Because it’s still over-hyped: if Breath of the Wild 2 doesn’t really knock it out of the park, people might admit BotW 1 actually has some pretty serious flaws (repetitive/disconnected shrines, repetitive enemies, Korok seed busywork, and rather disappointing bosses.)

It’s a good game that is very obviously missing its third act: they start building up how there’s going to be a new corporate war, with various foreign powers preparing for it in Night City, and then, just...nothing.

The flowers are literally 2D textures, so it’s very noticeable; most people just don’t seem to care. 

I had Mordin die when he was part of the rear-guard in my second playthrough, but he lived in my first when he went with me, so there’s that possibility.

The Emperor had always planned for the Astartes to rule humanity, but the problem was that the Horus Heresy broke people’s faith in them, because those same super human soldiers turned so much of humanity to treason; and because the Heresy also proved that most Astartes first loyalty was to their Chapter, you could…

This is basically what they wanted to make in Homeworld 2, though they lacked either the money or the technology to make it work.

I don’t know if it’s still the case, but YouTube at least had the three strike system, while Twitch just banned people without explanation. That’s a lot of stress

Fan websites require money to run, and I have my doubts that the creator would give people permission to make money off his work, even just to run a server.

Nintendo was always the Lawful Evil of modding, cracking down on basically everything equally, but Rockstar is the Chaotic Evil: every patch breaks mods, the policy towards mods is inconsistent, and the process of modding is so difficult that it’s hard to tell why anyone bothered in the first place.

It’s more about how a product should know what it is: an action game simply *can’t* take time to talk about deep social issues, because there’s no time to talk about culture and history in the middle of stuff blowing up, and if you try, the pacing will die and the game will be boring.

You could disable ratings, but it turns out that thwarting audience interaction is almost always harmful, so people didn’t often do that.

Be optimistic: maybe we’ll finally uncover the true identity behind who’s been stealing all those Sweet Rolls.

We were playing chess, Blizzard was playing 4D Checkers.

Still think this is hilarious.

People ask for horror, drama, and comedy entertainment all the time. People DON’T ask for alternate reality interpretations of fictional toy lines that break the established universe for no apparent reason.

Recettear: “Finally, a worthy opponent! Our battle will be low priced, so our combos can pump our customer loyalty and experience.”

The Asari secret was logical, just poorly explained: it’s a decent explanation for why they’re the first to find the Citadel/form the council, and why they’re such an important part of galactic society despite having such a vague role, but we were never given any indication that the Asari were hiding some major…

The writers also admitted they didn’t have an ending in mind when they started the series, and that’s always a recipe for disaster. 

Animal Crossing fans are weird: it’s like the fan base always sounds excited, but also beaten down.

I’m confused, because Federal law doesn’t usually preempt state laws that are stricter.
