I firmly believe people should stop using the “it’s just cosmetic” argument to excuse anti-consumer business decisions, since all that does is normalize things to enable them to get worse if Overwatch -> Battlefront 2 was any indication. The “it’s just cosmetic” thing only goes so far since you know eventually…

I got the collectors edition last week. It’s alright but feels like a missed opportunity. The increased options for subclasses is nice but a large number of them don’t really back up the flavor with mechanics that sell it well. I think the biggest problem is that subclasses are a really small design space, you only…

I’m pretty sure that realizing that a good chunk of people whom society loves are actually pretty flawed(or grotesque) is a step in becoming realistically aware that the world we live in was always trash, haha

Aesthetics are part of the video game experience and absolutely contribute to ones enjoyment of a game. Overwatch could be mechanically identical with no textures but it wouldn’t be near the success it is today.

It actually isn’t all violence against women by men in the game just FYI. You can choose to be a female, male, or “futa” main character and that can even change during the game with magic/potions, and a lot of the “slaves” can be any of those 3 as well.

The market for the inverse- that is, porn games where you treat the girls nicely and build up things in a loving way- must be mighty shallow. That is a game I would play, but being loving doesn’t seem to sell.

Thank you for writing this.

Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp has been testing things out in Australia for a little while now, but the game now has an official worldwide release date: November 22 (which is this Wednesday!).

Personal limitations.

Seriously. I know a lot of those are B- and C-tier indies, but it’s still great to see the eShop thriving.

Because people can only care about or advance one cause at a time. And of course, video gaming is the only pastime in existence that people get passionate about. No other hobbyists complain about or critique trends in their hobbies, ever. Oh, and it’s definitely not hypocritical to tell us to stop playing if we don’t…

I’m conflicted. On the one hand, loot boxes like BF2's are a predatory affair. On the other, I also paid full price for Overwatch and it tries to sell me stuff as well.

Yet again it’s women being blamed for guys thirstiness, guys will stare at boobs all day, even if it’s just girls walking around in bog standard t-shirts.

Actually I posted the wrong one, the most I’ve managed is 25 Goombas xD.

That awesome moment someone on a video game blog is a better investigative journalist this half the media in the nation. Anyway, I believe he is lying(it’s obvious) but I don’t say that to be mean to him. I wonder what was his reason for doing something like this? It seems very strange. I hope this gets an update.

I love HZD, but claim it does “everything Zelda does” is ridiculous. I’m just going to assume you haven’t played Zelda at all because the statement is just plain ignorant.

Damn, you must have had a shitty year if that’s all you think deserves being on a nomination list.

In her Twitter post Kallie also mentioned that she was informed she would be terminated if “it happened again.” That is some next level disgusting response to a very serious claim.
