the few I’ve seen so far were freaking awesome. These people are awesome. Gotta love games! I’m def planning on watching more.

“I’m sure you can think of an example of something you DO care about that it would bother you if it was different.”

I’m super excited to play this game and could care less. Why supposed “gamers” can’t comprehend that making a game is extremely difficult is beyond me.

I may end up giving it a shot if the mood strikes me and when the price goes down. There’s so many good games in the $10-$20 region I have a hard time justifying buying a $40 game that is getting hammered in reviews on consoles. If I buy it it’d be on the Switch and supposedly it just has a lot of issues running on…

I think you have a deep misunderstanding of how the Chinese government operates. I’m not an expert by a long shot, but to characterize businesses as having “too much power” in China where the government rigidly controls business, media, the people, communication, etc. is, I think, a very large overstatement. A…

Yes I’m aware of all the philosophical debates around bias and how it’s impossible to not have bias when reviewing something. I’m obviously not debating whether or not a human can be truly objective. I’m just saying there’s no actual concrete bias for or against the game in the article. He’s just reviewing it and…

I’m confused - you’re attributing decrease in poverty in communist China to capitalism?

If you think that’s a long rambling post you clearly haven’t read some of my other posts lol. I’m just leaving my thoughts in the comments section, which is what a comments section is for.

“It seems these games aren’t meant for you, you should go play something else.” I know....that’s why I said it doesn’t seem like I will like the game based off playing CoM and the review and the videos I’ve seen.

“Literally the first line for a review of a game catering to genre fans.”

I know that. However the design choice to base Curse of the Moon around NES mechanics, instead of updating them (ie: how Shovel Knight, which I love, does a great job of modernizing NES combat and movement by allowing for more directions and greater control) made me think that the creators would make the same choice…

“but up front, it sure sounds a whole lot like “I hate metroidvanias: the Bloodstained Review”.”

you need to learn to separate your overemotional reactions to critiques of video games from reality. There’s nothing biased in this piece at all. It’s a generally positive review calling the game a success at what it wanted to be. He offered a critique as it stands up against modern games of the same genre and how a…

This explains exactly why I’ve had zero interest in getting this game. I played Curse of the Moon and thought it was awful. It’s one thing to like a game cuz it reminds you of old games. It’s another thing entirely to say a game with 30 year old gameplay mechanics, made back then solely due to limitations and not…

It’s that exact type of thinking that is the issue, IMO. Poverty being solved has absolutely nothing to do with capitalism. Every single progressive movement and law passed has been DIRECTLY fought against by pro-capitalist groups, politicians, businesses, etc. You know what’s helped end poverty? Medicaid, food…

Game so good. Game...so....good...

that is really awesome, great job bear parker!

Capitalism is an economic philosophy. It’s the belief that private ownership of property fueled through people’s supposed inherent self-interest is the only fair way to operate society and leads to greater good through profits, trade, competition, etc.

It’s in response to the part of the episode where they discuss capitalism and labor rights in reference to the Kotaku article on COD Black Ops 4.

I’m really looking forward to Outer Wilds. It’s my type of game and y’all are getting me excited about it!
