Licensing definitely comes into the equation. This has been confirmed multiple times by the people involved. For example:

For a while though it seems like more devs did try. The 90s and early 00s were littered with platformers. We got names like Sonic, Crash, Banjo Kazooie, Spyro, Rayman, Bonk, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank… and a whole bunch of one offs. And some were actually pretty good.  A few are still around…

I need more of these games.  Mario is great, but at some point you still get tired of Mario this and Mario that.

Cool.  Thanks.

So what is with the lack of mouths in Vokabulantis? I can’t listen to the videos currently so I don’t know if that was explained in in the video.  But that kind of weirds me out.

I don’t think is all that greedy. It’s just annoyingly convoluted.

I’ve been wondering for a while if they will eventually strike a deal with Nintendo to have a Game Pass app on the Switch or whatever their current system happens to be. It seems to be a good fit in terms of hardware. Nintendo’s lower spec approach would be fine for this kind of app. It might cannibalize XBox…

So what is the new information? That it may have been an inside job?

Tiny Tina is an effusive—either irritatingly or charmingly so, depending on who you ask—foul-mouthed child who first showed up in 2012’s Borderlands 2

I made this mistake just a few weeks ago. I put off cleaning my gas grill too long and had a grease fire while trying to cook some burgers. Biggest fire I’ve had in my grill. I was able to get the food off and and then close the grill. I also had to quickly wheel it further away from the house. The temp gauge on…

Sure, but how many of those “good cops” back or turn a blind eye to the bad ones?  That is the basis behind ACAB.

No one is looking there.  

The fact he’s doubling down shows he WON’T learn. Especially if people such as yourself write it off as “boys will be boys.”

It’s a fair critique. He clearly says that was is there is great and very enjoyable. He just thinks they could have been more creative with rift mechanic. Which given it is in the name and front and center in the advertising it really seems like it should have been used my creatively. I mean, come on, dimensional…

Mayweather did not score a knockout or even come close.

Yes, I mentioned that in my first post. But, again, the gist of the article is nothing much will happen with this E3. I’m just saying I think that the launch of a new system is inherently big news. You disagree which is fine, but I disagree with both you and the article.

Sure because we only know the rumors. But it seems odd to write an article about not expecting much from E3 and then basically ignore what would actually be a pretty big announcement.

Nothing you just said really makes any sense. Where do you get that they are ads?? Their purpose is to give you a numerical representation of how much the reviewer liked a product. Aggregates give you a general representation of how a group of people feel about something. In this case usually professional…

If there is a new Switch either just before or during E3 I think that will be pretty big news even if not completely surprising, But you guys give it a single almost off-hand mention like it doesn’t matter.

They don’t have to be in agreement. It happens all the time on Rotten Tomatoes. Sometimes the average user just finds something entertaining even if it’s not a critical darling. I find both scores generally useful.
