Being a “traditional” capital G Gamer before that was even a thing, I believe to some extent caring about what others think about your gaming habits is by itself self-defeating. I mean, outside of my friends we didn’t care who like Doom, or Space Quest or Space Harrier or Defenders or Phantasy Star. As I’ve grown…

For an entry level game, sure.

Here’s the thing - what people will tolerate and what they won’t is largely an arbitrary line which is both personal but at the same time social.

I feel like Sony is a better match if it’s going to be in the Japan market. Perhaps everyone involved has changed over at this point - but sort of like Nintendo laughing at Microsoft’s offer to buy them when they weren’t at the top, you’d have to think long time Sega corporate execs and staffs would bristle at the…

As a Sega fan, you have described a nightmare that would give me cold sweats. Let Sony by them. Or Microsoft. Or literally anyone else.

The idea that your online persona isn’t “the real you” doesn’t actually only cut against people with outside parasocial relationships on the “right end”.

It would be nice if it could have been earlier but Supreme Court schedules don’t match election cycles. So his choices if he were not to just quit in the middle of the docket, were to either retire while Republicans still had control of the Presidency or wait until the end of the next term where Republicans didn’t…

I wish someone would ungrey me just because commenting is kind of pointless like this.

My issue is that the boss fight in Persona 5 Royal for Okumura as so bad and is such a game breaking flaw, Royal doesn’t belong ahead of its originating game. There’s a lot of content that’s locked behind either “hint guiding” your way through it or just already being built properly to execute the mechanic the game…

Pretty sure if G4 is aiming for any demographic, Kotaku is not going to overlap it.

It’s not just that they were doing things in house.

This is the correct take away.

Nah - look at the list again. It’s highly national and highly “brand” focused. It’s very notable how Sega, despite being a big part of the scene for a period of years really isn’t a player here. I mean NO Sonic the Hedgehog? Not even a 99? Really? More than 5 Mario games including Dr. Mario, more than 5 Dragon Quests,…

I mean aren’t its positives the same way though?

He’s saying 5 years after 5 years which is 10 years. BoTW is fine, but it was a cultural moment, and like all cultural moments it will fade... eventually.

I think the biggest question with Genshin is given the crackdown on gacha internationally over time - is there going to be a modification if the game is going to continue into the future.

Ungreying you.

I also think people confuse fragility with having a rational disagreement.

Depends on the are of the country and the context.  By in large, no.  In specific contexts, yes.

I think the problem is both cracker and mayo are meant as such by a no longer ironic portion of people.
