Santa Blanca’s explicitly a Mexican cartel that moved into Bolivia. I know Wildlands is set in Bolivia. Bolivia literally complained to France about the game.

They most certainly have that right.

Valkyrie Profile remains as one of my all time favorite games so this caught my eye years ago and I’ve been eagerly awaiting it ever since!

I’ve been waiting for this since you brought it to my attention 4 years ago. I picked up on the Valkyrie Profile connection and fell in love. It’s been a long time coming and I’m ready to dive in.

You look absolutely foolish saying this when there is literally not one super negative comment on this post, yet.

1) Grinding exp has never been hard, just tedious.

This is a fundamental game theory question, at its core. It may be varnished over with questions of monetization of our game time, but there’s a good argument to be made for the game theory side too. The “fun” you’re advocating for is often illusory, the fun wherein players are relatively easily able to achieve the…

Maybe it’s to keep people around longer since there does seem to be an stronger emphasis on post-game content this time around. (And TBH some things like the Mayhem Modes and Guardian Points would have been great to have at the start of the game.) Although I don’t really see why. Maybe to keep people engaged longer…

In their defense, DA Origins was one of the earlier games to implement DLC as a move away from a proper expansion. And most developers at the time was still grasping with how and what to do with it. As bad as it was at least it wasn’t horse armor.

I remember the developer releasing a statement about how how the massive delays were caused by his severe struggles with mental health and anxiety over his own game’s quality throughout development. Knowing that honestly makes this entire situation so much more tragic.

“Clueless” is right there in the title.

But there’s not even any whimsy, things are just represented as-is with no transformative perspective or commentary. It’s like a very, very esoteric version of a See n’ Say

What it has to be is something beyond pointless. None of the strips ever add anything to the conversation, they just... Explain gamer culture very plainly? Do they realize their audience is gamers?

You know what though? As a dude who did not play Pokemon Go. . .It was really cool to watch those first few weeks of people playing. Outside areas that were usually empty were full of people and i kind of got a kick out of people coming up to me to ask me questions about what team I was on anytime I took my phone out.…

I think MediEvil could have received the graphical and sound updates while also gaining a few quality of life improvements, like modern camera control, inventory/weapons management, tweaks to make the jumping less frustrating, and tweaks to make the combat slightly less frustrating (for me, mainly aiming with the…

“In playing it, I found swords and throw daggers, traipsed about a graveyard picking up collectibles, and opened plenty of locked doors. MedIEvil is a straightforward game, almost entirely linear, except for some occasional branching pathways that soon lead back to the main area again. It feels like an arcade game, a…

MediEvil is a curious game. Generally acknowledged by critics as thoroughly mediocre at the time of release, it nevertheless became something of a cult favourite perhaps due to it’s Burton-esque art design and nice visuals for the hardware. I remember being very underwhelmed by the gameplay and it seems a…

I am of the same opinion, but I feel that comparing Medievil to the remake of Wonder Boy and Link’s awakening is kinda unfair. One is a 2D platformer which had a gameplay and level design offering more possibilities to upgrade it and the other is a truly solid adventure that only needed modern QOL update to be on par…

Why apologize? Because I don’t think we should be running uncensored screenshots of animations of young characters from popular fiction having sex. I’m not saying we should write about it or even in some fashion show people what it is we’re talking about, but how we presented it exceeded what many readers expected.

I…

Noted, but I don’t have control of that. My focus was on addressing the readers. I’ll ask our tech people if that’s possible, but it’s not an option I’ve pursued. I tend to not think about advertisers when we run our posts.
