“It seems to be for spending bits on any channels and seems to just be a bonus, so who cares?” another said.

They weren’t really fun in single player either. I can appreciate the want for realism and trying to teach you the “proper” way to race, but I could never advance in single player on GTwhateverthelastonewas past the Top Gear test track because you’d be tightly clumped together in an already tight corner and get…

Blind bags typically have a ratio of what your chances are to score what you’re looking for. On top of that, you can just buy a case of blind bags and are guaranteed to get what you are looking for. You can dump thousands of dollars into a loot box and never get anything that you’re looking for.

The CCG comparison does make a little sense, though I think a better comparison would be arcade games that pay out in tickets. The game will always pump out tickets, but generally is rigged to ensure that you keep pumping in quarters. At least CCG booster packs tend to have a guaranteed ratio of good to crap cards in…

I want to give this game a try, but I tend to get overly attached to my game characters. For instance, it actively bothers me that I can’t find one of my Tiny Tower residents their dream job because their stats are so low that they can’t be happy doing anything else. The thought of the game characters in this game…

Insert mandatory Half-Life 3 confirmed comment

The 2nd edition threw out some of the haunts and made the various chips that represent monsters/etc generic to streamline gameplay a bit. It also swapped out a few item cards. Of the two, 2nd edition is probably the better game, since it corrects a lot of the balance issues and frustration of the 1st edition (plus, it…

Maybe he means that the Playstation 3 mindset is starting to set in at Sony. After the success of PS2, Sony walked into the PS3 thinking they could do no wrong and didn’t really feel the need to “try”. It took them a couple years to recover from that. With the PS4 family doing so well, there are hints of that mindset…

Of all the “let’s make an American movie out of this” anime properties, this is probably the hardest one to truly screw up.

Maybe this is in response to the recent Pewdiepie drama? By not endorsing live streaming, Nintendo wouldn’t be associated with any potential future scandals. (Yes, this is a great over-reaction, but this is Nintendo)

I used to dabble with one of the earlier versions of RPG Maker, and like you, it gave me a bit more appreciation of just what goes into making a game (though I know it will never compare to someone building one from scratch).

Is it really that surprising though? “Successful multi-platform game is being ported to successful console.” It would be surprising if Inside was announced for the Wii U. For the Switch? Inevitable.

I get kind of a Lost Vikings vibe from this.

This is kind of a situation where Nintendo is damned either way. If they leave things as is, then their customers feel shafted for having a ridiculously small run of what proved to be a popular item and were forced to resort to third party resale at a huge mark-up. But, by announcing now, so late in the game, that…

If you hand me twelve cards and there were three each of “RED” “BLUE” “GREEN” and “YELLOW” and I only spoke Farsi, I’d still be able to match the cards up based on “RED” not being the same as “BLUE” and there being three “RED” cards.

Because this was the Rockstar game from the last generation that everyone wanted ported to next gen.

Side stepping the debate of whether or not a game like this should be available on Steam, another question is how exactly this game got up there in the first place? If Steam has a clear cut policy in place stating that certain content is not allowed, wouldn’t you think Steam should be doing a quality control check…

Meanwhile, Nintendo is baffled as to why everyone is so pissed off.

Glad to see they’ve diverted their resources away from Half Life 3, Left 4 Dead 3, Team Fortress 3, or any of the other games people have wanted them to make so that they can make Hearthstone 2.

Hey internet! Check out this cool thing that somehow managed to avoid Nintendo’s notice up until this announcement!
