It’s a cost-saving measure—and probably a highly-effective one at that, though XIII had multiple DLC characters added over with the necessary 2D artwork. I suspect SNK-Playmore needed it in the face of the game being completely absent from arcades at launch (a planned arcade release on NESiCAxLive cabinets hasn’t been…

To be fair, this isn’t the App Store—it’s possible, but unlikely.

Sush! You know Nintendo reads these things, right?

The handful of people I know online who saw this described it as “Black Widow does (blank).” So, “Black Widow fights a multiped tank,” or “Black Widow leads a hostage rescue unit,” or “Black Widow explores transhumanism,” etc.

After about a decade of building and upgrading gaming PCs, I’ve established how I feel about it: I don’t like it. I can also build remote controlled model aircraft (though I never got into the drone hobby for one reason or another)—not everyone enjoys doing that. That’s fine—I don’t find it particularly difficult, in…

They still managed to find time to claim it was going to change everything forever (TM)—and rather loudly. Well, businesses do that sometimes.

Hey, people thought No Man’s Sky was going to sell consoles too! Not exactly Breath of the Wild to put it mildly...

Wow, we’re going to have to politely disagree—I think Halo Wars 2 is a great game. I wouldn’t claim it’s better than RE7 (that’s a hard comparison to make), but I would certainly say it’s a gem in a very underrepresented genre this generation, a pleasure to control, and just flat-out fun if you like that game—if you…

Resident Evil 7 for $40, now this for $35...too many deals!

5400 RPM. Generally speaking, almost every “passport” style external drive is 5400 RPM (as are all the drives that ship with consoles, with the lone exception of one SKU of the XB1, the one with a “hybrid” drive). If it’s small enough to easily fit in a hand, and doesn’t have an external power source, generally…

Potentially worth noting: it’s a 5400 RPM drive, which makes it slower than the 7200 RPM “performance” spinning drives (and quieter, which is a plus). Then again, so is the drive that ships with every model of Playstation 4 as far as a I know, so that’s not a deal breaker—but if the post-update situation is similar to…

“Ironic” in the context of the original topic/list criteria, not of Marcus’ behavior. I actually don’t disagree about Marcus having a varied group of acquaintances through the series.

There are a lot of others who I suppose would count as “brooding white guys” in Marcus’ company, though you’re correct about his immediate circle of acquaintances. There’s also Hoffman. And you can be sure they’d be a lot more irritating, and probably a lot less upbeat, if Marcus somehow had metaphorically (and…

I wasn’t qualified to judge the fashion choices of the game back in 2003, and I’m certainly not now, but I actually enjoyed Final Fantasy X-2 much more than its predecessor due to the very different combat system combined with a more straightforward, less thought-demanding skill acquisition method. Granted, you only…

I stand corrected! Thank you!

Now Nier: Automata is out in Japan and soon coming to the West, expect more and more cosplayers to bring the main gynoid protagonist to life. 

Interesting theory! If so, considering how good Gears of War 4 was, it paid off. I stand by statement, Sony take a note with Killzone (or maybe they already have...).

Gears of War: Judgment came out in 2013. I consider the time between that and the forth game completely reasonable—especially considering GOW4's actual predecessor came out in 2011 (and Judgment is generally considered a potentially skippable supplement which experimented with mechanics in gameplay and storytelling…

Technically, Phantom Dust isn’t canceled. But then again, it was barely declared either.
