I’m not going to say this to defend him but... how much do you know is real? Its a youtube video where stuff is easily staged. Shit look at most reality shows. It’s hardly ever real. Is it really destroying public property if they pay the person to do it? Granted that may not, and probably isn’t, the case. I’m simply…

Yea, while I agree, that whole “That’s not a real job!” statement is some shit I always can’t rock with.

No he doesn’t, but if he isn’t honestly, what’s the alternative?

Think about the implication if she actually is a Skywalker or a Solo; so Han, Leia, Luke or any combination of those three just abandoned her on a backwater, and left her for dead and then ALL pretended like they had no idea who the fuck she was? That…

Right. Because who thinks “I need more weapon mods. I KNOW! I’ll go pay for Bright Engrams! Sure, I can just got hit up a public event or two for weapon parts to give to Banshee, but I think I’ll use money instead!”

To be fair, the only really bad examples of loot boxes this year came from the Blizzard suite of games and Battlefront 2.

Breath of the Wild has loot boxes.

PS3s were not rather rare in 2011.

You can’t really blame sony for not putting the effort into backward compatibility. What has it gotten them? With the PS2 it was this huge selling point to play PSOne titles on PS2, they went into the PS3 doing the same thing. They gave us a beast of a machine that did it all. Instead of a flood of customers, they got…

Exactly, the whole Holdo/Poe/Monte Carlo storyline is about teaching Poe that he is not the hero of this story. He doesn’t have all the answers. His way is not always the best. He has to fail - utterly, completely - in order to gain that realization. After the initial meeting, Leia tries to tell him this, but it’s…

I like the fact that the plans don’t always succeed or end up being the wild goose chase.

Haven’t seen the movie yet but the technology to track ships in hyperspace isn’t new. The Empire used the tech to trap rebel fleets although it was only locally based, ships had to pass the sensors to be detected.

The reason it was Holdo and not Ackbar was because the film wanted you to buy into Poe’s pov and position. Ackbar was too likeable, and fans would probably give him more leeway with formulating a plan. The film was an analog for learning from failure. By nature people were less likely to forgive or bear with Holdo…

I don’t see it as a waste. The scenes were rich and vibrant outside the casino and inside. I was sold on it being a real place.

So you have to sign up to a subscription service and have it delivered to your door? That’s... weird. Unless you get a digital code for it. But that’s still odd as hell.

Had BotW not shaken things up in a dramatic way just two weeks later with its new approach to open world gameplay, there wouldn’t be anything to diminish what Horizon accomplished. But it did, and there was.

You’re telling me that Breath of the Wild isn’t also just an open world checklist? It’s the same thing only there’s no actual list that gets checked and instead you get a fancy little teleport pad.

Didn’t do anything special? What the fuck are you smoking?

Journalism doesn’t really work like that. My job is to remain in contact with games so that people can be informed as to what’s happening in them. I try to call out trash practices when I see them. I’ve done that for Battlefront II, be that my review or a longer piece about how much I think loot boxes are bullshit. …

Except Jason is the JRPG guy. He loves them. Thats like someone loving shooters but not liking the last COD reviewing the next one. He tells you flat out he likes the series but not the last one. Grow up.

I don’t want a person who doesn’t like the subject matter to be reviewing. You were an outlier. People liked the game pretty much. To have an outlier as the (literally) only person on the site doing the review, it’s just stupid.
