“I remember my first console controller—the polished black batwing I used to steer my Xbox 360—as vaguely sticky.”

Remember when this website used to be about videogames, not random Internet celebrities?

In other words, quantity doesn’t necessarily equal quality.

I don’t think the issue is ever “there aren’t that many video games.” It’s just that depending on your taste, there often may not be that many video games you actually want to play.

And honestly, one of my favorite things about Hades is that it’s only ‘a fifty hour campaign’ if you kind of... want it to be. I ‘finished’ my playthrough (admittedly, with the ‘easy mode’ assists cranked all the way up) about a dozen runs after *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* bringing Persephone home *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* and…

Given that we’re just now starting to climb our way out of pandemic isolation I have to wonder how well this series will be received? You have an already divided fanbase from the second game’s controversial story. The Walking Dead and a multitude of copycats have already beat the whole, “Zombie apocalypse but man is…

....$200 for a controller....

Because we are talking about kids, and kids should totally sleep between 12AM and 6AM.

I don’t condone it, but understand the why.

Honestly that’s a reasonable place to lose interest, the theater is one of the low points of the game and it’s all the more obvious because it follows two of the best (or at least my favorite) levels.

TBH I think the RT score is complete BS. The binary system applied to each critic (“did they like the movie or not”) forbids any nuanced opinion. I can “like” a dumb but entertaining Dwayne Johnson action movie and a Pixar masterpiece, but not in the same way or at the same level. IIRC that’s why Kotaku dropped the…

And how exactly is that relevant to the quality of this movie in particular?

I never, ever read user reviews. Not even a glance at the score. As a user, it’s an utterly useless metric.

Oh my god...Maybe the majority of readers weren’t even born yet?!? D:

The Lucasarts remasters (Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle etc) have this feature too. 

Probably not. In my experience, Bloodborne is more accessible than the first few Souls games, and since this is where it all started I can’t imagine it being easier to suss than BB. As someone who shared a bit of your thoughts on these games when I first ever played Dark Souls 1, it may help to know that the games…

If a game or developer does not align with your politics and you feel strongly about it, then don’t buy the game. By all means, take a stand. Sign an online petition stating that you’re not buying the game because it fails to give equal representation to women. If you want to enact real change and enough people feel…
