Not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe he felt down about the layoffs and wanted to sit down, take in and appreciate a solid game that a MS studio created and that he helped shepherd despite all the turmoil at Xbox. I’m just playing devil’s advocate though. Most likely his spoiled rich kids were...

I mean, the casualties today are the direct result of of Microsoft absorbing that giant entity and instantly being unable to manage the costs and its assets. Activision Blizzard was and is so massive that it dwarfed the size of the rest of Microsoft’s Gaming division. What we’ve been witnessing...

Mergers and acquisitions are always always always bad, especially in the gaming industry. Please someone tell me one example where it turned out good. I am genuinely asking.

That’s strange, I never once died in the game unintentionally and I played it on normal. And I’m not some elite twitchy gamer or whatever. Of course there are parts in the game where you have to die in order to progress. Maybe that’s what you mean, and it’s not so much about getting better and...

Oh wow, great game is an understatement. Yeah, buy and play Nier Automata. At the risk of continuing to sound like a pretentious gaming hipster, I envy anyone being able to go into it blind and experiencing it for the first time. It will gently blow your mind like few games do these days. The...

Also Fantasian Neo Dimension is at a new low at 32.99. Supposed to be very very good but it will go lower than that so unfortunately I continue to wait. Square Enix has genuinely released some absolute bangers over the past decade in between destroying the Final Fantasy brand and turning the...

If you like tactical jrpgs and Final Fantasy Tactics in particular, then yes very much worth it. I dunno why Square Enix didn’t just call it Final Fantasy Tactics 4 or something because that’s basically what it is. Gameplay is 100% pure FFT goodness. You also get to make a lot of important...

The humble subreddit collectively convinced themselves for some reason that Robocop Rogue City would be the headliner this month, so hence the disappointment. Redditors are a strange breed of human.

Welp already offloaded it but I appreciate the tip. I just know whenever I see “souls-like” used to describe a game that I end up hating it. I just don’t like a subgenre that fundamentally doesn’t respect my time and expects me to treat a game like a part-time job in order to git good or...

Sold

Really good bundle for local co-op gamers (Cat Quest, Blanc, even that farming game that I’ve never heard of but it looks charming enough). And Rogue Trader on top of that. Yeah, one of the best months in a while for me. I had Death’s Door wishlisted but I’m noticing “souls-like” being...

You are so oddly defensive about this game. It’s like you think ppl are insulting Nintendo’s honor or something just by criticizing this major departure from the Mario Kart formula. Just a glance at the mario kart subreddits or listening to some competitive MK players will show you that it’s not...

I’ve liked reading your MKW impressions here so far and this one too gives me hope. I will say though, there are opinions everywhere about the “intermission” sections between tracks that are a lot harsher than yours. There are just 32 tracks in the game, but they don’t even make up a majority of...
