I am conflicted. I have no problem with premium customization being a grind fest, with having top tier armor and weapons being rare drops. Having these trophy pieces is a way to show off in the game. But at the same time, having ALL decent gear being locked behind a gate of getting to reputation 3 (and not telling…

I will respectfully disagree with your assessment. I won’t deny that there’s a lot of cynicism directed at Square, but I feel no need to defend them. Partly because I’m cynical myself. My opinion of Square in the past ten years has been “games that Look Pretty, for a certain aesthetic, but tend to lack substance” …

Park Spooky-ass does have a nice ring to it.

It’s a niche. For you (it sounds), it establishes the stakes, and heightens gameplay for you. It’s a measure of skill, and it punishes you harshly when you aren’t good at the game. You get satisfaction from a game demanding you be good at it. And that’s fine. It’s that kind of mentality that loves Dark Souls for…

I kind of love seeing all the salt coming from people posting here, and then I come into my office and EVERYONE is talking about how they have already preordered their Switch.

I love this story. I’m an avid bodybuilder, and I got into it for cosplay purposes (and in 2015 I cosplayed as Nappa). Dragon Ball Z was a huge influence on me, as was Full Metal Alchemist’s Armstrong. It’s been 4 years now, becoming 5 of working out to make myself better, and stronger.

Craig, I was thinking the same thing. I was never a huge sonic fan, but this looks like an absolute joy to just cut loose and run. The Sonic games are great when they flow and have speed, but the slightest error means jolting out of that flow and disrupting the game. This seems like an excellent way around that…

I can actually vouch for some of this. I Moved to Tokyo in ‘89 for three years. The apartment building in the background? That was literally the apartment building across the street from mine

For now, No Man’s Sky is definitely going to be made by it’s Mods. I am glad that the Modding community is growing, and I really hope Hello Games is paying attention to what comes out of the fans. I still enjoy the game, but I haven’t even gotten out of my home system yet. I have two mods right now (one suggested…

Huh... I’ve never seen something like this before. It’s a novel idea. I like the character design, it’s subdued compared to some other characters, but still full of flavor. I am very curious how the sleep will work reliably, because it seems like it will be an ugly interrupt on people’s ultimates.

Speaking personally, I admire muscular women. I know how much work it takes, and what you have to put yourself through to get there (I bodybuild myself). I find Zarya’s character attractive, and wish there were more art that presented her as a beautiful woman who is muscular instead of manish, though I also accept…

I personally much prefer the idea of her being straight or mostly straight, because the moment that we make her butch gay, we make her back into a stereotype. Blizzard added Zarya as a sign of diversity, a sign that the cast doesn’t have to fit any single mold. I like the character, I like her design, I like what she…

Hell, I want to play as an Elcor, or a Hanar, or a Rachni. I like Science fiction that embraces that not all aliens are going to look like humans.

Man, Blizzard is knocking these videos out of the park. I absolutely agree that if they were to just animate this in a movie, I’d see it. The characters have been interesting (though I feel Widowmaker is a little bit forced? And the french accent is a little off at times. Neither are game breakers, but room for…

I have to say that I actually hate the art style of the Monogatari series. To the point that after trying to watch Bakemonogatari I found the style so jarring that I had to stop before I finished a single episode.

I’m pretty okay with the new design, to be honest. I like the idea of the style of Ken being more distinct. I’ve never much cared for playing a bunch of subtly different Ryu’s. They’re taking risks with a character, and I look forward to the end result.

Yeaaah, if they include some sort of building mechanic similar to minecraft, I will be gone. I’ll buy a Rift, Plug myself in, and die of dehydration

I can’t help but look at this with some trepidation. The last time there were leaks for Smash, we lost Story Mode. Now, most players don’t seem to care, but I loved the Smash Story Mode and I wish it were still around. Sakurai has the tendency to take things back when surprises have been ruined. We might not see these…

I definitely agree with that. I'm a bodybuilding gamer. I get people who tell me about their fun workouts, and in my own mind I mutter about grinding through a hundred reps of leg press, or slogging through a 5 mile run at my lousy ten minute mile. There's repetition, and boring long hauls, there's pain, there's…

I'm with you there. I'm excited to see the character. Hell, it makes me actually want to play the game, something that I had yet to feel about Overwatch. But I am concerned that they are going to make one or two characters and then say they have done all their token body types. I would love it if they were bold…
