I know a guy who gets really pissed off when the genre is described as a "Metroidvania". He tends to use that term for Castlevania games of that style. He uses "Metroid-like" for the genre. I kinda hope that catches on.

This is all well and good, but what about Sam & Max Season 4? If they're not going to do anything with that franchise, they might as well just drop it and let someone else do something with them.

I don't understand why people are still angry at Sega about this. I mean, they're already agreeing to pay out on the lawsuit. Gearbox is the only party in this controversy that's acting like a bunch of assholes at this point.

Well, so much for putting gameplay ahead of cinematic-style games.

I'd honestly rather see a game starring Zelda than one with a gender-flipped Link. Seems like it would have a different set of mechanics and by extension, it could be a more interesting game. I'm not really hostile to the idea of making Link a girl, per se. It just seems a bit boring...

I think I'll pass. It looks like your basic pretentious art game.

I didn't care for Arc System Works fighters until they released the original Blazblue.

I, for one, can't wait to see the next Big Picture: "Anita Sarkeesian: Greatest Hero in American Herstory or World Herstory?"

I'm kind of disgusted to hear that my own university would pay that con artist any amount of money to spew her ill-conceived bile about video games. Not surprised, just disgusted.

It doesn't matter the game looks terrible anyway. They ripped all of the defining traits of a Dead Rising game out of 3 and turned it into a dudebro GTA clone with tactical nukes. To think I believed in Capcom Vancouver.

I hope this guy's telling the truth. I was never into the Resident Evil games, so seeing them get the lion's share of resources since the mid-to-late '90s has been exhausting. I am looking forward to Remember Me though, even if it seems like no one else is.
