They have no one to blame but themselves. They fucked up Avengers, and people took one look at Guardians and said “no thanks” (myself included).

Not trying to offend you or anything Sisi, but I really get the impression that your sole job here is to advocate for gacha games, to try to paint them in a more positive light to core gamers. If so...I fear it’s a fools effort, for there is basically no other crowd that abhors gacha as much and as passionately.

I’m on the fence about this article: I agree with the defense of “casual” players, but the defense of gacha games misses the point. We probably all know people who have a healthy relationship to those games, who enjoy building characters and use the micro-transactions as an occasional treat for themselves. But the…

I’d like to know why the hell you all arent calling them out on their still broken for many game.  I havent been able to play because of deathloops and coop doesnt work at all.  It seems to affect console versions only.  Its really freaking ridiculous.

But for too long, the media discussion of mobile gaming has ignored the human component: the actual players. ... Their games aren’t inherently inferior, and they’re consciously choosing to play games that fit into their busy lives. It’s time that PC and console players learn to respect that.

Concern...

I didn’t realize there were 4th & 5th “classic era” Darkstalkers games, so I’m really looking forward to this, too.

Be serious for once, it is not “the gamers” who promote that idea of “old skool gamers gatekeeping” it is the games press who loves to spin that idea.

Meh, who cares? This is the REAL cool announcement:

Sir, this is an Applebees.

SFV was PS4 exclusive. Makes perfect sense to talk about the possibility of the sixquel being exclusive.

easy loot? when you’re a game journo, maybe

This is not meant to rub salt in the wound for anyone who has bought comics through comixology

“the level design was linear as hell.”
