why would you ever let what other people think control what you do ? at the end of the day, its just a video game

Gross out points to you for the first time I’ve heard “cum-cocoon”

“Tragedy” sounds like quite a stretch to me.

Gaming communities will survive - thrive, even - without TikTok. Get a grip.

Just gonna copy my comment from Polygon ‘cos I’m lazy:

Do you understand that two things can hold true at the same time? The game is good, with excellent combat, it's full of nostalgia and quirky moments. The game is ALSO filled with inane mini-games, that are not skippable, and suffers from bad pacing.

Yeah I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with a lot of posters here:
This is a completely reasonable take.

I’m going to withhold my personal opinion until I play it, as we all should, but as an adult who grew up on JRPGs I love a good, long one (lol) as much as the next guy, but that means I have to pick carefully because I…

Angry comments be damned, the glacial pacing of FF7 Remake was one of its central flaws, and it sucks if it continues to plague its sequels. Pacing does matter, especially in storytelling. 

It’s too long because Rebirth isn’t the full game you spent countless hours on. It’s a third of it, barely. Going from Midgard to Temple of the Ancients is what, 10 hours? Remake had this issue too, turning 15 minute moments in the original into 2 hours of meandering about. but I still loved it and ended up doing all…

From Claire’s review:

How can a remake be “too long”?

I’m getting that way with Crafting Mechanics in general. Final Fantasy 16 was a big offender for me of “why the heck can’t this just be me buying/finding a better sword?”

All of these survival games are just Inane Chore List Simulators, and I do not even remotely understand the appeal.

What this article doesn’t quite make clear is that Star Citizen is also infamous for “releasing” ships that are just a JPEG on the store page and the projected hope of weird nerds; So I went to check the actual store page, because I wasn’t sure if that 175 ships listed were actually playable, or...?

Alas they’ve really covered their bases on legality. Did you know they do this weird thing where, legally speaking, no one ‘buys’ anything but instead ‘pledges’ money to development? Thus, you cannot claim a product was never delivered or services were not fulfilled because you never bought any in the first place. The…

Go buy some more NFTs my guy.

Kinda missing the point here. You mention the Kinect, but the other big thing that really hurt its optics at its reveal, was its no pre-owned titles being able to be used with it. Microsoft’s focus on being an entertainment box, specifically trying to mesh TV/Movies/Whatever with games was the most minorest of…
