strong disagree, aggregate websites have removed all nuance from the conversation and are only beloved by internet nerds because it helps them rank things arbitrarily. Oh, okay corporations love them too because they can put stickers on their blu-rays.

I read this as “A minus” game 

I’m a HUGE souls/borne fan and while I could argue for days as to how they all stack up, I would definitely put Sekiro at the bottom. Heck, I’m not even sure its fair to even categorize it as such. It’s very restrictive in how it lets you play, has an incredibly uncompelling scripted narrative (as opposed to the more…

is that a small man or is the console gigantic?

It felt like the classic “marketing dept has no idea how to sell this game to an audience” situation. 

I listened to this ALL the time alongside the Rockman X4 theme (a brooding love song):

Not to sound overly cynical but perhaps they were hoping that this trailer debut would ignite enough interest to get funding from some other backer.  Then they would hire a new team and the sham would begin anew. 

I feel like one of the internet's older rules should apply here : don't take stock in user reviews.  They mean close to nothing. 

It’s really upsetting to me that this 8 year old game is 80GB. I don’t have nearly enough space free to play it, and there was no indication that it would be this big. Some of the bigger AAA games aren’t nearly this large. Very disappointed that I have to order another ssd just to play.

Sorry, that wasn’t meant to be some kind of criticism of your reading speed and I meant no offense.

Couldn’t you have taken 5 min to read the article before posting the exact same message? Honestly a little confused by this behavior.

Same! 3H’s is totally great! It’s just kinda...more dating sim than sprawling magical adventure.

This piece has hit me right in the feels. I am having almost the exact same experience as you right now - these games are full of optimism, adventure, and nostalgia!

Whoa Jason - this is a bad take! Both of these games are fairly innocuous when it comes to the issue at hand given that their battle systems incorporate a semi-real time mechanic that makes fights actually...fun? I would understand for some snes or genesis games but man, I love getting into fights in these games.  

I am praying for a Japanese language option for Grandia 1.  After hearing so many great things about it I tried to play it on psx and the voice acting is some of the worst I’ve ever heard in a video game.  Probably fine if you were a kid but yikes.

Seeing this just reminds me of how lovingly animated and produced some of the ATs are.  The fact that they are borderline playable characters is so tantalizing!!!

You take that back Sonic R is amazing!

Im a HUGE db fan and am having trouble understanding what the black variant is supposed to be referencing.  Super Shenron is gold isn’t he?  

Thoughts on X4 Ethan?  I’ve seen many praise it as one of the best games in the franchise, and others who despise it.  

I said relatively.  I still think losing your job for a comment like that is needlessly harsh. Especially in an era where that language is very very tame.
