The problem is, every big kid on the block winds up paying for their short-sightedness eventually. People forget their mistakes when they’re high, and the consumers punish them for their dickishness. It happened to Atari in 1983. It happened to Sega in 1995. It happened to Nintendo in 1996. It happened to Sony in…

Lets be frank Sony is playing hardball because they can. They wont come out and say it but its pretty obvious what they’re doing - you want to play Fortnight with your friends well you better have a Playstation too. Nintendo and Microsoft are playing nice for the obvious reasons they just don’t have the numbers to…

So you object to the fact that he got vocally upset about being hit with massively unprofessional behavior, which was both a personal insult and finacial injury?

I know he could have kept his opinion to himself and pass for the bigger man but he never received the respect he deserved from Kojima. Hayter didn’t just do a voice. He put his heart into the serie. Do you think Sutherland played MGS5? Hayter played MGS. Hayter had to do an audition for every... single... MGS game he…

I cannot recommend this comment enough. I did exactly the same thing after about 100 hours of playing. Decided I had had my fill and B-lined it to Hyrule Castle.

The 13 hearts thing is also not nearly as bad as it sounds; each Divine beast gives you one whole container, and if you've been picking up stamina wheels, you can swap them out for hearts using the evil statues, then switch them back when you're done. By the time you've completed 2-3 of the beasts, you've practically…

it’s also ballsy as hell for nintendo to just give players the end game up front but still trust that their game design and game world would be interesting enough to spend hundreds of hours in — which it is. 

You can argue the stories aren’t quite as intricate and focused or whatever, but Skyrim and basically all the games being mentioned do in fact have distinct endings. You can stick to the main quest lines and get there relatively quickly without getting bogged down in side quests.  You just have to do it rather than…

I’ve yet to play Witcher 3 but I think there’s some to be said there. I’ve beaten the core story of Breath of the Wild 2-3 times from start to end.... yet I’ve yet to complete any of the major DLC content.

And I think that’s in part due to the natures of the DLC focusing on adding lateral depths to the game(unlocking a…

I’ve had similar experiences, but at least with Breath of the Wild, the endgame was right there, ready and waiting for me whenever I wanted to hit it. So when I got to that point of starting to feel bored with the game, having done everything I wanted to do, I pointed myself at the castle and finished it off. Which is…

On the subject of Goku, he’s also never kissed anyone and finds kissing gross.  I’d say that Goku is asexual, and Chi-Chi is actually problematic.  In the 80's, it was cute, in today’s landscape (today’s BETTER landscape) her pursuit of Goku was at best troubling.

Bethesda even cites as Exhibit L in the suit, despite still having the site blacklisted and never responding to our emails.

This would never make it to court for the same reason none of the million other corporate-IP-related fan-projects that have been shut down ever ended up in court - even if they are legally in the right, few if any fan-projects have the massive financial resources needed to put up a (potentially long) fight against a…

The REAL winning strategy is to fly this guy out to the next Blizzcon, load him down with goodies, and (politely) make it clear that the wrath of Tyrael will descend on him if he tries this with something they’re still making money off of.

You are (unfortunately) wrong about the DMCA bit. Violating section 1201 of the DMCA is absurdly, ridiculously, stupendously easy. If there exists 1 bit, only ONE bit, which is completely undocumented and which you could not possibly know the purpose of, but which the company claims represents a copyright flag, and…
