What in the world are you talking about?

Kind of what I expected....

Yeah! It failed! I’m so relieved!

So can you whistle and your bike just fires up and rolls over to where you need it? 

And what does this have to do with the character’s name?

“settling for being a hollow simulacrum of them all”

I dunno. I played State of Decay 2, which is not a good game, but had fun because it was short and concise and just is what it is - kill zombies, get loot, upgrade base, repeat. Adding soooo much other stuff on top of that to make a long and mediocre game....i’d rather just play a short simple mediocre game that won’t…

Man that is SO not the kind of motorcycle I’d want in a zombie apocalypse

So basically what I expected, another so-so open world zombie game.

People have really hyped up this game and I’ve been struggling to understand why. Aside from the Freaker hordes, the game has always looked like a bog-standard Ubi-style sidequest-a-thon. The story hasn’t seemed to present anything that The Last of Us didn’t touch on, so why was this game even made?

Grand Dead Red Theft:  The Last Far Cry of Us 

So they can pretend to be more creative than they are.

Whoa, hang on! You mean to tell me an utterly generic, bland looking game turned out to be utterly generic and bland?!

Hard to get excited about *another* post apocalyptic story featuring how a straight white tough-guy will deal with the end of the world.  I mean seriously, we’ve all played this game already.  Seems like a waste of mechanics and narrative, I mean come-on if you’re going to go the single player route and are making a…

I can’t imagine they would ever release a thousand dollar console. Unless they are going to call it the PS4 Legendary Elite Pro and explicitly tell everyone all games will still be playable on the console you can afford.

Just...just wear the clothes. We know who it is, the costume’s good and fine on its own, there’s no need to Blackface it up. Jesus, why is this so hard?

Yeah just don’t do that. 

...every time I see an article like this, I think, “Shit! Did Reach drop on PC while I wasn’t looking? Has flighting begun?”

But no.

It’s just an unending repetition of “pizza time.”

I’m going to go eat a quesadilla—because it’s not quite a pizza—in protest.

Now EA needs to look at their practice of setting rigid deadlines that cause their devs to nuke themselves by crunch.

Process and protocols require appropriate staffing, but at least having some process is a step in the right direction. I expect I’ll be able to cook up some popcorn with the ongoing dumpster fire that is gamer toxicity.
