Here’s the difference between you and I, and why I get to use words like “quantifiable” and you’re stuck with “nostalgia” as your only retort. I bring up specifics, you cowardly run away screaming “opinion”. When I ask for specifics, you make a face and pout.

You replied to my argument disproving nostalgia with nothing…

Shooting mechanics have improved a ton in the last 10 years. Nobody is saying that you have to lift every system from the old games and put it into the new game. However, the things that this game is missing that the previous games do well have been expounded upon by countless people. If you think that it’s just…

Would you be able to expound upon what this game makes the others “look” terrible? Are you talking graphics alone? I have no problem saying that the new Battlefront is pretty and better looking than the old games.

And you’re right that there were battles in the previous games that weren’t in the movies. That’s not…

There is an issue that occurs with games where some people (and I’m not implying you’re one of them) think that the more complex the game is the better.

Take a look at the Call of Duty franchise. My first thrust into Call of Duty was with Call of Duty 2. Absolutely loved that game. Next game I played in the series was…

Have you played the game yet? Or any of the previous games? I’m thinking not given the misinformation you’re spouting, so I’ll clear it up one at a time.

1) Isn’t the core concept of Battlefront two warring sides killing each other or am I mistaken? Well, you’ve broken it down about as far as you could to make a…

Thank you very much for this article. I actually watched the Fallout 4 video earlier today, and was confused as to why it was marked as an “Ad”. I thought it would therefore just be a shameless plug for the game, but Conan took the game to task for elements he considered completely boring. I could do with more ads…

I believe you’re out of luck. Their current planet offerings are Endor, Hoth, Sullust, Tatooine, and eventually Jakku. You’ll be able to spend a pit of time in a rebel/imperial base, and Endor has some trees, but it’s pretty empty.

It’s not nostalgia, it’s has almost none of the content or quality of the previous games. I agree that it looks great, but if fancy new graphics were the mark of good Star Wars we would have been going ape shit over the Phantom Menace when it was first released. There has got to be something beneath the surface, and…

That’s complete nonsense. A ton of companies release “HD” or “Updated” versions of the old series with no complaints and many sales. Give me Battlefront 1 or 2 with updated visuals I can play on my current console and I’ll give them $80. OR come out with a game called Star Wars Battles/Assault/Destruction and keep…

That’s a facile argument. I continue to play Battlefront 1 & 2 to this day. There is no nostalgia affecting my knowledge of this game and how short it comes to being as good as its predecessors. Have games come a long way since Battlefront 2? Of course they have, it was 2 console generations ago. That doesn’t change…

I disagree. I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and it is because of that I can’t get behind this game. It’s like they spent all their time and money on visuals and absolutely no time on making it “Star Wars-y”. Battlefront 1 & 2 were incredibly well created Star Wars games. This Battlefront is an absolute mess that ignores the…

One of these things are not like the other! Let’s play videos would be watching someone else in their own story. The point of a video game is not necessarily to be difficult, especially not story driven games like Fallout 4. It’s the equivalent of saying “Why go watch a movie? Just listen to someone describe the story…

**SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO HASN”T PLAYED THE FIRST HOUR OF THE GAME**

The way I’m currently playing it is as a father desperate to find his son, and while I’ve done a few missions thus far, it was really only to gather supplies or intel for this quest, so I’m still both really low on level and really light of armament.…

Okay, because so far I’m really confused. I went to this antenna in the north early on and had to run away with how much my butt was getting kicked. So I decided to abandon the people in the north that need my help and make my way directly to diamond city. I was in Lexington (I think) and got trounced by Raiders and…

For some people the challenge is less important than the narrative surrounding your powers and past. For example, once I played Oblivion enough to figure out their leveling system I went ahead and spent countless hours simply working on my stats (running, jumping, climbing on trees) to boost myself to greater…

Well, you’re not wrong that it is a different recipe, but I don’t know how much it is influencing the flavor. Kraft will be migrating their foods from “artificial” things like coloring and whatnot to “natural”. I don’t entirely know what that means, but they’re doing it to the standard box in January of 2016, so if…

I find myself plaything this game as if I were a Borg. Instead of assimilation, I have to go through their damn missions, but very basically “We are the Wanderer. Lower your weapons and surrender your caps. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your knowledge will be taken to…

I used to grab everything I could get my hands on for use in potions or trade in previous Bethesda games, but coming into Fallout 4 I knew that everything was going to be useful... so I no long had the need to grab it all. See, in Skyrim you typically need this one item that is hard to find to make a potion, so you…

It doesn’t sound cynical at all it sounds unabashedly reasonable. You certainly don’t sound like a “entitled malcontent”.

I do hope we both have a good time in the game!

That’s not true! THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!!

Mac n’ Cheese has been my loyal compatriot for years, and just because my only other childhood friend betrayed me with the Prequels, I don’t... could I be subconsciously be pinning my feelings of betrayal on Kraft because they have remained loyal to those who once did our country…
