Mushrooms, grilled onions, butter, and American cheese? The only things Kevin didn’t pick for the ultimate burger were bacon jam the fried egg. Kevin takes it nearly a clean sweep.

There’s a reason Passive Cliff Racers was one of if not the most popular Morrowind mod back in the day. 

They’ll never do it, but my dream setting for an Elder Scrolls game would be Pyandonea with a side of Thras.

Phoenix Wright was the first game I played on the DS when I got it, and it’s still one of my favorite franchises. I replayed the first four games when they got released on 3DS and if they port the later games (Investigations included, hopefully), I might have to buy them again. 

According to everything I’ve read about it, the lack of a Cataclysm/Emergence remaster isn’t to do with whether someone likes the story or not, it’s because the source code for it was lost and it would be too expensive to rebuild it from scratch. An Escapist article mentioned that Gearbox would be willing to tackle it…

We already have one. Now that the Fox acquisition is done, we just need Feige to admit that while he was slumming around Tibet learning magic, Dr. Doom was calling himself Caecilius.

‘Elves’ could actually make sense as a tiny surviving remnant of FirstCiv - the ones Abstergo was cloning in Syndicate certainly didn’t look human, even if Minerva more-or-less does.

I remember seeing ads when I was a kid for some Sega Genesis platformer that you played by using a stationary bike or something. Never saw the actual game, though.

Yes. Showcasing yet another reason for developers to avoid Steam is a great way to punish developers for delaying (DELAYING!) their game’s Steam release is a totally great and productive idea.

I would absolutely no joking go to an Alien themed version of the new Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge place. 

I’m not 100% sure the developers of EverQuest have even seen a beetle, large, fire, or otherwise. 

The last CE I bought was Breath of the Wild - It’s also one of the few I actually felt was worth it more than five minutes after opening it. Cool Switch carrying case that I actually use anytime I take my Switch somewhere, good soundtrack CD that I really need to get into iTunes one of these days, cloth world map that…

Does Gearbox not own Cataclysm? I assumed they did, since they bought the entire IP.

If they want to broaden their audience, yes they are. Movies do this all the time, either to meet broadcast standards, for showing on airliners (I’m not sure if this is still a thing, honestly), or, in the other direction, unrated versions for private sale. Heck, with Once Upon a Deadpool, they reedited an R-rated…

That’s absurd. Adding in separate difficulties doesn’t affect your playing experience if you choose not to use them. 

As an aside, it never ceases to amaze how bad Kinja is. I can’t log into my Kinja account on my phone’s browser because I linked it to my Google account and that just doesn’t work on mobile and when I use my desktop computer in Firefox, the cursor keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field while I’m typing.

I’ll be honest. All these responses to the effect of ‘maybe this kind of game isn’t for you and anyway there are plenty of other games’ sounds like someone complaining that we don’t need Braille books because maybe blind people should just accept that books aren’t for them.

Fair, but I think a more accurate comparison wouldn’t be to FF XIV, but to Diablo 3. XIV needed to be rebuilt from the ground up, D3 and (from what I’ve heard) Anthem have solid foundations, but need rethinks in their gameplay loops and content.

It’s worth noting, however, that the original FFXIV is a byword for a studio being so caught up in its own mystique that it never even looks at the competition.

I’ll admit, I’m not plugged into the competitive Smash community, but if there’s really this much outcry about Nintendo running a tourney without adopting community rules, it kind of puts the lie to your claim that they don’t care.
