Well put, there’s way to much of this witless snark on Kotaku.

The thing that I don’t get, from the trailer at least, is that Tom Holland has the right kind of charisma to play Drake. He has his own kind for sure, but it doesn’t seem to fit here. A large part of Uncharted’s appeal were Nolan North’s amazing performances as this incredibly likable rogue; it jumps out at you, even…

Resi 4 has ridiculous, terrible (yet amusing) dialogue in general and the content in question is particularly groan worthy. I’m usually against these kind of changes to the original intended experience unless it’s something grossly offensive (also subjective). In this case I’m wondering if it’s actually worth it…

That’s true, corporations don’t care. There are still people within those corporations that do care about their work though; I can imagine a small change like this is just something a developer or some such threw on the table during a meeting or whatever and the team decided to implement it, rather than some grand…

But were they designed by Hugo Boss??

To all those who are unhappy with this change, fear not, your teammates still have plenty of bile they will be happy to hurl in your general direction.

There’s no doubt that Billy Mitchel is skilled at these games but we see people like him all the time in the speedrun/hi-score communities. Look no further than the dramas surrounding certain achievements in Hollow Knight or Trackmania to see high level, extremely skilled players cheating to maintain records.

The scary thing is that CDKeys is oft quoted as one of least shady resellers with a shady rating of “kinda shady” on the shady scale that I just made up and based on a vaguely calculated aggregate of various comments I sort of remember. All to say, if this is the best of the worst, what the heck is going on at those…

“One thing that’ll help: Gunner Wright, who voiced protagonist Isaac Clarke in the original, will reprise the character again in the remake.“

I’ve had a few salty comments from the greys with comments like:

Thanks for the info! I think he needs more than a new wardrobe tbh though!

Looking at the Steam page, these seem like final assets character design wise. Is it really a great idea when the dev didn’t really design this character and it’s basically just Ernie from SS wearing jeans and sneakers? I just don’t get it; design some original assets for your game.

I doubt the singer is black to be honest. And regarding mention of race in the article...I mean, you’re reading Kotaku.

The hope: “You’re just too bad!”

I can recommend some of the more recent MVs I’ve played for sure, though I don’t know if they’re all available on PS5.

That’s very true, and that’s a failure of the developers in crafting well balanced skill checks. If that’s the case here I think it would have been better to just leave them out rather than have bosses that “aren’t great, but that’s ok you can just skip them”. I just can’t get behind that design philosophy but, of…

That’s ok, it just sounds like a core part of the games loop is either under developed or, in the case of the bosses, not that fun. I personally wouldn’t feel the need to beat them just because they exist. Same with optional bosses in other games, I’m generally only interested if they offer an interesting challenge…

I do agree that there is no “should be” with art, I’ll be the first to defend that, I should have prefaced that this was both my preference and opinion which is tiresome but I guess necessary. However, the review frames the bosses as “almost unanimously button mashing fests”. So if they’re not well designed, fun and…

I’m a huge metroidvania fan and have consumed dozens upon dozens of them over the years, however I just didn’t like Axiom Verge, and I’ve never been able to put my finger on why. I wanted to give the sequel a chance, since it looks great, but I’m really disappointed to hear that the bosses are so disposable that you…

There’s nothing I can add about the general turgidity of BDO and its ilk that others haven’t said but I think their character creators are great. That Crimson Desert character has an uncanny resemblance to Solid Snake/Big Boss.
