Yeah from the headline I was expecting a full blown c&d but this seems fairly reasonable actually.

“Looks Like the servers are already back up....should’ve posted this hours ago if you were looking for a slam dunk.”

You don’t even have to go as far back as Destiny 2, even.

I’m just going to assume you didn’t read the article or didn’t bother, and not that you don’t know the different between a free fan project and a retail product. Generally there isn’t much controversy about modding or demaking a game for fun as a passion project (unless you’re Nintendo). There’s certainly a bit more…

fuck gacha. and why the hell are you promoting it on Kotaku, of all places.

Ehh, at least they're letting the project to continue as an ersatz version, rather than just stamping it out entirely. 

Hasn’t the fact that Nintendo was one of the first game companies to pioneer false scarcity to make their products more appealing been known for like decades.

yea from 6.2" to 8" the actual viewing size of the screen is like 100" bigger.  That qualifies as a whole bunch bigger at least.

You forgot the stupid tidepod challenge, did you? Or people using tiktok hacks and getting seriously harmed or permanently dead, because they tried stupid stuff they saw there. I am in my 30s right now and there are a lot of really moronic people even in their 20s who still try stupid shit they saw somewhere else. It…

Looking at the state of social media for anyone under the age of 35 for the past decade, the answer to your question in a word is yes.

That’s one reason I found some of the game’s intended emotional beats sort of hollow and unearned. I ended up with one remaining enemy wounded in one section, crawling away and begging for his life, so I was like okay, I’ll spare that guy. He got back up and tried to kill me as soon as I turned my back on him. If you d…

I’d say it’s more of a precaution against the sorry parents who aren’t actually teaching their children anything, and not monitoring what they watch. I can totally see some little Bebe’s kid trying this because they saw a dude do it...however even though it was fake, the video was pretty funny though.

If they had kept all of that ending but replaced the fight with Ellie asking Abby about Joel and the Fireflies, I think it would have paid off even more. Have that image of Joel bloody happen when she takes Abby down off the cross instead of when she gets on the boat. Then when they get to the boat, Ellie just talks…

You say that now, but wait until the game throws some obstacles in your way to make traversal more “interesting.” Doesn’t that sound fun?

No matter how many bells and whistles you throw at me, I’m still going to want to get back to certain areas faster than traveling across a vast open landscape will let me.

“12 hours is nothing.”

Isn’t it just saying “when you play a good game, it stays in your head because you feel like it’s you doing cool stuff like swinging a sword around”. Pointing out how games and TV are different because you choose your own path.

Hmm I don’t know about all that. I think the author is totally in the right. Every preview or article for this game in pre-release was like “Pokemon with guns”... Pretty much “all” they showed was high level stuff, now that I’ve played it.
