Have you seen the Rock, Paper, Scissors World Championship?

About as proud as anyone is to win in a EVO competition, or at LoL, CSGo, DotA, HotS, Overwatch...

She turns into a snowman...er, snowmei when she shields! HOW IS THAT NOT LEGENDARY?!

Except Gamers and critics don’t get to have it both ways.

Will 2017 be the Year Of 3D Platformers?

It’s okay, you’re in good company.

Because Super Mario Maker magically came out in 2014 and everyone forgot about it until 2015?

Two quotes on VR. One that says ‘we should placate the hardcore’ even though they’re the only ones willing to spend such a stupid amount of money on such a niche novelty. The other lifts the veil on how even developers of ‘the next logical evolution in all of gaming - NAY - all of existence’ isn’t feeling it.

Danggit, like all this waiting wasn’t bad enough - now I know it’s a functioning thing out in the world, not just prop kits with games superimposed into trailers.

I played Luigi’s Mansion pretty obsessively. Wanting to find all the things and the path to doing it being so fun, multiple playthroughs were a given.

And I’ll be by your side til the end.

I buy a lot of games on release, at least the ones I already know I’d want, and this? I dunno how to feel. Maybe I go back to the old way of buying games (wait for the inevitable GotY version).

Japan sales overall have been around this for the past few years though. As the article says, Pokemon only snagged 200k and it’s not even a month old. The thing is, mobile gaming is the major hotness there, now.

If he wants to spend a couple of minutes sniffing a tower, who am I to deny him?

I was all thrilled about getting this as a Valentine’s Day gift (um...from me to me...)

Man, you’re back?

That’s way more understandable, to be sure. However I wonder if all this underdog rooting and massive prehype will go the same way as No Mans Sky. That this strong desire to see him ‘win’ or whatever will create an inability to be critical or, barring that, a really scary backlash if he ‘fails’ them.

Honestly, I bought a PS3 immediately after the Persona 5 announcement...but before they confirmed it on PS4. Whoops!

I am perfectly willing to be critical of Kojima, and if you spent half as much effort writing your exhaustive criticism of other people’s distaste for Konami as you do apparently paying any attention, you’d know damn well that most folks do. Kojima has always been criticized for his arguably incoherent storytelling,…
