The new logo is “easier to scan” in that your eyes will glide right over it, take in no details, and become so bored you instantly forget what it looks like. So that’s... a thing. I don’t think the older logo was a GOAT or anything, but certainly better than this boring “we picked a font from the word processing…

Unfortunately, Nintendo’s biggest successes are actually pretty, pretty boring. 2D Mario for multiple players to play at once, on the popular Wii console. Mario Kart, but on Wii this time. Mario Kart, but on Switch this time. Animal Crossing, but on Switch this time. Pokemon, but on Switch this time. etc.

The fact that they don’t make 100s of SKUs a year means they have SOME knowledge about what people will want and “too small to reasonably hold” is a very real concern for a handheld device. Especially considering the very notable popularity of the larger versions of each unit of the DS lines.

This is such a weird take. Reggie’s opinion is that “Maybe we should sell stuff that people like and want to buy?” And your opinion is that the fact that it was weird and dumb was cool, actually? I’m normally 1000% anti-CEO, but... nah he’s correct.

Amano’s designs for FFVII are wildly worse than what the other artists turned out. Of course he did great work for many of the earlier games, but this was the beginning of the end for his output contributing to things.

Not correct, Vanguard is not a Treyarch OR a (shambling corpse of) Infinity Ward game. Also, different studios sometimes offer assistance on a title that is not primarily theirs.

Rude = your wildly misleading headline.

Naw, actually Kotaku very happily starts from the premise of “Gamers are probably being jerks” in every article about discord in a community and only shifts to the weight of “Oh wait... this dev/publisher/etc sucks actually,” when there’s a ton of evidence for that. Look up the embarrassingly defensive BF 2042…

I don’t think the devs should crunch to add more to this game. I also completely don’t understand the take that the gamers are being meanies by... expecting 343 to do the things they said they’d do? To release a comparable Halo game to the ones they already made? Like... the players aren’t the devs friends, they are…

I’ve done the contract work gig before. It’s the same thing as full time, except you will go bankrupt if you get sick, any time off means you’re not getting paid, and the company does fun little things to humiliate you and make you feel less than now and again. Like uninviting you from the Christmas party full of free…

If by “the sequel it deserves” you simply meant “That game was good, it deserves a sequel!” then sure, that’s not objectionable. Suggesting that this project done by a completely random team about a different subject entirely is that sequel is almost 100% objectionable.

Introducing a black character and then having a stand-in for all the story is actually a widespread complaint in media. Example, The Princess and the Frog mostly starring... a frog, and not Disney’s ballyhooed first Black Princess.

We are removing a silly exploit from the game that hurt no one. Co-op isn’t ready yet, stop asking. So who wants to buy some more microtransactions???

It’s all very simple. When you “Play to Earn”, you are no longer playing. It is a job. This is just an office job, but without safe returns or employment laws to work in your favor or Paid Time Off or Federal Holidays or...

Matt heard that Kylo Ren has an 8 pack. He heard he was SHREDDED.

“I hate both ants and wasps, so I felt weird about playing either one. Then they explained the concept of the film and I was like ohhhhhhh”

He’s not “resorting” to anything, this kind of toxic rant is his entire brand.

Rockstar’s use of money is just re-releasing GTA V on every platform until we’re all dead. Making these interesting games playable again for a new generation (you clearly aren’t aware of the actual state of these games in the present day, the top Steam reviews simply say “Don’t buy these in this condition”) is a…

Your statement is only true if we presume that the phrase “the value of your purchase” is equivalent to “worthless in real terms.”

All the Bravest came out LONG before Avengers. You can’t blame anyone but the company itself for being scummy.
