No need to apologize, just try to approach the subject with a little more tact.

Oof That’s almost as bad

I mean, ignoring the fact he’s old enough to be her grandfather…

For humanity’s sake, I hope not

Lmao it’s literally just the logo and a trailer we’ve already seen

To be fair, if IGN could approach these issues with any level of tact, I'd trust Sterling and Screier to write it more. IGN is the tabloid of gaming news, incredibly difficult to take seriously

And for me it's "Okay, how badly did they firetruck up this time?"

The trouble with that is I often find pre-release material unreliable. A lot of trailers show the games most iconic moments running in optimal conditions. Then you actually play the game...and realize that those moments are all the game has going for it.

Good rule of thumb: as long it's perfectly clear that your song would not make a reasonable substitute for the original, it's legal

For me, a 7/10 means “almost a good game but not quite” A lot of games of this nature feel like they COULD have gone the extra mile but chose not to Other games (especially indie)? Sure I get it. Work with what you have. But I have minimal tolerance for triple A and above developers not making an effort.

Apparently not if they think putting dying films into the dying theater industry is a good idea

Pardon my ignorance, is this supposed to be a basketball joke?

Excellent. All the pieces are falling into place... 👏🏼

You have deciphered the pun. Well done.

I try

It means there are times when you require sensory input and this game fulfills that need Furthermore you require a very specific kind of sensory input It varies from person to person based on their neurological development, but typically the need for “stimming” is more common in neuroatypical people.

I guess tripping over the finish line is better than never making it to the finish line

I feel the same. Even Elemental was just…slightly better than I was expecting. That said, I wasn’t expecting much.

Wish almost broke me. It destroyed any final shred of optimism I had. Like…things are getting grim. If you can’t trust Disney, who can you?

For me it’s not just games, but western entertainment as a whole. It’s just gotten worse and worse for the past decade and it fills me with hatred and rage!

I’m shocked you don’t

Sadly, yes

We say as if America has any culture to speak of. The average American’s idea of “culture” is watching Shark Week every now and then to make themselves appear smart. As they click off their reality tv, set down their beer, and pretend they’re benefitting society by working at Walmart.

Honestly, I would have zero complaints if Nintendo just kept porting Ultimate indefinitely.

I mean, I'd be in full support of a turn-based Smash...but probably only me lmao
