I honestly never understood this. Making a TV show is a lot of effort and I'm assuming scripts have drafts written and re-written multiple times. On set, there are going to be dozens of people at least. Getting video games "right" is such a trivial matter. It's not like you need a FOIA request...

It pretty much is the same thing. It's just that a once-dominant brand name was used so much that people use it as a generic name. To some people who don't know much about it (mainly older people since it hasn't really been dominant as a brand in a long time), "Nintendo" is interchangeable with...

Cool, this just makes EA even easier to ignore. Honestly, as long as there are other single player games being made, I'm not going to be too upset that some mediocre AAA publisher who have barely made anything particularly interesting in several years isn't doing it. If EA wants to corner the...

Nope, but that would probably still not be as bad as the Zach Snyder shitheap. At this point, I think DC should just cut their losses instead of trying to throw good movies after bad. Go make some more standalone films or series like the Dark Knight trilogy, or even, in all honesty, Wonder...

To me, it has nothing to do with the quality of the games. Maybe it used to at one point, but I've been following gaming as an industry since about 2005 and at least that far back, it wasn't referencing quality. It also certainly doesn't refer to making money in crappy ways with stuff like...

The one thing really putting me off this game is the fact that the gameplay footage I have seen of it shows the player's gun as being frustratingly weak. After playing Nier Automata I've kind of gotten tired of the idea of having to hold a shoot button for hours while it does infinitesimal...

Not many. I usually don't like dumping on things other people just happen to like, it always strikes me as kind of pretentious and stuck up. However, there are 3 games that stuck out to me as being much less enjoyable or engaging than I expected based on their very high levels of critical praise...

I was under the impression that it was the other way around. That it's from a major studio but it didn't have the budget of a normal AAA game and therefore doesn't have the same level of original content, so it's a smaller experience than something like Zelda or Halo. It's even got a $30 price...

It's never acceptable for an adult to wear pyjamas in public, or at least no more public than the front of your own house or apartment. If it's in your own home, then up to mid-day (although I would tend to judge someone who has slept in that late, personally). If the people seeing you are...

Mario Odyssey is the only one I saw that looked like a surefire win and a must-buy. Spooderman looked crap, no interest in it unless the final game is quite different from the hand-holding gameplay demo shown. God of War has my interest. I'm a little skeptical about melee combat with lots...

Maybe a little bit, but they don't have the same kind of control over the market Apple has. Apple would be the ones to say "you don't want voice chat" and then suddenly millions of people decide they don't want voice chat any more. Nintendo have been forced by the market to include voice chat...

You can think it's pathetic all you want, I'm sure their hundreds of billions in cash and status as one of the top 10 most valuable companies in the world will influence them more than someone's perception. Nintendo is nowhere near the kind of business empire that Sony is. Sony has it's hand...

Nintendo aren't alone in this. Apple has had the exact same philosophy ever since Steve Jobs became CEO again. iPhones, iPads, Macbooks and iPods are not the kind of things you see on sale very often Tesla also have a similar policy in that Musk places a lot of weight on the idea that everyone...

Maybe if you're a big fan of fighting games or the previous Killer Instinct, but it's definitely a lot more niche than a new Zelda game, as exemplified by the very fact that they were able to give it away for free.

The fact that there is one game worth playing at launch means it had the strongest launch lineup of any console in years. Switch has one more must-play launch game than the PS4, Xbox One, PS3 or Xbox 360.
