Yes it’s the wording. There should be an emphasis to do this only if you bought the game. That is what is missing.

As far as companies trying to make “media shifting” illegal and talking as if people who bought games many times over the years are dirty little criminals for emulating the games they paid for several…

He actually puts a lot of thoughts on which songs to use and where as well. I admit only a few have reasons obvious to the audience as to why he would pick them for the scenes he uses them in, but he does put a lot of thought into it.

So I think how well the song usage is in this game depends heavily not on how obscure…

It’s fascinating how quickly it reveals someone only read the title.  I'm not saying I've never been guilty of it myself, but it gives a major case of foot in mouth.

This is a positive review...

The challenge for developers is to change things in ways fans don't think they want but end up enjoyable.  I'm not saying there's anything wrong with familiarity, but how much to risk changes or how much to do more of the same must be an incredible challenge.

I haven't done that in a long time and you make me want to. I've taken to gratuitously mixing in a bag of sharp cheddar as of late.

As someone who hasn’t played this series more than a few minutes, this article does well explaining the appeal for its fans. I might even check it out if I didn’t already have so many games to play. It’s an interesting contrast to the other recent article more critical of the formula, and both are good examples of why…

I’m not saying inaction or moderation opacity should be hand waved, but throwing money at a difficult problem can’t magically fix it. With tough automated moderation comes false positives. With more directed automation comes what looks like favoritism from the outside.

That “minus 999k” is golden.  It's nice to have some humor when bigots are pushing to make Africa and other places even more bigoted and viscous than they already are.

“Stealing?” Do you think every kart racer is “stealing” too? Are all ‘90s FPS games “stealing” from Wolfenstein 3D and Doom? Is every FPS with regenerating health “stealing” from Halo? (Random aside, at least it makes sense in Halo since it’s shields.)

I’m a fan of open world so I’ll be annoyed if the genre gets gutted because it’s trendy to hate on it. No one forces anyone to chase all of those icons. Not every game should be like that of course and I think it an interesting discussion. It just reminds me of the incessant clamoring some critics have about shows…

I think the cringe is the point to begin with.

The best thing about junk like this is they will be called bending over backwards to appease the theocratic elements of the right by people like me who saw the theocrats wield terrifying power while growing up and from the right they will be called SJW. In the end, everyone gets mad at them. And of those who don’t…

From my view it’s irrelevant if they are taking (not “stealing”) viewers from other streamers. Making an argument over it legitimizes the misogynistic and/or puritanical complaints. I have no interest in those streams, but if poor languishing streamers complain about them “using” thier looks that’s just too bad. They…

I was missing her articles and figured my intermittent checking of the site was badly timed so I finally outright searched.  I wish I'd have seen this when it was current.  I hope everything goes as well as possible.

It’s probably been over 15 years since I remembered that was a thing.  Yikes.  The SP was a vast improvement.

No joke, Monkey Target basically is that game to my memory.  The main game itself is like a side thing vs. the hours of Monkey Target with my friend.

Yeah I have the PS5 and not XSX but only due to the games. Microsoft has just plain been a better company for gamers lately. That disastrous Xbox One reveal did them wonders.

What do you mean not everyone lives in the city, suburbs, or select rural areas with lightning fast broadband? Simple mistake. (Sarcasm of course.)

By that definition there’s no point to any good writing because the characters aren’t real. Snake clearly isn’t ogling her anyway.
