Look, I try not to harp on people for things like this, but your spelling and mechanics need proofreading. You’ll always be taken more seriously if you take care of stuff like that first.

Wow, you weren’t kidding.

Okay, I thought that might be the case. I would probably dispute it’s placement on an article about 2016 because it’s only been in EA for a little while, but it’s very good as far as I’m concerned, so perhaps it fits.

I’m curious about why you placed Endless Space in the list on PC games this year. Endless Space is years old. Endless Legend is still getting updates and content, though, if that’s what you’re referring to.

Maybe Todd has been within us all along.

...experiential thrills of the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”).

I kinda figured it was fake when he started a The Last Guardian playthrough. I can’t imagine he’d drop it so soon.

Ha, this is a good rant. Happy to bump you out of the greys :)

Does this have any bearing whatsoever on Vivendi’s hostile takeover? Or is it just unfortunate that Ubi is dealing with pressure from two fronts at once?

God bless Team Skull AKA Team Hot Topic

Perhaps patching the game with free story improvements is more common than I initially expected. Was the pattern of patches something CDR made clear they would do? Or did it just happen unexpectedly? Because these patches for FFXV are unexpected.

Not very interested in this game, just wanted to say that I really liked this format for “reviewing” a game. Do more of this!

If you’re willing to download the Japanese language Judgement disc demo, you can play the first half chapter of the game. The combat there is identical to retail. The two demos don’t really represent well.

I’ve purchased The Witcher 3 on both Xbox One and PS4, but I never completed it by any definition. Love the game. Probably time to bump that to the front of my list.

I’m gonna assume you know some really tech savvy 10 year olds. I found 3DS hacking to be one of the most unusual hacks I’ve done on my devices (I’m an enthusiast tinkerer), and it took me longer than I expected. (I had to use the 2DS to N3DS transfer method for my primary N3DS console.)

This is really frustrating. I think I may go back to Persona 4 and The Witcher 3 until this patch arrives. FFXV is really fun, but this really bums me out.

Yeah, that’s the real kicker. Homebrew is generally agreed upon as an acceptable thing. It’s just really difficult to maintain because it runs in the userland.

Yes. My understanding is that if you aren’t hacked, you stay on the lowest firmware possible until the community figures out what the heck to do. If you upgrade, you’re out of luck and you wait some more. If you’re already hacked, you can’t be unhacked unless you do it manually.

I think it’s worth mentioning that the nature of current ARM11 and ARM9 exploits that allow for installation of custom firmwares (and ultimately piracy) are essentially permanent at this point. People who have hacked 3DSs aren’t going to get patched out, even as they apply new software updates. The exploits available…

Thanks for the brilliant breakdown. I’m not a heavy anime fan, but I appreciate the art and like to observe the discussions from the sidelines.
