But can you blame nintendo for not wanting to provide online support to a game from 2001? A game that had 4 other versions come out since then with some form of online support. 

The only real solution to scalpers would be people willing to wait a few months for production to ramp up enough to meet demand. And yet, we are in the timeline where a whole lot of people are willing to pay 3x the price of a consumer electronic just to get their hands on it ASAP.

I dig it. All for it.

actually, there is an incentive. repeat business. a legitimate customer who got a console will return to said business again in the future for other purchases. a scalper deprives the business of this business relation. they sold a product but they lost a chance at creating a business relation with a customer. so, yes.…

To be fair, the Etikon takedown was a general C&D against Cptn_Alex, who was using Nintendo trademarks, had “Nintendo Ambassador” in his Twitter handle even though Nintendo rejected him from the program, and was even making and planning to sell pins featuring Nintendo’s Mario 35th artwork. They didn’t go after the…

I mean, not everyone has a talent for humor, Anderson literally never has. While I never have been particularly fond of his movies in general, even people that are definitely don’t watch them for their transcendent humor. I certainly wouldn’t insist any other writer should stop writing just because they aren’t funny;…

I think it's less that he's racist, and more that he's tragically unfunny and incapable of writing anything even remotely resembling humor.

DA2 is definitely better than it’s reputation makes out to be. It was rightly panned for being rushed but if you can find a way to get over the rushed elements like the repeated dungeons, the story, like you say, is pretty good. It’s genuinely refreshing to have a game like this revolve around a city rather than world…

Yeah, I kind of a spit take when I hit on that part of the list.

I don’t know. Hitting enemies that seem to just be damage sponges is not most engaging gameplay. And that is what it felt like late in DA:I.

Agree with you on a lot of this, but... best story of the games?

I’m poor and built a PC that can do that too. Consistently bad financial decisions like that are probably why I’m poor.

When I want to point at the sky, I move my finger upwards.

I usually crank the brightness up a step or two above the recommended setting. I hate when I can’t see shit in the darkness.

Part of the problem for me is it’s contextually blind. Sure I can “barely” see your logo but during the game I’m not looking on a translucent logo on a black wall. I’m looking at a level and with lights and objects in motion. It would be much more helpful if it played a video of some gameplay or AT LEAST a still image…

If they had focused almost entirely on that and pitched the multiplayer as some robust extra feature they probably would have fared a hell of a lot better.

Not to mention that the game was released too late. It should’ve released last year to capitalize on the hype for Avengers: Endgame.

Or like comparing a loud fan and some beeping to the single most catastrophic hardware flaw in the medium’s history.

Horrendous? Nahh. One of the first things that drew me in was the colorful and poppy look the game has. A majority of the Bugsnax and the Grumpuses have a pug quality to me—they’re ugly cute!
