I think Datto’s rage-y take was pretty much spot on.

For all its in-game improvements, the out-of-game onboarding experience for players in D2 is still disastrously bad, and only getting worse. If this was a value-add to something like the Legacy Collection, it would be a great idea. But as a standalone, overpriced,…

I think he meant it’s an uncanny valley in relation to the original look, not in relation to realistic humanoids.

A bit of a stretch of the definition, but I got what he meant.

I’m a white man who has benefited greatly from my privilege over the years (even if I haven’t always been aware of it) so I know my voice probably shouldn’t be the loudest on this issue, but my god even I’m sick of how many talentless white men have infested this industry I love.

umm, weird that its framed as not too difficult. the main line is very chill, but all the special worlds are obscene. At least one so far took me probably 40-50 lives? And i havent gotten to it yet, but ive heard the finale special stage is just insanely difficult. Did you play the 5 star difficulty courses?

This is…

All right, here comes the gamer discourse about female video game character faces...

A good and expected result.  Now can we never talk about them again?

won’t release any of their titles outside their platform

Holy shit, just when I thought I couldn’t dislike Phil Spencer any more.

Dude’s idea of success is ‘buy all the competition’ rather than, you know, actually investing in his own developers to make better games.  Sure buddy, try to buy the company that has consistently trounced the shit out of you in console sales…

They wouldn’t. It’s a guy spouting off a pipe dream. 

Nintendo consistently trounces Microsoft though.  Why would Nintendo want to be swallowed by smaller fish (by market share - clearly I realize Microsoft is larger than Nintendo overall)?

Yeah this article is an absolutely insane take. most of these were announced in June and were certainly more than 2 months into development. And even though the 2 announced today are remakes, I still very much doubt they’re only 4 months into development.

While i get the excitement there is no way the success of the movie has to do with all the mario games. These were well into development long before April because thats how game development works.

Joy Cons are already fixed free and permanently world wide.
All you have to do is contact your local Nintendo Service.

I mean, the local map is clearly an afterthought, as you already mentioned, use your scanner. They want you to use the scanner when in towns or on the ground, that’s the point, local maps are a bit pointless, the scanner shows everything you’d need to see in-game, no menu nonsense, which is great because the menus can…

Bragging? No. I didn’t say it to boast. I simply stated I did it because why should someone who does something that is morally and legally responsible have to hide it, while crimes are elevated to meme and legend status? I was raised on “if you see something, say something.”

Not sure what you’re trying to say, son.

Why does your list include the DS but not other handhelds?  Where’s the NES?  There’s no pattern here, you’re just trying to force one.

in fairness, the normal accessories are pretty unremarkable, lol.
