    That's some bullshit, I don't agree with Jontron's politics but cutting someone out because you don't agree with their viewpoint is dumb. If I could request a refund for my backing then I would not that button without a second thought.

    The word viewpoint is covering up a whole bunch of the reason why people are perfectly fine to salt the earth on the dude being successful.

    Like, replace viewpoint with 'don't agree with their opinion that "blacks commit more crime, even wealthy ones" ' or any other one of his absurdly not okay quotes and your statement veers towards an absurd world where respecting contracts are more important than respecting people.

    Dude who makes comedy videos about games and movies. I liked them a lot. Used to be on game grumps.

    Turned out to be a gamergater and a white supremacist.

    It was a great game!!!

    Yeah, that's a pet peeve of mine. One of the best games on 360.

    I think it is maligned partly because it was not only not a 3d platformer like fans of the old games wanted, it made a big deal of actively mocking the old games in the introduction with a tone of like "who would want to play a stupid 3d collectathon? that shit sucks lol"

    Nuts and Bolts rules but if you wanted Banjo Threeie I get why you'd be disappointed, especially because they were pretty cagey about the nature of the game while it was in development

    The collect-a-thon joke was more making fun of the descent of rare's platformers on the N64, I thought.

    it really sucks because purely in terms of technical skill he's probably the best independent animator out there

    I didn't play Nuts and Bolts

    I heard plenty enough about it to realize I'd absolutely hate it

    The waiting for a new proper Rare platformer is finally gonna pay off like a decade later

    nuts and bolts is one of the best games of its generation

    it is one of the only 360 games that I still occasionally feel the need to play (along with ninja gaiden II and ME3 multi)

    wah, that trailer's summery is good too.
    Hello everybody! I’m Hazem Hawash, CEO here at Enigami. Today I’m proud to show off a brand new trailer for our indie studio’s upcoming action-RPG, Shiness: The Lightning Kingdom, which comes to PlayStation 4 on 18 April 2017!

    In today’s Music Trailer, we invite you to discover the magical lands and characters of the Lightning Kingdom, accompanied by an entrancing, original soundtrack. This gives you a good first taste of the tracks that will accompany you along your journey!

    Our game’s universe was first born over 20 years ago from the pen strokes of Samir Rebib, the Artistic Director of Enigami. Composed of passionate people, our young studio went through a successful Kickstarter campaign, allowing Shiness to grow and gain momentum before being accompanied by Focus Home Interactive.

    We’ve pumped all our energy and passion into Shiness, and in less than a month a child's dream finally becomes an indie-RPG with a bold personality… and enchanting music!

    It was a very well-made game in a genre I have absolutely no desire (or patience) to play.

    I wish Rare had infinite time and money under Microsoft so they could have simultaneously released Nuts & Bolts AND Banjo Threeie

    Nope, it's Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo and Bottles.

    A quick check reveals that while she doesn't appear as the game, her picture is in Banjo's house and she appears on a carton of milk as "Missing"

    EDIT: Man, I almost decided to play through BK and BT again, but then I remembered Yooka-Laylee was out in less than three weeks. I can wait.

    Also Snake Pass is out next week (!)

    sadly it's dark cloud in appearance only; the gameplay us like a limited fighting game version of Zelda.

    lots of farm-em-ups getting announced, this one is by some ex-fable developers


    If you’ve played Stardew Valley and wished that poo played a bigger part in life down on the farm, Kynseed [itch.io page] might just have you covered. The developers of this sandbox adventure spent “over 10,000 years (give or take 9,975 years)” working on the Fable series and they want to bring some of the same eccentricities and charm to their new indie project. The eventual goal, it seems, is to build a world that simulates the finer details of passing seasons, ageing, NPC routines and monster poo.

    There are other funny dudes, and i doubt he even had anything to do with the game's writing

    He was just going to be a goofy voice, a nice tribute to him being a fan

    Maybe losing that will make him do some thinking

    I very sincerely doubt it.

    And that is not a position I take lightly.

    Normally I am all for being hopeful with shitty people seeing reason, but I've been keeping up with JonTron's stupid shit for months, now and he's been getting shit for this kind of crap for years. It's not a new thing.

    This isn't even the first time he's been burned by people he respected. It doesn't matter. None of it matters. If he ever responds to criticism, it's always with the handwave of "I accept that you feel that way" or "I see your point, but-" or other sort of non-apologies.

    Jon Jafari has made it very clear that he's not willing to accept fault when he says shit that upsets people. It's never his fault, because he just knows he's not a bigot.

    The man simply will not stop digging until he reaches the center of the earth.

    Playtonic doing that has certainly made me pre-order their game.
