This is a really surprising take considering they actually turned the cheese down if anything. Some of the most important lines are kept, like Bingo, but for the most part the camp is diluted thanks in part to Saddler and Salazar not calling in with Leon to chat. I also don’t get the hair/face complaints either lol.

Did you really stop playing a game because of a single bad joke?

Omg, that’s freakin charming, and I absolutely adore the strike cat, but that narrator(?) made me feel like I was having a stroke at first. Turned on the CC to find “There’s aqua. Wait Oh. Meshwa,” and was a little relieved.

Regardless of the controversy, Hogwarts was a pretty mediocre game and it sold because of the IP it was attached to. To imply that it was “snubbed” for awards is to forget that awards are for the actual game delivered, not for the marketing campaign or sales quantity.

It wasn’t misunderstood and there wasn’t any hidden…

When people say “indie,” they typically mean “low budget” rather than “self-published.” Most of the games listed in the indie categories are not actually indie.

It was snubbed about as much as Robocop: Rogue City was snubbed.

What are you talking about? I wish people like you would stop being ridiculous and just use the words you want to use, “good” and “bad.” The new games are 3D. There’s literally no argument you can make that they’re not 3D or that they don’t “look 3D.” Just say you think they look bad and you want good looking games.

Armored Core 6 got snubbed. At the very least it should of also been nominated for music. Probably wouldn’t win (jesus christ Alan Wake 2), but it should of been nominated.

It’s a marketing vehicle with pay to play nominations in any category not explicitly designed for indie games. So no.

sooooooo then Spiderman 2 shouldn’t be on the list either by that logic.

“Once you get bored of the sandbox stuff” - legitimately haven’t and still find things to fuck around with after all this time and have trouble putting it down once I start playing - Spiderman 2 hasn’t done the same for me

To quote the guy from the other thread: “Starfield wasn’t snubbed. It simply wasn’t deserving.”

You misread.

So it’s the same god awful remote streaming they’ve always had? Got it.

What I’m still unclear about is whether the Portal provides any tech that provides lower latency vs Remote Play to an iPad or other mobile device. If there’s a meaningful improvement here, I’d consider grabbing one. If not, then it’s not for me.

No. Wii U was an actual second screen; this is more of an alternate screen. Can’t do things on both the TV and Portal screen at the same time, just one or the other.

“Using Portal also won’t “free up” the console so one person can play on TV while the other plays on handheld.”

Ooooor use your phone, save your money.

While I agree he would do well in the role, I have never heard the Gerudo described as Mesoamerican. They’re more of a pastiche of various Middle Eastern/Muslim cultures, with the Spanish influences in their music coming from the Moors.

Matt Berry should get to play anyone he damn well pleases.

.... sure you didn’t mean to link Weird Al’s “the night santa went crazy”?
