I don’t think that’s a contradiction. Some of the most efficient ways to describe abstract or complicated concepts is with direct comparisons to similar things.

And as a basis, everything in the world is derivative. True originality is unobtainable.

It sounds cool. But I know it isn’t gonna have that Destiny gunplay. And that’s a shame.

Honestly, I think it’s more that the writer chose to relay it in a scripted-sounding way. People do just... breathe. (Former journalist here.) 

Wow. merryxmasmfrs is really gonna do some damage out there once he hits 18.

Nah, it’s totally excusable. SaGa is already a niche within the niche of JRPGs and to top it all off, was released at the worst possible time (aka Dec). Hell, I’m the target demographic and I completely missed it! Thanks for letting me know it exists. Gonna go pick it up now.

These aren’t “highlights.” As the title says, they’re ”surprises.”

It is to a very small population of Reddit who think everyone lives and dies by what they say on a message board.

Yo dude, Cere has her face modeled on a real person who uh... looks like that. So good job being just a TREMENDOUS racist up in here.

Ok boomer.

You either care way too much about what people think you think about games or you’re being paid way too little.

Holy fuck, that was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve read recently.

“that Diablo III was too cartoony”

I am somebody who doesn’t like teleporting all over (a la 3), so being able to wander appeals to me. The 3 current classes don’t appeal to me, so I hope they have a couple more cooking up behind the scenes.

Deadspin Forever

Drinking beer but not getting drunk is a “waste of beer”? Yikes.

RIP Deadspin

But can I still drink while my favorite website implodes because a couple of limp-dick assholes would rather fuck it’s dead corpse than stick to what has worked for nearly two decades?

So, he was an absolute moron with terrible judgment. But he confronted his stupidity, accepted his wrongness, and learned. In 2019, that seems like a fucking miracle.

Honestly, I feel like giving this guy a parade.
