The first sections are fine, ‘We are an Epic exclusive because Epic promised us a lot of money’. Great, that’s hard to turn down, we understand.  ‘Now we and our families feel more secure.’ Well good.

While I support their decision to do what makes sense for their company, especially financially, it felt like their counterarguments were mixed between easy lob shots and fraught fallacies:

oh yeah dude. huge oversight on my part not including a lengthy aside disavowing ariana grande in this post. I'll get right on that 

I don’t want to spoil myself; but was it the shot in which the seven robotic elephants link together and transform into a huge starship which immediately enters the Metaspatial Skein and in doing so incinerates 100 square miles of pristine wilderness, including all the animals in the cast, and bathes twice again as…

It’s easy to talk about “mental health” when it’s someone like me who’s depression just causes them to shut down and hide away, or someone who’s anxiety can stress out or frustrate the people around them.

From that link you posted:

I just hope they fix some of the issues that new colossus had. That game had some really.. I don’t wanna say /bad/ level design but they definitely did not follow best practices and there’s several areas of the game that are kinda misleading or non obvious which way to go or how to progress.

Honestly, and I say this as a big fan of Nintendo, the Joy-Cons are one of the biggest ripoffs in the console gaming world today.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

I put both ODST and Reach over the trilogy, and 4 and 5 are firmly at the bottom. 

IDK what you’re talking about. Reach had one of the best campaigns in the whole series. 

Which would likely be a tiny percentage. Most players aren’t going to base anything about how they feel about the games on the books.

Wasn’t Reach known for having the best campaign in the series?

Joy-con issues.

Nothing wrong in having a contingency plan when you mess with Nintendo.

I bought my Vita just to play Muramasa Rebirth. It was totally worth it. It’s a gorgeous game (especially on the older Vita models that had the OLED screen) and the DLC character stories are all pretty fantastic. I especially love Okoi and the Demon girl, they’re so fun to play as.

I’d highly recommend it, even if you…

Easily, EASILY one of my favorite games of the NES era. I rented it so many times, the owner for the video store let me keep it eventually.

I’m so happy to see an article on this game. It was my favourite one growing up and whenever anyone would ask what my favourite was, I’d say Crystalis but no one else knew of it. I always felt it deserved much more recognition than it received. As a child the death of Stom was my Aerith and I would use his name in…

It really is an often forgotten, underrated classic.

Yes, EA is indeed responsible for a lot.
