But can it compare to the original? Can anything?
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.

I think Super Mario RPG is pretty good. I’d compare it to DOOM.

Some guy spent 16,000 dollars on FIFA packs.

Activision does something stupid.

That last bit of news concerns me, but not really.

I understand that what they are doing is stupid, but it doesn't really get to me sense I got an Xbox One for Spyro and KH3 so I have enough space.

I also have a great internet connection, so, I'm not going to can my pre order over this stupidity.




I got the Encore! achievement in A Hat In Time.

Well, I guess that's what addiction and lootboxes do to ya.

Granted, I am pretty much hooked on Overwatch at this point, but I just take whatever they give me after I level up.

I spent $25 (Singapore Dollars, so... around 15 USD?) on Clash of Clans once and I told myself I'm not paying for microtransactions unless I know I am getting it, and I'm getting it permanently and not with chance.

It's still difficult to resist the temptation, mind you.

Different genres though. I am not sure you can even compare cross genre meaningfully.

But as far as DOOM goes I think that if you can than it's easily comparable to the original Mario or Tetris as far as its longevity, quality and impact on future games goes.

I sometimes do for tf2, but thats about it.

Star Citizen is fucked. Roberts has no idea what he's doing and they clearly either have no money or are running out fast.

I didn't think a game could fuck up like No Man's Sky, but here it is, a project falling apart in real time.

TIL Bloodborne got Finnish localization (at least partial). And obviously that's 5/5 reason to get PS4 and BB.

Happily to say, I have never used microtransactions.

I honestly don't think I'll ever give Star Citizen the official release like with No Man's Sky. They'll just give little updates while quietly fading away.

That's the thing though, Star Citizen has a game. That mini-universe small server thing they had is basically a multiplayer version of freespace, they just need to give it a quest system and NPC's.

There's a game there, they have 2/3's of what they promised, only missing Star Marine, they just need to lock Roberts in a closet and get on with it. Microsoft had to do it for Freespace, someone needs to tell him to fuck off and tell the team to release something by a specific date.

I was at a thrift store yesterday, and I picked up copies of Super Mario Galaxy and MarioKart: Doubledash for five bucks each.

Wish it was ported to Linux, really can't see why they didn't. Shame.
