Sorry, but you think, the Christian Right, a quasi-terrorist organization that worships Donald Trump stands for anything that isn’t white supremacy, and all those things you mentioned, but only for white people? Do you think low taxes justify eroding democracy, eroding civil rights and rampant inequality?

I wasn’t disappointed because Resident Evil 3 was not that great to begin with. To me, it was then, and it still is, Resident Evil 2.5.

Fixed.

No Man’s Sky over-promised and under-delivered. The story is that over time they pulled it off, but not before the damage was done.

In the meantime, No Man’s Sky became the game Star Citizen was supposed to be.

You don’t have to play multiplayer, single player against bots is quite fun. Actually, even when you go to multiplayer you end up playing most games against bots these days.

I have owned this game on Steam for years, Epic is already in a bad place with me, they’d better do this the right way before pissing me off more.

Easy access to guns is what exacerbates the suicide rate in the US.

It’s the part that I was glad Abby was as jacked as Chris Redfield circa Resident Evil V. The Rat King and the boss fight itself gives you total Resident Evil vibes. I don’t know if for this game it’s a good or a bad thing.

Horizon has a few plot twists near, and at the very end, that would make a sequel really interesting. Also, the gameplay, who wouldn’t want to return to hunt robot dinosaurs? The expansion took it a bit further, hunting giant robot bears.

The difference is that The Last of Us played and felt like a one-off story, and the sequel tried really hard to make lightning strike twice, deciding to poop on the original because it couldn’t.

I didn’t get that feeling out of the story. I hated that they made me play as the militaristic, distractingly muscular Abby, as if they needed to put me in her shoes to understand why she brutally murdered Joel. It didn’t pay off. I found her friends unlikeable, I found her unlikeable, and the sex scene was as cringey…

I think the problem with this game is that I questioned its existence since I played the first The Last of Us. To me, the bittersweet open ending was perfect, and adding more to it was going to ruin it. And ruin it they did. I was expecting a sequel to profane the sanctity of the original, and boy did they prove me…

I am fine with a shorter game with higher replayability, I think longer games are trying to compensate for the replayability problem.

Most reviews of the game were not allowed to disclose the main plot points of the game, and hid that you play as the villain for a large part of it. Most people needs to know what they hid to make an educated decision, which is what reviews are supposed to help you with. I found the reviews deceptive, and not much…

I think this sequel is a parasite of the first game. It leeches out the capital earned on the first story, but never earns to stand on its own. I feared years ago The Last of Us didn’t need a sequel, it would have been lightning striking twice, and this game proved me right.

Interestingly, in Rotten Tomatoes the user scores are more accurate than the critic scores, in my opinion.

The problem isn’t the numeric scores, the problem is the unverified accounts review bombing it.

I love Joel as if he was a real person. When he died, I mourned his character, I felt angry, and impotent, strong emotions that make these games so special. That’s why I considered an insult that the game puts me in the role of his killer. I consider it so disrespectful.
