We’re still playing the same iterations of Super Mario Bros. and other longstanding franchises too.

I remember being a regular on GameFAQs back in the day and distinctly recall Halo 2 and GTA San Andreas’s impending release being unlike anything I’d ever seen up to that point. The hype was un-fucking-real. I think they even leaked early somehow and people were already playing them prior to release and everyone was…

lmao dude I literally don’t even use Twitch, I just browse Kotaku and find reasons to reference Chappelle’s Show. lighten up, I don’t watch any streamers

Wow. Thank you! All this new information confuses and frightens me. *replays the episode where Sabrina traps Ash in a toy city for the hundredth time*

Nice.

As someone who hasn’t watched the Pokemon anime since halfway through the Johto arc, what is Ash doing back in Vermilion instead of one of the newer regions I would assume he’d be exploring?

Dude who gives a fuck? You got a pink chair. Whoopie shit. Enjoy what you want. If you’re embarrassed at what other people think about what you have, don’t buy the stuff in the first place.

Hahaha. Wow, that’s a lot of assumptions you’ve made there. Maybe I just like listening to people talk about shit. Not everybody who listens to podcasts automatically believes everything that gets said on them. I like listening to what people have to say about things and I make my own informed decisions. But, you’re a…

I love Nintendo more than any other gaming company but the selection for the NSO games fucking blows. There are some awesome games in there, and then there’s a bunch of filler. And I grew up with the SNES and played most of those games as a kid.

Yes, I’m an idiot because I enjoy longform discussion. You seem like a well-adjusted individual who knows how to have a civil conversation with people you disagree with.

Farore’s Wind allows you to zip out of dungeons in Ocarina and nobody batted an eye at that.

I love long podcasts and love Rogan’s show because it gives literally hours for guests to talk about anything under the sun, or their profession.

I do not think it’s possible for me to care less about GTA 5 at this point, especially since RockStar said ‘fuck you’ to people who don’t care about Online. Enough already, can we please get GTA 6? I doubt they’ve even been working on it, maybe bare bones basic research for locations and plotting out the in-game map,…

That’s a paddlin’.

Waluigi was a mistake.

I can’t stop hearing the warp pipe sound effects while reading this article.

Where did I ever say anything that implied I disagree with any of this, or that I argued the contrary? I literally said in short form what you’re saying, my dude/woman/however you identify as. I already differentiated fan opinions from commercial success and what works for the profit margins. You act like I don’t…

Yes, if we are talking business. It is not literally all that matters if we are talking about the game itself and how fans of the franchise received it, particularly when some of the complaints about the game are also applicable to the two most recent big games (15 and 7R).

It is literally all that matters *only* if…

I never said that there didn’t an exist a portion of the FF fanbase which enjoyed XIII (and its sequel). The absence of that statement doesn’t mean I argued anything against it. I remember when 13 released, and I’ve been in and out of the FF fandom since then, and the majority opinion of 13 seems to be one of…

FF13 may have been commercially successful, but fan reception is something else entirely. The game has some absolutely massive flaws and departures from what most people want in a Final Fantasy game (and, personally, represents much of what I can’t stand about the franchise over the last decade or so).
