I probably put a lot of time into Starfield, but I’m pretty sure it was mostly time spent building my base that was subsequently broken by bugs and could never be used again.

My base created an infinite loading bug around endgame, so I had to build a spaceship that could carry all of my gear. Which is actually a more interesting way to play on the one hand, but if I had to do this from the beginning then the tedium of mining new resources by hand every day would have driven me nuts.
“Your game’s boring? Well, try playing the exact same campaign except this time with a shotgun that does 25% more damage!”
When a dev puts their blood, sweat, and tears into designing a game they absolutely love with mechanics they absolutely love and don’t realize they love it so much because they specifically put everything they love and nothing else into it.
Reminder: trips to the moon were actually incredibly boring. NASA was almost defunded until the Apollo 13 mission when everyone’s lives were in danger in (delayed) real time.
I think Starfield is Subjective, but too many people claim its Boring, or it Sucks stating their opinion as fact.
Thanos spent six years losing every fight he was in, had about ten minutes of screentime, and then in Infinity War he shows up as a badass for the first time.
The Kree are basically Marvel’s space Nazis, so there has always been a lot to do with them that the movies kind of glossed over (namely that the Kree-Skrull War was started by the Kree being pissed that the Skrulls didn’t trust them enough with technology, so they murdered their neighbors, stole their technology that…
What people keep saying for some reason: “I assume they’d want someone younger.”
Gonna say the entire career of the country’s single greatest lawman — who inspired the Lone Ranger and is also black — is still the greater storytelling missed opportunity. Besides, let’s all remember that Harriet Tubman was an officer in the Union Army who led the largest raid on the South in the Civil War and when…
Still not sure what Wynonna Earp was trying to do with Dolls at the end. He wakes up in bed next to her inexplicably, it’s never discussed, and then the show proceeds to write him off?
This after AC4 where you climb... huts and trees.
AC Syndicate is both one of the worst-reviewed mainline AC games but also one of my favorites. It’s also (I skipped Unity) the first time you start to see where AC starts exploitatively pushing players into open world busy work through the use of RPG levels.
I still remember years ago when Kotaku was attacking Gamestop for bad business practices. Then covid happened and they doubled down with their anti-worker and often illegal violations of lockdown rules. Then when everyone had just accepted that Gamestop deserved to die, the meme stock rush happened — then put a ton of…
It’s Always Sunny is funny because the joke is that the main characters are horrible people who suffer horribly from being horrible people. The main characters are the target of the joke, everyone around them for the most part is a normal person reacting to how insane they are.
Star Wars is about swashbuckling rebels overtaking an empire, but people don’t necessarily just focus on that as being about freedom or being about anti-imperialism.
I was actually terrified they would follow some/any of the beats from the movie/comic. And I LOOOOOOVE the movie. But by the time the show gets going, I was ridiculously invested in how different it approached every situation and gave everyone so much depth.
As we have it, we have a show with no almost no character development from the named protagonist
It’s also pretty great in that it shows Scott’s character development as a traditional heroic character removed the chance for everyone else to grow and evolve. By having him not have the chance to solve everything by being “The best fighter in Toronto,” everyone else got to solve everything by having increasingly…
