Jumping on the writer for making stupid generalizations, while also making a massive stupid generalization yourself, is not the flex you think it is.

This exactly. The graphics were ugly, gameplay was clunky, and the puzzles and stages were boring and tedious. The only reason these were so popular was LC’s “assets”. I have however, played the 3 reboot games and they were decent, although Shadow was the weakest of the 3.

How old are you? You do realise how hard it was for teens to get hold of porn or anything with boobs back then, right? I was about 14 when the first TR came out, I never played it and all I knew about it from my horny friends was that the lady in it had huge pointy boobs. Luckily, I was able to surmise that she raided…

I remember backing Lara into a corner to mess with the camera angle so I could stare at “boobs” which, at the time, were more of a symbolic representation of breasts than actual breasts. Polygons so shapely I should have had my eyes gouged out by them. Then again I was 18 and had no idea how to “talk to girls”, in…

HAFO - Horse around and find out.

I’ve always said that Syndicate was the pinnacle of the original Assassin’s Creed format.  I enjoy the new RPGs but they are severely lacking on the assassination side of things.

Your post is complete fiction, and I was planning on just saying that you do not deserve a response. Other comments I answered should cover some of what you wrote. Having said that, it doesn’t matter if Israel is an occupier, invader, or claiming land that is not theirs (which is all false). Butchering women and…

Ah, so the naked girl on the truck, or the girl moved to the back of the jeep, butt area all covered in blood isn’t enough for you. How long did it take for you to believe the Holocaust happened, or is the jury still out on that one? In any case, you can see atrocities they uploaded on their Telegram chat, be warned…

By keeping score, you mean number of killed? Because I don’t think that’s possible to do since all the numbers are reported by Hamas. Or do you just believe the numbers, even after they lied about the hospital?

There hasn’t been an election in Gaza since 2006. What has been there, however, was a civil war in which Hamas drove out Fatah - ever since then (so for the last 16 years), they’ve been ruling over Gaza with force.

Horrible as the occupation is, it does not and will never justify atrocities against civilians. Calling out this whataboutism does not mean I don’t see the injustices of the occupation - I have friends in the West Bank living under it their whole lives and their hopes of any resolution have been wiped away by Hamas’…

“Hamas, an Islamic political and military organization governing the Gaza strip”

Just a couple things- “Hamas, an Islamic political and military organization governing the Gaza strip”- this whole thing should be replaced with terrorist organization. In this sentence- “..attacked Israel on October 7, killing nearly 1,500 people” I’d expand and write “..attacked Israel on October 7, decapitating,…

Yeah, Sony is the worst offender for everything he’s criticizing here. In the two years leading up to this guy’s departure, they published:

So what you’re saying is that MS’ IP doesn’t have the same cultural cache as IPs that were established long before the Xbox even existed..? Huh, whodathunk? Obviously MS’s characters can’t compete with Nintendo’s in terms of name recognition. Mario is the most famous videogame character of all time and has been around…

Are we going to so this particularly dumb slideshow constantly now?

Just gonna say at the top I don’t think this acquisition is good for the industry long-term and I think it should probably continue to be blocked.

That said, Sony’s continued temper tantrum increasingly gives away the game, which is effectively “we are already pretty anti-consumer, but if you do this, we’ll get even…

One more thing, regarding this:

Hey Lifehacker, I’m going to show you how to write an article:

Plastic drywall anchors are just freaking fine for any application that you would WANT to hang stuff on drywall. There are dozens, if not hundreds of different solutions to hanging stuff on drywall and a lot of people make it into this huge debate about…

I...guess this is news? Can police exist in any game without the game doing a deep-dive into the current issues, especially within the US, surrounding policing? Don’t get me wrong, they’re BIG and continue to be unaddressed and I hate copaganda as much as the next person but like...
