    THIS GUY HATES CRAFTING SHOES.You had me excited about this game when you said "crafting" but I didn't really get into it until you said "painful inventory management." Let me tell you there's NOTHIN...

    @chamurai: Maybe. Though that's a bit more complicated because there's less clarity on whether they're different games. But if they're going to combine the metacritics in that way then yeah, they shou...

    The Xbox console business is in (the beginnings of) a death spiral

    I want to be clear from the outset that I’m not talking about Microsoft’s involvement in games being under threat. Xbox owns Minecraft and Call of Duty. It spent almost $100 billion buying game makers...

    @zombiepie has accused me of downplaying the gravity of Microsoft, and by association Phil Spencer’s recent actions so I want to start off by acknowledging that the recent job destruction at Microsoft...

    @chamurai: Yeah I don't know why it made the choice you marked in spoilers. It also raises the existential question of what a game is. I actually think they kind of got that wrong. I think those are d...

    @chamurai: Yeah I understand your perspective. I just think the fact that you played so much of the game on the Wii U because you "needed a game for [your] new system" but then never felt the need to ...
