I feel Nintendo would have deserved that during the GameCube days or maybe even early Wii, but I don't think it holds as much weight today. If you ignore the tent-poles like Breath of the Wild or Super Mario Odyssey, the only thing that really stands out to me is Arms. Mario Kart 8 is the latest a series that hasn't changed much in years, Splatoon 2 is a sequel that doesn't change hardly anything from its predecessor, and the new Yoshi and Kirby titles look so familiar I wasn'...

This video is dishonest and intentionally manipulates facts to serve its core thesis. Implying Horizon, Spider-Man, and The Last of Us all look the same is laughable.

I wouldn't say it's bad. I just think the game should support more strategies than one killer one.

I remember playing Magic as a kid and then trying to play with the internet around more recently. There's no natural discovery. You just find out the best possible decks and then execute those well. Sometimes that's how OW feels. Why try to do something new if somebody's already basically objectively proven something else is the most effective?

Yeah, Kaplan and his crew are smart cookies. I just think they need to keep in mind that they could lose players whether they're right or wrong about the meta changing / not changing, and they should be aware of that.

I've been loving these articles lately. When XII came out, I felt like the only person that liked it, and I couldn't see why it wasn't connecting with more people. I'm glad it's finally getting the credit it deserves (though I think the changes made actually address the biggest problems for many people, and legitimately improve the overall product).

@rainslacker your point is demonstrably false.

"Getting Sony to open up its online services to Xbox and Nintendo customers may be an insurmountable obstacle for Yoshida and Square Enix, however. Sony has previously opted not to support cross-platform online player for Rocket League and, more recently, Minecraft ... During E3 2017, Nintendo and Microsoft announced that Rocket League and Minecraft would be cross-play compatible between Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC p...

It is monthly. You don't have to set up recurring subs, though. The base game is $20 right now, and comes with the first month. After that, you can buy another month for $15. For as much as you'll be able to get out of it, and with as much content as they add, it's not a bad deal. But if you aren't willing to pay any sort of subscription, there's no way around it.

There was just a news story about this. The developers only want to put it on Xbox if it's cross-play across all platforms, and Sony isn't allowing that to happen. So unless Sony can be coerced into allowing Xbox and PS4 players to play alongside each other, it doesn't sound like it can / will happen.

Yeah, that was my biggest worry. I'm not one to skip content, so being told "the game gets better after the first hundred hours" is an insane barrier. That's as much time as I put into FFXV to Platinum it. But I wanted to write this because, after 40 hours, if this is the worst the game has to offer, I think it's worth people's attention.

MMOs are different. They change so much to keep up with the end-game, but it tends to trivialize the early game for new players. FFXIV doesn't fall into that trap.

One of the most frustrating things to me is near-impossible / unfair trophies. I don't want to be dramatic, but it ruins some of the fun of the game for me if I know it's virtually impossible to plat it.

No worries.

Yeah, Square is kind of infuriating like that. For forever, I just wanted the PS1 FFs remade with new assets and higher resolution, They finally move their feet, and now it's a full-blown new game coming out in five years. It's like, I don't think I'm asking too much for the same game with a prettier coat of paint, but whatever.

I meant it as a good thing. Because I clicked it thinking it would be negative, and it wasn't. Don't be offended.

This editor's clickbait game is on-point.

I hope they give FFIX the love it deserves someday and give it a nice simple remake. I don't want them to "remake" it, but I want them to Crash Bandicoot remake it.

That's frustrating. There wasn't a ghost of a chance I'd plat this game, but I like to have the option available to me. Hopefully NR will address this, but I won't hold my breath.

You're doing God's work.

That's not inaccurate.

Yeah, especially the Rocket Punch looks very Reinhardt-like. He's more disruptive than most offense characters.

It's a tough question to answer. I put probably 60 hours into it before I finally just decided enough was enough. If you value your games on the amount of time they distracted you, that's probably a good deal. But I didn't particularly enjoy most of my time in the game, and the time I did enjoy felt bittersweet, because it just underscored the stuff the game fails at. It's not hard to play -- there's stuff to do and it's mostly inoffensive -- but I always felt like I c...

Save your $30. You'll regret the time and money spent with this game. It's a time-consuming, hollow experience.
