I got the same collector’s edition and I did what I do with all the collector’s editions I own; put it on a display shelf. The box looks great next to my Ni No Kuni CE box and my Lets Go Pikachu box. Morgan is sitting on a shelf with a Sanryu Chun Li and Ryu. And the art book is next to other art books. My wife uses…

Interesting article to be sure because it makes you think. This is a product of the era we’re in right now where people have these little celebrities that they feel really close to because they can send them comments or donations and talk in the chat and be responded to in real time. You’ve got “titty streamers” who…

It’s never going away. It’s the future in fact. My kids will be watching Disney channel and they actually promote YouTubers on the channel with segments of people like JackSepticeye playing games and doing their whole schtick. The future is with YouTubers and streamers. Get used to that.

If you want to argue semantics then feel free. The point is these games aren’t meant for everybody. And from an artistic standpoint their difficulty is viewed as a part of their identity. IF the developer ever decides that they want to add an easy mode, I won’t be mad. But I don’t think we have any right to sit here…

And just like I can take a picture of the Mona Lisa and throw it up on Facebook, you can record your gameplay of a Souls game and put it up on YouTube. The story elements and everything else is still there, but now you’ve made it easier to share with others.

I’m talking from an artistic standpoint. Games are an interactive artform and the difficulty goes hand in hand with that. If a painting had a lock around it as part of the artist’s intent then it would mean that he only wanted people capable of getting through the lock to experience his painting.

I like this reply.

Games are a unique medium of entertainment, they’re incredibly varied and some are simply not capable of being enjoyed by all persons across all forms of existence. That’s just how it be. There are countless games out there that can be enjoyed by a wider audience than others. I don’t get why we need to start demanding…

I think the beauty of Sekiro is they made it so that Souls veterans would have just as hard a time playing through. I didn’t think I would experience that kind of frustration followed by triumph that I felt the first time I played Bloodborne (my first Soulslike). The thing about Sekiro though is once the game style…

More like a person with legs telling a person without legs that they should not take the stairs.

Not every game needs to be played by every person. Just like how not every painting needs to be enjoyed by every person. You wouldn’t say “these Picasso paintings should be more realistic”. Same respect should be had for FromSoftware games. They don’t need to have an “easy” mode or a journalist mode. Let them be…

What’s scary about a flying warehouse that delivers packages? That sounds pretty cool. Or is it people imagining a flying aircraft carrier that sends out missile armed drones or something?

It just dawned on me that the hate this site seems to have for half black/mixed black famous people is akin to the hate and fear white supremacists have toward blacks. Afraid the blacks will come in and start diluting their pure whiteness. Now I’m seeing people mad at mixed black people for not being black enough.…

Honestly it just sounds like Price has a major chip on her shoulder. Just looking for an excuse to fight. Saying something like “I’m loud about these issues” sounds as if she’s always looking for an excuse to bring up her politics even in times where it wouldn’t really make sense to observers. You can say it’s a…

Are we going to start reading politics into every game play mechanic from this day forward? You shoot an enemy and their body fades into particles so we have to say “the inherent political value in this particle effect is thus.” I don’t get why people have to turn every little thing into a political battlefield.

I honestly think this is the right approach. It allows them to be a neutral space without taking any sides, like the rest of the internet. It’ll potentially be great for adult games and adult game developers (let the porn games begin) but, like most things in life, we have to take the good with the bad. There will be…

This is the kind of attitude that gets innocent people into trouble. They think “I’m innocent, I don’t need a lawyer” or “I’ve got nothing to hide, do as you will, officer.” You might end up being a convenient means to an end. The last person hauled in for some quota or the most convenient suspect who fit a…

You can just as easily let the officer into your house and he feels threatened and shoots you. Or you let him into your home, he decides that he has found evidence of some other crime and you get hauled off. So many things can go wrong when you just roll over and let the police have their way with you. They’re civil…

I remember reading a book in Ruby and Sapphire that talked about eating Pokemon. There was a weird bit about returning the bones to the sea and being thankful and stuff. I’d expect that the director wouldn’t want to say anything definitive but if you ask a lore guy they’d tell you straight up.

In this case one of them is American and the other is Japanese made. That’s far different than just a genre shift. If you’ve never seen a Japanese movie I can totally understand your concern though. It’s like comparing ice cream to cake as dessert options. They might have some similarities like flavor and sweetness,…
