TIL taking something seriously enough to give it standard academic critique is the same as "stepping on" something.

They have significantly more personality than most other game characters, which tend to just be stoic nobodies. I'm always shocked when people say Mario has no personality or emotion. He has tons! He's full of joy and a can-do attitude, facing certain peril with a "Yahoo! Let's-a go!" I...

There is so much more that can be done with the current console generation. A change in hardware now sounds a lot like a) A desperate attempt to drain our pockets and b) a massive waste of potential for the current consoles.

I never said "untrue", I said "pompous and arrogant." Also, even if people who are somehow used to PC control schemes can play better than people who use controllers, that doesn't make the control scheme by any stretch of the word "better." It still feels ridiculous and unnatural. Also...

Obvious troll is obvious. Why the hell do I still come here...

In all my life I have never seen anything that even comes close to how pompous and trolly this is. You are why everyone hates PC gamers.

It's not inferior, it's just not better, and a lot of bitter console gamers are tired of PC gamers trying to say that it is. The only reason I prefer console gaming is that the controls are vastly superior and feel way more natural. I play PC games too, though, and they have their own...

It's not like we treat other people any differently. Admit it. If you've ever worked a retail job, immigrants/tourists are always annoying/perceived as stupid because they have no idea what they're doing because they're in a foreign environment they know nothing about. People are always...

There are only 2 types of games. Good and bad.

^So you'd say the same of convenience store jockeys who sell cigarettes or anybody who sells alcohol?

Ya... I'm sorry, dude. But you being bad at games doesn't give you the right to flame them. I recommend looking for some heart pieces. More health should make things easier. Also, we don't think you're trolling. We just think you're not good at this game. But that can be fixed with...

On your first point, no, my line of thinking doesn't imply that at all. Sorry. Movies are a narrative medium and, for the most part, require voice work, but adding voices where they are not needed in video games has the same effect adding voices had on Felix the Cat. Video games are not...

This is... weird. This doesn't sound like something Anonymous would do.

Saying that telling a story through gameplay means is "by default, less immersive and less captivating" is just bullshit, and again, a blatant insult to video games as a whole. You can't possibly say voice acting makes narrative better in all cases, that's ridiculous. Also, what? When did...

Power suit. It has the least earth tones :P
