You only know of Saint’s Row IV? I would definitely throw the three Crackdowns in there (the hero characters literally gain origin Superman’s powers, jumping over a tall building in a single jump, being able to lift and throw cars, etc). There’s also Sunset Overdrive, the two Gravity Rush games, and Biomutant (the…

“They said you should only have to buy the game once and that they’d support it nearly endlessly.” You would have difficulty finding this quote, considering they never said that in so many words. It is true that you can play for free AND it is true that they are continuously updating the game. They have never even…

Saint’s Row IV was a risk taking game? No... it wasn’t at all! They reused the map from III (and most of the weapons) and then covered up the low budget nature of the game by adding superpowers and “wackiness” to an overbundance that MANY series fans criticized. If you look at the time period of its release and what…

Again... No More Heroes 3 came out this past week, as did Psychonauts 2. If your complaint is that nothing with a Call of Duty level budget is wacky, alright but... none of the wacky games you fondly remember from the past had Call of Duty level budgets either. There are funny, silly, out there games to play is the…

Destroy All Humans had a remaster release last year. No More Heroes 3 came out this week. Just Cause is an ongoing series with 4 being the most recent release, Biomutant was a month or two ago, etc. You wanted so badly to disqualify this list you didn’t even google the names on it...

You could theoretically get your money back from a trip to Disneyland if the experience is so horrible two hours in that you’re considering that option. It’s not an automatic yes, but they do have customer service teams for a reason. And yes, videogames are art, but they are also consumer products, which you can…

Is your argument that Saints Row 1 and 2 weren’t “really” Saints Row? Because this game clearly seems to be more inspired by the style of those two.

The idea that Saints Row was the last bastion of wackiness or camp in video games is objectively wrong and very hard to even understand as an idea.

Saint’s Row was never actually AAA. Slightly lower budget than that. And in that space, there’s always been stuff like Destroy All Humans, Overlord, Mo More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, Just Cause, Biomutant, Sunset Overdrive, etc. Wacky games really aren’t that uncommon, I have no idea where the perception of that…

There is absolutely an upper limit to how silly and ridiculous things can get without becoming less interesting, and they had WAY crossed it by the time of IV, much less the Hell expansion. There was TONS of criticism of those games at the time and people definitely lost interest. I’m not saying the new SR will…

Regarding framerate, something that doesn’t bother me so much is “we targeted a lower framerate as the floor (say, 30 FPS) and it never dips below that.” Something that bothers me tremendously is “the framerate is terrible and actually physically painful to watch but... like art... maaaan.” Nintendo should have…

Are you seriously arguing that their review is bad because they didn’t min/max solving the puzzles? That’s a confusingly bad comment.

I AM actually curious what caused the ban, since Twitch didn’t think anti-vax stuff or filming kids in public bathrooms was worth more than a slap on the wrist...

“Some people believe in genocide” is not something you present in any context outside of “talking about the beliefs of dangerous fringe groups.”

That’s Destiny 1. The current game is Destiny 2, nothing carried over from the first (many things released again, but you can’t just transfer content).

When you come across a repulsive opinion, presenting it neutrally is also a repulsive thing to do. Running cover for this is a repulsive thing to do, as you are doing now.

It is okay to enjoy the games, if that is how you feel. My comment pushes back against the toxicity in this article, that suggests well founded complaints about a long term gaming shame are all sour grapes, childishness, or stupidity. They aren’t and Kotaku is so fond at taking swings at toxic gamers (who DO often…

There’s a lot going on here. I’ll have to break it down.

More successful streamers share their audience with their friends, channels they like, or small channels they would like to assist. As with any tool, you can also attempt to hurt someone with it, it doesn’t make the tool itself evil.

The day will be September 1st, it helps to read the whole article (or read the text in the image they posted).
