As someone who worked at gamestop a long time, I guarantee they will do everything they can to get people not to buy the digital only xbox. 

Yeah, the battle system is fun too. It's cool to unlock longer and longer combos for the characters.  Pretty satisfying when you can pull off the whole string of normal attacks.

I’ve noticed that the generation of gamers behind me just absolutely loves Legend of Dragoon. Its funny because when it was released, while not trashed, was often dismissed as a meh FF7 knockoff. Personally I feel that yes it was a blatant FF7 knockoff, but it was a very good knockoff.

If there’s anything that puts me in a great mood, it’s talking about 90’s JRPGs, with like-minded aficionados. 

We didn’t deserve Chrono Cross when it originally came out. Maybe we still don’t.

Legend of Dragoon was amazing. Loved that game.

Chrono Cross and FFVIII are certainly very interesting gameplay experiences, but that does not instantly mean that they’re particularly good or gel together well. Having played both recently, I appreciate their ambition and like aspects of both, but each is a hot mess in a lot of ways. Chrono Cross gets by on a lot of…

All the retweets and condemning I saw on my feed were mostly women.

“...but in the meantime a lot of people have been socialized this way...”

That’s the process by which things such Systemic Racism and Sexism are born. Getting comfortable with it is exactly the wrong direction to go. 

Saying people have to actively and visibly offended for something to be of bad taste is like saying a tree doesn’t make a sound if it falls in a forest with nobody around to hear it. 

but in the meantime a lot of people have been socialized this way and enjoy that type of representation

Yes. It was brought to my attention by one woman i follow and seemingly all the other women I follow commented under it wondering what year it was.

It’s straight up sexist dude.  Seriously, this isn’t hard.  Women are people, people love playing games.  There is no reason to call out different lists.  It’s no different than ‘25 video games black people enjoy’ or ‘25 video games enjoyed by jews’.  It’s specifically categorizes that group of people as different. …

They’re trying to do the right thing by amplifying the message.

Was it actually women complaining about this?

Yes. Several streamers and cosplayers were calling it out for being astoundingly sexist.

“Sure it was mega condescending, but did you ASK women about it? Some women love being condescended to, probably! I haven’t asked them, but that sounds plausible to me!!”

There’s a right way and a wrong way to do inclusivity.

Yeah, that Kim Kardashian mobile game (which was on that list) was trending earlier because thousands of women were sarcastically saying it was their favorite game, in response to E3's tweet. They weren’t raging about it, but mostly mocking how stupid the article was.

Who is this even for? Are noted herb Jim Spanfeller and his herb gang trying to lure in intermittent visitors? What is even the point?
