GameFAQs by way of ChatGPT, is my guess. So: much, MUCH worse, yes.

My guess is that they’re getting as much “training material” as they can before they fire all of the writers and use an AI trained on these “guides” so they can run the site without any staff at all (which they can then sell as a money-making asset, instead of an unprofitable encumbrance).

Because some people don’t know, yet. Since Kotaku hasn’t covered the topic, I’m happy to inform them.

And having your complaint complained about. You don’t need to defend it; you’re just a rando online. The complainer isn’t trying to solve your problem, they’re just complaining.

It’s incredible how bad this is. A pivotal, era-and-genre-defining moment from the original game is now an incomprehensible mish-mash of multiversal woo that doesn’t even have the guts to show the most important death in the narrative.

Yeah, I don’t know that I’d show them the door, but I would at least have some loaner copies so I could tell the interviewee “go play the prerequisites and come back for another interview, if you’d like”.

Hey man, what the fuck?! Ne spent all day stripping that context out so the narrative would look JUST right, and here you come and just put it all back in one comment?

You’re making the mistake of thinking that a media interview - likely one of many in a short timeframe at some junket - is an honest conversation between two professionals.

Because I’m excited about avoiding it. I’m looking forward to people saying “oh, it’s so great!”, so I can know that they have pathetic and simple tastes which can be tantalized by watery knock-offs of great media. I imagine that if I post about it, I’ll get all kinds of people telling me they they are utterly…
