I hate sports. I don’t watch them, I don’t practice them, I never play any games related to sports, it’s among the genres I don’t watch in anime, movies and whatnot, I never got into the whole fever of gathering friends to make championship matches and whatnot. No offense, just taste.

SNES mini sounds fabulous. But I imagine it would be even pricier than the NES mini and likely have less games to offer. And at some point, I have to draw the line at how many times I’m going to pay for Final Fantasy IV.

I actually misinterpreted your comment. For that, I am truly sorry. I thought you were making fun of the Switch because it has a Monopoly game. Again, apologies.

You’re acting like you’ve never played Monopoly. Every game ends in a table flip. Would end up with whatever system/controller/board thrown out the window.

It is for many academics.

Okay, cool. Let’s say some of the best work is done when people put their heads to the grind and collaborate to reach the end.

I’ve been in the games industry for many years.

You don’t understand piracy or how corporations work it seems. Only certain people in a corporation get a cut of the profits, so only a few developers would get any money from this (though this is Nintendo so they likely don’t give higher up devs any profits), and all the other devs get paid with their regular…

Everyone born in the 80's moms and dads:

Oh, I find it hilarious.

I guess people don’t get that you can’t criticize something for what it is today, and still be open for it to evolve into something else.

Please nobody buy a $300 console just for the opportunity to spend more money on a localized SNES game that’s hardware specific. If you’ve got that cash to spare, find a way to contribute it to the fan translation efforts that happen decades faster and are backed by none of the anti-consumer practice that Nintendo…

To be clear, I rather like the blood moon mechanic. I think it effectively addresses the problems you mention, and no question adds more to the game than it removes. I just ALSO think it maybe doesn’t synergize super well with the weapon durability system as implemented.

Eh, at least this is a subjective issue, some people like it and some don’t. Performance issues on the other hand are plentiful and objective, everybody agrees the game has them and then proceeds to ignore them in their review score.

The three mechanics I hate the most in gaming:

The fact this game was getting near perfect scores despite how fucking stupid this central mechanic is really does show the nostalgia factor when it comes to reviews.

Right now, Nintendo is basicly the old guy trying to be hip with the kids. But not really getting why it is that the kids like the things they do...

I’m with you there. The Switch is tempting, but to buy one now would be to forgive ten years of bad business practices

But we don’t have to guess who Sony is going after. They want people who buy games like Grand theft Auto and The Last of us. That’s why they made the system they did. That’s why they have thier studios make the games they do.

Sony believes in core gamers. What that means is that they believe it is in thier best interest to go after that market long term and make the kinds of games they want. I don’t have to wonder who Sony thinks it’s audiance is. They know it. We know it. We can trust they will focus on games like uncharted and such…
