Well, I don’t think it’s a big deal in the slightest, and was just writing up a lighthearted thing that keeps coming up in our Slack. I’m dreadfully sorry this ruined your day.

Let’s be abundantly clear here: Tears of the Kingdom (TotK) is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild in a way no Zelda game has been a direct sequel since 1987's Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. Yes, sure, Majora’s Mask followed on from Ocarina of Time, and Phantom Hourglass picked up after Wind Waker, but TotK is…

In some interview, or maybe a reddit AMA, they mentioned that designing all the PvE modes for heroes turned out to actually be as difficult, if not more difficult, than designing a new hero from scratch. So all the time developing PvE abilities for the existing core class took a ton of time.

Like, when they stopped releasing content for OW1, the dev team said it was so they could release OW2 with a bunch of new heroes and maps... And now the PvP is launching with three heroes and four new maps.

you can save credits if you want to see what will be available in the overwatch 2 hero gallery, but if you want overwatch’s existing seasonal collection items, spend credits now

“This weapon lacks inking power but makes up for it by how good it is at splatting enemies”

Blizzard’s lightly anticipated game

I’m on the opposite end, still sticking with the Aerospray for the third time because nothing else feels good to use. I’m bad at getting kills, so why not spec all the way into coverage? Honestly can’t stand matches against people with “killing” weapons, it’s a valid strategy to keep the other team down but it’s so…

It’s a reboot of a second-tier open world crime franchise that steers away from the one thing that set the franchise apart in the first place (wacky, over-the-top irreverence).

There are two ways to interpret your comment:

And this is why SE is swimming in debt and had to sell off their IPs, meanwhile their insane CEO is all “let’s gamble company money and what little goodwill we have from fans on NFT Blockchain garbage durrhurhurhur”

With the benefit of hindsight, I think Hironobu Sakaguchi probably made the right move when he just up…

Maybe I’m just getting old and soft, but my mind went to all the devs and team members who actually probably worked very hard on this game and were likely to some degree mismanaged. Hopefully they work on enough not to have this kind of thing affect them too much, but I’m sure it can’t be great for morale.

Deplatforming works

It’s a shame so many innocent people are affected, but powerful shitheads suffering consequences doesn’t happen enough.

It would be even better if it made you play it yourself.

Sadly not all that surprising if you just look at the previous Arkham games with even a bit of a critical eye. They’re objectively good games with solid writing and gameplay that helps fulfill the fantasy of being Batman, but they’re also very much products of their time.

I remember when I recently played through the…

And they DID provide that feedback. And Apple did nothing.

They are probably working on bringing a lot of those PSX classics to the Switch.  I would expect Xenogears to come along too. and maybe the Parasite Eve games.

This is good news, Splatoon is one of the few child friendly shooters to really survive (Fortnite is not REALLY child friendly imo, it’s close but very clearly for a  teenage audience mainly) in the industry so I’m glad it is continuing. hopefully this also leads to the older splatoon games going on sale so I can get…
