Thank you captain obvious for informing us of something we've known all along. More power will definitely be a selling point, but having a system be out longer doesn't mean just more exclusives, but devs have had more time to work with it. Also, 16-bit indie titles aren't going to be affected by any kind of power boost, just saying. I'm sure the Scorpio will do alright, I just don't see it outselling its competitor, which probably isn't the end of the world like man...

Is it odd that I learn more about current events through John Oliver than I do from regular newscasts? The guy tells things like they are and somehow manages to provide good humour while giving a topic the proper respect and attention it deserves. I don't binge on his stuff or anything, but I do prefer him to the regular news.

I enjoyed Knack, but I think people expected way too much from it. Because it was a launch title, I think everyone expected an awe-inspiring platformer, though that's also probably why it didn't fall into obscurity so maybe being a launch title worked both for and against it. I got exactly what I expected though: a cute diversion and something to play on my PS4 until all the heavy hitters launched.

I support a sequel that improves on the original. I'm not hur...

Um...I'm sorry, what is the author smoking? I suppose I could give him a chance to explain his point by reading the article, but...nah.

Is it just me or do the original games hold up really well all things considered? That said, I'm glad this remaster is happening.

I've actually conversed with this guy online. He's pretty cool, and quite dedicated. He once said that the streets in his country were really unsafe but he braced them if that meant he could make it to the game store. This was back when digital downloads were just starting to take off and there weren't too many full retail digital titles yet. It's good to see he's still at it. Yes, this guy literally plays everything he can on PlayStation platforms for the trophies, a...

That was indeed Claire, who we had to wait a good 14 years to see again, all because Capcom made up some BS excuse that her story arc was over while they had no problem making up a new arc for Leon. Maybe Capcom just has something against its female cast. At least we finally got a good game starring Claire, but here's hoping Jill isn't the new Claire. I can buy the older cast being placed in the background if the male cast are too...and we get a proper completion of their arc.

I very much did, but that only fills in the gap between the older titles and RE5. It doesn't explain what Jill has been up to since 5. I mean she had testing done on her afterwards but it should have been finished well before the present day.

Edit: It occurs to me you thought I was referring to just acknowledgement of Jill. I suppose she was acknowledged 5 years ago. I still want to find out what she's been up to since her last canon appearance, and I'm sic...

Ummm...what? Nintendo is not doing an E3 stage show yet again and in general seem to march to the beat of their own drum, and MS is always trying to make the industry fit them, and not vice versa. I'm not sure I want to click the link to find out how Sony is the one being singled out here as not being in sync with the current industry. Also, which console is the highest selling of all current gen consoles again? Yeah, Sony are the odd ones out. /s Edit: Ok, I see the author's sta...

Only someone involved in the mansion incident could understand huh? Please Capcom, can we finally get some acknowledgement of Jill and where she's at?

But Super Mario World is my favourite Mario title...on the other hand Galaxy is my second favourite, and the point of this article is clearly to foster some kind of Emma Watson fanboyism rather than promoting any serious videogame related discussion so, meh...

I'm not clicking the link for a clearly sensationalist article. Andromeda is not all about women, nor does it make any feminist inference. It happens to have a lot of strong, capable female characters, and I don't see a problem with that. Anyone who thinks that makes the game SJW is an idiot and should be treated as such. There might be grounds to say the game is a bit SJW in its plot and references to racial relations, but eh...

If anything, the fairer sex shou...

Yeah, I've had difficulty figuring that out myself. I think it probably comes down to it being objectively the worst Mass Effect game though, and the insanely high bar set by its predecessors due to how awesome they were, coupled with the fact that it's on newer systems and if anything we expect more from a Mass Effect on better hardware, not less. I think ME:A is still great, but it's subpar as a ME title, and subpar and ME should never be used in the same sentence, yet here we...

Yeah, the best E3 presentation is exclusively a Sony vs MS thing as Ninty just ops for a Nintendo Direct, which isn't a true E3 presentation. However, they can possibly still win for best show floor presentation and best game announcements...they just have steep competition in those categories. I respect Ninty to a degree for marching to the beat of their own drum, but they also make it painfully obvious that they aren't as in tune with the modern game industry as their competitors ...

Lol. It's just a marketing ploy as from Nintendo's standpoint it really doesn't matter how much Switch you do or do not play. What does matter is getting Switch owners to buy as much software and accessories as possible, and getting players hooked on the system is a method of achieving just that. Granted, this is also the company that makes its first party games tell you to take a break after only an hour of gaming like they're your mother, so I wouldn't read too much i...

Worry not, I already maxed out her confidant (social link), and we had a great time on the beach in Waikiki. Also, Persona games allow for you to date multiple women with no consequences...except in Persona 4 Golden which added some scenes to make you feel like a douche. I'm not far enough in to verify if Persona 5 has that feature, but I imagine it does. So, maybe I ought to just stick with dating Ann and friend zoning the others.

I think poor word choice could lead...

The power advantage won't be enough because all the power in the world is meaningless without games.

Maybe it's because no one would play a game where the chosen love interest would reject the player for reasons other than sufficient character stats. Not every game needs to be built on 100% realism. Having some degree of fantasy is what makes games a great escape from reality. I mean, not only could I probably not score a girl like Ann in real life, but I'm slowly getting over a rough breakup, so I'm glad my character in Persona 5 is doing alright. On the other hand, this gam...

I don't normally respond to comments, as I'm technically not supposed to, but if it's not about the article then I think it's ok. Anyways, you'd love this retro gaming shop I went to in Akihabara. It had everything. Also, NA got the short end of the stick in regards to Nintendo games and consoles as the Famicom and Super Famicom are neat looking systems and they have neat multi-coloured carts that vary from game to game. I saw a copy of Mother 2 (Earthbound), a collect...

Well, I only got partway into Persona Q and it's in my backlog along with Dancing All Night. Honestly, it sounds doubtful that every last one of those registered domains will become an actual game, but I'd love to get a spinoff of some sort for Persona 5. Heck, a Vita port would be nice too. Having new games set in the Persona universe can only be good news. I beat both Arena games so a new Persona fighter would be great.
