But not entirely optional, which would not only be ideal, but incredibly doable from a development standpoint. Lack of conscientiousness is a terrible reason to make that kind of design decision.

........can I just not want to play it because I don’t want to buy a finicky console with motion controls to play yet another goddamn open world game that has a story barely more advanced than “excuse plot”?

Another great story, Jason. A couple things really stand out to me here. First, The statement you got from Patrick Söderlund is pretty remarkable. I know there’s still corporate speak, but that was still pretty detailed and lined up with all of the rest of your reporting.

Your post should read. “I did not read the article.” Were you in a competition to post something?

october: i will make fun of this animal crossing phone game

Nintendo should join the 21st century! Nintendo should make its games for other platforms! Well now they have IAPs and mobile timer nonsense and Tom Nook will drain your actual bank account.

Why on Earth would you look at Dimensions and Infinity collapsing and say to yourself “Oh yeah, *now* is the time to strike the toys-to-life genre!”

I remember when they started shaping the Simpsons DVD cases like characters’ heads. They started, like, 7 seasons in, I think. Why would you do that? Consistency, people!

Bite your tongue. I’ve been looking forward to this Direct since Spring!

There’ll be a Nintendo Direct on October 24 at 11pm Eastern

Jesus, it’s hard to remember she used to look like that. In the header photo, she looks like she’s early 40s at best. :/

This is before she went crazy with injectibles and all that unnecessary cosmetic work a naturally good looking girl clearly did not need. Most women don’t need that shit.

Kane: It would be a sad error in judgement to mistake me for a corpse.

NEVER!

YES. Fuck them forever for Westwood’s closing.

In its current form, it was shaping up to be a story-based, linear adventure game. Throughout the development process, we have been testing the game concept with players, listening to the feedback about what and how they want to play, and closely tracking fundamental shifts in the marketplace. It has become clear…

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.....what the fuck, EA?

I guess this explains why we haven’t seen anything from their Star Wars game...you know, the assumed-to-be-good one that Kim Swift, Jade Raymond, and Amy Hennig have been working on.

I’m guessing that’s dead now....wonderful.

EDIT: Just read Söderlund’s comment, so not…

sounds a lot like they want to make it more like destiny and less like uncharted
