What is life, but a series of never-ending fetch quests and poorly implemented morality systems?

Its not useful to use the word “anime” simultaneously to describe two opposing evaluations of a work.

Classic! But the stool was a reference to the central plot of the game: something along the lines of: the king’s coffee table (used for holding a glass of milk) keeps falling over due to having a short leg. The only solution is to close the gap by placing a perfectly-sized red squirrel under the leg to fix the wobble.

Hah! The stool reference is spot-on!

Yeah but the gore in this game is a lot more intense and stylistically ‘real’ as opposed to, say, something like RE4 which had campy gore at best. Village seems to rely a lot more grossing out the player by showcasing first-person body mutilation rather than attempting a more traditional zombie scare. To be fair, I…

Also to add to what others have been saying: just because a game was claimed, say, 1 million times for free doesn’t mean it would have been purchased even close to 1 million times if it only cost $1. I’ve claimed most free games from the Epic store giveaways, and had any interest in playing maybe a few. In reality I ma…

The idea of “Character Edit Vouchers” locked behind a single-use pay-wall is kind of gross and really stinks of F2P MMO. Just make it an option already..

Whoa, I legit did not know she was intersex (also did not know the meaning of this word before now, learn something new every day). Went completely over my head years ago.

Personally I watch Let’s Plays a lot, even as someone who plays games daily. It really helps me absorb the gist of a game that I either wouldn’t enjoy playing (or wonuldn’t have time for). And often, the person commenting it helps bring the good and the bad of the game to my attention. For me, Indivisible was a game…

Fuck the White Palace, amirite?

My advice is a bit more pragmatic: you don’t have to play the game if you just want to enjoy its story and aesthetic. If all you really enjoy about it is the lore and the atmosphere, then Let’s Plays and Playthroughs are a great way to immerse yourself in the world of a game through the eyes of a player who is…

Dev re-working Garrus’s armor:

Agreed. I think as the gaming community matures, it’s good that we keep actively asking ourselves ‘is this problematic’? As gamers, it shows that we give a shit not just about games but also the world at large. Which is great, but it’s also important for us to remember that moderation exists, and each story is seldom…

I think you really got it right when you said that each argument here is a minefield. No matter where you step, it’s a slippery slope in either direction.

I’ve read that they tried to make this MH entry the most newbie friendly entry, but honestly (and I say this as a MH veteran at this point) all the game does is barrage you with tutorial boxes on mechanic info dumps for the first two and odd hours. While many older MH games wouldn’t even have done that, I don’t think…

I think you are arguing semantics, but I’m also not sure I understand your point.

I’ve grown to unironically love that movie haha!

It’s nice to try and overlook the incubators’ and eggs’ lootbox-like qualities in favor of seeing it as an extra thing, but at end of day, psychologically-speaking, I’d say it still achieves the same function as your average loot box, in that you have a chance to get a random digital gain from an existing pool of…

I think the important name to see there is Tribute Games, they did a bunch of supposedly solid indie games like Wizorb, Flinthook and Panzer Paladin. The only game of theirs I played was Mercenary Kings, but wasn’t my jam. They do some top-notch pixel animation though!

Gotcha, I appreciate that clarification. I hadn’t really looked into its western reception before so I was curious. I enjoyed the first season well enough, in spite of the problematic material, which was sometimes hard to swallow. And I had totally forgotten about that false rape situation.. I guess the…
