Karen is angry that people aren't caring about her as much as important issues going on right now

Best is Perfect Chaos, worst is Perfect Dark Gaia.

It's not a big deal so don't worry about it. Just something to keep in mind for the future.

Looks like the offending game is gone (not sure if there are any others, I haven't seen anyone mentioning them) so it should be good to buy now.

Games aren't added to your library until you choose to download them, and checking Leaf's replies he's already looking into removing them so I wouldn't worry about it.

Sonic 06 on consoles is bad so no I don't think it's worth checking out. But someone by the name of ChaosX is working on a PC port (via Unity) and it is some real impressive stuff from what they've shown of it. It also controls MUCH better and brings out how fun Sonic's levels can be underneath the jank. They post development on Twitter and there's even a demo: https://twitter.com/ChaosX2006

Unleashed is a mixed bag. I love it but it has a lot of things that weigh it down and hold back its accessibility for most people who play it. It's definitely worth a play to see what you think of it though.

Reading the apology, it seems like he means it. Based on what I know about Skullgirls' development, it's bizarre hearing him spout a horrible insensitive joke such as this, so I'm willing to believe he's not a bad person. Absolutely do not blame anyone choosing not to support him or the game after this though.

This fucking clown...

I liked it more than Origins even though I get why people think Origins is the better game.

The story is bad and its racism themes are some of the worst-handled I have ever seen in a video game

but the gameplay is like a solid 6/10.

Mirror's Edge when it's not being an atrocious brawler/shooter.

I never saw the backtracking as any worse than other RPGs that involve any amount of backtracking. The Vivian chapter gets a little silly about it but it never felt like a problem to me the rest of the game.

Yeah that one's good too. In general I like hearing about a company taking action as opposed to posting some blanket statement on social media. Humble is also doing a $1mil fund for black indie game developers, which is great since donations are kind of their thing in general. None of the standardized statements ever bother me (unless it's fucking ActiBlizz we're talking about) but they're just 'nice' and I don't think much of them.

As far as these standardized responses go I only care about the part where they donated money.

Knock it off @KHCast. Lately you've been doing the exact shit we banned you for in the first place so if you can't stop yourself from getting mad over every insignificant thing I recommend you take a break from the forums until you cool your jets.

I don't have an account at Era but its gaming forum (I try to stay away from Etcetera) is the most efficient means for me to learn about general gaming news from all corners without having to check dedicated websites for PC/Nintendo/Sony/etc. It's also a good way for me to discover games, usually indie or retro ones, that people signal boost that I otherwise wouldn't have heard of. Just don't get so invested in what you read in certain threads that it upsets you so much and eats at you. Speaking from experience.

SEGA IS BACK

I'm not seeing what the issue here is. Most indie games aren't as popular as the ones you mentioned.

This particular instance gets really under my skin, because Jirard has put his money where his mouth is more consistently than any other YTer I know of, donating to charities every year and being very vocally supportive of BLM despite his family's gas station being burned down during the protests, which he acknowledged is not as important as the protests but is still a painful event for him and his family. He's not just a stand-up decent guy, he's better than most.

Oh right. I didn't have a problem getting  my controller working with Heroes because I used Sonic Heroes Settings and not the widescreen hack, since the former also supports 16:9 and even 4K. Settings is configured for Xinput, so if that's the kind of controller you're using it should work out of the box.

I think Heroes typically only reads DirectInput. PCGW has some solutions you can try out.

Didn't every major KH game before 3 get an official soundtrack? I don't get that.

Some of those paid Streetpass games were surprisingly entertaining.

I saw your tweet and thought that was a pretty awesome thing you did. Seems like you have a lot of other people who've got your back, too.
