Congratulations. I don’t care.

It’s like a playable Studio Ghibli film. So excited!

The remasters are not what anyone asked for. Just watch the conference, people are freaking the fuck out and the cheering immediately starts to stop once they’re announced.

So, they’re just flat out pretending reality show judges have to be talented these days? I can’t imagine they actually have to be when Iggy most commonly rhymes her name with her name.

Ugh. Ew. I’d rather go back to RE6 than play that boring looking thing.

Did this really need a slot in a conference?

The more I see of FFXV the less I’m interested.

Which is neither here nor there and entirely not the point.

I was a realist, I expected minor changes. However the fan base did not. BioWare’s fans are idiots, especially their hardcore fans. Leading up to ME2 and 3 they would take the smallest statement in the most infinitesimally meaningless interview and blow it up to grandiose proportions. With that in mind BioWare failed…

Actually EA was behind the lead writer leaving. Drew Karpyshyn was transferred from BioWare Edmonton to BioWare Austin to provide lead writing for the then in development Star Wars: The Old Republic. He had to agree to it, of course, but EA did give him a lucrative enough offer to move. However you’re making two large…

Inquisition was made by the Dragon Age team, not the original Mass Effect team or BioWare Montreal, so that is not a valid defense.

Yes, “broke” the fan base. As in “the fanbase used to be this big, now it’s smaller because of a divisive entry in the series”. ME’s fan base is undeniably smaller and a lot of the original core fans are gone, however that’s not to say they’re all gone.

ME2 is considered the best in the series for three primary reasons. First, it was the game that got the gameplay right. Yes, ME3 improved upon the gameplay, but ME2 really nailed the gameplay down after the floaty, clumsy, sometimes uncomfortably borked mess that ME1 devolved into on occasion. Second, ME2 does a…

Who brought up the endings? I didn’t.

Good luck with that. EAWare broke their base with Mass Effect 3 and a huge part of the wonder died along with it even for the fans who remained. The biggest part of the wonder of that first game was “How are my choices going to impact the story going forward?”, the second game, while the best in the series, taught us…

Hopefully kotaku makes itit, but I doubt anyone will want a tarnished brand like Gawker.

Scams are not dishonest by nature, they just tend to be because you have to trick people. This isn’t tricking someone, it’s preying upon the impulsive, impatient nature of people. It’s not up for debate.

No, it’s a scam. It’s not up for debate. You get one box per level and you get a piddling amount of in game currency. You get so few that the temptation to get the stuff you want by buying it is always there. Most will resist, many will not, it’s a scam and there’s no arguing it. Especially considering you already…

Of course the look boxes suck, they’re a system designed to encourage microtransactions. Blizzard would like nothing more than you spend $40 to open a bunch of them. The fact that you can pull duplicates and the rarity of the legendary items should make that abundantly clear. It’s a scam used to prey upon people who…

Great. Now will they fix the awful story, horrible characters, broken battle system and terrible graphics? A remaster is all well and good, but XII is the worst in the series by a wide margin.
