeah, no kidding. “Ask Dr. Nerdlove” on Kotaku is also way better. “Jane Marie” needs lessons in not giving terrible goddamn advice. Jesus.

Unpopular opinion time: I think the original is one of the most overrated games of this generation.

Giulia Melucci comes off as a total douche though, namedropping celebrities in her barre class. There are no winners here.

A Farewell to Arms is obscure?

I’m wondering how many of these armchair critics actually watched the show when it first aired, as opposed to binging it on Netflix these days. I think there’s a fair argument to be made that our culture has shifted even between then and now, and that younger millenial (or post-millenial?) viewers are hyper aware of…

Let’s have a little love for the silenced Walther PPK from Goldeneye, eh?

The “aging hippie stoner dispensary owner” is the kind of lazy stereotype that will continue to hurt the marijuana industry and proponents of further legalization across the country. Most dispensary owners are serious business people, many of whom are much younger than the typical aging boomer demographic.

I’m not surprised by these numbers at all. 4k is a rich man’s luxury. The difference in image quality does not justify the cost for most average income people.

True, but that’s kind of a different argument, though. She was talking about the realism of the textures and modeling in the article (at least, at first.) I definitely agree that games that allow character customization should offer equal opportunities and options for different racial types.

I definitely agree that all of these examples look particularly great, but is this problem really specifically a black thing? Pretty much all video game hair on any characters from any game prior to the last year or two has looked universally unrealistic. Look at Dragon Age Inquisition for a particularly egregious…

As a long-time fan of the series who loved Black Flag, skipped Unity, and was thoroughly disappointed by Syndicate, this game is going to have to go a long way to avoid feeling like a stale retread. A lot of the animations in these clips still look very canned and too reminiscent of the older games in the series. …

And if I recall correctly, a handful of the late game dungeons had the walk-through-walls secrets, too. Cracks weren’t a thing until Links Awakening and Link to the Past though.

In the original Zelda, none of the bombable walls had cracks in the first quest, either.

Those screenshots though.

Finally! A fidget spinner without the danger of it getting stuck in my anus!

I’d say it’s a while lot less a race issue than a “do western powers have vested financial interests in that part of the world” issue.

They haven’t “done well.” They inherited an assload of wealth in a country whose entire financial system is explicitly designed to make people who are already rich obscenely richer.

Photo mode is the e-sports of video game features.

Let us know when it hits $19.99 and then we’ll talk.
