The sorry state of gaming

[strongbad]

and yet people who never planned on purchasing it will still go out of their way to justify not purchasing it

lol david with the sick burns

i like to whine about whiners who whine about whiners

[Kalahari Inkantation]

unfortunately no amount of whining i could ever hope to do would have been enough to prevent a game like this from selling absolute gangbusters entirely on its marketing

on the plus side, nearly everyone quickly realized just how shallow the game is and how unapologetically misleading its marketing was, and right now not even 1000 people are still playing lol

too bad that doesn't matter at all to the devs, they've already made out like bandits

But at least I can take solace in knowing that I'm not the only one who found their marketing deceptiveness particularly egregious. The devs are under investigation for false advertising.

lol

of course, nintendo will interpret these figures as evidence that metroid must be permanently retired (despite the explosion of metroidvanias on the indie scene, which emerged from the ashes of starved metroid fans)

and honestly, considering that they've consistently demonstrated that they are absolutely clueless about how to handle the franchise, that's probably for the best

Sadly, its true. We'll have to look to indie developers  (and hopefully, HOPEFULLY Bloodstained) for our metroidvania fix.

i hate having to look to indies for anything but i really don't have any other options with this particular genre

bloodstained looks sick i hope it's sick and not mighty no 9 of castlevania

Well then

they're really quite shameless about milking skyrim for all it's worth, huh

i though $60 for a barely """enhanced""" port was bad enough

[C.Mongler]

eh, there's a zen pinball board for almost literally everything, they're like 5 bucks take it or more than likely, leave it
