When it’s punching down, yes.

I’m absolutely jazzed for Thor and the next GOTG, and while I’m sad that Scott Derrickson exited Doctor Strange, I’m definitely curious what we’ll get from Sam Raimi.

I don’t have any real interest in Assassin’s Creed one way or the other; I just want to applaud Ash for using ‘Anthem’ and ‘GTA V’ as the two benchmarks of Live Service, which feels like a nicely succinct way to sum up ‘how Live Service can fail’ versus ‘how Live Service can succeed’ (financially, at least). The…

I feel like comparing it to a Bioware RPG like you do in the title isnt the best comparison, you said Bioware and immediately i thought Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Knights Of The Old Republic. I dont think many people are going to think “CRPG” when you say Bioware RPG, i ended up feeling a bit let down because of it lol

Awwww, man. CRPGs are one of those genres of game I always really want to like, and rarely actually do (see: incredibly gorgeous, equally punishing side scrollers; anything that involves the phrase ‘bullet hell’). This looks like it will absolutely convince me to buy it, sit in my Steam library making me feel guilty ev…

The irony being that by the end of it, gamers were hailing ME3's multiplayer as it’s saving grace.

Control is possibly my favorite game, full stop. I admit, I’m a bit of a Remedy fangirl, I loved Alan Wake and Quantum Break too. So if we get that Alan Wake sequel and more Control, I’m in. Jesse is a great protagonist, but its a big universe and Alan was also considered for the role of director. If they could get…

Honestly, I think anyone expressing anything other than gratitude to Sakurai for the nigh-impossible 80+ character Smash roster at this point is bogus. He goes out of his way to even add some wanted fighters in as Mii Costumes and everyone’s reaction is just rage that they aren’t full fighters. I get the disappointment…

My local movie theater is now an Amazon distribution center thanks to COVID, so it’s all rentals/on demand for me now.

and that movie stinks

Cage fight between Abomination and Wong is definitely the most unexpected thing I’ve seen in a MCU trailer. Wonder if Tim Roth is involved in any way.

Yeah, a lot of stuff from earlier games was missing. But they put a lot of new stuff in this game as well. A whole lot. And the game got some serious additional content, like artwork and diving, over the last year.

As much as I understand there is no new content and there is a content imbalance between New Horizons and previous entries, I still check on my island most days. I dont really change anything, but it's still comforting.

I did have some fun, but it felt more like an off-brand Fallout inspired try hard. That’s being reductive, but it really felt like an alt universe future Fallout to me, but not as clever or fun. There were some good characters, but the game fell flat pretty hard in the back half. Like all the cool people and…

This is the thing. It’s not a good game! Forget all the bugs, even if it had nothing “wrong” with it, it’s still not a good game!

When a game gets removed from Game Pass, it doesn’t cease to be for sale. You actually get at least a few weeks heads up, and can use those last few weeks to buy the game to own at a 10% discount. You can mix both forms of playing games, and many do to great effect. Nothing stops you from buying the game to own after…

Call me old fashioned, but I like owning my games. I can’t deny how appealing Game Pass is, I’d probably be using it if I still played my xbox just for those games that I always wanted to try but didn’t want to spend full price on.

Eventually though, games get removed. I’m sure it’s a case by case basis and I’m…

Okay, now write this same article about Sony releasing Horizon, God of War, Last of Us, and the many other exclusives.

I think there’s a lot more to what makes something a “Left 4 Dead”-like than just 1st person co-op vs lots of enemies and bosses (by that logic, Destiny is also Left 4 Dead, Outriders is 3rd person Left 4 Dead, etc)

I think World War Z was better then middling, it was a very solid, basically third person Left 4 Dead clone.
