What follows is the fabled lost release date to The Last Guardian. Originally planned to release May 31, 2011, it was praised by the test audience who worshiped it, but was eventually lost under a pile of unreleased Duke Nukem and Final Fantasy XV games. Fortunately someone found it and now you’re going to have to play it. Tune in next December 16, 2016 a totally really real release date for real this time. For now, though – courage.
Like, seriously? This shit is still going on? This has been going on since before we abandoned this site, but… it’s STILL GOING ON.
Well played, VAMflax, well played. I vow that my vengeance won’t be swift or entertaining. I will draw it out over decades in such a subtle fashion that you’ll have to wonder whether the misery in your life is either manifest or the machinations of critical damage staff or . . . a third thing. Good evening.
In all seriousness, I now claim clairvoyant status, which I guess makes me exactly like 95% of the rest of online game journalists.
We would like to think that, yes, you can totally say and talk about dicks here at critdmg. We insist! We’re a bunch of dicks ourselves.
On a more serious note, maybe Nintendo’s shareholders should invest in things more their style. Cause I mean, who invests in video games and then gets upset when said investment talks mostly about video games and the future thereof? Maybe you want they should talk about something else? Like… maybe pet rocks? I heard that guy made a million dollars. Surely there’s something still there? It’s a whole new generation! They won’t have heard of it before!
You heard it here first folks, so you know it’s “True™,” Pet rocks making a comeback*, order now!
90% of every thing all game journalists write is silly opinionated bullshit. No one is more special than the other and we’re all just as childish as the next. Especially the ones claiming to be “better”
Sega seems to be pretty good sports about the dumb sonic running animations from the past few years. That shit is pretty nightmare inducing though.
Looks better than Sonic Boom though, amirite? (shamelessly stolen from Kabu)
…but he’d fit right in with my circle of friends.
Phil, if you’re listening. Reach out to us. We should be friends.
Looks like Midora is back on Kickstarter. They actually have a lot more to show this time than previously. Half their updates were for backers only and there was no gameplay video. That’s changed now and hopefully they are funded. It looks like a fun Link’s Awakening style zelda game and I honestly can’t get enough of that.
How to push Gerry’s happy buttons:
1) Is it retro style art?
2) Is it like one of his nostalgia laden games?
3) Is it really difficult?
Choose 2 of the 3 and I’m basically happy.
And if you believe that, then I have a super successful triple a video game company that I own that I would like to sell you.
Look, in America, we’re getting laughed at about a lot of things. Education, our ability to play soccer, and our shitty shitty internet brought to you by the likes of AT&T, Verizon, Comcast and Time Warner, all of whom have gotten huge grants and tax breaks to increase the speed of the internet over the past 10 years.
Common man, is 800Mb/s down and say… 500Mb/s up really too much to ask for?
… Then fuck the new Zelda game!
… No not really, I’m totally gonna play it anyway, I know I will. I can’t help it. It’s a problem.
… Actually No, not really again. Nintendo games are just fan-fucking-tastic. No problems here.
… Unless I can’t cut that fucking grass…
I find it hard to believe any espiers have been found as well. Especially in a game about espers.
A lot of these streamers make a living from advertisements played on their stream. If they are looking at the 30min+ wait times between matches without being able to play other things during that down time, they are going to lose viewers or just stop playing LoL. Either is bad for Riot as it not only paints them in a bad, totalitarian light, it opens can easily cause loss of eyes on their games as streamers say, “fuck this” and just go play something else. Sure, there are those that will stick with Riot out of some sense of obligation, but there will be just that many less eyeballs on their product.
Rioters are gamers. We love games. As we strive to create the best player experiences, it’s important that we understand play beyond the Fields of Justice. This means that we play games – and not just our own. The new Riot Play Fund encourages plentiful play by giving each Rioter $300 to spend freely on any video game, whether MOBA, FPS, console or PC. We’re equal opportunity players here. Rioters improve their gaming skills and report back with what they’ve learned during their research. We then apply these learnings in the work we do.
Do as we say, not as we do?
Just…. god damnit….
The following is a snippet of chat that I find amusing and agree with
| dropsy: | we disagree with people who make some idiotic rape joke so we will boycott them | |
| dropsy: | we will continue to purchase games from sweatshop game development houses | |
| dropsy: | we will continue to purchase from walmarts that destroy our country | |
| dropsy: | we will continue to support things that actually negatively influence our lives | |
| dropsy: | but FUCKING DICKWOLVES | |
| dropsy: | FUCK THAT |
This is without the promise of “big names” like CoD. And they say it’s all doom and gloom
