“Now is the time..... FOR PROGRESS!!"

That being said, I really enjoyed the last battle of Episode Gladiolus, and the version of the well-known theme was composed by NieR composer Keiichi Okabe, so that part gets a pass from me, at the very least.

Me and the wife have three gaming stations set-up and ready to go in my living room. The main one, hooked up to the TV across the couch, with the desktop computer, PS2, PS3, PS4 and WiiU connected at all times. The second one, with a 10 inch TV on a table on the side of the couch and a 35 feet HDMI cable running…

That’s the problem with rushing through games - you miss nuance.

No a huge fan of the Gladio DLC either, but I do find it funny that the exact reason you hate Gladio is the reason why I love him as part of this group of friends so much.

Stories can be well-explored and told well even if they’re ‘rushed out the door’ in games. Fire Emblem Path of Radiance(imo, a better protagonist-focused, world-building story)and Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn are examples of this in recent memory, with the latter you can see the cracks in the writing briefly when some…

I’ve been a freelance designer for years and I sure do like getting paid for my work, but I’m not sure that any kind of equitable scenario exists here.

The other catch is that, as ample as the offerings for PSVR have been, Sony itself remains curiously hesitant to cook up its most marketable dish. While Valve is making a bona fide new Half-Life game (not announced for PSVR, sadly) to sell the virtual reality gaming experience, Sony has had a three-year opportunity…

Why does it always seem like no one even mentions JRPGs or other Japanese games when the topic of console exclusives, particularly third-party exclusives, comes up?

is it difficult being this boring of a person

So, just so I get this straight. You saw an article of a sequel to a game you refer to as “mediocre”, saw the length of the article, and decided “I’m going to go the comment section and complain about something I don’t enjoy”. Does that sum it up?

Duder not to nitpick but you don’t need to describe Ellie as a “young queer woman” I’m a lesbian and the best thing you can do for gays is to not let that define us even if we have partners ya know? Like you don’t need to describe JD Fenix as a young Angelo Saxton cismale he’s just some guy, like “it” not mattering is…

Korn is one of my favorite bands and I never knew any of this about Jon. That's crazy. And awesome as hell. 

I could read endless articles like this about which famous people like games and which games they play. 

What a goddamned mood.

Sometimes I get that instinct and it’s an honest incitement to do better, and I do. And I feel masterful. S ratings for sure, or the odd no hit boss fight, or especially perfect stealth runs are my weakness.

Awesome read, especially because it reminds me of my adolescence while showing me what a similar routine was for the generation after mine. On the weekends my Dad had me in middle school, he’d pick me up from bowling league (late) and then drop me off at the mall with money for quarters/tokens so he could go back to…

Thanks for the great article. For most of my adult life I’ve dealt with stress, anxiety, and depression by diving into what I’ve realized lately is a group of games that scratches a very specific itch. I’ve been especially stressed this summer, and just the other day I realized that my desire to focus on replaying…

Kids who just want to play Pokémon. 

I read the first few paragraphs before it seemed to be abundantly clear that you have an axe to grind with this type of game and should not be the one reviewing it.  I stopped reading there.
