Maybe it’s a comfort thing.

I didn’t play on very hard, but the combat was fairly easy and got easier as you accumulated more skills and abilities despite facing stronger enemies. When I did Humtunscire the area was over 90 levels above me and all the enemies had skulls by their life bars, but it didn’t feel any harder. I had my play style and…

The vast majority of the people that worked on the original Perfect Dark are long gone from Rare. So no, having Rare make it would not have been an obvious and simple move. Also I think you’ve forgotten the last time Rare tried to make a new PD game... it wasn’t great.

As a tenet, I’d rather treat a thousand frauds with kindness than to treat a single genuine person with disbelief. I’m also a flawed person who fails to meet that standard more often than not, but I do believe firmly in it. With your earlier comment, if it hadn’t been obvious mockery and if it had been a little more…

I disagree strongly with Mr. Spohn on his analogy with homophobic slurs. I have never seen the term “blind playthrough” used in a negative connotation or intended to slander members of the disabled community. I can empathize with his resistance to the casual, and arguably flippant, use of a term that he feels should…

There’s a Grand Canyon-sized gap between a game made by an established studio who made one of the most acclaimed game of the 2010s promising a very good game versus a small studio that’s only made 2D sidescrollers promising the impossible.

While you don’t need to FEEL the hype, it’s absurd to make a claim that you don’t get it. Let’s look at a few of the things.

The real problem is that all dynamic light sources other than held/thrown torches and fire arrows are broken. They should all act like the torches do, but instead they just barely light the area around them. Ubisoft actually had the dynamic lighting perfected in Origins, then they fucked it up in Odyssey and didn’t…

Isn’t demand created by shoving your likeness into the skull holes of the public?

Lmfao, it’s so much worse than that. It’s me raging at something and recording it to watch how bullshit it was.

I do think he’s fairly popular, but it does feel like they’re overstepping in trying to make a genial talk show host into a ubiquitous movie star. Fallon at least had the decency to fail at movies before returning to late night, and pretty much staying there since then, give or take a children’s book or whatever. And…

Lol. I stand corrected =D

That last part... That last part frustrates me to no end because a) earlier Assassin’s Creed games have found a way to blend this in, and b) they have Bernard Cornwell’s masterful handling of an OC in a historical period to look to from The Last Kingdom (which is even in the same period). 

For a guy who said: “But I can’t imagine the amount of time/level of dedication it takes to be this involved in the comments for the AV Club, and I say that as someone who visits the site and checks my notifications every 2-3 days” he’s been on this dead thread non stop replying to you and checking every comment for…

They were clearly talking about growing too old for Happy Meals (unless you’re Jake), rather than dying.

Thanks for that link! After hearing that the delay was in large part due to the PS4/X1 side of things - I will have to admit to some unease infiltrating some of my thoughts... but now having had that opportunity to ‘look behind the curtain’, so to say, I am able to bide the wait placidly once again.

Ah yes, court jesters, famously anti-political.

I cannot speak to specific of this case, but in my experience with people I have known it is common when a parent dies to set up fund to help send the kid to college/university. I would guess that is the case in this situation. Even state University are overly expensive in the US, which is separate problem. Before…

My wife got me the Elite 2 for Christmas last year, and every since I started using it, other controllers feel like cheap garbage in comparison... with one exception. The new Series X controller feels about as premium as can be for a standard controller. The textures and slightly more compact size go a much longer way…

Right. But I think if they can pull their head out of their ass and just have a more solid service on the PS4/5, that would give them a huge boost. Especially if, as you said, they’re looking for that kind of console exclusivity.

Best case scenario, miracles happen and they really branch out (I think you can actually…
