You can F2P the game! By just playing it for fun once in a while and not worrying about min-maxing at all.

I am interested in this, however, I will probably wait until it’s $10 or so on Steam.

What? Don’t be an ass. Go read Jason Schreier’s “Blood, Sweat and Pixels” and tell me that he is not a journalist.

Or even if you don’t have time to play it and you’re going to fake it... do a better job of it? It is not that hard. Just read a few reviews and then summarize some of their thoughts without their words in front of you. Any decent writer could practically do this in their sleep and it’d be nigh-impossible for anyone…

The pasta physics in this game SUCK. 0 / 10

TIM we love you for this. Keep making these, and when you are done, do Final Fantasy VI. And then, Majora’s Mask. Then Persona 5. Then, every other Japanese game. :D

This is neat. I would love the converse of this, a where you are blind, so that sighted players can get a feel for what it’s like to be without vision. :robably an FPS - no visuals whatsoever, forcing you to use sound to navigate. Would work well with VR for head tracking.  Could be great as a horror or puzzle game.

Because the library is incredibly fat if you do like the indie stuff on the eShop.

Wow, with those kind of numbers it’s kind of nuts that Nintendo hasn’t made more Brain Age, Nintendogs or Animal Crossing. Those can’t be very expensive to produce.  It’s like they found a giant pile of $100 bills lying on a sidewalk and were like “eh. Nah.”

Not that I’m complaining, because I don’t play those games…

The original God of War’s final boss pissed me off. I had made it all the way through the game, slowly building up skill, only to have completely different controls forced on me for the final battle. No ramp up in difficulty, they just threw you in the deep end.  I was never able to see the ending because of that...

I love this song so much. I remember grabbing in from my Civ IV install and listening to it over and over on my iPod while walking to college.

It seems like most games are “perfect for Switch”. The question to me is - which games are NOT perfect for Switch? I can think of a few - mainly, 3D games where a big part of the appeal is spectacle and detailed graphics. I wouldn’t want to play God of War (PS4) on the Switch, even if it was technically possible,…

I second the recommendation for the Neil Gaiman book.  Especially the audiobook, since his accent is just so soothing.

Would also LOVE to see more RPGs in diverse settings. It seems like 95% of them (or at least the ones I know about) are in European/Chinese/Japanese settings. There are many other mythologies/cultures that would make very interesting settings - African, Native American, Arabian, Persian, Indian, Mesoamerican,…

Man, I don’t get The Sopranos. I don’t mind unsympathetic characters, but is the intention for the audience to absolutely hate every single character and want them to die? My only feeling about Tony Soprano and co. was that I wanted them to be murdered as soon as possible. As opposed to Breaking Bad, where every…

Naw man, FF6 is perfect as-is.

Sure, I’d prefer to have more new games, but Nintendo does not have unlimited resources.  Bigger games are coming, eventually.  In the meantime, ports are better than not having ports.  The existence of ports does not hurt, and they cost a tiny fraction of the development of new games.  In any case, the Switch has…

What does Tim Rogers have against Banjo-Kazooie?  I used to admire you, Tim ;_;

Would love an HD remake of SM64. It doesn’t even need to be a huge overhaul. SM64 is my favorite Mario, but the camera controls and movement are a little bit janky compared to Sunshine and beyond. If it’s 60FPS with modern Mario controls I would buy it in a second.

I think that challenge in video games is rewarding in a different way from other things. The fact that it’s so divorced from real-world progress is a feature, not a bug. When I put work into things that really matter for me and my life and career, it’s ultimately more rewarding (and lucrative) - but it’s also rather…
