Can’t argue with that.

I am generally into everything Ninja. If you’re into ninjas, you should check out “The Messenger”. It’s a fun yet challenging romp inspired by Ninja Gaiden, without any of the BS. It’s a fun time with a LOT of surprises both in mechanics and gameplay. Plus, dat soundtrack.

His words lose weight if he doesn’t address Japan’s history of horrific war crimes, something that is an endemic problem in Japan. Is it fair towards Miyazaki? No, it’s not. But until Japan as a society has a reckoning with their past and fully accepts (apologizing would be great start) it is going to be the elephant

+1 to all of this. This thread was killing me until I got to your comment. Thank you!

You said it perfect. It’s just like a great playground I jump back into one or twice a week. I don’t care about rank or cosmetics really but it can be fun to try and steal treasure from others or protect your own. Just a fun time. 

Contra is a definite buy. Including the first game is a great move, given you couldn’t buy it in the Wii store (still have my Wii with all of the Virtual Console games I bought). Also, I hope they include the Genesis game (“Hard Corps”) and the PS2 game, which was insanely difficult.

Boy howdy! This legitimately makes my week

This is the first of FIVE Splitscreens for the week. :)

any executives seeing this comment: no. please give me an office with no windows.

i’m not a huge fan of single player games but unfortunately some of my favorite games have terrible, generic stories (borderlands2, kz2) or non-important stories (mw3, counter strike). essentially i’m all fun game play which serves me well because i rarely seem to experience games where the story doesn’t seem like an

It’s not post-apocalyptic (per se), and I know the creator’s views are shit, but I really loved how Orson Scott Card handled Ender’s reaction to being tricked into murdering millions of aliens in Speaker for the Dead and the other Ender’s Game sequels. That series takes such a sharp turn thematically but it works in

Children of Men (the film, haven’t read the book) came close. But doesn’t touch the bleakness of, say, On the Beach (the novel, haven’t seen the film.)

I know I’m not supposed to take any of this seriously and FPS is not expected to be a genre for serious thought, but it was kind of unnerving to me that with two recent games (Fallout 76, New Dawn), nuclear apocalypse is pretty much handwaved away and things are still, relatively vibrant/pretty/survivable.

Favorite animal game - Ecco the dolphin. Wasn’t just about normal animal stuff either. They managed to get aliens, monsters, and time-travel into that series.

Thanks for the input! And thanks for reading! 

Valve doesn’t ban people in the way you are implying for cheating. They hand you a vac ban which bans you only from playing online in games that has VAC anti cheat enabled. You still have access to your library and everything else steam provides including online access to multiplayer in games that aren’t vac enabled.

Yep, when they put their money where their mouth is and cut off revenue from those individuals, that’s when I’ll believe they give more than a passing, reactionary shit.

Banning IP’s is pointless since almost nobody has a dedicated IP address. And those that do can afford to change it.

“Steam does ban people though, it’s banned people for cheats, etc. and those accounts all had games and those people are shit out of luck.”

Yes you can. Steam is a private service with a Terms of Use all users agree too. If you violate the Terms of Use you can totally be banned. Steam is not a Government, nor a public right, it is owned by Valve a private company and they can ban whomever they want.
