No, they were quiet until the internet was invented. It’s a lot easier to be racist when you can broadcast it to the world with little to no consequences. We wouldn’t even be having this discussion right now if Valve just enforced their community rules. But because of their fabled “hands-off” approach, Valve seems…

SOMEONE KILL IT BEFORE IT TURNS INTO ANOTHER POINTLESS SONIC CHARACTER!!!

I have a couple points to make when it comes to this. First of all, the clip presented was strawman evidence; an absolute worst-case scenario but hardly the most common scenario. You wanna make an argument for violence in games? Show me the violence present in the industry’s top 10, and then we’ll talk. These are…

An important point to note is that gold points can also be spent on DLC. For some people, this would mean getting access to all the content for no additional cost, so there’s that to consider if you find the game rewards a little too stingy.

It’s the least popular in the series so... :/

That’s pretty much exactly what I said. Link has a character, but fortunately, it isn’t one that’s dependent on his gender.

...Except that Link IS more than an avatar for the player. He has motivations, everyone knows who he is and refers to him as “Link”, and he has a backstory explained through Mementos. That said, I see no reason why a female character wouldn’t fit in the role. The only iffy thing is the implied romance between Link and…

I dunno. I feel like that would overcomplicate the UI. Right now, they’ve got a clean, user-friendly OS going (which is one of the major reasons why people—including myself—purchase consoles). Let’s not ruin that. Honestly, I would prefer something similar to what they did on 3Ds: just let the user create folders so…

A Japan-only game from a franchise that has a microscopic fanbase, sold horribly, and has nothing planned for the future? I want it as much as you do, but releasing Mother 3 (solely from a business perspective) would take nothing less than a miracle. There just wouldn’t be any incentive unless the game performs so…

To be fair, this is the same guy that charged Mario and his friends exorbitant fees for shady novelty photos just because they wouldn’t take him on a cruise.

EVERYTHING I KNOW IS A LIE!!!

We’ve been in a political hellhole ever since politics were invented. Where the hell have YOU been? I assume in a magical utopia where the government actually gives a shit about its citizens? Y’know, a few blocks down from Wonderland.

Completely agree. There’s also the issue that Americans don’t take crime seriously, and children are being raised with little to no respect for the law. Somebody has to speak out against the normalization of murder and remind society that this is not okay.

I’m more concerned about that microscopic screen.

As soon as I saw my first sunset I was like, “Alright, Japan. You can stop showing off now.”

Fair enough, but often I find myself asking, “Is this game worth buying relative to other games in the genre?”; in which case, a binary ranking isn’t enough.

No kidding. People find so much as one blurry texture and suddenly the “review” plummets into “UNACCEPTABLE! REFUND ME NOW!” territory.

Claiming guns are the root cause is oversimplifying the issue. If little Billy was committed enough to his crime, he would’ve used an axe, a knife, hell even a bottle rocket, and killed just as many people. When murder’s on your mind, you tend not to be picky.

Considering Nintendo already knows about players reaching places they’re not supposed to be (ever notice random stacks of coins? that’s why.) you would think there would be a system in place that rejects a balloon placed in one of those areas and/or outside the level boundaries. At the very least, penalize players who…
