It’s weird because basketball video games have offered difficulty sliders for years. They’ll let you raise or lower the chances of basically anything. Hell Halo custom games have let players change a ton of game play options since the original game. Idk why all single player games don’t do this.  

Yeah a ton of knee jerk reactions to the headline on twitter.

As a twelve year old that was a blend of my two favorite things: shooters and final fantasy.

I truly had no expectations for  Rise. (The Last Jedi is one of my all time favorite movies).Rise’s biggest problem is the amount of plot points and macguffins it has. It’s truly a mess. 

Return of the Jedi is light and fast entertainment. The good guys rescue their friend, they go fight the Empire, and they win. Light and Fast. Rise of the Skywalker is lousy because it’s a mess up of plot points, macguffins, and extremely confusing Jedi Prophecys.

Hate to just repeat your comment but I feel like it can’t be stressed enough how much a mess Rise of Skywalker is. Just like on every single level. You could throw a dart at a list of scenes and come up with five good reasons it’s a mess. Chewies death and return? The emperors plan? The plan to find the emperors…

Solo is a saltine cracker and Rise of Skywalker is a giant ice cream sundae made of every flavor of ice cream. Neither are good but for different reasons.

I think the way they designed New Horizons will keep me personally playing for much longer. Everyday I play it seems like the game loop gets progressively bigger. It helps things from getting monotonous.

Yeah generally the social media posts I find the most endearing are the people who are discovering the same things on the same day as me. 

Wild. Like that is very obviously the main selling point.

Yeah I feel like the headline should be “Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard are the only landlords with any sense of morals” 

Anyone have much any luck getting DIY recipes for the second local villager? I know you can buy tool recipes but does anyone know about the other stuff you unlock? It really sucks that my girlfriend can’t really help build the new villager houses right now.

I have only gotten islands with fruit that I have already sold to the Nooks. So i got oranges from a friend, I sold those orange, and then one of my next islands had a ton of oranges.

You “Solo only” is a popular internet take which is fair but I remember a lot of people really liking that multiplayer. Plus plenty of great single-player experiences that could be turned into multiplayer if people were willing to give it a chance.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a cannon is a good guy with a cannon. 

Man I really hope Kojima and his team tackle a straight horror game after Death Stranding. 

idk the article mentions that Ellie’s girlfriend asks how she and Joel are doing. (Maybe he dies after that, maybe the gf knows Ellie is hallucinating) And I just rewatched that part of the trailer and while it could be 2 completely unrelated shots, I feel like the conversation is a lot smoother than when trailers…

Also he surely knows the first game is a popular and well-received game and clearly just wants people to know he’s edgy for not liking it.

Am i crazy or was that state of play otherwise pretty lame? I don’t usually watch these things though so idk. 

Exactly. You aren’t making choices that affect a single coherent story. The choices either break off into completely unrelated paths or end the game then make you go back.
