I mean, it had NPCs - they just were all robots, to avoid having to do face animation.

Yeah, the best thing about The Avengers was the unique skill trees and play style for each character.  It was such a shame it was buried in that live service game.

It’s like when a movie gets critically thrashed, so the commercials turns to random Twitter pull quotes ("I LOVE THIS MOVIE! @totallynotastan) and people getting interviewed outside of the free sneak preview they got.

I mean live service or not, the gameplay I saw was four characters using similar but apparently different-feeling superleapy traversal to unload bullets into giant glowing weak spots, which is not a gameplay style I’m especially interested in, especially as a followup to the Arkham games.  Like even if they do an…

So the unbiased journalists they let demo the game this week didn’t like it, and now they’re hoping to muddy the waters by letting the players they gave access in November post about it. I’m not sure who the Nov group was, but I’m guessing it included people/non-professionals who are likely to be favorable to…

AI is an useful technology.

Bless your little American cotton socks. There’s a reason that literally the entire rest of the world (apart from a few little 3rd world countries) uses Celsius and the metric system.

Her dating history gets a second look because she writes songs about the people she’s dated. It’s not just part of her personal life, it’s part of her artistic output.

yeah. No one makes jokes about Leo DiCaprio’s dating life... or hell, decades ago about Nicholson... or before that Warren Beatty...

You never heard ALL the jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating?!? For example, “This ceremony is so long that by the end, Leo’s date will be too old for him to be interested in anymore.”

I don’t agree? Male celebs definitely have been/are known when they date a few big name female celebs.

Aside from Dragon Quest which has been a reliable seller in Japan (And those ports you referenced barely made it stateside), and Undertale which is... Its own thing. Almost everything you listed was either incredibly niche or an outright flop.

Indeed, I don’t think I have seen a company so thoroughly ruined such a refreshingly unique golden opportunity like this over the course of last few years.

He makes movies that are fun to watch, and that’s it.

It’s more like “Holy shit, this Whopper I ordered has wilted lettuce, old cheese, and I’m pretty sure this isn’t even beef.”

i was diamond for a number of seasons across multiple heroes before getting tired of the toxicity and shifting to the arcade and quickplay. I also had at least 20 hours with every character up through OW2. the game took a turn after role queue and it was all downhill from there.

i highly disagree with that. team composition and variety took a massive hit going to 5v5. Like the difference in number of ptotential team compositions went from millions to thousands. This has lead to a pretty boring gameplay loop from my experience. before while taking out a healer or a tank was beneficial it…

Being disappointed with Overwatch 2 is like being disappointed with a commercial that parodies a movie scene because it’s not as good as the actual movie.

Saying the Pride event “wasn’t perfect” is being way too charitable. As a trans person, it’s the reason I uninstalled the game for good after years of actively playing it, because Blizzard made the event unavailable in countries like Poland, Russia, Lithuania, Hungary and Romania. What’s the point of Pride if it’s…
