I mean if I wanted a janky game set in space i'd just play X3, which is also like only ten dollars.

Oh christ that's a thing? I've definitely felt it would be great if I could just run over items and not have to break my sprint. But to be honest that really should be an in-game feature!

You can buy it from P&D's shop in route C. Or at the end if A/B? I don't remember when that store opens.

Wait, does this mean Dark Souls is buddhist?

Also thanks for the write-up, I guess I'll pass on the game for the time being.

You could make a very strong argument for a Buddhist interpretation of Dark Souls, I think.

Looks like they're trying to fix Mass Effect? I don't see anything about making people look less like frogs, though. Also just lol at the fact that EA/bioware keeps dropping male-on-male romance from all their games at the last minute and then adding them back in later. We just didn't have time, guys, it's got nothing to do with how we prioritize things in the design process.

You can't fix what's wrong with that game with a patch, full stop.

They've burned so much money on P5 and it's coming out so late that this is a business move to prevent "copies lost to lets plays"

Living in the East Coast gives you an extra reason to hate people who live on the West Coast, since when they bitch about heat it's always preferable to what we have. I would rather have a 110° dry heat day than a 85° day at 80% humidity.

it wasn't really THAT long ago that Borderlands 2 was a legit GOTY contender despite its moronic writing, but hoo boy it has been a long long way down from Colonial Marines to Battleborn to Bulletstorm "redux"

Under no circumstances would I ever consider borderlands one or two to be anywhere near goty. Borderlands is loving boring.

I feel this. I think part of it is how restrained by technology the game; between the limited view distance (with its enticingly vague fog) and the wobbly textures it feels like the game itself is ready to fall apart at the seams. It's such a cool game

Where do you fall w/r/t 3 (I think it's the best one)

The current one is bad because of them trying to have everything at once with the split in consoles with noticible differences and still forcing people to make games that will run on both.

Grapplejack
Nov 27, 2007

The most likely answer is that Nintendo is getting ready to roll out their Virtual Console, and continued NES Classic sales will cut into that market.

No, that doesn't make any sense, you're right, but that's Nintendo baybee

I like that Taro said that Nier Automata was not going to be depressing but in the end, once you go through everything it's a game entirely about meaningless cycles being endlessly repeated for making the things of the world feel like they have a purpose, even if they actually don't and all was lost literally thousands of years ago

The game itself is still very positive in its message, I think.

The game does a few really nice callbacks though, and it helps deepen the experience a bit if you played or know about a couple of the things that happen in 1.

I feel bad about nier because it affected me in a really heavy way to the point where I've got it up in goat status but I know not everyone experiences games the same way.
I got burned by telling my SO about the Witcher 3 and they hated it, so I try not to hype up games when I recommend them because of that.

hbomber is good because he makes videos about how poo poo racist YouTubers are instead of making vids that just go "Yeah but COMEDY" or blaming newspapers or whatever.

A long running gag when he first started out was that he was secretly a Nazi. He's taken those videos down at this point, but all of his callout poo poo rings hollow because of that.

Losing gaming friends / internet friends is always a terrible thing, since a lot of the times you just never know. They just sign off one day and... That's it. :( We've all had friends just leave. Most of the time we hope they just got really into real life, but...
