Ngl, FFVII Re is probably the best place for a newbie to begin. As much as I love the old FFs, the turn-based combat and graphics can feel very outdated when they’re not being revisited with nostalgia goggles. If you want your friend to actually enjoy FF as a franchise, start them with what is most accessible and most…

There's an entire subreddit called f*cktedfaro, dedicated to just people when they get to that point of that game. His reveal hit people hard. 

So glad they presumably have a functional copy of Apollo again. Very curious to see what implications that holds for this world.

See, I’m not the biggest stealth gamer, so going through that part in the tutorial where little Aloy has to crawl through the tall grass without any sort of weapon really tested me the first time I played the game. So much so that I sat it down and did something else.

The post credits scene was amazing. The final followup to what we learned about her and a perfect ending for the game. 

I have replayed HZD often, and my jaw hits the floor whenever I get to the point of what Project: Zero Dawn really is. Same for HFW when we find out the truth of Far Zenith.

The way the game just leaves you in the old conference room after you figure out what Ted Faro did, how Elisabet sacrificed herself...all time moment for me. I had to just take a minute to let all the pieces connect in my brain.

This game has easily my favorite story in any modern video game. Truly outstanding. 

Fenix Rising was a legit good game. The characterizations of the Greek gods involved some great writing, good action, the puzzles were often more fun than tedious. While I like Horizon Zero Dawn quite a bit, I see references to the games practically every week. Fenix Rising never really got much due and far more…

I liked the combat a lot more than I liked other OW games (in particular - that you could brute-force your way through some fights or you could do them right and the game just let you do whichever you had the patience for).

But I agree that the story was amazing. I loved finding out slowly what had happened to the…

Horizon is usually considered a great game. I think it’s suffered a bit in the past few years as it’s aged. The game is astoundingly pretty, and the mixture of stealth/combat is pretty excellent for an open-world game.

But I’ll admit that I loved the story (and found it incredibly depressing in a good way), but it’s…

I just picked up my replay of Forbidden West and yeah, I’m really enjoying going back to it. It’s a stunning looking title, and the setting is still quite unlike anything else I’ve played. I do agree that perhaps it’s a bit too heavy on the Little Tasks To Check Off, and god but grinding for upgrade materials is a pain…

For me it was the story that drove me, and the gameplay/open world took a back seat. For some reason, the combat just does not click with me and I’ve played through both games and still just can’t “get it.” The stealth doesn’t feel good and the action combat is too frenetic for me to really click with trying to pick…

As of the end of Season 2, the Mule has appeared in psychic visions. He’ll probably play a bigger role in Season 3 it seems. The show is more “inspired by Asimov,” I’d say. The first books definitely show their age, written in the good old patriarchy days. You’ve got white guys traveling around the galaxy in their…

Everytime I think I’ve seen the most Herzogian statement, he breaks his own record. I will never tire of this man

it’s not clear to us whether Herzog is offering a qualitative assessment of Gerwig’s movie, or genuinely speaking to its neon pink depiction of Barbieland, a world in which ostensibly happy “people” play out basic routines with no capacity for understanding any of the ennui or despair clawing at the edges of…

Dang, Remake was amazing to me. Just seeing all the characters and environments re-imagined in high-res graphics was worth it. Yeah, the story got a little weird near the end, but I found the game really fun.

The best scene in Bourne Identity, for sure. His palpable sense of relief that it’s over is heartbreaking as he reaches for that one bit of human connection before signing off.

Clive Owen seems to have somehow fallen through the cracks at one point 15 years ago, which is a real shame as he’s a really compelling actor to watch.

I’ve bought the game twice- once on PC and again on PS5 to enable easier couch co-op with my fiancé. The love and effort they put into this game is amazing. They’ve also made roughly a billion dollars in sales.
