I have been playing too slowly to get that far into the Crown of the Sunken King, but I agree with you about the level design. I really liked a lot of the areas in the main game, but Shulva and the Dragon's Sanctum have that looping around, everything-is-connected feel of the first game, which is great.

Besides, if Gameological didn't review it, how would we know how Hyrule Warriors compares to the previous 49 games in the series?

Just wait until they find a tendentious connection that proves Alien: Isolation got a middling review because of a WOMAN!

I love multiplayer Final Fantasy! V, VI, and IX, at least, all allow you to assign characters to a second player in battle.

I find that as long as the people with me are into it, I can enjoy the atmosphere of a horror game with a crowd. In order to maintain my skills in the face of certain terror, I've sometimes required my girlfriend to be there watching while I play Dark Souls (I'm really fucking good at that game, but try reminding me

Whoa, late to the party!

Or, if a single woman was involved in the development of the game, starting an internet campaign to drive her from her home with graphic rape threats against her and her family.

No, even if it's a stupid criticism. If a criticism is stupid, it's either easy to argue with or easy to ignore!

I think we got crossed here because I came in the middle to complain specifically about the idea of Joe Lieberman being a liberal. You get no debate from me on the idea that American politicians of all parties are some Puritanical, pearl-clutching motherfuckers when it comes to any culture that post-dates the stuff

Oh, yeah, I heartily agree with that. I mean, we have parental advisory stickers on music because of Al Gore's wife. Most American politicians have a Puritanical streak, usually with none of the Christian charity shit mixed in.

More than anything else, the moment where you get to what should be the endboss of Luther's segment and it just stomps him is what stuck with me from this game. Great bit.

Hey, you can like Joe Lieberman or not like Joe Lieberman (actually, does anybody like Joe Lieberman?), but the guy is a conservative if you're defining the term by anything other than former party affiliation.

In what world is Joe Lieberman anything but an arch-conservative? The guy's only policy preferences are tax cuts, censorship, and endless war.

I also don't find Nowalk as frustrating as many here seem to (although, of course, it's very true that Wallflower blows him out of the water every week), but that description of Mara's character is just… I don't even know. Combined with the fact that he wrote a review of the finale of Top of the Lake that seemed to

SPOILERS FOR TWO POPULAR CRIME DRAMAS—GUESS WHICH ONES!

cf. Nowalk's review of the finale of Top of the Lake, where he whines about "essentialism" because, in a story about rape and sexual exploitation, the villain turns out to be a man.

I got laid! After some sitcomesque hijinx.

If anyone can fill that gap, it's Ringo Starr. Just have him step right in and be the character without any comment.

The half-rotted face, the vestigial second set of eyes bulging at the end of its long, floppy ears, the blood dripping from its oversized rabbit teeth, the fact that it hops towards you in an off-kilter pattern so it can pounce on your back and suck your soul out through the base of your spine…

Post-OoT, every 3D Zelda game gets a good immediate critical reception, and then immediately falls into disfavor with the fanbase, which then translates to critics referring back to it as a disappointment that needs to be fixed for next time, and is then re-evaluated later when a new Zelda comes along and ruins the
