Leah. I’m going to run a distinguished berry farm and winery while she makes wonderful artesian driftwood carvings. It’s gonna own. Read more

I address that in the piece: Read more

Whenever I see this analysis of the situation, it always feels like people are saying “I don’t care, so long as it doesn’t have an effect on me.” Read more

I think the games industry and early magazine journalism ala Nintendo Power has done a lot to perpetuate the myth that brand loyalty and consumption is unimpeachably good. That purchasing games and supporting companies is the best thing you can do. Read more

Aztec low grav dualies was a favorite. We also used to do dust2 where everyone had aimbots and walls. It was stupid and I miss it. Thanks, VAC. Read more

OG Dust is still better. Don’t @ me. Read more

I’ve been streaming the Steam version of both and while Binary Domain is stable, I can’t recommend grabbing the PC port of Deadly Premonition. It’s got a pretty big memory leal problem. It’s also the director’s cut and I’m finding that some of the fixes, like the changes to movement, actually rob the game of some of… Read more

I have no clue why you assume I haven’t played these games before now except for the fact that you’re desperate to find something to dunk on. Read more

I did but the PS2 game I got obsessed with was Zeonic Front. In general, I like stuff that really shows off mobile suits as comparable to tanks. Big, awesome rigs that you need to manage, command, and repair. Zeonic Front is basically Rainbow Six but you’re on the wrong side of a war and everything is going to shit.… Read more

It’s so good! Seriously, Cyclops Team had a ton of good mechs. Read more

My immediate thoughts as, apparently, not a fan: Read more

The progression definitely will appeal to the meticulous among us. The combat is still awesome too. You’ll definitely have a good time. :) Read more

SimpleFlips is behind going into Bowser In The Sky. The YouTubers are at Bowser before he’s even in the pipe. They choke and he pulls through. Given the context, I would call that close. Read more

It’s tied to your points. Say you want a tank or a bomber; after you’ve got enough points from defeating enemies or playing the objective, you can choose from a bunch of different special characters or vehicles for your next spawn. Read more

Part of me’s made my peace with that, yeah. I play plenty of gacha games on my phone. But star cards have always been a bit silly and slapping a crate system on them feels pretty crummy. I like a lot of the changes in this beta but that’s the one thing that really rubbed me the wrong way. Read more

It’s all three eras. The beta has modes that show off all three. I thought I’d be all about the classic stuff but the sequel era designs are really nice. Read more

It helps build your super meter, among other things. It’s also just a good way to avoid damage and buy yourself some time. Read more

You don’t talk with that language in our chat. AIDS and cancer don’t exist as words you use to dunk on Capcom. Even if fight money is garbage. Read more

Regular. Easy modes are shortcuts I don’t really think you should take while reviewing. Playing the default always helps get in idea of the developers’ baseline experience. Read more
