Found the combat very fun. Thought the platform was...fine, but I hate platforming generally, so I have no real insight into what good or bad platforming looks like. Thought the backtracking was neat but wished that the rewards for exploration and backtracking weren’t just different colored parkas. Bashing my brains… Read more

Sharing the sentiments of others here, it’s like the game WILLS you to hate it. An unlikeable protagonist, boring as hell storyline digging just about all the cliches out of the Star Wars story methodology, and above all else just not fun at all to play. I still mourn for how great 1313 sounded and given the revival… Read more
The timing here is certainly interesting, though. Read more
I enjoyed it a fair amount but it is maybe the most 3/5-star game I’ve ever played. Excited to see what a sequel might have in store though.
It’s... not actually particularly good? It’s a combat game with a lot of platforming, but the combat is bad and the platforming is somehow worse. Read more
I started playing it for the same reason. I enjoy it, but I had to set it on dumb dumb story mode to actually progress through it. Even the Jedi Knight (I think, the one above story mode) setting was too much for me. I might be getting old.
I have been trying to play Fallen Order since it was a free option via amazon prime, and yeesh, I feel like this game actively hates me for trying to play it.
Embedded QA is pretty popular in normal non-gaming software development companies. It makes more sense to have dedicated QA assigned to your team or department than to have a general pool of people who have to test a ton of different things and context switch all the time, because then the knowledge transfer for new… Read more
Having worked in embedded QA, it is a fantastic process for the quality of games, and the implication that this may be a union busting tactic is just irresponsible journalism.
What? No you WANT union members spread out, so they can reach more non-unionised staff. They have email, telephones, computers for communication. This is how union members usually work. Read more
My god, how do you still have a job? Read more
Unless I’m misunderstanding something about the email, it seems to indicate this was always going to happen as the process had begun in November, which predates the union by a bit more than the 7 weeks they’ve been on strike. Read more
Man articles like this really are such a problem in culture. I just listened to the podcast and this exchange as reported struck me: Read more
This. My whole problem with the movie (other than it being an ensemble film where it’s a bunch of famous actors hamming it up) is that morphine doesn’t act like what the movie needed it to act like (i.e. if you “accidentally” give someone a dose of morphine, you’d know it in about 5 seconds instead of helping to craft … Read more

“Where’s my Money, Honey?” is still one of the best lines in comics history.

What the hell happened to hope? I watch Star Trek for hope. Hope that we’ll survive ourselves, get over our childish bullshit and start working together for the benefit of all. Read more
I’ve watched a lot of Red Letter Media’s film reviews and also many of their videos on ST:TNG and largely agreed with them. I’d heard bad things about “Picard” and so I watched their video about the first season and that’s all it took for me to decide that I would never voluntarily watch it. Read more
The first season of Picard was insultingly bad, so I’m not optimistic about this. Time travelling shenanigans to the 20-21st century is a well worn trope of Trek but honestly I was hoping for more Star Trek in my Star Trek and seeing Picard in the 21st century is just kind of lazy, unless of course he decides to pick… Read more
