So an interesting concept with flaws... Sounds like a prime candidate for a Larian styled De-buggering edition.

Subnautoobadica.

"Console" is only slightly more specific than "vehicle" - a comparison at such a high altitude overview that the observer needs an oxygen mask and parachute. You can call what Nintendo does "innovative" or "gimmicky" but if you have to acknowledge that they're being different - even "well...

There is some minor "reloading" in the weapon cooldown sense (the super shotgun for instance), but no, you don't have to exchange clips/belts/cells every x shots.

Eh, I dunno. I think the "collect all the gems to stop the unfathomable evil" was more Final Fantasy-esque. Early Final Fantasy. I haven't gotten past the intro in anything higher than 6.

Mmm... give me Majora's Mask wrapped in Twilight Princess+ level graphics with the smooth buttery combat system of Wind Waker and I'll be contented forever more. Only thing better would be if they did an extended cut or the like.

"If EA Pulled the shit..." I don't think anyone would notice. Pulling shit for EA is par for the course - they're like some sort of hybrid shit-taffy machine. I'd call them the Golden Goose of content for the likes of Mr. Sterling, but in their case it's more like a golden goose of such...

Eh, a plug against high brow film snobbery is always okay in my book. It does kind of underline the fact that, while the term is relatively new, the concept of "hipster" is much older if not timeless than its usage would imply. Ultimately, to maintain relevance, a critic has to engage in what...

I have to wonder where a lot of this originates - yes, it's in the end the entire company, but who's really to blame here? Executives? Marketing? Development? I can almost see perhaps companies being so large and ponderous that the "guys, we've been voted the North Korea of companies for the...

I reacted to the announcement with a flabbergasted laugh, not out of hostility, but out of targeted nostalgia and sheer disbelief. I mean, the notion, a -gritty- (that was the exact term used) Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers reboot? I'd expect that to come out of a Cracked Photoplasty, not a legit...

Yeah... the Pandaren = Kung Fu Panda joke? That was such a low hanging fruit that it doesn't even qualify as fruit - it's more like a potato, the kind that's plagued with fungus and prompts the mass exodus of Ireland to the opposite hemisphere. It doesn't matter so much that it was entirely...

... So basically Jim is telling me that if I ever go to a con, it should be dressed as Mario from Mario Sunshine, but instead of a water tank, I should bring weaponized Purell.

$5 for a skin? ... That's what, less than .5% of the total game assets? With a purchase price of $60, those skins should go for a few cents given how much they're actually supplying you in relation to what you've already paid for, never mind a full fledged dollar, never mind fucking five of...

... Batman, Superman, Afleck, whatever. After this accent laden episode, I want to hear Movie Bob do an episode on Cartoon Network's Chowder. And yes, I am a terrible, terrible human being.

Eh, while it may turn some off to the idea, hard core Elder Scrolls fans will jump on this like Mario at a goomba fest no matter what payment model they have. After Skyrim, that number's gonna be massive either way. Like most, I'm just leary of what the MMO genre will do to this series - can...
