HZD is a great game. But it doesn’t touch BotW. Not even close.

The goal isn’t to convince the unconvinceable. The goal is raise awareness, keep the base engaged, and increase voter turnout.

Setting aside whether or not such proportions are realistic, the broader concern is that every single character demonstrates them. Even characters who, in earlier games, weren’t so ludicrously exaggerated.

About the only good thing to come out of Epic Mickey was the fantastic concept art.

Because it literally doesn’t matter anymore. Confronting Trump (or his stooges) with his bullshit accomplishes absolutely nothing, and if anything just serves as more “evidence” that the press is biased against him. He’ll just tell you that red is blue, and keep going. There could be photo evidence. Video evidence. A…

It’s pretty amazing that it took until 2018 for home consoles to finally get an arcade-accurate port of Donkey Kong.

By ensuring there’s as little demand as possible?

It’s too bad Ubisoft wasn’t running a “shittiest analogy” contest. Very likely you’d have been paid.

Potentially, but it would be a mistake to release a Switch game without solid options for portable play. They’d need to redesign the game for standard controls.

To me, the joy of MM games is how replayable they are - trying stages in different order, experimenting with different weapons.

Two things:

I find that people use different terminology for Nintendo than they do with any other developer.

Damned if they do, damned if they don’t.

I think a few clone characters (apparently called “echoes” in SSB) are forgivable in a game with a bajillion characters. Even if you just removed them entirely, the roster would be plenty huge, so their inclusion is a kind of bonus.

The DLC shenanigans make this one a no-buy for me. Not, at least, until the “definitive edition” is available in a couple of years.

What pisses me off is that I use the PS4's “rest mode” specifically so that it can download all this shit when I’m not using it. That’s the whole point of that mode.

Players assaulted by an avalanche of toxicity shouldn’t have to spend half their play session blocking people.

People are incredibly (and dangerously) good at rationalizing their behavior.

Ban hate speech.
