Far from being unfamiliar with the game; this man is clearly suffering from acute AC Valhalla PTSD.

His actual, oft quoted and memed upon words were: “It’s a really fun game that makes you money”. There are no ifs, buts or maybes in that particular statement. I don’t know too much about the American justice system but, although I’d like to see these people made whole, this lawsuit also has the stench of greed and opp…

Definitely enjoyed this sweet reimagining of Bill’s story, they managed to capture the essence of the character while still portraying him in some markedly different ways. I was disappointed that Ellie and Joel didn’t get to interact with him as a pair, I was sure the story was just building up to that point in the…

Slightly less relevant to the potential quality of the show, but still fun to note, is her starring in the latest movie about tomb raiding progenitor Indiana Jones.

Shut the cuff up

I heard from a non-existent source that they requested their names be omitted from the credits to ensure future employment opportunities

“Modern-day magical adventure”

Seems it’s becoming a bit of a trend...

As someone who wants as many people to pull the trigger on this as possible Ive been trying to figure out the strategy. The increase does coincide with a new £15 dlc being release too but, while I have nothing against them trying to make more money, it’s a 6 year old game and a very polarizing one at that. Inflation…

Rainworld (one of my all time favorite games) is also the proud owner of a 30+ page Steam discussion regarding the exact same scenario. The price is due to increase in the next few weeks ($5 in the US). The news was not warmly greeted.

My comment was intended to be taken at face value, I don’t know what led you to imbue it with this characteristic. For clarity, by “business” I refer only to games media coverage, but it seems you understood that. I am being totally serious, and yes I would absolutely say that there is little in the way of “real”…

I don’t disagree too much at all, and of course “monster” was not a characterisation made by me. Part of what makes the story so engaging is the moral ambiguity of the characters actions in the context of a brutal post-apocalyptic world, as it is with many such stories. You can empathise more easily with Joel’s…

Understood, my perception was that the truly hateful groups were a small, yet vocal minority reacting to leaks and misinformation. Given how well the game sold, I still believe that was the case. I place both games on more or less equal standing overall. While I think the first game has better pacing, and more interest…

Sadly I have to agree with you about Troy’s public persona, like many who achieve celebrity he suddenly couldn’t stop the flow of pretentious drivel from escaping his lips. I will however strongly disagree that he does not deserve his status as a fine VA, his range and the scope of his roles is diverse (Joel, The…

Fully agree, top tier VA. This critique of his performance is equivalent to saying Christopher Judge was one note as Kratos after only watching the opening scene of him carrying that log.

Why is this article taking shots at Troy Baker’s performance? I understand you didn’t particularly like the game (or know when it was released) but you can’t be ignorant of Bakers Joel being one of the most acclaimed performances in any videogame. It seems somewhat spiteful to chirp on about the superior Pascal based…

TLOU performances were motion captured by the voice actors themselves, which is one of the reasons they are so great and naturalistic. Of course, facial animations in games can’t yet compete with the nuance of live action emoting, though TLOU1 remake and TLOU2 are excellent in this regard. Anyway, I totally agree that…

Yep, completely missed the original PS3 release. The date in the article is for the PS4 remaster.

I’d played all of these but Strangeland and the whole bundle costs less than buying that on Steam. I bought it just for that and the 33% off The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow which I just finished; another great P&C game with stellar voice acting.
