ok but why can’t Metroid crawl?

We can, but it’ll be -5 to your humanity point total because of the nano-injections.

I think it gets complicated by the company’s context of botching so much of social media and some of the rumblings from the show floor about how this latest demo was handling race. That’s a problem with the genre as a whole, but it doesn’t sound like 2077 is approaching that sort of thing with the greatest sense of…

It makes no sense to get upset over imagery in a work of fiction until you know in what context the imagery is being used. Also, a depiction of a fictionalized world is likely to contain portrayals of real bigotry, especially one set in this universe, so it’s not appropriate to assume that just because bigotry is…

In most Zelda games, I think Zelda would have very little motivation to save Link beyond professional courtesy/reciprocity. I mean, if you go play those older games, Link and Zelda meet for 5 minutes, Zelda gets nabbed, and we follow Link on his quest to save her that ends with Zelda going “Oh, hey, you’re that kid…

I’ve actually seen a lot of push back from people online on the idea of playing as Zelda. They say that it’s a Zelda game so Link should always be the main character. I will never understand why people are so opposed to the thing they like try something different. Broaden your horizons people. I promise the thing you…

Not play as Zelda? But he’s the main hero of the whole series!

When breath of the wild was teased early on (years before we knew it was breath of the wild) with a short cinematic like this, people noticed how androgynous link looked in that footage and asked if the Link in the game was a woman or it was supposed to be ambiguous, and if I remember right Aonuma set the record…

Let me play as both. Two story lines, converging at certain points. That would be awesome.

Man, I’m hoping he’s refusing to answer because he wants it to be a secret and not because he doesn’t want to disappoint fans and undermine the positive feeling it’s got right now. 

Anybody else think the crank was used to power the device at first?

load times actually mater. A lot of game design currently is working around loading zones and texture pop in.  Eliminating that is actually quite interesting from a dev standpoint, and changes how levels and textures are designed. 

So the pro-lifers will demand the death penalty for the killing of an “unborn child”, right? They’ll also ban guns as a surgical instrument used in abortions, right?

It was spoiled for me before I played it because it’s all anyone could talk about.

Nightmares are often more memorable than pleasant dreams. 

“When he opens his mouth it’s a vacuous hole: There’s little room for a brain or anything else.”

Yah it's too bad really. I wish there was a way to play ff7 as it was originally imagined, as a turn-based game, but there's no way for anyone to do that anymore. Very tragic

Show of hands for people who would voluntarily turn down $50k a day "on principle."  I'll never understand that.

Counterpoint - if you’re a person who responds to professional emails and never says thanks, because it seems superfluous, you are probably putting off your co-workers, and esp. your underlings. Email (or texts or Slack) are two-dimensional forms of communication, and the default for most people is to read them very…

Now replace "smoking to relax" with "working out to relax" or "taking a hot bath to relax" or "listening to music to relax" or "gardening to relax."
