Yeah, that aesthetic is not great. I get wanting to differentiate from The Sims in some respect, but a stylized look is the way to go in my opinion.

Sure, Sims 4 has been out for a while. But we all know it’s nearly 10 years old. A sequel feels more like an “when” than an “if”. If a competitor can stake a decent enough claim in the life sim genre before the eventual Sims 5, I could see some serious growth. The biggest factor to me is whether they microtransaction…

A smaller scale Star War. A Star Skirmish.

I applaud you for using “PSX” instead of “PS1”

Zelda II is super daunting. The (somewhat) random encounters, the tiny health bar, and being thrown all the way back to where Zelda is sleeping every time you game over make it a pain to get through. I made it to Link's Shadow a few times as a kid, but I still haven’t beaten it. One day I’m going to plow through it…

Tin-ness? Abbel jooz?

I think you’re underestimating our capacity to be pissed off.

I noticed that when I checked the games last night. Making you start playing (even if you don’t have to finish a case) in order to download DLC is a weird decision. Oh well, at least I have the extra cases ready to go for whenever I really start each game.

That makes it a little better. It’s still disappointing that you can’t at least download the puzzles, even if access to them is gated.

No.

“And if you want the DLC for Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright, you apparently have to beat the game to get access to the ability to purchase it?”

It really isn’t. As nice as PC gaming sounds, I’ve always had bad luck whenever I’ve tried it over the years. Games either run poorly or don’t run at all. Or they run fine, but I can’t figure out how to install mods. No thanks. I’ll stick with a console, even if it isn’t the optimal experience.

I hadn’t heard of the game until now, but the description had me intrigued. I was all set to check it out until I looked elsewhere online and read that it’s online only. I don’t have PS+ and really wasn’t looking to subscribe any time soon.

“...the landscape is changing & the swindlers you are used to will no longer have a seat at the table.”

They could reintroduce them via another universe. I don’t think that they should, certainly not with the intention of keeping them around, but it’s an option.

If they hadn't changed the ending, I would agree that Samus Returns is superior. The tacked on final boss soured me on it.

It's pretty obvious how he got there. He rode to France on his motorcycle.

Easy.

Clancy Brown’s portrayal of Lex Luthor is not only the best, it's the only one worth watching. All of the others are trash.
