My, there are a lot of folks here who cannot seem to do the 'your fav is problematic' conversation with any grace.
Figure out who you want to be as a person, what your priorities are, draw your own lines, be aware, be informed (your adult responsibility, your adult agency) — but own that you've got those priorities. No need to shout down folks who have decided equal human dignity or empathy is on that list for them. It's not on yours, okay, you've made that clear. If you've decided to support someone like Pratt, it's a intellectually dishonest to present it as a neutral decision or that deflecting nonsensical line about separating art from the artist; there's no neutral value in that choice. It's a decision reflecting your own priorities, what you decide to add, what you decide to exclude. Most of life is not a series of binary questions, and yet you still have decisions to make. So make them, and own them without trying to dress it up as something else.
Nah, Chris Pratt is kinda a trash person. You can Google this stuff in thirty seconds; nobody else's responsibility but your own to be informed. To pretend otherwise is just lazy. You don't have to like it, but he said what he said, he's done what he's done and that's on him. Not the people asking for some decency.
@NoxAeturnus I'm fairly certain they're just here to troll; there's no soundness to their logic and instead of constructively assessing the merit of any argument on its face, they keep resorting to bad faith and logical fallacy. They're either unwilling or incapable. I'd just ignore them.
So excited for my Special Edition to get here! One of the only SE/LEs I own where the extra money spent feels justified above "swag." Well, I mean, we'll see, but I suspect so!
I am a PC gamer first, haven't bought this but have been thinking about it, and I would totally buy this on a Nintendo console, first, if available.
As for market base... 3DS blows PS4 and XBOne out of the water. If I had to pick one, I'd put it on 3DS, should be able to handle it.The graphics don't need high-end hardware.
I can confirm that the last update corrupted my SD card on my old3DS. Haven't updated to this newest build — a bit hesitant to, after last week. I had to spend an hour last time: backing it up, then moving stuff over piecemeal to isolate the problem, while not knowing if it was even going to work. Heh.
Man, that's some impressively self-important editorializing on the part of the author of this article. I don't think anyone expects strict professionalism from this site, but they do expect some.
@cheesesteak7: Have you tried them on Dolphin? Wii games are just lovely on it. You already own the hardware and game; you wouldn't be depriving Nintendo of any money by doing so.
I bought all three Operation Rainfall Wii games (Xenoblade Chronicles, Pandora's Tower, The Last Story) back when they came out here in North America, and would love to see them in the Wii U's VC. Not because I'd necessarily purchase them again, but because I think they deserve the exposure and it would be a lovely treat for Nintendo consumers. (Yes, I am aware of some releases in EU and it makes me sadfase they haven't been released here. Even if I'm mistaken about the market here for them — the works already done.)

Re: Review: Divinity: Original Sin 2 - Definitive Edition - A Pure Work Of Magic
I logged in to ask the same thing — after reading the review, I was expecting a 10. What's the deducted point from?
This review confuses me.
Re: Tactical RPG Banner Of The Maid Is Coming To Switch
You know, I was intrigued, hit play, and then... BOOBS. ERRYWHERE.

This might be the wine talking, but that's the most hilarious game trailer I've experienced in a while, and I cannot stop laughing.

I am a little sad that I just bought this game (and Tactics Ogre) off of Ebay a few months ago, but I'm glad to see it.
