In 10 years you’ll be wondering “why is everything so bland, why does everything feel so cheap?”. It will be the artistic equivalent of everything being made out of plastic.

I can’t wait for us to get past this whole point. It isn’t going anywhere and won’t be regulated away. I still remember how up in arms everyone one was about how digital art was going to ruin the entire industry. A decade or two from now & an article like this will seem even sillier than it currently does. Adapt or…

“Kuma! That’s not how marriage proposals work!”

...realizing Persona 5 is already six years old...

No, sorry but BG3 deserves the number 1 spot. I get there's a portion of the gaming community not used to the style of gameplay. I get that it swept most gaming awards this year so there's suddenly this feeling of it being a gaming Goliath and anything else up against it is like David. But the sheer effort, attention…

Even I was relieved when I clicked and it was an actual list!

It’s not clickbait if you literally have to read the entire article to get to the bait. 

Just two things;

The siren song of a video game that hooks you has never and will never be limited to the release window.

I’d have split the difference. Have Sutherland be both Venom and Ishmael in the prologue, and then much later on with the prologue replay have Sutherland still be Venom while Hayter became Ishmael/Big Boss.

Right? SE has been putting Triple Triad in a lot of their other games it was so fun. Its a pretty massive game to play both pvp and against computer opponents in FFXIV. Such a simple and fun game.

I think this is the matter of a (increasingly sensationalist) website reporting form another website parsing legalese across 2 countries.

As someone who got into the franchise through V (Summer Steam sale during the pandemic), I thought the Sutherland’s performance was pretty decent. The worst part of just how little there actually was. It’s clear once you get the the game’s second half that the story is basically unfinished.

Going back to the older…

I never understood this notion of “someone else has it worse so your feeling are invalid”. If you tired, you’re tired and companies suck in general now with the bureaucracies. You don’t have to live in a war torn country or a slave ring to have it a bit rough. Let the man have his tweet, dayum.

When did this trend of hating on Hideo Kojima start? Sure the dude is a bit eccentric, but I’m not so sure I’d agree that he is “insufferably pretentious.” You might just be someone who doesn’t really like his games. The dude knows what he is. Is his exhaustion self-inflicted? Yes, most likely. But he also admittedly…

Things are rough all over, universe doesn’t revolve around you or him or me. Not a big fan of Kojima’s work, but how you could possibly know what’s going on in his life? 

You guys have the same number of jokes as the “identify as an attack helicopter” people

Exactly. I don’t care that how ubiquitous our internet connection is, the inability to play an offline game without the internet is unacceptable.

And let’s not forget that the mandatory Kinect, coupled with a mandatory always-on internet, was a major privacy issue.

The people who will run in with attempts at “told you so”s will ignore two major elements:

1) Even if it was the best thing ever, Microsoft did such an ATROCIOUS job explaining/marketing it, it never would have mattered. The case study of just how you could botch a console launch from every conceivable angle is…
