Maybe they should have been if they were all equally as “toxic”.

I’m convinced that anyone who says "fake news" is lying and also an individual who would get aggressive when not believed. "The report is inaccurate" is much better, but "fake news" just means bullshit

“Fake news." Two words that tell the world you're a douchebag with a boneyard in your closet.

Alternatively: 48-year-old has been working at a company since he was 18, has more money than he needs to live comfortably for the rest of his life, so quits rather than deal with the consequences of/requirements to change his behavior that he probably doesn’t believe was wrong. I mean, almost certainly the stories…

Not being sure what the full inside story is of the game’s development, 15+ years is way too long to be spent developing one game. There’s absolutely no way it can warrant taking that long. i don’t care if there are set backs, and it’s your baby or whatever. It’s no surprise that his leadership is toxic, it sounds…

Non-creative people are currently destroying the rain forest, trying to obstruct people’s voting rights, dumping waste into our oceans, and ensuring that insulin stays expensive because they value profit more than human lives.

So no, creative people are not more shitty than the people actively ruining society at large.

It’s just as well, at this point BG&E2 looks like a sequel in name only.

So can we all be honest with the fact that a) Beyond Good and Evil, while certainly an interesting game at the time, is overrated and had very little impact on the medium; b) BGaE 2, from what we’ve seen in the trailers with the swearing ape guy, seems to carry over little of what made the first game interesting and…

The digital sales are much, much, much more frequent, and steeper. If you have gamepass, every game is on sale if you want it permanently. The discount section of the Xbox store is always a hundred deep, plus publisher sales every month. I just bough doom eternal for more than 50% off today. It’s cheaper than the best…

This is one of those times I'm glad I went all digital. Grab my external HD, plug it into the new Xbox, done. My 1X goes to a friend, or a trade up.

Naw, the first problem with GoT was that it didn’t care about its characters’ growth as much as its characters’ “traits.” When someone says, “You could tell from Season 1 how this story would end,” that’s not a compliment. That’s a story without an arc.

The therapist has their own problems. But also, yes.

Lately, I’ve just not been giving any F’s to difficulty settings. I just set them to Easy, so I can actually enjoy the game without getting hung up on dying. If a game ends up being entertaining enough, then I’ll usually make a second run with the difficulty turned up. With the scope and attention that these kinds of…

I think, while it’s ultimately a very fair comparison, that knocking the game for its so-so writing/world building and lack of narrative options (and/or lack of lore) also invites/necessitates that we also talk about the developers behind the games we’re comparing it to.

Greedfall is not making a purposeful commentary about the difficult nature of social change in the face of concentrated power structures. It’s not. I can’t stress that enough. It simply isn’t. It. Is. Not. Doing. That.

Quantum Break’s unique shooting mechanics and level design were some of my favorites of that year. To the extent that I hope the game’s world is revisited again soon. But damn, according to the reviews, Control seems like they took everything that worked from QB and their earlier games and went hog wild, and I’m here…

I remember seeing it behind closed doors at E3 last year and thinking, this will be awesome if they pull it off. And they did.

It’s refreshing to see a game that emphasizes single player story focused gameplay. They’re not exactly crazy rare but feel more special than they used to.

I’ve been so excited about this game for well over a year, and your review makes it sound exactly like the explosive, creepy supernatural thriller I want. More games about badass women with supernatural powers, please!
