This is the most insane thing I’ve ever read and the comments are even more insane. Reads like your best friend stabbed you in the back, stole your SO, and took the kids. I was most offended by the part where you said you thought you could trust Danny because he had a gay friend. That makes no sense. Lots of people…

Hell, I remember game mags were flooded with letters from gamers worried about single-player games back in 2002-03 when online play became reality on PS2/XB. Needless to say, single player games are still here and fine; BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Persona 5, Horizon, Wolfenstein...

The day single player games die, is the day I have to find a new hobby. Either that or I do nothing but play older games. Good thing I have a backlog fifty miles deep.

Single-player games won’t die. Both Japanese and indie developers still make an overwhelming majority of single-player games.

Long live the Switch and long live Nintendo. Honestly, as a guy who plays a LOT of persistent online games, I would DETEST a world where no single player games exist or it became a niche concept.

“As a company we love single-player more than anything, and believe in it absolutely - for storytelling and a sense of immersion in a world, multiplayer games don’t rival single-player games.” - Rockstar Games director of design Imran Sarwar insists the success of Grand Theft Auto Online and lack of narrative-driven G…

Team Yiga is blasting off again!

It’s inexplicable, and I’ve never in my life met anyone that preferred the Smackdown games to the many alternatives. The only real debate is how far down your list they are - I mean, the Acclaim games or that Nitro/Thunder nonsense was probably worse - but no one loved the series, so I don’t know where the decision to…

The difference between loot boxes and CCGs is that you typically didn’t pay a $60 entry fee (or any entry fee at all) to gain the privilege to buy packs of cards. Oh, and buying cards is understood up-front as a requirement of the CCG format, whereas loot box systems often get dropped into games in ways that aren’t…

that one time in a year when you have friends at home willing to play the worst Soccer game on snes

Shut the fuck up you shill/hack; their excuse is bullshit and FAMILIES with children didn’t buy this system and if they did they can go fuck themselves and play games on a newer system meant for cooperative play in the 21st century. Jesus Christ you’re a fucking shill.

“Oh yeah I totally prefer Super Soccer to Mother 2" Said no one, ever

LOL at the astroturfing going on here. So many people C&P the same nonsense message.

Riley, whats up with the Kinja spam filter? As of me writing this, there are currently 5 different users writing the same thing in the comments.

also like there are terrible people in every company and most companies are part of larger companies who do terrible things. there’s no way to avoid it.
