Ah, you think Elena is generic and Chloe is some how not, I think I see the problem here.

I believe that there are very few objectively wrong opinions, but this is one of them.

Confession: I never actually finished Uncharted 3, because it left me cold. But I really enjoyed this one, so I think you'll be fine.

Sort of? You'll miss some of the deeper connections to the characters I talked about in the review, and there are several mentions of the previous games, but you won't be confused by the plot or anything.

There are definite alternate routes.

Yeah, if you enjoy the series, this is… okay? It has its moments? Let's go with that.

No, I'm not. For one thing, Chuck's mental illness and the careful way the show has established how much Jimmy has over-shadowed his life have made me, if not sympathize with him, at least empathize and understand him. I think one of the things that drives him so hard against his brother isn't so much malice or even…

Well, "fine" in that he'll end up as a cockroach of a lawyer with no moral compass. While I'm more worried about Kim's in practical terms, tonight's episode did a good job of reminding me just how far Jimmy has to fall before he goes full Saul.

Honestly, the only one of the bunch that had me interested in the plot was Origins. I love Asylum the most, found City okay but frustrating, and enjoyed Origins; Knight is the only one I haven't bothered to finish, mostly because FUCK YOU BATMOBILE THAT'S WHY. Also, the grimdark story is really irritating.

No, the movie is an allegory for William Goldman being resentful for reasons. King is no longer a part in it—and in fact, part of the joy of Misery is the author discovering his passion for just the sort of pulpy genre storytelling that the movie so routinely mocks. It's one of the reasons I find the movie so…

I think Annie's obvious crazyiness works quite well in the book—there's no need for her to be cagey, since Paul is under her complete control from the start, and having her be clearly disturbed from the get go gives everything a terrific off-kilter vibe for me. This isn't a typical fiction psycho who tricks everyone…

Considering how many comments on this review are from people who don't play Souls games, I'm impressed by the number of fake user accounts you're willing to create to prove a point.

Yeah, there's this bit in the Tower of Flame section when I was so proud of killing a boss in my first go, only to find that killing him infested the area (which was already full of big, annoying knights) with these blind white-armored guys who were even fucking worse.

Yeah, there'll be a paragraph or two about Guard in the Star Fox review.

Probably not, sad to say.

Scholar of the First Sin on PS4. It looks great but it has some _really_ nasty tricks.

Well, I'm reviewing the new Star Fox, so I'll be playing more of that. I'd also like to get back to the Uncharted collection to get a refresher before part 4 comes out. But the two things I've been playing on my own the most so far have been The Witness and Dark Souls II. I'm mixed on both, although more positive on…

Eh. I think if a game goes out of its way to hide something, even while offering you a perfectly acceptable conclusion, then there's no shame in not digging into every little corner. If it was really necessary to take on that final moon thing, then the game should've made it more accessible.

I BEAT BLOODBORNE! Woooo, wooo, awww yeah, feeling good about _that_. (For the curious: I beat Gehrman, but didn't do enough searching to face the final, final boss, and honestly, I don't regret it.) Loved the game, also love being done with the game, although I may get the DLC at some point. (I rarely play DLC. It…

I've actually seen the finale and dug it. And yes, Illyra was great. But Fred's death—and the fact that her soul was actually _consumed_—just ruined it for me.
