I don’t really think so. I think keeping them around is enough to imply some type of worth or legitimacy that I really think is there.

No, because I’d rather Metacritic (and by extension all review scores) not exist at all.

As I get older, the more appreciative I am of a game that doesn’t waste my time in the interest of chasing some “x hours of playtime!” line on the back of the box.

For sure. Decisions happen within a spectrum of conditions that make certain data useful for certain people. I get that.

But broadly, I think gamers put an undue worth in statistics to the point that it actively affects our ability to really talk about games.

I saw this pop up on Resetera and found it similarly groan-worthy.

The Vita was good, though.

Seems like only a matter of time before this comes to Switch. I’d kill for this on the go.

What if I told you, Neo, that No Man’s Sky was a good game from launch?

I have several friends who have struggled with this question over the last five years. My thing is this: no parents were curating their kids’ Star Wars experience back when the originals came out, other than deciding whether or not to take them to the theatre or rent them the movie. None of us grew up being told to…

As I pointed out in the piece, that’s already happening. The only reason that big game companies haven’t outsourced EVERY aspect of game development is because the talent isn’t there.

Generalizing Asians even more racist than you realized. ASIANS are not monolith people, they are diverse bunch. They are not only consist of pale and yellow skin, slant eyes variety (East Asia). But there are also darker shade of skin color and big eyes of South East and South Asia. Not to mention Arabian and Persian…

Apparently they’re just misleading everyone - you have to sign in to view the coverage so you have to have cable >:(

Are they? I just went to their site bc I’d heard that, too, and I saw a banner that says they’ll be available online tomorrow! Gah!

Nerd.

A. Jack Thompson’s back? Fuck.

But why? The original controller was terrible and had really awkward button placement, why would reviving this trainwreck be desirable?

Is anything from the DA universe going to be announced before we see more stuff from them about Anthem?

I just feel like... this isn’t that good.
