Maybe if the quality wasn’t one notch above the show Reboot people would be more into it? Good lord. Stiff animation and not the most detailed in general.

Looks decent for at least a light workout.  I just wish there was a dedicated co-op or two-player element, even if it meant having to buy two rings.  

Totally agree. Pull out a banged up GBC or GBA and fire up a game. The screen will legitimately give you eye strain and even if it doesn’t, you’ll be wishing the entire time that it wasn’t so dim and bland. Unless you’re one of the extreme few who is willing and able to do a screen mod, this is an interesting…

You know what would be great? A Magic game that was limited to everything up to Ice Age, or shortly after. The game was much cleaner and fun before they started adding every rule and ability imaginable just to keep the cash register ringing. You can actually learn all the cards, combos, etc. without making it a…

Ninja Gaiden 3 is not very good.  I’m not saying don’t download it, but I got it for about $6 about five years ago and was glad I didn’t pay anymore.  

If anyone is looking for a middle ground here, I would say not being so stingy with vacation time would be it. Everyone simply having a few weeks off a year as a standard would help a lot. That way the vast majority of people would at least have the time they need for emergencies, a few mental health days, and *gasp*…

Are they? Keenum admittedly had a horrible, horrible game.  That said, the Bears D is pretty awesome and most of the fan outrage is only because they see Daniel Jones stepping in and doing well.  In other words, they’re comparing apples and oranges in a way that only shouty NFL fans can do.  Things can get MUCH worse…

I’m shocked that an advertisement in the form of a video game didn’t take the time to do justice to an incredibly niche game genre that most people in the world aren’t even aware of.

This actually wasn’t terrible.  It was pretty much a stripped down version of Hitman or Splinter Cell, and worst case you could grab the easy achievements if so inclined.

Yeah I really do hate this. The silver lining though is that tanking, while possibly the best way to actually build a franchise, has its limits. Maybe Fitzpatrick would’ve been willing to stick around if they lost a couple competitive games and/or management talked to him personally about wanting him to be a part of…

I tend to agree. Now you could certainly make the argument that that game can’t under any circumstances be discussed without exploring the allegations against Brown. Whether I completely agree with that or not I’d have to think more about.

Do you remember MGSV’s trailer? Fucking took my breath away. One of my favorite trailers for anything ever. Then you buy the game and realize there’s a fuck ton wrong with it and that the trailer was the best part about the game.

According to the internet, Kojima games do deliver some kind of out of body experience that I’m somehow not getting, so this review makes sense.

Yeah this is actually a general statement not aimed directly at Death Stranding but the “you can connect with others!” feature shouldn’t automatically be viewed as a feature everyone will love.  God forbid I’m not connected to anyone else for a little while.

Two games that I’ve made arguments for being among the most overrated video games of all time, so yeah.  I have no qualms about believing this to look boring.

I have to watch the demo but I was going to just make a blind purchase here, yet based on this article I think it simply sounds terrible. Does anyone actually like being burdened by items? There’s always been a joke about how Snake carries huge weapons in his pockets, but no one ever made that joke and followed it up…

At this point, can anything really be gleaned from a new version of Monopoly coming out? Oversaturated, forced, hackneyed versions of Monopoly are like the original Funko Pops as far as gluttonous manufacturing goes.

Are these comments from 2009? I thought the “Monopoly actually sucks” hot take was as firmly ingrained in the internet as “Return of the Jedi is horrible because Ewoks or something”. The former is true and the latter nonsense, but regardless.

Yes, pretty much what I wrote in my post.  Fans yearn for analytics to be accurate.  It’s such a weird obsession.  If the analytics were ever THAT good, those people would probably just stop watching.  Sometimes I think fans love analytics mostly because it saves from actually having to watch a lot of games.....

I don’t think sports fans who clamor for analytics understand the dangerous game they’re playing here. You know what happens if sports become more or less predictable? Everyone stops watching sports and some or all of them simply die out, at least from a fan perspective. In this hypothetical future, why would you…
