I hope so, too - for your sake! Ghost of Tsushima, specifically the PS5 upgrade, ended up being one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time. It’s not perfect but the things it does well are executed so incredibly that even at the tail end of the adventure I was still regularly impressed with minor details.

Depends on how much he plays - ruining a country takes time, you know. He’s not gaming as much as you or I.
Now to sit back and see what moles pop up... well done, John! Well done.
Somewhere there’s a product manager tracking all of the ‘key metrics’ around Diablo monetization. They’re looking at downloads, active users, hours to first transaction, etc. They’ve got a model. That model can be boiled down to an answer to a very direct question, “what’s the acquisition cost for a paying customer?”.… Read more
Cool - so the new guard really doesn’t understand what made Overwatch an enjoyable experience compared to other shooters. They are actually trying to mimic other ones. They are intentionally taking a point of differentiation for their product and going, “Whoah, let’s not be unique, let’s just be like everyone else.” Read more
It’s definitely an editing mistake (but a minor one). You see a close-up of Strange doing his thing with briefcase dude looking scared and running, then you go to a wide shot, then back to a close up with Strange again and same homeboy doing the same scared look and run. Read more
As some have said, I don’t get the impression at all that Ari dislikes this, but your general comment is sound - reviewers of anything Borderlands related seem to have a pathological need to shit on the humor of the series. The writing (specifically the dialogue and color - not necessarily the broad storyline) in Borde… Read more
I love seeing people figure out what gaming dads figured out years ago.
Me: “Ooh, let’s check out the comments section and see how long it took for the conversation to oscillate between vilifying and lionizing Musk... that didn’t take long!”
Honestly though, Polytopia is a fun little game. Grabbed me for a little while and I suspect it could, again, in short spurts here and there.
the story goes off the rails and doesn’t have a cohesive narrative overall Read more
I like to play with the idea that there’s a meta of sorts in play - that Wordle will attempt to distance itself from recent solutions. So if the answer yesterday is ‘CRANE’, the answer today is very unlikely to use a C or an R or an N; adjust opening word as necessary with that meta-assumption in mind. Read more
This outfit though. I’m all-in on what Oscar wears next.
Great - can freaking Fire Emblem go on sale next? I missed it when it was $40 last month...

I don’t claim to be a saint but I sleep well at night knowing I haven’t abused or stolen from people that loved me. Clearly the dude was probably dealing with some issues, and I feel awful for those who were impacted by those, but as many have pointed out, Kyanka did a lot of bad things to a lot of people and was… Read more
Goodbye and good riddance.
For those of you pointing out that he made Something Awful, sure. Shitty people make things that end up having elements of good despite them on a regular basis. The world is a better place without Lowtax.
To me, saying the age of the characters breaks the viewer’s immersion due to it being a distraction is like when someone says they can’t watch Star Wars because hyperspace is unrealistic but they’re totally cool with space wizards and laser swords. It’s a video game adaptation: best to just view this as an ‘inspired… Read more
Walmart was the worst from the very beginning. Rich target for bots, inconsistent processes from store to store, general chaos. Read more
Yeah, this was pretty bad and I feel like we’ve been seeing more and more of this lately. I hate to say this but with a lot of the talent leaving over the last couple of years I’m starting to feel like we’re at the end of this site’s run.
I’m glad you pointed that out because it prompted me to reread it and - yeah, what the fuck was that? “By the way, lest you forget, here are some reasons why you shouldn’t like him.”
There’s a difference between having money and putting in work. Rupert Murdoch donates money. Guy Fieri puts in work.
