This was surprising? The only reason JRPGs have so much grinding is because, at the time, renting games was still legal in Japan and Nintendo wanted to discourage game rentals. This has been a thing forever.

Hearing someone who worked on the game admit that it was done, it was done to this specific game, and it was done at the instruction of the publisher... yeah, that's surprising.

It doesn't seem very well thought out. Maybe I'm missing something, but shouldn't it be easy to add games to a collection? Like, put a "Add games" button on the collection page, and let me tick off all the games I want to add?
Also, why is there an option to filter games by "Trading Cards" but not by games that still have cards that can be earned?
It feels like very little thought went into this.

Best one I've seen: "Kojima puts his signature weirdness on display outside the box."

Blizzard is still trying hard to have their cake and eat it too. Also D4 looks like shit. Why the fuck is it so washed out?

D2 fans complained that D3 was too "cartoony".
This. I didn't agree back then, and I don't agree now.
Because people's memories are shit, and think dark and gothic is the same as colourless and drab.
Hell, D3 clearly had some sort of colour muting filter, and it just made everything look weird.
That does not make any sense though. I mean just look at Diablo from D2...
He stands out like a beacon in the obsidian landscape of his temple. There is a clearly defined mix of dark tones mixed with bright coloring to make everything feel rich. D3 was definitly a bit more stylized, but it kept that feeling of dark tones mixes with vivid colors.
Then you have Diablo 4.
It had a few moments that felt like it was getting close to it's older feel, usually indoors and dungeons, but pretty much any time I watched the druid stomping through some washed out hazy overworld landscape, I was like "this looks terrible."

I agree, it doesn't, but it's still what some Diablo fans are saying. Take Kripparian for instance:
@2:00 "This game tries to be more Diablo 2 than anything else that I've noticed, as you can tell from the visuals. It's that gritty type of Diablo, not the cartoonified Diablo 3 that we've played in the past."
Ha, holy shit. The only Blizzard thing I had any interest in sounds like it's getting Activision budget gutted. Warcraft 3: Reforged will no longer feature any story changes to make it more in line with WoW and they're nixing the redone cutscenes, like the one that was shown off last year. They're reusing all the old music, sounds etc.
What a shit company. Who fucking cares then? It's just a graphical upgrade? Why fucking bother?

And then they can just skip to HL4...
THEY FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT GUYS... HOW TO AVOID USING 3.
The bigger crime is that FF14: Shadowbringers isn't up for GotY, Best Narrative, or Best Music.
I really, really like Death Stranding.
In no way whatsoever should it be game of the year.
But it will.
If Sekiro had come out more recently, it would have easily won. But it's been out for months and thus is out of people's minds. Same with RE2 (which maybe doesn't deserve to win, but it worthy of association) and Control.

"Little known fact, it's actually illegal to make a Half-Life game without headcrabs," says Coomer. "Also, the only reason we invested years of time, money, and effort into VR was so we could make a headcrab leap at people's faces."
