On the one hand, we have a games-related Youtube personality openly espousing racist bullshit. On the other hand we have a games-related Youtube personality who gave a game a 7/10. One of these people has gotten folks so worked up that they're attempting to hijack their social media accounts and DDoS their website.

Olive Garden tonight! posted:Congrats! The downside is that if you ever take the shortcut you'll be woefully underequipped. Oh, absolutely. I have no illusions of the tunnels helping me get better at playing - But what they are good at is helping me go down and learn how the levels work. Instead of becoming intimately familiar with the mines and then wondering why jumping on that red plant isn't working, or why I'm not good at climbing tiki traps, instead I can go straight to the jungle and learn all of the patterns and things so I'm not wasting a good run learning things the lethal way. (First time I went into the Ice Caves I walked up to a yeti and whipped it and it picked me up and threw me across the stage into a mine, which exploded.) Now I'm actually pretty good at making it from the mines and to the jungles, and it wouldn't be possible without those shortcuts! ...also it's nice to start off in a zone that's not the mines again.

What is it about Zelda that it seems to have the most rabid superfans? I mean, I liked Link to the Past but I don't think it changed my life, and I never dug into any of the later ones

While many professional reviewers panned Batman V Superman, the movie opened to one of the largest box offices of all time, breaking several records along the way. Box office analysts are still arguing whether Batman V Superman will go down as a box office success or failure, with some pointing to the movie’s historic Friday-Sunday drop, while others point to Monday’s record setting box office as an indicator of future performance.

Neogaf has review threads for basically every AAA game and they are always hilariously full of drama. I'm pretty sure the only reason Opencritic exists is upset videogame fans.

I remember pre-GTAV release when people were getiing upset about potential low reviews as a potential reaction to the overly positive GTA4 reviews.

Call me crazy but I think Jim Sterling actually has plenty of regular-grade attention already and that he didn't need to twirl his cartoon mustache before giving the new Zelda a 7/10 score in order to reap the massive benefits of people lining up to tell him to drink bleach.

I haven't played anything but the demo so far, but I love seeing people stumble into a Platinum Game via NieR. Can't wait for the PC release.

Was Platinum involved in the writing at all? I want to set my expectations of awesomeness at the right level when I finally play the game.

I don't think so off the top of my head but it's possible, the intent of the collaboration seems to have been to let Yoko Taro handle the writing and setting aspects while Platinum handled gameplay and Squeenix handled the production end. Fwiw Wikipedia only credits Yoko Taro under writers but of course that's going to be a truncated list.

I really wanted to take a few days off for NieR. But i'm going on vacation soon and would rather leave the pto days I have left for later in the year. But i'm absolutely loving NieR so far.

Yeah I mean god forbid that he actually just found the game alright and had a couple of really big faults to pick with it, as per the other 1000+ words of the review that didn't read "7/10"

I am going to start a games review website. There will be one of five grades that games can get. Gahh. (bad) Gratifying. (fine) Good. (good.) Great. (really, really good.) Greatest. (excellent fun and a favourite!) It's going to be called 5Grade; Video Games Reviews video games. Or 5GVGRVG.net I think you'll all appreciate this different approach.

Actually no game deserves a Greatest because that would mean it has literally no flaws, the most you should ever give is a Great.5
