Right, it’s not just the sexy part, it’s the skin part. It wouldn’t surprise me if the real reason she wasn’t included was that she’d affect the age rating in at least one territory.

This was exactly my thoughts, but admittedly the gameplay trailer has me worried the PvE is still an afterthought given you can spot exactly where in each existing map the shots take place.

The article didn't initially include that bit as the presentation was still going.

We are all fucked! Bum Ba-dum bum bum bum bum!

Personally, I’m not sticking to sports games. Too many other good things to do without limiting yourself arbitrarily like that.

It was Barry Petchesky at Deadspin. “Nobody” IS accurate for Kotaku.

I'm pretty sure that's wrong given a Totilo article went up after it was published, his tweets makes reference to steering the Kotaku ship, and Gita made a joke on Twitter about still having a job every time people celebrate her being fired.

Yeah, I haven’t had to specifically ghost a community because of a specific toxic person or anything, but I do tend to just ghost out of places as I lose interest, and I too find I’m not even trying to stick around and get involved as much in communities for the most part.  It does make me happier in some way though…

I’ve always wanted to play one of these but every time I bring it up to any of my friends, they shoot it down immediately and I don’t know why.

I’ll be playing more of Asgard’s Wrath on the Oculus Rift as well as going to a Nintendo Switch LAN party where we’ll be playing some Smash, Mario Kart, and Mario Party.

Yeah, I feel bad that was my immediate gut reaction too.  The idea seems cute though, so here’s hoping it doesn’t end like that.

I feel like the opposite happened which is weird when I see it mentioned as a classic in this article: When it first released, DK64 got a lot of praise then over time, people seemed to become less forgiving of its overly bloated nature.

Technically you could argue the same thing about actual bike racing, although I suppose actual bike racing probably lacks one bike that’s specifically better than every other one (and has sweet lights).

Even when the courses were bad, we had a good time.

Yeah, but the console doesn’t even have a kickstand and given the whole reason you’d buy a Switch Lite is the portability and price, if you’re just going to buy a controller and something to prop it up with anyways you’ve lost the convenience factor of the portability and you’ve cut into the price savings by buying…

But why would you remove the sticks and re-add the directional buttons when games were designed assuming the sticks would be sticks and the buttons would either be buttons or a d-pad?

So let me get this straight: The controller takes the D-Pad AKA the one change everybody wanted on the Switch, turns them back into separate buttons, then turns the control sticks into D-Pads so games that use the direction buttons as a D-Pad won’t play well AND games that use control sticks won’t play well? And it’s…

Yeah, pretty much.  Based on developer interviews, it sounds like the Quest is selling extremely well compared to other VR platforms and this sweetens the pot more since the big flaw was being limited to whatever smaller scale games could run on mobile hardware.  Really, this is what they should have just done from…

It’s sort-of coming to Quest now since they announced the Quest will be able to link to PC to become a Rift. I suspect that was the reason for their answer being worded the way it was.
