The biggest over-hype for me regarding the “They said it was impossible and, for nearly two decades, that seemed to be the case.” is that...
#1, it then states that the actual challenge was only posted a year ago so for all we know, Halo savants have done it before and the fanfare only went as far as their gamer friend…

They have gone after already dominant IPs when it was feasible for them, they just can’t afford to do it as often or in as large a scale as Microsoft, so they have to be more strategic.

Either you believe that it is not ok to take established 3p IPs and make them exclusive, in which case the only difference between Microsoft and Sony is that one has way more money than the other, or you’re ok with it, and again the only difference is that one company can afford to do it at a larger scale than the…

I think it’s a great idea. More games should do this instead of outright censorship.

Now even Americans can play the game! /s

If you turn this mode on, you are no true Bayonetta fan, and all I Can say is GOOD DAY TO YOU SIR

What a sensible idea that will surely please everyone.

“it’s the quintessential 'hide your boner' mode”

Apparently not,

i’m surprised but not upset. much like anything suda 51 does, the humor was not for everyone, but people who actually listened to the characters likely found some entertaining but properly askew for a suda game characters(heck, the younger sister was giving a dissertation on the importance of marriage equity 3 years…

FWIW James Gunn has said on twitter that neither he or Suda are involved with this, nor were they even told it was happening until the news came out.
