I hate how absolutely this triggers every nerd pleasure center in my brain. It looks like it should, the missions seem to make sense, they handle the open world/galaxy smartly, I just want it. 

Ugh, no.

I don’t love this story either, but I have to say that even as someone who isn’t a fan, I think you’re missing the point. This is a story about a frantic desire to communicate that is absolutely frustrated. To use your analogy, it is UNLIKE a comic book, in that it doesn’t present nice, clean, clear stories with…

I can think of a long line of work that this is in the style of, probably starting with Tristram Shandy, and going for hundreds of years, and yet none of those works would include Cormac McCarthy. Do you just attribute all work you don’t like to an author you didn’t understand, or...?

This is quite an interesting list. Having SOME negative reviews is not at all the same as “got wrecked by first reviews” as the title says. Things like the Wii-U and Message Pad WERE “wrecked” by reviews, but the iPhone received mostly positive/glowing reviews, and the same for the Steam Deck. Hell, the article even…

She did 1, 2, and 3. Neil Druckman and Bruce Straley (The Last of Us) did Uncharted 4

Awesome. I just want people to keep giving Villeneuve gobs of money to make beautiful, weird sci-fi blockbusters. Especially after Bladerunner 2049 flopped, despite being a masterpiece.

As always, don’t feed the vultures, scammers, and rats on reseller sites. Either admit that you don’t care about devs making their share, and pirate the game, or just pay the $2 more to get it from steam/gog/whatever.

I mean, it COULD be, but also that would be a very stupid thing to bring up on a podcast. This is a film that got backseated and then disrupted by the strike, so it could have easily gone away, and if she was just contractually turning in a script, we would have heard about it in 10 years as a retrospective to…

Absolutely agreed. The Witch was incredible, but Us is absolutely Peele’s worst film.  

I like the Fallout games a lot, but am probably less in love with them than many. I also dislike nearly all of the recent adaptations (Wheel of Time, LotR, Witcher, Halo), finding them largely bland and mediocre. I thought this was a bad idea, especially as the actual narrative of Fallout games are bad, and only the…

Finally a reasonably priced electric car that has some modicum of personality. 

I mean, sure, the games were great. TF2 sold worse and was a better game. My point isn’t that they were bad, only that they sold poorly, so it makes little sense for them to ditch what’s working for...whatever is happening here.

I cannot, for the life of me, understand what on earth would lead them to cancel a Respawn Star Wars FPS. The Jedi games (licensed) have sold well, Titanfall (original) didn’t. Why would a genre they have excelled at (FPS) with a license that has sold games (Star Wars) not be a shoo-in? It’s absolutely possible it was…

I was absolutely bored by the insipid writing in the game—in a genre where writing is the most important part--so I don’t wholly disagree, but ugly? Damn bro, time to up your glasses prescription

Thank you, I was waiting for this reply. 

I get your point, and I don’t even think you’re wrong, but the reversal was unexpected and the doubling down was excellent for me. Each to their own!

All true, but I thought it was a perfectly solid poop joke at the end. 

This says: they remastered it well. The original review says

This is a really not a good defense. First, you’re ignoring his other problematic work (see Bazzd’s comment below). Second, as already stated, I have no interest in arguing about whether or not Heinlein, the author, is a fascist. A book can be a blip, an accidentally fascist book. It is, simply, what it is, whether or…
