Hey, two can play that game! In 2015, a driver was killed in an accident by the compression of his own seatbelt. Therefore seatbeats aren’t inherently good or bad....!?

“I ran a sexually exploitative company into the ground and all I got was this lousy golden parachute!”

There’s this really bizarre narrative where people seem to believe that consolidation is what leads to layoffs and that staying independent somehow increases your job security.

“Action game but weirdly slow” is how I’d describe Dark Souls combat, which is amazing!

Zelda is definitely RPG-lite. No levels, no equipment, no stats, no party. The use of RPG in this context is to highlight that all of the things we associated with Final Fantasy-style games in the 90s were also present in Secret of Mana.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was also released three years after the original Mario Kart 8. Sure, the Switch lacks backwards combability, unlike the PS5. But considering that we haven’t seen a new Mario Kart game in almost ten years, it sure seems like Nintendo is milking that remaster for all it’s worth.

The EU is going to force Apple to allow sideloading of apps, and that may be due at least in part to Epic shining such a strong light on Apple’s practices. So perhaps at the end of the day, Epic still ultimately won, at least in Europe?

I think the crediting is wrong. Wishfully is making Planet of Lana, not Moonstone Island.

Every game is fun to somebody. Even Superman 64, I’m told.

You think BG3 is a safe game? A game that multiple outlets have speculated will have a resounding effect on the future of games?

TotK and Spider-Man 2 both felt extremely samey to me. Whereas BG3 is clearly very different and a massive evolution from BG1&2.

We’re all still talking about Baldur’s Gate III, so what does that mean?

Anti-Microsoft bias? When this was a similar article about using AI to assist artists, it was pretty much universally bashed. It’s only now that it’s a company with a diehard fanbase that you see people coming out of the woodwork to defend the exact same practice.

So much of Gone Girl felt forced that it was hard to take seriously (maybe that’s the point?). A cop asking a man she already distrusted to play truth or lie was particularly egregious. As was her sudden ability to spot inconsistencies once she was off the case. Maybe the point was she was so sure he was the killer…

Also, I’ve only ever tried 4/5 level difficulty Sudoku, but I eventually learned they too can be solved without ever guessing. As a result, I assume that even the hardest difficulty can be too.

I would be all over this if it wasn’t free-to-play!

To support the devs?

What? Sony is a monopoly because it has the second-place console and its games sell half as much as Nintendo’s?

They’ve done so by combining home and handheld income streams

This feels backwards in so many ways. Nintendo is king because they have perfected how to make a great game. A company that’s still struggling with that aspect swooping in to take over the reigns could only cause things to go downhill.
