You don’t get to butcher someone just because their bits will help other live. There was literally a set of antagonists on voyager for whom that was their exact MO. And when one of them stiole neelix’s lungs, she just let him go.

Benefit of the doubt and David Goyer do not belong in the same sentence

That depends on your definition of playable. And build. And game. “There’s” “of” and “this” are doing some pretty heavy lifting themselves if I am being honest.

That’s an inspired idea, actually. 300 was essentially Frazetta: the movie.

I legit do not see why people are hyped for this.

That’s bullshit. The us doesn’t own the idea of improving on what came before. And given that you are still wrestling with social issues many nations solved decades ago, or at least have made much better progress with, arguably you are doing a pretty shit job.

It’s at times like these that I am reminded of how Daniel Tosh took time out of an episode of his show to blast Shane Gillis for whining about cancel culture. A fucking dedicated shock comic whose comedy persona is based around being a narcissistic sociopath is able to get that comedy has to evolve.

It’s mindblowing that a guy who quit his show because he felt the audience was laughing with the racism and not at it has now thrown in his lot exclusively with the people that drove him to quit in the first place.

That he quit as one of the most celebrated comics of his era, and returned to comedy as generic boomer…

It’s an apt critique when you have a dev that refuses to follow standards that are well over 20 years old. That charges for balance patches. That already was getting away with selling the same game THREE times in a generation and that has been actively removing features and setting up paywalls. Name another dev that…

Just so I’m clear, you are using legends arceus as an example of game freak NOT being lazy? Have you seen some trailer that I haven’t where the graphics no longer compare unfavourably with last gen ports and the gameplay isn’t clearly janky? Where they are actually springing for voice acting in 2021?

Single use tms don’t make the game harder. They make it annoying.

We are part of the maximum audience and they can give us what we want by making a few toggles.

Yeah, and if you picked charmander, you were fucked for three gyms straight. And also the last gym. And for all the elite 4. Bulbasaur was easy mode.

They can. But game freak is among the laziest dev teams currently working.

“Players only remember best games rather than OK games. If it is a best game, players may want a sequel, and they will also want to buy a sequel, but no one really cares about a game that is only OK.”

Considering that every other open world game has adopted witcher style “go here for mandatory fun scenario #14/150” which turns lavish virtual worlds into scenery you watch fly past as fast as possble as you move to the next box you need to tick off your map, you can begrudge us a single example per decade of games tha…

The HM thing is literally the only thing not form the original game.

Fade to black.

Actually the genesis lacked a select button. So it had the same number of buttons, just with 3 face button + start instead of 2 face buttons+ start/select. The real legacy of the genesis pad is that it was the first to really take ergonomic into account. The NES controllers were terrible in this regard.

Mario bros was an arcade game where you fought crabs and turtles in the new york sewers. Super mario bros was the sequel on home consoles.
