Take it in a new direction? Ah shit. Not battle royale, not battle royale...

I got Raft. Which I’ve never heard of. I’ll go research it but if it’s yet another survival/Minecraft thing on the ocean I’ll be playing Dark Souls or Fable Anniversary (don’t know why I started that again but it’s fun).

And then when sales are crap is it still going to be a smackdown?

How come he gets a pass on his shit past? Are you going to shed tears for Cosby when he dies? Trump? Do you think Hitler was misunderstood? The guy was an asshole that died. Plenty do all the time. He’s as worthy of respect as any other asshole that wishes cancer on others. To some of us that amount is none. Fuck him,…

Are we breaking with the idea that big games get a Friday release? Or am I vastly underestimating the hype for Detroit? Because David Cage went straight into the trash after the middle finger he gave me with Heavy Rain. I didn’t think anyone really cared about his games anymore.

I thought we had collectively written off millennials a few years ago? Maybe it was just me.

Why would you remake Sunshine in the 64 engine? Has the nostalgia scene gone to low poly now or something?

You were too impatient to wait a few weeks and not have this problem. That has nothing to do with Bungie.

No, the Ancients are the slog. Trolls become a 20 second encounter pretty quickly (just go into rage and pound them to a pulp) but Ancients require you to throw the axe in their open chest hole dodging energy rays and bombs. It’s not exactly challenging if you pay attention but it’s just so damn slow and tedious.

I’ve always found this a really dumb question. They’re robots. What if they can think and feel? Well they’re still robots. Nothing is ever going to convince me a robot is on the same level as a person. And we kill people already so it’s kinda moot. In fact we not only kill people, we justify it all the time in all…

She should be mad she has friends that have cocktails at lunch. Bit strong for that early in the day. Then again being an alcoholic has become acceptable for some reason so whatever, risk your kids health over boozy friends that can’t have fun without it.

I can’t even give a snarky answer and say Playstation or Nintendo because either would exclude the other. There are too many exceptional RPGs across too many platforms to narrow it down much. Earthbound is special to me as a 12 year old living in Americana bliss but becoming aware of the world. FFIX was my escape from…

Oh fuck off. Not everything has to be some mature, respectful story that fits your world view. Sometimes juvenile, puerile, braindead entertainment is good. Even great. We wouldn’t have like 8 of these games if they were terrible. Believe it or not, plenty of games are made that aren’t designed for you. And that’s ok.…

Funny, I find myself ignoring the eshop because it’s nothing but indies and the majority are trash. I’m not sure what you think makes this one stand out from the dozens of others released every month.

$80 is a LOT for a kid toy with little longevity. I have a 3 year old and I refuse to get one at anywhere near full price. I mean we’re talking about kids here, cardboard around one has a life span of days, not weeks or months. My outrage was that a good idea is massively overpriced. I can’t justify a few smiles for a…

So the how is “with computers”? Wow. Very unexpected. Did they use the actors’ voices for the audio? Maybe some camera to film parts?

After TLJ I don’t see why I would bother. I don’t want to set my kids up for disappointment the way I had to get hit by it. Watching something you love be mocked and murdered in front of you isn’t fun. I already put my copies of the other films away so my daughter doesn’t ask.

The Kotaku review says it doesn’t have enough heavy handed liberal politics? Sold. I just went from vaguely wanting it to can’t wait to play.

Yeah, those poor people making top 10% wages need to make more and take longer to do it. That couldn’t possibly go wrong in an industry already plagued by high costs and delays.

These are games available for a fraction of the cost elsewhere. If you are so stuck up Nintendo’s ass that you’re willing to pay two or three times as much PER GAME to play titles from years ago then by all means. But that is a losing model. In a given year you could easily cover the cost of a PS4 plus a game or two…
