“_________ Just Made PC Gamers Angry” is a headline that will always be true.

I don’t think the specifics matter. If it was a completely turn-based game, people would complain about that. If it were open-world, they’d complain about that. If it had cars, they’d complain about that. It doesn’t, and people are complaining about that.

Not a one. I think the last purely historical episode they did was Black Orchid back in the Davison years.

No? McCoy’s second and third seasons had some great episodes - Remembrance of the Daleks, Battlefield, The Curse of Fenric, Ghost Light (which was sort of inscrutable, sure), etc, and it’s not like it was his fault the show ended. McGann kept the fires burning through the Big Finish audios, a lot of which were…

What was awkward about the historical stories was that they felt the need to insert aliens or zombies or time travelers (other than the Doc) into them. The Rosa Parks episode would’ve been fine without a far-future space-racist prison escapee. The witch trials episode would’ve been fine without the “bodies being…

Man, Capaldi was absolutely my favorite of the revival Doctors and definitely a return to the classic type. Probably my third favorite of all time after McCoy and McGann, with some of the best episodes of the entire series (Listen and Heaven Sent), though Clara continued to be more plot device than character and Bill…

And people are going to feel however they feel regardless. People had made up their minds how they were going to feel about it well before the game was actually released. It’s what fans do, and it’s one of a hundred reasons why dealing with fans is something I just don’t do anymore.

Whenever I hear Ralph Ineson’s voice, I always think of Finchie from The Office first. I’ll be expecting him to throw Clive’s shoe on a roof.

It’s not gatekeeping if they don’t want in. Some people just stand at the entrance and endlessly heckle.

The way it was released really was a mess. You had to watch a movie to understand the conflict behind it and the major players in that conflict, and then if you wanted the complete story, that was drip-fed via DLC packs. They spent forever making it and it still wasn’t anywhere near complete.

Goddammit, I really enjoyed it and want more. Sigh.

For all the crap people shovel onto the MCU, I really wonder who Sony thinks wanted this or Morbius. All it’s going to do is dredge up all the unfunny Morbius memes for another round.

He has a lot of emotion conveyed by his constipated squinting as he fights garbage golems.

Whenever it ends up in a blog article title, it always makes me think of Steve Buscemi going “How do you do, fellow kids?”

I don’t see Cole McGrath from Infamous or Desmond Miles from Assassin’s Creed there, they were prime late-2000s buzz-cut hoodie man protagonists.

I’m kind of looking forward to this, since Star Wars GTA should be fun. Kay is a more interesting-looking protagonist than Cal Kestis (Cameron Monaghan is just a really boring-looking person, it’s not his fault), and I always like a cute critter. On the other hand I’m kind of Star Warred out. And I hope there’s more…

When everyone is a brown-haired buzz-cut stubbly growly man voiced by Troy Baker or Nolan North...no one will be.

I really want this game to be polished on release. It’s all I want. A new sci-fi IP that doesn’t have the wacky Fallout/Outer Worlds “humor” or retro aesthetic for once, focused on exploration and optimistic about space, with a ton of customization. It almost seems too ambitious to actually make good on all the…

It’s like they’ve forgotten how long she’s been part of the franchise. Or else they just need an easy name to blame it all on after they’re done watching those Youtube videos with the angry thumbnail image and red and white words including “woke.”

That’s a good point.
