The last time I traded anything to them was pre-360 era. But essentially, the people who use deals to their advantage to trade from game to game and minimize OOP costs won't be able to do that anymore, and the person who is not inclined to trade in their games at all still has no reason to do so. "Simplify" my ass,…

Yeah, I hear you. I will definitely give Zelda the benefit of the doubt for now, but if it just riffs off of Skyrim I'm going to be apprehensive at best. TES is its own thing. I know when I sit down with a game like that, there's a certain level of expectation of what I'm getting. If I were to boot up a Zelda, same…

Er, I think the point is "why does every adventure game on the market have to be a giant sandbox game?"

I mostly agree with you. If you're playing a sandbox like world game then yeah, you should expect to be able to wander about endlessly. However Dragon Age hasn't been like that in the past. i think the author originally began talking about how the DA creator's comments about "if you can see it, you can go there" are…

I like that this comic makes it abundantly clear that any kickstarter failure is due only to the ineptitude and mismanagement of the person who started the project. Crowd-funding can work and there's an entire page on steam dedicated to games that are already out and playable that have been funded on kickstarter. If …

That's at least a notable improvement. They may still be losing money, but they are losing less and less money. If they keep this pace, they could be posting a net profit within the year.

A real comparative test would be to set out the Walmart sandwich and other sandwiches (Blue Bunny etc) and see what happens.

The original isn't Aeris or Aerith, it's エアリス, which transliterates directly to "Earisu," but which could be a transliteration of Aeris or Aerith, because there isn't a "th" sound in Japanese (and "-su" is typically used instead).

...because the accuracy of the tweet is actually verifiably false?

I mean, I can understand a platform bias being the sort of thing that invokes ire from the readership, but when the tweet itself is demonstrably false, that's not bias at work—that's self-inflicted foolishness on the part of the person/entity…

Yeah... Icarus... That's his name....

I really hope there are more Earthbound characters, just to spite you. :)

The fuck, Bob? O.o Why do they need to not be included, just because you don't like playing as them..? Simply don't play as them then. Doesn't effect you at that point.

Two questions: Why do you feel that way, and HOW COULD YOU FEEL THAT WAY?

Nice to see such dedication cause I outright quit 14 years ago when I found my first and only shiny. It was a Sentret I found in Silver at the very start of the game.......where you have no pokeballs to catch anything.

Dogs are way more expensive and require much more care and attention. This comic is completely invalid.

Except you have to tell everyone how awesome your dog is and list all the reasons why your dog is so much better than whatever pet they have even though the person you're talking to couldn't give less of a fuck.

He asked. I was there and saw him asking folks to participate.

I would propose that any game that engages in anything as retarded as retailer-exclusive gameplay should be repeatedly and viciously attacked by the media and boycotted. Get the word out to all the masses who won't really understand as well.
