I agree with the OP — the excessive brutality and violence and occasional moments of nihilistic sadism in the first game were my least favorite part, but I actually thought the scene with the surgeon was necessary. It cast doubt on all the earlier moments of violence and made you question the agency and moral…

Square has more misses than hits in the remaster department judging from their history with the FF titles.

This was a surprisingly delightful article. The secret to the humor, I would say, vaguely paraphrasing an interview with Jerry Seinfeld I recently read in the Times, is how much you committed to the seriousness of the piece.

The algorithms, probably, aren’t banning posts with the word ‘weed’ (or marijuana) when by itself. They are banning when coupled with ‘buy’ or ‘sell’. Very unlikely that Facebook would have changed its policies on impermissible content based on a request from Nintendo, unless it's the result of a specific request…

Heartbreaking, all this

“This post completely and intentionally ignores the above realities in favor of some over intellectualized, toothless faux-journalism.

Troll!

“Body odor."

Why did this make it past the filter? Disagree with the writer if you want, but this is way past any line of reasonableness into unambiguous asshole-troll territory.

I picked up P5 cheap when Royal was announced: I love the style, visuals, world, etc., but wasn’t won over by the combat mechanics or the dungeon crawling. Same thing happened with P4. I wish combat and non-combat gameplay were more enmeshed, so I don't have to take a break from the fun social sim stuff to spend 5…

If I bit into a Twinkie and found a kitten inside I would be pretty upset

Nintendo is just trying to deter any cheating in the hardcore competitive Animal Crossing scene. I say kudos to you, Nintendo, for taking a strong stance

Dude, cutscenes are not cheaper or easier to make than gameplay. 25 hours of main story plus side missions sounds like plenty of game for most people. And while most folks here wouldn’t jump to defend a major corporation’s desire to capitalize on their products, they will probably jump at the chance to smack down your…

I think the “until your soul has been saved” demonstrates some self aware irony on the writer’s part, and certainly a large donation to charity would be a non terrible place to start

I’m glad all of you people who don’t think of Apu as a racist stereotype live in utopian, non-racist parts of the US, where when white people encounter an Indian person for the first time, they don’t immediately say “thank you, come again” in Apu’s voice. I’m happy you’ve been spared that, but you’ll just have to…

Captain EO hopefully one day will be considered a camp masterpiece (though MJ’s starring role certainly works against it, given what we know now)

I don't particularly need to sort or organize my library, but I would greatly appreciate the ability to sort my eShop wish list.

Actually, both the commenters and the staff writers bring it up frequently. It's corporate's fault.

Surprised by the first paragraph because when I read fashion disasters in the headline I specifically thought Bayonetta. I HATE her circa-2004 square glasses and ‘sexy as interpreted through lens of computer programmer' aesthetic for reasons I don't entirely understand 

Great movie. I also thought he was good in Funny People, so long as we're hear listing names
