Right off the top of my head? Refusing to allow cross-platform play for the longest time, to the point where they claimed it wasn’t even possible. Also, their increased fondness for censorship. These are big issues that drive away customers, and point to a leadership that’s completely out of touch and coasting on…

Thank you for posting this. Unfortunately, you’re going to get labeled all sorts of nasty stuff and burned at the stake, because people can’t have a conversation about artistic freedom in this context without losing their goddamn minds. 

There are definitely some situations where certain things aren’t appropriate (especially places where children gather), but generally it’s pretty easy to let people craft and enjoy their own identities without judgment. Whether they’re a furry, an otaku, a goth, trans or practically anything else... it really doesn’t…

Where you live and where you work does have some impact, but the majority of Americans are still one freak accident or illness away from financial ruin. Half of us spend every day terrified of that prospect, while the other half throws a tantrum at the thought of their tax dollars going to save the lives of people who…

A couple years ago, I did most of my shopping on Amazon, but I’ve cut it down considerably. I’ve only purchased a few items from them all year, and absolutely none of my Christmas shopping was done on the site. Instead, I shopped locally and even got most of it done before Thanksgiving.

I’m a tiny bit behind on recent releases. Just finished up Spider-Man, and I’m working on Soulcalibur VI now. 

Believe me, I’d rather see talented people take as much time as they need to put together something wonderful, as opposed to churning out yearly sequels. But in the case of XV, it seemed like nobody really had a clear vision for the game throughout it’s early development, with all the scrapping and starting over from…

Yes, considering that whatever comes next is going to take a million years to come out, the sooner they get started on that, the better. Then again, I’m hoping these shake-ups cause them to re-evaluate how they make games. There have to be faster and more efficient ways to do this stuff. 

I respect the fact that most soldiers have very good intentions when they sign up for military service, but at the end of the day, they’re letting themselves be used and manipulated by people with very terrible intentions. I’m not sure they always contemplate that. As long as a politician gives a stirring, patriotic…

That’s a beautiful book right there, and Zelda is the kind of series that seems like it would benefit the most from having a nice, heavy tome in front of you. 

I used to do the same thing with my guides, and it was wonderful. I’d still put down some money for an interesting, well-designed collector’s edition guide for a game that I truly love. 

Oh god, video guides are worthless to me. In the time it takes to skip past the lengthy intros that refuse to get to the point, and jump back and forth until I find what I need, I can hit CTRL+F on a text guide and be done with it.

I liked it enough to get the platinum trophy, but never felt motivated enough to get into the DLC.

That would be really high on my wishlist. Throw in Soul Calibur, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Dead or Alive 2, and you’d have an amazing collection of fighting games.

What I wouldn’t give for a Dreamcast Classic/Mini. 

I still play my copy of P.T. every now and then, and it’s still amazing. I’ve been a horror fan for decades, and watched/played so many fantastic things that I thought I was immune to the genre.

Oh, I agree that government censorship and self-censorship to please a company’s fickle whims are different beasts, and anybody that tries to bring the first amendment into the argument is a small child that needs to go to school. 

It’s not technically censorship, but for the end user, it still has much the same effect. And sure, Sony is free to make their own rules, but what exactly is wrong with customers expressing their dissatisfaction with those rules?

Just because a company is well within their rights to do something shitty, that doesn’t make it any less shitty. Yes, the best way to get that point across is for customers and developers to take their business elsewhere, but there’s rarely any harm in people voicing their opinions.

Just started playing Death Mark, because I refuse to let Halloween end around here.
