This article feels kind of gross. Like, I get the whole angle of helping people save money or w/e, but I feel like going “You should not buy this game (which we think is kinda fun!) because it’s on a streaming service.” is one of the actual boogeymen scenarios that streaming cynics point out. 

To be fair, the campaign, save for the couple missions that were just the open world multiplayer, was actually pretty solid. It was the whole live service and multiplayer design that is a complete mess. If the game were just a linear campaign without gear and cosmetics I think it would have been received much better.

Just because you hate the game doesn’t mean that hasn’t been a request by the playing fanbase since day 1.

I’m delighted by it. Once I finished the campaign I wanted to go back and replay it to find all the references and Easter eggs that I missed.  It’s also a great story and well worth replaying just for that.

I’m not about to replay it but it was a pretty good campaign. It was everything that wasn’t the campaign that were more the problem.

Not bad, but I still prefer this one:

“To be fair, I had no idea what it meant for 20+ years.”

Why do you need to be fair? And why in the world would you think your ignorance let’s somebody else off? It it about you?

As you said, you were lucky you said it in a safe space and not some place you got your nose broken. (I’m not the tough guy, but my dad could…

The fact your statement is “Sony does not have a solid 1st party ecosystem disqualifies you from the debate. lol

Reaffirms my decision to go with a PS5 and Switch for consoles and then a PC. There is so little reason for an Xbox to exist. Just build a modest gaming PC and you have basically an Xbox but all the utility and flexibility of the PC as well.

Because she did a photoshoot with a world-famous phootgrapher where you can see her nipples, she deserved to be harassed and bullied on national TV? C’mon man, do better. 

Can you call being sent to a militaristic reform school being “emotionally supportive”, though?

Not really. I mean their views are a threat and there is precedent that they can be violent, but they also have a history of effectively playing the victims when attacked to gain more power.

Nazis are a threat. You can’t be a Nazi and not be a threat to others, it is an inherently violent and hostile ideology.

Nazis are ideologically an existential threat that have a historical precedent in being effectively fought through violent means

Westview like everywhere else had just spent five years decimated by the Snap.

ok, so here’s the thing about depression: there isn’t a cure, you don’t “get over” it. It’s a chronic condition that gets better and worse, and it isn’t rational.

The narrator always kills it for me. She sounds like she’s talking to 12 year olds in the 90's. It’s so immature and cheesy sounding. We always get the real commercial stuff in these State of Play videos and never what we really wanna see. Most of it was, remembers those new IPs we showed last time? Here’s more of…

For many, he was an example of what more equitable storytelling might look like, a model for how to create compelling women protagonists who were also very, very fun to watch.

I wish I had a thousand stars for this.
