Nothing makes me lose faith in gaming fandom more than seeing another cheap EA Sports half-assed job sit atop the sales chart. I actually like good sports games, EA haven't been good for over a decade.

I don't consider paying full price for a Sonic game lucky. Maybe I'll look into it in a few months when it goes on sale. No Sonic game has ever been worth the MSRP, IMO.
Soapbox feels like it has generated a high percentage of the dumbest 'articles' this website has ever produced. Maybe make sure a piece is worth publishing, first.
I'm not really nostalgic for Blockbuster, my main memory of them is when they drove all the independent video stores out of business in my hometown. Those were the rental stores I grew up with.
@MK_Ultra Just spend some time killing bokoblin Zoanite mining stations underground. I spent a couple hours down there and picked up over 100 from crates around them.
@Axecon 1.1.1. I turned off auto updates day one on my Switch in 2017. I never like anything updating without my knowledge. I do the same with my phone and tablet.
@Ryu_Niiyama Nintendo never could have made a series out of Doki Doki Panic, and it would have remained obscure and never been released in the west without Mario, because Fuji TV owned the characters, and it was made as a cross-promotion for them.
@Zisssou Yes, mocking Nintendo for their weak attempt to get people to update their software is childish./s
The complaints here aren't from people who want something better. They're from people who don't want to give up something as useful as the dupe glitches for figurative in-game pennies they could easily find for themselves just playing the game.
@Ryu_Niiyama If someone likes his stuff, fine, it's just, he's got like maybe 4 faces he can draw, and maybe 6-8 character trait designs he can mix and match. I admit, I don't care for DBZ, but this issue is prevalent in everything he does. I honestly think if Dragon Quest wasn't so popular in Japan, he wouldn't be so venerated.
@calbeau No, it's the equivalent of someone offering you a nickel, but you'll only get it if you give up $1,000,000. The dupe glitch is invaluably useful. I can get a free version of their 'gift' anytime I want in the game.
@calbeau These 'giveaways', which aren't very good and easily acquired in game, are a weak attempt to get people to update their copies of the game to eliminate the dupe glitches.
@ear_wig RDR2 had it's moments, but I really feel Rockstar spent too much time worrying about realism instead of just delivering a fun game. The first one is just more fun.

People actually care about this game?
Re: Sega Appears To Be Teasing A Game Awards Surprise
Sega's announcements are never as big as they're hyped up to be. Prepare to be underwhelmed.
Re: The First Review For Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince Is In
@Solomon_Rambling It's not baffling. Famitsu's ratings are worthless.

When will Capcom port the Disney Afternoon Collection?
Re: Talking Point: So, Who Could Play Link, Zelda, Ganondorf In The Upcoming Zelda Movie?
Idris Elba would be PHENOMENAL as Ganondorf. The rest, eh. I'd prefer unknowns as Zelda and Link. The supporting cast should be bigger names.

Re: Sega's First Super Game Making Steady Progress, Still Targeting 2026 Release
@VoidofLight Sega's reach has always exceeded it's grasp, even at it's peak. It is very much the reason it failed as a console manufacturer.
Re: Random: Sakurai Reckons Both Mario Wonder And Spider-Man 2 Are Masterpieces
@Snatcher When the opinion actively puts down and dismisses other opinions out of hand, then yes.
Re: Poll: What's Your Switch Controller Of Choice For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
8bitdo Pro 2. Best controller I've ever had.
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Timeline Placement Of Sonic Superstars
@LEGEND_MARIOID There already is a Sonic 4, even if people hate it.
Re: Takashi Iizuka Explains Timeline Placement Of Sonic Superstars
The fact that Sonic has an official timeline is yet another reason why Mario games will always be better.

@Everythingnotsaved And yet, you complaining about people talking about it came first. And you wonder why people find blind defenders obnoxious.

Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Update Now Live (Version 1.2.1), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Baler calling one 'inspired' while another 'copying' shows your bias. Get out with this baloney.
Re: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Update Now Live (Version 1.2.1), Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@Baler Banjo-Kazooie was a Mario 64 knockoff. Copying? What a joke.

Re: PSA: Nintendo Giving Out Free 'Golden Apple' In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@calbeau Congrats on white-knighting a billion dollar corporation. I'm sure they'll show their appreciation with a worthless trinket, postage due.
Re: PSA: Nintendo Giving Out Free 'Golden Apple' In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@calbeau Shill and brainwashed aren't name calling. Especially when they're accurate.
Re: PSA: Nintendo Giving Out Free 'Golden Apple' In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@calbeau It's a bad analogy. Calling a company a friend is something only someone who's been brainwashed would say.

@HotGoomba I'm not complaining about the 'gift'. I'm mocking Nintendo for their miserably cheap attempt at getting people to update the software.

Re: Here's Your First Look At The Switch Box Art For Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
Unpopular opinion: Akira Toriyama is not a very good artist. There are so many manga artists with a better style than him.
