Good article. I cringed reading the title - simply because I’m so sick of hearing/reading about it, but some great points are made.

Yep. I only casually kept up with NMS - having mostly stuck with the mainstream interviews from Sean... And so I was prepared for the ‘chill the fuck out and just enjoy your surroundings’ approach... and I’ve been surprised at how much I’ve enjoyed it.

I’ve been working crazy hours lately, so it’s been a perfect game

I thought it was rich when they called Snowden an opportunist.

Over time, it seems that Assange doesn’t give much of a shit about anything other than elevating himself to ‘smartest guy in the room’ status. He’s fucking nothing but hyperbole at this point.

“The next leak will guarantee an indictment... but first let’s

I think it may have been part of PS+ in the past.

Super Mario Bros 3 is timeless. It’s still the best Mario game of all time. So much variety in power-ups, options on how to approach situations, tons of secrets to discover, different paths to reach the end, amazing multiplayer options... The fact that I can challenge the other player to fight in an old Mario

Lame. I loved Ponyo. The animation was incredible!

This game is great. Hopefully they’ll work out the PS4 online issues soon.

That 14th Arcade challenge is rough!

It’s also in-line with some of their original ideas. The original plan was to have some crazy cross-universe/dimension set-pieces and stories to tell.. but, of course, that was far too ambitious at the time.

Really, piracy is largely irrelevant for big AAA games.... And can actually be a good thing for a small dev who makes a legitimately great game... Though, it may not pay off until their next game... or until word-of-mouth has gotten around in time before the game became irrelevant or cloned.

Now, if you’re a small

I feel like the Free DLC for The Witcher 3 was meh. Yes, it’s free... but it seemed more like a marketing gimmick more than them just being generous. But maybe that’s just my cold, cynical ass.

There are so many things wrong with The Order...

* Forced Slow-ass Walking (I get it..”immersion”... but it’s still annoying from a user standpoint. I’ll walk if I want to walk and take it all in.)

Twin Snakes? Twin Snakes is awful. The cutscenes were way too over-the-top... And the boss AI was the same as PS1 version - only now you have far more control.

And the changes to the script were terrible.

But, I will say, I do like that Kojima actively encouraged them to re-do the cutscenes in their own style... The

Remastered Cutscenes are cool. Not sure I like the way The Boss looks, though.

Guys... I think he just won my vote. I was on the fence with both candidates and decided to leave it up to who could make the dankest Pokemon meme.

Their vaginas look weird.

It’s not literally about nothing... It’s about mundane minutiae. Shows usually had some contrived premise... Seinfeld’s was that they’re just 4 jackasses in New York with stupid first world problems, essentially.

I just don’t get the appeal of going live-action. Seems like, if done correctly, Nintendo could make mega bucks with some good CGI Mario/Zelda/Metroid/Pokemon movies.

It’d be tricky... but it could be done if Nintendo was willing to put as much love into them as they do with their first party games.

Good lord. And in 2 weeks, when the app has died among all those who are not mega Pokemon fans... They’ll wonder why they were so excited about it... then they’ll pass it off to a shitty/cheap studio.. and then Nintendo will stop it from happening.

Huzzah.

NOTE: I would like the developers to announce new features in
