Don’t know why there’s much mystery about whether a kid like that to get ejected. Seems like a pretty black and white situation.

Me: One trick Pony! clap clap clapclapclap

These developers spent four years working on this game. It’s extremely good and it has a *lot* of content in it. I’ve played through every chapter in the game five times. The story is good. Every chapter has a “B-side” remix version that’s way more intricately difficult. I’ve spent around 40 hours just replaying the…

Counterpoint: $20 is an outrageously amazing value for a thoughtfully developed, by above-counts excellent, gaming experience of any length. Personally speaking, I will buy and play this game.

My favorite comment on literally every indie game ever is when somebody works on an incredible piece of art for multiple years, suffers through an excruciating decision of what their personal project is worth/should cost, only to have somebody else judge it based on such valuable metrics as “how much gift cards cover”…

Fuck this woman. Fuck fuck fuck this woman.

I chose to review it because, as I said in the second paragraph, I was hoping that Takahashi and crew would make something I enjoyed more this time around.

I can’t believe how much I enjoyed The Man From U.N.C.L.E. It was charming as hell.

(The stream was canceled.)

There’s actually four problems with Star Wars Battlefront, all semi related but has distinct differences

And it’s hard not to feel bad for all the developers who crunched their asses off to ship this game and had nothing to do with loot crates.

I hope these games point the way forward to others looking to make large-scale open-world games. I’ve loved Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild so much (BotW easily ascended the ranks to become the most genuinely enjoyable game I’ve ever played, narrowly edging the previous champion - Super Mario World)! I had…

It sounds like the morality argument is in two parts:

It’s gambling. And gambling is a regulated industry. And it’s online gambling (that’s illegal in most states, btw) aimed at children. So exploiting people, especially children, is considered a moral issue.

Worker and consumer rights are absolutely moral issues, largely because compensation for labor and the cost of goods (at least under capitalism) is fundamentally exploitative in execution. Usually, we roll with it and that’s fine. For instance, I don’t have a problem giving my guy at the bodega a buck for a soda even…

Very much ‘stop and smell the roses’ for me, I typically explore every area to exhaustion before moving on. Instinctively I go for any place I think they might not suspect me to go to find secrets. Consequently I feel like everyone else plow through games like bulldozers and I’m always way behind. I also abuse the…

Spinball was a fantastic game with a pretty serious learning curve. It took my 10 year old self so long to figure out how to beat the first level that it’s music and sfx are imprinted on my brain.

This analogy isn’t really working for me. As I said in the article’s first sentence, my issue with Furi isn’t that it’s difficult, which as you point out, is exactly how the game is billed. My issue with Furi is that the developers are demanding a level of competence and consideration from players that I’m not sure…
