So basically it's a shitty Chipotle?

"Taco Bell gives me diarrhea" is pretty much just a way for white people to say "Tex-Mex food gives me diarrhea" without sounding racist.

There's no way that even half the budget was obtained through crowdfunding. Ys Net hasn't disclosed what the rest of the budget is or where it's coming from.

No, because those usually have outside publishing deals. When has any other company ever shilled for a Kickstarter at an E3 presser?

If Sony was willing to give the game a berth on their E3 stage, then they should have been willing to fund its development in full.

I assure you that I'd be equally appalled if the headline read "Roberta Kelly accused of keeping young men trapped in abusive sex cult."

Shenmue 3 ruined crowdfunding.

What exactly is the market for this thing? Is nostalgia for that particular era of gaming so strong? And how is the "current gaming content" a selling point when people have laptops, tablets, and cell phones?

This is a corporation owned by multimillionaires. Why don't they put some of their own God damn money on the line?

I really wanted this to be good, because the cast is great. It's a shame that it falls short (at least based on this review and the comments you guys have made).

It'll be sad day when MOTAS finally leaves the Internet. I spent hours with that one as a kid.

Honestly, I see Drake's murder sprees more as genre convention than as important narrative element.

Tasmania, I believe.

On the docket for this weekend: Finally playing the Trespasser DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition. I kept putting it off because new games kept coming out, but there's no better time than the summer doldrums to wade through the backlog. I've waited for three years to find out what Solas' deal is and I really can't wait…

It can be two things!

Well, this is actually about pop culture. The political articles are not.

If I recall correctly, the default control scheme for Perfect Dark was that the analog stick controlled forward and backward movement, as well as turning, while the C buttons controlled strafing and up/down aiming. It was an inelegant solution, but it largely worked for a game where verticality wasn't a crucial…
