Jake Paul is a clown, but I’ve read that he’s actually a halfway decent fighter. And Mike Tyson is nearing 60 years old — there’s a reason you don’t see athletes that old competing in anything except golf. And boxing is a particularly intensive sport that is very unkind to the aging.

This is the way. An Octopath makeover (and perhaps a few QOL tweaks) are all these old classics need. 

Over the next few decades, there were only a few new Punch-Out titles. 1998 had Super Punch-Out!! for the Super Nintendo and 2009 had the confusingly titled Punch-Out!! for the Wii.

The Bugs are an all-consuming horde that want to overrun the galaxy will suck your brains out through your skull

Absolutely not, he intended it to be, as you said, a straight up action movie using the novel as a very rough base.

Pretty sure that person is being sarcastic 

If I’m reading a review about Helldivers II, I don’t want to read about the technical problems of Kotaku’s website. 

Cool!

To use some of that generational slang: it’s very cringe.

Pretty sure they understand that just fine, and that “eventually” is very different from “next quarter,” which is all the MBA class generally worries about. 

To give you as simple an answer as possible, yes. The PS exclusives are mostly excellent games that are well worth playing and then playing again. And the PS5 is a fantastic machine, as are its controllers (despite their less-than-stellar battery life).

My only conclusion to all this is that Kojima has somehow brainwashed people into believing he’s some brilliant auteur when really he’s a very mediocre man with extremely mediocre ideas trying his damndest to make movies and being forced to make video games instead.

My only complaint is that I wish there was more of it. It’s not too short by any means, I just really enjoyed the whole thing and wish it was bigger.

Some games have quite neutral delivery (e.g. the Mass Effect series). Some act like they’re a Saturday Morning Cartoon. I’ve never liked cartoons because of the unnatural voice acting, so I’d rather not have that in my games either.

Who has possibly already beaten this game? It hasn’t even been out for 48 hours. 

I think the chaos is largely the point. I don’t think most people enter the four-player modes looking for a super-tight performance.

It’s thinly veiled code for “everybody is white, Christian and conservative, just like me.”

Fans are frustrated with the way Yona’s appearance works to reinforce heteronormativity in Hyrule

If there’s salt spray on the inside of a submarine, you have much bigger problems than the controller potentially crapping out. 

I’m the same way, but apparently the youths love just sitting and watching a stranger play video games and reacting to other stranger’s reactions. I don’t get it but I’ve accepted than I’m now an old and am no longer with it.
