Coming up next

They should have called it Xbox Smol

There’s definitely going to be a ton of confused parents and disappointed kids this Christmas.

I still hate EVERYTHING about the Xbox naming scheme.

Reason number 256034 I won’t be buying an Xbox:

Experts: “It takes at least 18 months to develop and sufficiently test a vaccine that can safely be sold to the public.”

I’m not a medical professional, but I know some, and yeah that’s not happening in eight weeks even if they discovered a vaccine today.

Melania does not improve with age. Despite being in the public eye for 20+ years, she still has the animation and warmth of a block of wood. She has done nothing to dissuade me from the idea that she is either a robot, a zombie, or a blow- up doll.

I want this pandemic to be over, but the story that says we’re likely to have a vaccine by November--that’s the hoax I think of when I think of labs.

I’d say it was as much of a surprise as Superman coming back for the Justice League movie, after dying in Batman vs Superman.

It's a comic book story. Death is always temporary.

It’s one plot point, it doesn’t show much of anything.

Absolutely nobody fucking expected Cap to be dead permanently. You’re not going to make a big budget Avengers game and have Captain Fucking America be playable in one level only.

This drove me insane in the comments on the last article, too. People were INSISTING that a beta was a demo.

I mean, Destiny is repetitive gameplay, too. Do you like shooting aliens, because holy shit do you fight a lot of aliens. But Destiny is hugely successful and can be a real blast, even in single-player (sometimes).

The problem wasn’t the gameplay, but the tight lipped nature of the marketing and the fact the beta was an extremely poor representation of the final product. Which, funny enough, is what a beta actually would be. However, in these days, people hear “beta” and think “demo”. The beta build everyone played the past few…

Canonically, Black Widow doesn’t speak like Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle because she’s a spy. Spy would be pretty useless if every time she spoke you’d go yep, she’s a Russian spy. 

It’s bonkers that they’ve been pushing this game’s multiplayer mode so much and people have been so negative and it turns out they’ve had a great single player hiding behind it this whole time. I’m sure the game will do fine but it kinda feels like their decision to mostly focus on the multiplayer aspect in marketing…

So a single player game with a 10-15 hours campaign at $60 with no replayability with potentially paid DLC is ok with you but a $60 with a 10-15 hours single player campaign with tons of multiplayers content added on top of it and free DLC is not ok.

It’s almost like it was a beta!
