“Arguably, we’ve already had the “perfect” D&D movie thanks to Peter Jackson’s adaptations of The Lord Of The Rings in the 2000s—which, if I’m being honest, do chart a bit too close to “action movie” for my taste”

That’s because every major publication is rating the single player design and gameplay, and none are reviewing it from the sole perspective of the extra, completely optional PVP experience and balance

Exactly. No one is allowed to ask them to change their design because that would be ruining the artistic vision....except please change everything about the following weapons and abilities because we, the people, have determined that you, the devs, are WRONG and must adjust course posthaste!

Legit very funny to me that the people yelling about PvP are probably the same ones who lecture others about the difficulty of FS games. 

I’ve got 135 hours in to the game and still haven’t messed with PvP.  I don’t really have any interest to, either.  I finally got to the Land of the Giants at level 107.  I kinda suck at the game, but I love it except for that god damned forsaken lands section....

Especially since all their games (arguably not Sekiro) already have easy modes built into them

If there’s anything I’ve learned, it’s that it actually depends on whether they’ve stated something as a creative goal and is intentional.  There’s a difference between asking From Software to fix bugs and asking From Software to put in an easy mode when they’ve repeatedly said no to the latter several times and…

I love Game of Thrones. Was it perfect? Of course not, especially that last season. And there were rapes that were absolutely not necessary to the storyline.

I rewatched the series last summer, and I was annoyed by the way all of the little clues that we followed and pieced together just didn’t matter in the last few episodes. Years of Bran the all-knowing seer, and he was just a prop to get the White King into place. And then his reward was a lifetime of middle-management…

A lot of the basis of Kreia is that she is incredibly wrong, but very convincing. She is a product of her own circumstances and in a universe where heroes are honest (From a certain point of view) and villains are deceptive that can be very compelling.

She wants you to follow her in her ideology, and its convincing for…

It doesn’t change into anything, it’s been advertised as a scifi adventure game from the start. Literally everything mentioned in this article was shown clearly in trailers.

I wouldn’t write it off based on this one review. Every other one I’ve read has been pretty overwhelmingly positive. Kotaku has become notorious for writing negative, condescending, clickbait titles since the scandal a few years back and subsequent staff changes. I only come to scan headlines and see if I’ve missed…

How the fuck are you people able to be cynical even about a game like this? For fuck’s sake.

This dearth of first-party releases has led some Game Pass subscribers to publicly point out how the service isn’t fully living up to its promise.

Headline and subheading could be a bit clearer that this is a fan work. By themselves they imply that it’s an authoritative source.

“she was a model”

Through a 17 year old, why did you leave that part out?

Holy shit. What the fuck is wrong with you, Emily?

Doja is an adult, messaging a child actor, asking him to help her sleep with his adult co-star.

THAT is what happened here.  Fuck right off with this horrible take.

Pushes for Lizzo to keep publicly harassing Chris Evans... Sides with anti-vaxxer Doja for what is ultimately a harmless mistake, since, as is pointed out in the article, EVERYONE ALREADY KNEW HOW SHE FELT.

DM sharing is not cool, but it seems yall are overlooking the fact that Doja was being a real creep in the first place. And then to embarrass the kid like that on stage is just frankly a cunty thing to do.
