And all you stupid mother frackers are going to buy it, ensuring this type of bullshit continues.

Exact same sentiment. Sometimes you can have greater emotional attachment to something while recognising that it’s not as well put together as something else. I think FMA: Brotherhood is the best anime but my personal favourite is Eureka Seven. I think in a lot of respects FMA:B is the better series but E7 has a…

I mean, it’s definitely the best of the PS1 trilogy.

It doesn’t sound like their idea is really “Bond”, at least not film Bond that most people are familiar with. He’s rarely the “slip in and out unnoticed” type of spy and is usually much closer to a gunslinger. At best he sneaks for 5-10 minutes and then fights his way out and more often than not he straight up…

Ugh please not another game like BOTW/TOTK. Open world is fine, but actually put a narrative in the game please. One where you don’t have to go hunting down puzzles to get major lore drops. Just tell a story though out the game and let the player wander. You know, like a lot of games do. Like oh say Spider-Man just…

North No. 2’s has been one of my favorite stories in any medium this year. 

Announced on October 11, EA Sports’s FC Tactical is a free-to-play soccer game for mobile devices launching in 2024.

First I’m hearing about this game and everything from the title to the actual game itself looks like it was made by AI. You could’ve told me this game came out last year, or last month, or yesterday and I would believe you.

Quad, you don’t deserve Starfield, and you don’t Baldurs Gate 3 either.

These so called toxic workplaces just sound like workplaces from my experience.

This ain’t a unique take, but it is the correct one.

They both looked cool up to the point that I realized that they they both feature predatory gatcha money pit bullshit. I hate that every game of this style coming out now can’t just be a regular game anymore.

I’m no flag waving ‘patriot' by any stretch of the imagination, but this notion that the lowest common denominator is exclusively a US byproduct will never not be exhausting. Future "Ow, my Balls" fans are a worldwide phenomenon. For proof, see your average interview with any given Brexit supporter.

Yes, but also no. When you make something that absolutely hits in a big way with a bunch of people, you dramatically increase sales. Overly complex means that many people will avoid it, and so you want to avoid that, but this is different from dumbing something down. When you dumb things down, it pisses people off,…

That’s why Game of Thrones’ early seasons made it the biggest show on the planet. Because a genius producer came up with the key idea that what it really needed was dumb it all down.

What about Disgaea games? They blow even FFT away with systems.

I think you’re right. I was initially pretty upset with the change in direction, but that’s a matter of personal taste and misguided expectation. The game that I played is at least very good in every way that it tries to be. I don’t think it’ll be at the top of any aggregate lists, but in the top ten when we've had…

The Halo Reach slide has so many bad typos that I’m just kinda saddened. They weren’t the first I noticed either, but holy crap slide 23. Stop slideshows they said.

Hard disagree on that Halo 2 take. Not only is that cliffhanger ending earned and eventually paid off, calling Halo 2's campaign truncated or shortened is a fabrication. There are more campaign levels and it takes approximately the same length of time to finish as the first game, maybe longer. I also think it’s a…

I’m sure everyone will have one not on the list lol :) Mine: AC2 when the ‘hologram’ stops talking to Ezio, who was in the room with her, and starts addressing Desmond who was in the Animus. It was a scream out loud  ‘OMG!’ drop the controller moment for me.
