This is like saying the Beatles are the most overrated band.  It doesn’t actually matter if you’re right or not, because you’re only saying it to pick a boring, tired fight anyway.  

Everybody’s always ready to call Kojima out on his intentionally outlandish (or on the nose) naming system, but no one wants to mention how fucking sick that transforming bike is. SMH

I did not know that—and it definitely adds some context to the whole thing.

Still, I’d be a liar if I didn’t say I’m kinda hoping that Die-Hardman is but the first of eight robot masters that must be faced down, destroyed, and consumed for their power before going on to topple the megalomaniacal designs of a…

For what it’s worth, KJP’s mascot is named after Homo Ludens, a book about “the importance of the play element of culture and society,” according to Wikipedia. So there is precedent for this naming convention, and considering Die-Hardman has a Ludens facemask, it’s possible that there will be other things in the game…

I’m reasonably certain that “Homo Demons” is meant as a species-variation name (like Homo Erectus, Homo Sapiens, etc.), rather than any sort of untoward reference.

...then again, this is the man who gave us about the most eighth-grade bit of wish-fulfillment pablum ever to explain Quiet’s mode of dress, and who…

Over fifty percent of foreign tourists currently come from mainland China and South Korea.

Nope. You’d be like a rock star, for a time at least. You will feel eyes glued to you. Depending on where you go, some of those folks have never seen a living breathing person of African descent. Even in those areas that have been traversed by people of African descent (Okinawa, US bases) you will still get stares,…

“Lots” ... this word, I don’t think it means what you think it means...

On the other hand if you’re trying to assimilate thousands of foreign-language words into your language, would you rather create a bazillion kanji everyone would have to memorize, or would you rather spell them phonetically?

That’s pretty ironic coming from japan where they take thousands of foreign names and words and fuck them a ton with Katakana.

You can't be 'a little confused' about what cities mean in the context of this article, but also know enough about that same usage and context to offer other city-like terms as a correction. 

Several are literally illegible. How is that an R in Tritris?

Gods, these are completely terrible. What marketing department would approve an illegible logo? And whose idea was the Virtual Boy crimson monochrome color scheme? A blind person?

Dogs are technically not allowed in bars in my city. One time, a newspaper ran a listicle of all the best dog-friendly bars in town. The city promptly visited those bars and warned them against allowing dogs, making them dogless.

I think what sawbone is suggesting is that you’re pointing out the best dog-friendly bars.

Probably since reporting on these sorts of projects in the past has lead to them getting C&D

You can’t review a game you don’t own. That’s already how it works. I logged into Steam in my browser to double check, and yes, you cannot review a game you do not own, or one that is not released.

I don’t know that there is a way to review without purchase

It’s not heartless, it’s consistent.

This is an interesting question, but one that I think ultimately leads back to the same answer: If a game is receiving numerous reviews—negative or positive—for reasons other than the quality of the game itself, then those reviews should be kept, but moved into an area that does not affect the game’s overall aggregate…
