I’m 35. Zelda wherever I want beats Horizon ZD hands-down for me. Pick-up Bomberman and Mario Kart with lapsed gamers whenever, wherever?

I don’t disagree, but the if the SNES was a slam dunk, the NES was a 3pts and a foul.

You sure? It’s a favorable comparison BECAUSE it’s portable. The perception of value being sold isn’t “bigger, better”, but “more useful”. Wether the public bites is another thing, but the fact that you are comparing it to a console, even unfavorably, shows me Nintendo’s PR is a success for what is ostensibly a…

They’re PSP sized cases. It’s got nothing to do with the game size, but with retail space, as has always been the case. PS1 going from big boxes to CD cases is the exception size-wise, but the same rationale.

Or alternatively, it seems interior art is standard, which is awesome.

A lot of Daigo’s struggles have to do with the game itself. It heavily favors offense, it’s very difficult to whiff punish on reaction - near impossible for some moves, and set play and oki are super strong - even moreso with non-meter reversals removed.

Juggling Yakuza 0, Nioh, Hatsune Miku: Future Tone, and now For Honor. Hoping to finish or make enough progress in the single-player games and find my footing in for Honor before Zelda comes out.

My grandparents ran East from the Nazis to wind up in Siberia, where the kept Kosher at the risk of starvation.

Completely agree. I feel compelled to play all the single-player before I hit the mean streets of multiplayer for whaever reason, and while I’m having fun, it’s like “get on with it!” The tutorial shows you one move and and chain combo per character, and all the “advanced” moves like teching throws and feints are…

I agree with your statement completely, but to the opposite effect: Neither the Souls or BB game mechanics are so intricate that they HAD TO have been summed up in a tutorial exactly like this.

Great read!

Bloodborne respects your intelligence, but demands your attention. If you can’t be bothered to read the notes, you will die until you do, and this IS the tutorial: 1) pay attention or be punished. 2) You can figure out what to do to progress on your own.

The best I can make is it’s like having an arcade setup in your house. It’s expensive, and after the initial honeymoon and a title like RE7, you MIGHT play it a couple hours a week, but it’s an amazing and unique experience you can only get on that specialty hardware. If you’re the kind of person who can or would…

Thanks for the article. The rationale is pretty obvious, but I was never sure what the social stigmas were, or that it could even be fashionable.

This a great list! The townsfolk are going to come for you on that OoT rank, but if hobby-wide significance is out that window, fuck it, let it stand up on it’s own merits.

What a bummer. Chris G’s win was the perfect ending for main stage MvC3. Pokken may be slower but it’s new and has a lot of fresh ideas and would’ve liked to see it develop more at high levels.

“Maining” in Overwatch is so scrubby dude.

Holy shit is this really Warren Ellis’ Castlevania? Year of dreams, forever.

Why did you pay 70 dollars?
