And by all accounts it was made as cheap and quickly as possible (reportedly something like 8-9 months), which Platinum took on only to keep themselves afloat while they built up their own IP stable (same for their Korra game).

I want to preface by saying I genuinely enjoy(ed) Avengers. I think the core gameplay, while a bit undercooked, is solid enough to carry the experience and each Avenger has a nice, distinct playstyle. The character models were off-putting at first, but I got used to it after an hour or so and it’s never bothered me…

The line I’ve heard from so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so many...too many...people that has always pissed me off:

“Well, ____ is family, so...” like that means fucking anything. I don’t care if someone is a second-cousin through marriage 4x removed or the person who carried you for 9 months.

Despite what people like the…

As someone who spent half my life trying to reconcile with the historic shittiness of my own father, I’d like to say to everyone dealing with the same: Fuck ‘em.

Drag ‘em. Burn ‘em. Don’t give them a goddamn inch because they will take several miles. Don’t hem and haw, don’t try and rationalize or make excuses for…

I haven’t played in...I dunno, maybe a year or so? I think the last time I jumped back in was the 2019 Halloween event (cause that Ash skin was fuckin dope), but Overwatch is like riding a bike. No matter how long I go without playing, any time I hop back in it’s like second nature, which just goes to show how…

Oh shit, simultaneous PC launch! Whoo!

The first MH Stories is a super underrated little gem of a game, super hyped for Stories 2.

Nope, don’t even start with that “sympathizer” bullshit.

If you’re sympathetic to nazis, you’re a fucking nazi. Call a spade a spade.

WD2 now runs at 60fps on Series X|S, but it’s still capped at 900p.

Both Paul Rudd and Kathryn Hahn were “stars” long before their Parks and Rec guest spots, that’s why they were guest spots.

I enjoyed Mankind Divided quite a bit, but would have loved it as much as Human Revolution if there had been even a single shred of resolution. It just ends...completely out of left field and leaves you feeling that the game was, in the very literal sense, unfinished. There’s no payoff whatsoever, and considering…

Here’s the thing so many games don’t understand...

Levelling isn’t fun. Levelling has NEVER been fun. We do it because that’s the longstanding way devs decided to gate content, but it’s not why we’re there. It’s the mechanic to get us where we want to be, and the quicker we can get through it and get to the meat, the…

I’ve put around 100 hours into Avengers, so I obviously have a good time with it, but...man...some of the decisions made with this game are just so goddamn baffling.

The campaign is super solid and the character play style diversity is pretty great, but everything else is just so lacking. All anyone wanted was a big…

I couldn’t give two shits about 4K, and while I’m fine with the screen still being 720p because of its size, it just seems weird not bump it up to 1080. But, hey, if capping it means games will run better overall in handheld mode, that’s just fine by me.

Maybe I finally buy a Switch this year!

They might as well go to the poorest neighborhood in their city and just start burning cash in a bonfire. Jesus Christ, these fucking people...

The last round? What about the dozens of rounds that came before Isolation? All big, dumb actiony shooters (and one very mediocre RTS on the psp), the lot of them, many of which I love...but lets not pretend like after finally getting a game that lives up to the reputation of the series means we have to immediately go…

You could say the exact same for Starcraft, which is arguably an even bigger ripo...err...homage...than Space Hulk ever was. Blizzard didn’t even really try and hide it, it’s right there on the screen, blatant as all hell.

the second just lends itself more to a video game adaptation anyway.

Goddamn I hate that suit. I mean, cool that they’re finally doing more than just pallet swap costumes, but man...I’ve always hated the Ultimate Iron Man armor. It just looks so fucking stupid.

Like I said, it has nothing to do with the technical issues, it’s not even really the gameplay, what’s rubbing me the wrong way is the narrative and writing. If/when I do play it, I may end up loving it, but the extended sequences I’ve seen have featured some incredibly hackneyed writing and some of the performances…

Crazy how over the span of just a few weeks Cyberpunk went from my absolute most anticipated game, one that I dropped $400 on a new GPU to play, to essentially no interest whatsoever. I was just going to wait until it was all fixed up and pick it up on sale but, technical issues aside, the streams I’ve seen of it just…
