Okay I know Haytham doesn’t count because he’s a Templar but I want to put him near the top of this list because he’s playable and soooooo goooood

I think I would personally push Conner up. He feels more natural as a grumpy jackass but I guess character tone can rub people the wrong way.

Hollywood patting itself on the back for attempting to “protest” a problem they’ve helped create and conceal is just peak Hollywood.

The worst part about EA’s handling of Star Wars is that I can’t feel any enthusiasm from them. Every other form of media that Star Wars has invaded since the Disney acquisition have been firing on all cylinders. Books, comics, TV shows, and the movies, of course - and everyone involved in those projects just seem so…

I kinda feel like I covered that well enough in the remaining lines you neglected to quote.

You’re making a mistake in assuming there is any chasm at all. The line between the perfect person and the most villainous is completely filled in the middle. The most evil people can have pure innocence and good in them and the kindest have pure evil. To label someone as either “straight up an abusive dirtbag” or…

But also, he’s a psychopathic asshole and he hurt a lot of people. Is this really a person we should be celebrating? Is this really someone we should be feeling bad for?

This entire post is a rant. Your writing and opinions on gaming even for how old you say you are is stale. You went out of your way to take joy out of something that fanboys hoped for that you yoirself could’ve cared less about. Your take on games and movies like other writers for Kotaku is why I no longer read…

I can think of at least a half-dozen scenes in Dunkirk (and Blade Runner, for that matter) that I thought were much better than the Baby Driver “scene of the year” and did deserve inclusion in a best list as suggested in the brief reference in the opening.

Monarchist propaganda? Purely ceremonial? I’m not a fan of the monarchy, but that’s just twisting the facts. She forced Prime Minister De Geer and secretary of defense Dijxhoorn from office; and during the occupation period there was no parliamentary or judicial power, just the cabinet... only by royal decree could…

“Toxic masculinity.” what newspeak is this. why the hate on men and masculinity? Want me to talk about ‘toxic femininity’? I wouldn’t because I don’t think either is bad or toxic and both complement each other and are necessary for life as humans.

Doing a switcheroo doesn’t make it less true.

Yeah, no.

There are certain games I play expecting a difficult time. The Souls series is a personal favorite (including Bloodborne, despite the fact that its fucked up framerate serves only to add additional layers of frustration).

There are other games I play to relax.

If a game offers me the choice between challenge…

But there is a reason for it...it was in wolfenstein 3D. It’s a direct callback and a joke. To be offended by that is absurd.

Right about what? He doesn’t even have a point to make. “Play games on whatever difficulty you’d like”. Wow, fucking groundbreaking.

For fuck’s sake, Ethan, really? This is dumb. Sorry, this is just dumb. How little self confidence must you have that a picture of a man in a baby bonnet somehow bullies you? It’s a picture in a video game. No one is watching you. It isn’t a form of peer pressure, it’s your own weird insecurities. Sack up, man.

Gotta get those clicks, friend.

In other words, you felt peer pressure from a game and now want all of us to peer pressure gaming companies into making game that doesn’t peer pressure you back?

Well... no. I mean, it’s fine, and it does some cool stuff, and it looks nice when it’s not an orange blob, but no. The hyperbole does a disservice to what the movie actually accomplishes, and pretending it tops Road Warrior is revisionist wishful thinking.

Thank you. I stand firm in my opinion that movie is is completely overrated. First time I watched it, I thought, yeah it looks great, but it’s one long ass car chase. I have yet to see it a second time. To each their own.
