My inner kid agrees with you. But adult-me thinks that a game which forces you into deaths to improve when there’s no save system and lives are limited is just poorly designed. I mean, Sonic 1 and 2 (without Super Saiyan Sonic) were tough games, and they were aimed at kids.

I kinda agree these games are all flawed. Even the beloved Sonic 2 (8 year old me loved it) has that huge flaw. You want to play fast as it’s supposed to be designed ? You better know the levels by heart or have god-like reflexes, or you’ll die a lot.

I wouldn’t talk about politics to my children. That’s how I was raised. I discovered my parent’s opinions way after I left the home. It allowed me to forge personal convictions. I really like that part of my education.

The “You can’t because of budget cuts?” example is both a “I listened carefuly to what you said” and a “Tell me more about these budget cuts, you can’t just throw any excuse and expect me to take it at face value”.

I think Jason, Mike, Brian and Luke are way too popular and get too many comments, so they probably don’t read many comments proportionally to the huge mass they receive.

I think I follow Kotaku since roughly 10 years, more or less. I was ungrayed recently, I think by Richard Eisenbeis just before he left on a PS Vita game article. Got very lucky there, and I wasn’t really trying to be ungreyed, just trying to be useful.

Oh yeah, this part was... well, I don’t understand why he wrote that or if he really mean it...

There’s no denying that!

I came exactly to see that.

A lot of women have this fantasy of converting a gay male too. Now I sound sexist. Not intended. 

He talked about the NAME of the variables. I don’t understand why he talks about the NAME of the variables, but I think you missed his point. And I think HE missed a few things here too...

It’s important to know your History. I mean, “France” has been warring for like 2 000 years, and we learn that in school, and we really treasure current peace, even if it’s a relative one.

I don’t even understand, in the Internet era, why they try to conceal their past to their own people.

Any public figure who dresses up as nazis for fun or for the looks, knowlingly or not, is a problem. It’d be the same if they were english (like that stupid prince did) but it’s even worse since they were axis.

“Slutty” is going to be trending on twitter very soon.

It really feels like Rigs is not worth it. I mean, it’s awesome, you’re there in that robot, looking everywhere, jumping, moving and so on!

You sold me at “5 hours campaign”.

I don’t see how the game could balance the tension of “one life only ever” with the fact that it has to at least give the player, who obviously never played this game, a chance.

Germany is doing fine. Japan is demographically doomed in a couple centuries if they don’t fix their whole society.

Yes and no. ^^ The winner writes History for sure. But never in History, to my knowledge, has genocide been considered a positive thing. In french schools we get taught of all the wrong things we did, even when we won.
