Funny how I’m usually the guy telling people to “get over” Mother 3.

@Dashu  

 
Except Nintendo still makes games.

My first couple in Fire Emblem Fates finally got married. Many blessings upon them and their ugly child.

@Jarkes  
i love that guy’s content.

@Jarkes  

 
Did you actually expect EA to do something good?

Micro-transactions is the death of video gaming. Until they go away, there’s a hole in video gaming that will never be repaired.

@Jarkes  

 
Of course, EA. Never change.
 
Seriously though, if we know their practices are crap, why do we still buy their games? Well, not me. I pirated them.

@Holofan4life  
Video games aren’t dying, it’s just the triple A aspect that’s going in the shitter.

@Mike
 
But more and more games are doing Micro-transactions.

@Holofan4life  
No, just the big budget AAA games.

@Mike
 
I still think it’s becoming more frequent.

@Mike  
People seem to trust AAA games so easily. Like, it has a AAA budget, so it must be good, right?
 
Fuck no. The more money you have, the more careful you have to spend it. AAA games can’t afford to fuck up, so they always go for the same cliché tactics with little to no innovation because it sells. After so many games, you start to notice a trend within companies. Like, nothing has been great or amazing. Just mediocre at best.

@HJSDGCE  
Aye. Indie game devs could see a surge in popularity, though.

@Mike  
Right until the big publishers start buying them all up and forcing them to turn out games without any iota of understanding as to what made them unique and desirable to consumers in the first place.

@Silent_Witness  
Well, we just have to hope they don’t get bought out.

@Silent_Witness  
Why do big publishers keep buying companies like this? I would never sell my brand that I’ve worked so hard on.

And another couple’s been married. Many blessings upon you and your ugly child as well.

In related news, I may be regretting my decision to settle for Camilla so quickly.

Oh hey! Look what else has loot boxes other than Star Wars Battlefront 2!  
#FuckEA

I WAS BEATING DACIA WITH LIKE ONE HASTATI AND TWO ROMAN GENERAL UNITS AND THEN THE GAME CRASHED FUUUUU

@Silent_Witness  
Make I ask who you’ve paired so far?

@HJSDGCE  
Not always the case, though. I mean, this year we got Nier Automata. Of course, that Square Enix even agreed to fund it is nothing short of a miracle and more of an exception than anything.
 
@Mike  
More walking simulators, forever unfinished survival sandboxes and no-effort pixel “art” garbage. Yay.
 
Call me pessimistic, but even if indie devs gain more popularity, I doubt that the amount of actually worthwhile games will increase.

I just found out that Blizzard is own by Activision. This makes too much sense.

I feel like I’m the only Nintendo fan that doesn’t care about Breath of the Wild or Mario.
