No matter how full the cup got, it was impossible to tell who was going to come out the loser.

Quake 2 being id’s best single player game is a corona of the sun level hot take. Doom plays a hell of a lot better today.

Same thing Kodak thought when they invented the digital camera. The film business was booming and they didn’t want to mess with film sales by offering customers a new technology that didn’t require film.

I love the Kairosoft games, but they went downhill when they started releasing sequels with microtransactions.  Grand Prix Story is probably my most played Kairosoft game.  However, it’s sequel is awful because of the aforementioned microtransactions.  They need to stick with what makes their games good imo.

I realized my pithy remark comes off as callow.

If you’re knocking a Kirby game for it’s simplicity then you haven’t been paying attention for the past 30 years

I remember during the Trump years right wing idiots saying we should support him because “he is OUR President”. Strangely don’t hear those people saying the same thing about Biden. 

I will support my country in any situation without thinking for a second!

A game that requires an internet connection even for single player mode is a total no-go for me. This is just stupid.

i wanted to when it first launched but nah the game was too janky. maybe it’s solid now but why go back when shredders is right there and it’s way better?

“wHo’s nOt aLwAyS OnLiNe tHeSe dAyS AnYwAy?”

I play Forza Horizon without an internet connection regularly. Of course multiplayer events don’t work, but apart from that the full game is there and playable.

So where are all the people handwaving the the always-online single player requirement because “who doesn’t have a stable internet connection today?”

I was interested in GT7 until I heard micro transactions. NOPE.

So... don’t use it based on drama and shit that happened 4-5 years ago? When emulators that are active generally change a hell of a lot in that time?

I’m going to watch The Batman the proper way – six months from now, on my phone, in the bathroom, in 47 3.8-minute installments.

I’d take the lame jokes over the intentionally unhelpful messages that are designed to get other players killed.

Yeah, no. It’s the same stupid jokes over and over. They waste time and, I assume, the limited number of messages that are displayed at any time in an area are being wasted on stale jokes. I hate them and I hate that this article is going to encourage more of them. I wish there was a “funny” tag for them so I could…

It’s not easy being cheesy.

Possible that the companies don’t really think they’re worth it. Microsoft already has Call of Duty, so they don’t need any of Ubisoft’s shooters, and Sony now has Destiny, so they don’t need any other looter shooter. Rayman and the Rabbids are only really profitable on the Switch right now. Assassin’s Creed and Far…
