You know what would be fun? Another Mario game in the mold of long-lost Mario 2. Yes, it was just a skin of another game, but it’s far better known as Mario 2 and would be fun to toss some turnips at Snifits and Ninjis again in the modern era. #JusticeForWart

Also I think the market can only support so many forever games

Its the MMO thing all over again. Everyone was trying to get inon that sub money WoW had - and no one could really do it. Everyone one of them spent a ton of money and fizzled. It took how many years and a massive reboot before FFXIV came along?? That is a lot of studio time and money dumped in the trash heap.

We’ve reached a point in the games industry where trends are moving faster than development cycles, and the results are calamitous.

I’m... gonna be that girl and point out that I *really* hope this movie isn’t suggesting that taking cover under an overpass is a good idea in a tornado.

lol.  there it is.

Now this is a good quality article. I love Yakuza, and I'd never even heard of this game. I'm still holding out for remakes of 3 and 4.

I disagree here. I kind of like alot of the longer cutescenes in Yakuza so disagree with them  being boring or to long. I am not sure I agree with the pacing either. Having finished all from 0-7. 5 Having one of my favourite openings.

I love Kasuga, if he was real I would want to have a beer with him, that could never be achieved through a series of dismissible text boxes.

That’s fair. My cat poops in the bathtub and it’s really annoying. 

What are you fucking talking about? Do you suppose there are tons of eager single ladies and POC in the comments desperately searching for an ally to fuck and/or fawn over? Like sure, the preamble is unnecessary but fuck this questioning of earnestness. It’s just cheap dismissal.

He got to the point, you just chose to ignore it and focus on something else and blow it out of proportion. Makes you a part of the problem too, since you prefer to attack people who support the good cause. This is why it’s not going to get better.

This site regularly criticizes C-suite executives of gaming companies, and this article is explicitly about female journalists and developers. That’s the text of this article. Representation in this context refers to the gaming news desks that cover games and the development teams whose labor produces the games we all…

Though the GamerGate trolls have lessened in number since 2014 (or perhaps many of them have slunk back to their dank caves to hit their Juuls, wank, and blow the embedded food crumbs out from the crannies of their keyboards),

Perfectly normal reaction to this story, the therapy really seems to be working for you.

the flowers are cool and they are my friends. i will never silence them.
