It’s quite extraordinary that the very many responses explaining this article is wrong are based entirely on their not liking big outlandish games. “But I didn’t like Saints Row 4 for being so silly, so this is a bad take.”

The vibe I’m getting from the comments is that if there were EVER a time when something as boring and cliché as “Grimdark Drab And Brown 3rd Person Chest-High Cover Shooter” could have a renaissance then THIS is the moment and audience for it because apparently everyone just wants bland GTA clones.

Yeah, I am a bit surprised by this response to be honest. You obviously would have a harder time taking it further than SR4 but you don’t always have to do MORE. You can make the satire and jokes hit harder, touch on darker/introspective/whatever ideas, make it closer to absurdist fiction if you want (in a…

I disagree with basically everything John Walker writes on this site, and the one time he has a take I agree with the comments are roasting him for it. You couldn’t pay me to sit through a GTA clone, you can barely get me to sit through GTA, so SR1+2 did absolutely nothing for me. 3 raised an eyebrow, and I was all…

Speaking as a certified old person* who’s got a few decades of media consumption under her belt and has already gone through enough rounds of “nope, I really don’t want to see content like that again,” I ask only that people make content warnings clear and do so BEFORE the point of purchase, ‘cause some of us are just…

one of the essential features of immaturity is never being able to look inward, never being able to self-reflect and take responsibility. everything becomes reactions, like children at the mercy of the world around them. immaturity demands that others change to make me happier, and immaturity will take these demands…

Immediately expected to see a bunch of fucking idiots in the comments thinking they were gonna blow this whole thing wide-open by pointing out to everyone that a man does not ACTUALLY have super-powers and boy was I simultaneously not disappointed and extremely disappointed at the same time.

Don’t be killjoys.  No one…

Caveat emptor continues in the automotive retail landscape. Even in 2021, the industry is wholly rewarded for short-term wins, which seem to be sales at any cost to the customer. While it isn’t their job to educate people on personal finance, I can’t help but to think this imbalanced situation needs to be fixed. 

Great, now I’m imagining Zangief’s helicopter dick during spinning piledrivers.

Oh man, the comments here make me cringe.

Some of us are actually not that old.

Live your truth, coomrade.

With the wonderful full controller support for that game too.

The “mixed feelings” in the title come off more as overwhelmed ambivalence and fatigue in the article, than like you truly have had a mixed experience with good and bad game elements. Again and again and again you bring up things that seem subjectively good, and then qualify that by saying they left you cold,…

Even still, words in language have multiple meanings. When someone is using language in a hurtful way, then absolutely it should be changed.

Even Iron Man doesn’t usually just randomly equip gear he finds strewn about the battlefield lol. Mk 1 armor nonwhitstanding 

This, I’ve been saying this for a while. It’s just stupid to pair superpowers to equipment, I understand it for Iron Man, but the Hulk? Besides, I’m burned out of looter shooters, and this premise would not make me come back. The last straw was the Spider-Man exclusivity, while I do own a PS4, I bought a Series X…

Wow, the driver could have been krilled.

But those are not Tie Fighter. :D
