It’s certainly original, but having coincidentally played it for the first time the other day, there's nothing redeeming there. Aside from the weird premise it lacks any of the charm or energy of games like Katamari or Gitaroo Man. It's just boring and also really pervy towards the teenage girl.

I thought it might be as simple as the fact that a kiss is easy to edit out seamlessly, while how much of episode three would even be left if you cut out the gay romance portions? I doubt it would even be coherent.

Even if I didn't already own two versions of this game, I wouldn't care.

I had no idea they were charging $40 for this mess, I figured it was closer to $20 since it’s just a straight port. Ballsy move, especially since I’m pretty sure the PS3 release with both games was $30.

This might be a good time to recommend everyone just go play Arkham Origins instead, since it seems like a lot of people skipped it at release and it's very well regarded now.

Obviously we only have a surface-level and outside understanding of what’s going on, but from how I’m reading this it seems like it might be the case that this young dev is highly protective of a project that understandably is very personal to him, and when the publisher didn’t treat it with the utmost reverence he…

I mean, good luck to Microsoft, considering CoD’s longstanding and complete disregard for respecting our hard drives with ridiculous install sizes. But more importantly, I hope this hearkens a return to the old days of Nintendo third party games with exclusive content, such as when Mario and Luigi joined in on NBA…

I completely agree that P5 and the series as a whole desperately needs to branch out and be more inclusive. However, I'm currently replaying P5R and have nearly finished Ryuji's confidant arc, and all of this is a stretch. As others have more eloquently put it, there's nothing wrong with having two male friends open…

Uhh...strange that the mods banned him for trying to enrich himself through the sub that largely existed as an effort to enrich users. (I know it’s all in the details, I just think in broad strokes it’s ironic and hypocritical).

I will say, I’m sure right wing outlets are being hypocritical shitheads about this as usual, but unfortunately there’s been plenty of fearmongering on far left subreddits that I visit as well along the same lines (conspiracies, acid rain, etc). I agree that it’s a huge issue and we need better access to actual local…

I had your same experience, while also feeling like the physics are super wonky. Smash Bros endures for many reasons, but one is that the game feel and physics are tight and predictable - if I get launched and need to quickly get back on stage, I instantly have a great sense of momentum and what needs to be done. This…

I have a deep love for Baten Kaitos ever since I played them as a teen when they first came out. I own them on Gamecube and have been slowly replaying them over the past year or so (gaming with a toddler is tough) and they have aged incredibly well. The illustrated backgrounds are gorgeous, the menus and portraits are…

I mean...yeah, obviously? There’s always overlap in game releases between generations. The PS5 and Xbox Series have just recently started to break out from cross-generation releases. The 3ds was still somehow having major-ish releases for a while after the Switch released and was incredibly popular. I’d guess the…

Legend of Zelda: Nuts and Bolts

I think it’s okay to bring up some concerns as recent titles have been struggling on the old hardware, but I agree there’s no way that’s the case here. Plus I think it’s been confirmed that Monolith is helping quite a bit with ToTK, and they’re wizards with the Switch hardware. No way this is a Scarlet / Violet…

I also wonder if that’s voice acting purely for the trailer? It did feel very out of place / tacked on, like they tried the trailer without it and realized that you would have no idea who the villain is for most of it (the moon???) or who the “him” Zelda mentioned was, and they still want to mostly obscure the…

What an absolute journey. 

A lot of weirdly strong defenses of two insanely large corporate entities merging into a much large corporate entity with very little benefit to actual users in these comments...

Nintendo is very skittish about releasing games within the same series close to new release dates, as they seem to think the classics might cannibalize some new sales, so I doubt we’d get a Zelda port three months before a massive new release.

Rhino realizes it’s been moved to Florida against its will: “I’d rather die.”
