If you’re really starved for this kind of thing, pick thee up the first 30 or so issues of Nintendo Power and every single issue of Incite Gaming.

Yes. Also consider any Kirby game with co-op, which are similar in that only one player (in Kirby’s case, the person playing Kirby) has to actually be playing with anything resembling skill to make rapid progress.

I loved K&B but more broadly, I can’t recommend Kirby co-op enough for introducing the joy of teamwork in…

Objectively speaking, I’d describe the overall challenge as 2/10. You basically can’t die, and it’s very much a co-op game where only one person needs to rise to its (in this case, minimal) challenge since you can easily just resurrect your partner no matter how much they suck.

I want to also make clear I don’t mean…

This is a rhetorical question, but are any of the things you mentioned actually anything that a statistically notable number of Japanese people have expressed concerns about? It reads as Things That Stick in My Craw + Nouns That I Have Decided Are Automatically Bad, projected onto a country you likely have an…

I. AM TAROK.

What’s Bosa?

Because that’s the ruleset.

If taking 20 minutes out of your life to watch an internet video really seems that daunting to you but you apparently have the time to write a post asking for someone else to regurgitate information from said video for you, I wish you the best in finding ways to improve your time management…

Maybe your simultaneously cliché & baffling assessment of how “so many people” (specifically who?) think is part of your problem? Just a thought.

The numbers would suggest very few people think this marketing claptrap, which is made to appease the people who bankroll their marketing claptrap, is worthwhile. That’s kind…

It’s been my more recent impression that Capcom also targeted Data East out of spite- I’m under the impression both companies (DE in particular, being much smaller & having stronger historical yakuza ties) were making bank on black market arcade exports to mostly China & Brazil (done through, from what I understand,…

~things like this erode a percentage of your desired audience while attracting less desirable audiences and thus are net toxifying~

I played through MP1&2 both within the last 3 months & I’m still overjoyed you’re doing this. MP2 in particular really wowed me, much more so than when I played it contemporarily.

Since no one is likely to bring it up: Total Overdose does the Max Payne Bullet Time system better than any other game that copied the…

You’re confusing pink with magenta.

What, specifically, is wrong about that answer?

Your expectations are not anyone else’s, and if your expectations are clownish, you’re going to be treated like a clown.

You truly have the patience of a saint.

and every review i disagree with is literally a Rate Crime.

“In my experience the max charge burns down over time.”

Shouldn’t be a personal discovery, it’s borderline universally known information.

The DPRK Defender has logged on.

This isn’t actually criticism but I’m shocked Stressed Eric didn’t make the list.

In the three decades I’ve been alive, I’ve heard far more “people complain about everything these days” complaints IRL than actual unreasonable complaints. And that includes a decade of working high-service retail!

It’s pretty much accepted generally that “athletics” doesn’t just mean “moving arms and legs athletically” or a similarly narrowly muscular-focused definition. Even ignoring the intense physicality of many top-tier esports competitors (and don’t even pretend those Starcraft macroheads aren’t working just as physically …
