I don’t think anybody ever claimed that getting vaccinated would mean you couldn’t catch or spread COVID, just that it reduced the likelihood dramatically, which is still true. I don’t think any experts have ever said straight up that cloth masks don’t work, just that they’re not as effective as N95's, which is still…

What we’d really love would be a revival of pre-Spanfeller AV Club.

Fuck you G/O Media

Find someone who loves you as much as Jim Spanfeller loves fucking people over.

There’s a lot to criticize Whedon for. The fact that when he was FIVE, he and a four-year-old neighbor played near a pond and then the kid tragically drowned, is absolutely not one of those things. And it’s not on any spectrum related to murder.

Calling a 5 year old a murderer has the gleeful douchey vibes of every joss wedon IP

Are we really looking forward to “Choo Choo Charles”? It looks like another crappy “horror” game designed almost exclusively for streamers to play on stream and scream a bunch while doing it. Crap like Five Nights at Freddys.

You got something on your nose...

Honestly, it just depends on your definition of toxicity. Death threats or threats in general? No, people who do that have a whole different set of issues.

But telling people they can’t be angry and vent that frustration on a public forum? Either you’re trolling or come from some higher…

Wait, is that Witch Mountain meme what we’re calling “toxic”? It’s literally just parroting EA’s response.

Once they got rid of the class system I refused to even buy the game. Battlefield is dead to me now. I am sitting here enjoying watching it all burn though.

Holy smokes, I am so glad I saw the tire fire for what it was and got my refund from Steam. Maybe I’ll pick up BF2042 in a few years at 75% off, but fuck them for now.

All they had to do was stick to the proven and winning formula that made BF such a great franchise for the past 20 years.

Is it the players putting the Reddit mods in a difficult position? Or the game devs and publishers who release incomplete and broken games literally every year?

That little worm went on twitter and said we were being unreasonable for wanting things like VOIP, a scoreboard and a working game. He then gaslit then entire fan base and now they’re reaping what they sow. They deserve whatever vitriol that comes their way.

I assume they want to kill this subreddit because the other major BF subreddit apparently quickly removes criticism of the game. (which also probably helps explain why this subreddit is exceptionally critical)

“...and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for.”

Well, now we know who the asshole actually was

How is a game with an average score of 90 with 96% above median rating out of 172 critcs reviews (source: Opencritic) and multiple awards at TGA (including GOTY) controversial? If that qualifies as such, basically anything you say about Elden Ring (and probably video games in general) can’t be taken seriously at all…

Yes, the controversial GOTY Awarded, critically and commercially successful game, Sekiro.

Calling Sekiro, a game that received near universal praise, “controversial” is disingenuous to say the least.

The fact that the AV Club rated Ghostbusters 2016 a B and this a C tells you everything you need to know about this review.
