Very much this. I make the games look easy compared to most, but I try to explain to them that it has more to do with what skills I built up over my lifetime of gaming, what games I chose to invest my time in, than any innate talent or superiority. I cut my teeth on NES Battletoads. I 1CC’d Contra without the Konami…

One of the reasons that Gen V Part 1 remains my favorite games to this day was how it was willing to go places with its world and narrative that it hadn’t gone before or, arguably, since.

Fortunately or unfortunately depending on your particular viewpoint, it seems like the vast majority can easily ignore those things. Higher prices for the games was a long time coming, too, considering how high the workload got over seven straight generations of a multiplying roster.

How did he pass Navy medical examinations if he could dislocate so easily as to be prone to it? Don’t you need to pass those to enlist? Honest question, I don't actually know.

And yet you make those claims while saying you didn’t do any research in the same breath as proclaiming that you did investigative journalism on another gaming site for Lost Ark specifically. Yeah no, credibility is at all time low, have a nice day.

Trust me when I say that if you search for “best rpgs 2022", most lists presented will contain Chained Echoes. I don't think they need the help.

I was almost entertaining your argument until the Diablo mobile shilling. Then I realized you were either a Blizzard fanboy or employee, and proceeded to stop reading.

Was likely a physical case with a download code. Nintendo started doing that for some titles in the 3DS era, particularly for indie games and "indie" games like Minecraft.

To be fair, not all invaders are like that, but the majority of them are and that’s why certain mods exist and are so popular.

It is certainly an different experience, but experiments by players have shown that the majority of invaders are low-level twinks who hang out in lower level areas like Limgrave and early Liurnia and deliberately set themselves up to invade players who have few options available to counter them. These are the same…

Copyright needs to exist in some form, but I’d argue that copyright only lasts for five years unless you provide proof that you’re actively developing new iterations of that copyright. You shouldn’t get to squat on it for however many years you’re willing to pay for.

“We hear you Loud and Clear, we just Don’t Care as Long as We Make Money.”

Waiting for the chorus of invaders who will make up some excuse about PvP STILL being ruined forever because they aren’t able to invade low level newbies, even though these colosseums should give them exactly what they say they want.

I would argue that if you never noticed the chunk going off when you faint in single player raids, that's you not paying attention.

I’ve had exactly one crash, and that was while testing a theory about the memory leak being connected to transitioning between the open world and closed areas like Mesagoza. Turns out that yes, going back and forth between Mesagoza and the open world specifically made the performance drop extremely quickly and…

I mean, the most vocal and reactionary viewers tend to be the negative nancies. That’s why Kotaku is putting out negative articles about the game so much despite the haters being a vast, VAST minority; it gets them to engage and gets lots of clicks, lots of views, lots of chances for ad revenue. It’s scummy, but it’s…

Publicly available data says otherwise, but feel free to conspiracy anyway. Makes no difference, so try all you like. XD

Nope, only a 30% stake, and Nintendo is historically hands-off when it comes to developing the games. Try again.

Got numbers for that? Because otherwise that claim is piss in the wind.

Why are you even posting that here?
