The problem is the market for this is a niche of a niche of a niche. If someone wants to jump into VR why pay $550 for a tethered device that can only work on PS5 when they can pay $400 for a standalone headset that can also work on PC as well? If someone wants high end VR why go PSVR2 when there are multiple…

Better late than never. Spooooooooon man!

100% a better version of Bill and Frank’s story. I remember a moment of thinking “Shit, Bill’s gonna vomit the shit up and survive and hate himself”, assuming he would still be alive when Joel and Ellie arrived. I’m sure it’s not easy to subvert the expectations of the people who played the game while still telling…

I think this is spot on.

it would be reasonable to maybe wait a season or two before jumping right into that story and waiting for Bell Ramsey, the actor who plays Ellie, to be a little bit older.

2nd option

Had to hold in my laughter on the proud family running scene, that’s great

It’s really terrible when people jump to disrespectul conclusions. Anyway, like I was saying, most western men are feminine and weak...

And yet people are worried about a “monopoly” when Microsoft wants to buy Activision.

Everything

I suspect its more about protecting the game’s numbers than anything else. If the game does well then Roiland can always work with them again once he’s repaired his public image, while the game failing could potentially be blamed on his current infamy and possibly doom any future plans.

So... how in the world is this a story?

It is absolutely inflation - over 20 years of it. The core $60 price point for games has been in place since the X360 era, yet the cost of developing them and the expectations of gamers (including robust post-launch content) has increased exponentially in that time, as has the number of titles competing for player…

God this is atrocious “criticism” of the type where simply identification of a trope somehow equals bad storytelling. Did the writer get his education about film from cinemasins? And why start off an article about a game by admitting you don’t even know when it was released and didn’t have enough initiative to simply…

There was a time when it seemed like Ubisoft was on the cutting edge, developing unique experiences. But since then, almost their entire stable of games has devolved into the now much maligned “Ubisoft-style” open-world game, stuffed with map icons, microtransactions, and mediocre writing. It’s become difficult to…

So I’m just gonna get all TV writing semantics on you here and say that whether or not a show has legs isn’t related to whether it’s a salable premise but whether there is potential for plotlines to develop past the first couple of episodes. Being overly familiar is not a determining factor in a show’s legs. It’s all…

According to the USDA, the importation of hogs to Puerto Rico is prohibited “until further notice”. That’s according to a 2019 document on their website: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/animal_health/downloads/import/state-regulations-for-puerto-rico.pdf

But I really wonder if “tough, grizzled man takes precocious young girl on a dangerous joruney and they bond along the way” still has legs for TV in 2023... we’ve seen that story a million times by now.

SEO babyyyyyy

The metanarrative was sloppy at first, got a bit better in the Ezio trilogy, and has been a continued distraction thereafter. The problem is that stories need real senses of endings, and the metanarrative was an attempt to provide a continuity to the series when an individual game narrative finished--which makes so…
