Trembling disappointment has engulfed the gaming landscape. The messianic No Man's Sky, a game that fans literally launched death threats over reports of its delay, has finally be released.

Some people liked it. Some found it wanting. Word is that it's boring, aimless, endless, and zen. That's pretty bold, releasing a game with so few objectives. Then again, Minecraft didn't make 1 billion dollars by accident.

Here's why you should give Xenoblade Chronicles X a shot:

Is that truly what you seek?

In reality, a full-sized, HD Monster Hunter game on PS4 or Xbox One is what your mind is imagining.

Let's actually consider what it would take for a PS4 Monster Hunter game to be successful?

This week's question again addresses the controversial DC Extended Universe movies. Previously, we drilled down into the reasons why Zack Snyder is allowed to keep making movies.

This week's question again concerns the summertime mobile-phone phenomenon, Pokemon Go.

Never mind the fact that the game is inviting traumatized war veterans and autistic children to socialize in public in a safe environment, there are clusters of people that are outright opposed to the game.

Why is that?

Monster Hunter Generations released today on Nintendo 3DS. The buzz is positive. It seems even people with usually bad taste and worse haircuts like. Fans are definitely excited. Trouble is, American players are rightfully wondering why they don't make these games they love in the format they enjoy the most: on their giant freaking televisions using their freaking expensive home consoles.

It's a matter of economics.
