Sorry to be blunt, I can’t help but think it feels a bit thoughtless and tone-deaf to spend the first 4 paragraphs of the review going over the game’s delays AGAIN.

I wholeheartedly agree. For example when it comes to FFXV, almost every review has been like “story is told horribly, combat is really buggy, 9/10". No matter how much you liked the game, if the game has such prominent objective flaws, it should probably lose a few points for that.

And to be honest, there have been…

Sometimes I think if aliens came to earth to round up and exterminate the human race, conservatives would be like “ok fine, we’ll turn ourselves over, kill us all you want, as long as you promise to leave our flags alone”.

My dad is conservative enough that I usually avoid engaging him on politics cause it clearly would not go anywhere, but lately I’ve started to politely challenge him on certain points and he actually concedes a bit and begins to see things outside of his own perspective.

I agree. The stand-out games (another example: Hyper Light Drifter) still get plenty of attention through reviews, word of mouth, and the frontpage carousel, and still manage to demand decent prices.

The problem is you are conflating sexist, racist, and violent ideas in certain interpretations of Islam with the ideology of ALL Muslims. Those values in fundamentalist and extremist groups like the Taliban have been thoroughly criticized by both the left and right. If you think otherwise, you had to have lived under…

The look of the game and the environments are all very nice, but there’s something very strange to me about representing the combat of robots with the same old COD-esque iron sight + sprint mechanics as every other shooter on the market - ESPECIALLY when such mechanics were expressly designed to represent the organic…

You can see why if you go to 11 min in the video. He tried to tackle purple shirt guy and narrowly missed getting kicked in the face Bruce Lee style, but then when he came back in, purple shirt punched him in the face and he went down like a sack of rocks.

He’s right that we didn’t need a bunch of storied dialog building forced “mystery” as to what the enemies are, but “demonic invasion in progress” took it too far in the opposite direction, like showing the monster in broad daylight in the first 5 minutes of a horror film. The truth is, the game didn’t really need to…

So....don’t preorder? And don’t buy a console based on games that haven’t even been officially announced yet.

Would be more impressive if he beat the PC players on gamepad. After all, PC players have been doing this for months now, and it shows exactly where WASD alone is a huge advantage to movement over thumbsticks:

Yeah, meanwhile Paladins is doing really well... landing just between GTA 5 and Fallout 4 in player numbers. Earlier today, it had more players online than Rocket League. If Paladins can do that well being “just an OW clone” then what’s Battleborn’s excuse?

I agree, the genre peaked with FFT and everything after that was just one big Tidus laugh.

Honestly the genre is just a lump of BS that seemed cool when we were kids, but from an adult modern gaming perspective, has no point.

I’l keep using Retroarch kthxbye

I foresee him running the whitehouse like one of those office managers who constantly calls pointless meetings to plan every little task so they can bluster to the group and avoid sitting down alone at their own desk to do actual work (which they probably aren’t great at, because they got their position by “acting the…

“He wanted to replace his wife in the next few years. Now he can’t.”

Yeah I have a couple family members in Florida and the mentalities of either a) “voting isn’t worth it cause they’re both equally terrible” or b) “the illuminati pick the winner” are widespread there.

go play it and see what happens.

No amount of extra features could bring me back to the awful treadmill gameplay. The genre could really benefit from the kind of anti-grind restructuring that games like Bloodline Champions, Battlerite, and Overwatch have brought to MMOs.
