Given that, at this point, Kinja requires me to log back in for every single comment and the notification tabs just lead me to the article and not to any replies, leaving me to fend for myself—why do I even bother?

That’s funny, because I rejected the idea it was “good.”

Since then, folks have been waiting for another King Kong game”

Have they, though?

Came here to ask the question I’ve seen enough of this shit to recognize those manga-engorged AI faces instantly.

Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware you were going to move the goalpost a third time from ‘memorable character’ to ‘equal in stature with the most famous video game characters of all time’ in order to avoid engaging with the fact that your statement was incorrect.

Yeuch. Who wants fucking live action? Why do they keep wrecking perfectly excellent animated shows by shifting them into a shittier medium nad making us look at the ‘live-action’ overdetailed, glum tedium that will be CGI Goliath. Stop this bullshit.

“The fact that Epic sold bandcamp a year after they bought it shows that they had no plan and no real interest in bandcamp’s mission,” tweeted FTL: Faster Than Light composer Ben Prunty.

TCGs are predatory by design.

2012's Isabella of Animal Crossing, far and away the series breakout character despite appearing over a decade into the franchise’s run. Rosalina off of Mario Galaxy, a better defined character than any Mario Princess before her. N from Pokémon B&W has a rabid fanbase. Those are off the top of my head.

The finale of Lost, then and now, is fine, and a fairly decent cap for (most) of the characters on what was always actually a character-driven show to which the ‘’puzzle box’ nonsense was marketing hype.

The final season of Lost, however, is bloody awful.

I mean I can see their point. Just look at Undertale, considered famously to be one of the most emotionally resonant games of all time largely on the back of its extreme photorealism.

By ‘conceptual phase’ thy mean all they have right now is a whiteboard with the phrase ‘Not Shit?’ written on it.

I mean youtube has a huge audience of people who ruin things because they’re morons. Look at all those wankers “upscaling” film and animation to 60FPS because they have terminal gamer brain and treat a high frame rate as some kind of inherent moral good.

“Look I improved this movie by adding 400% more smear look how smo

The first movie IS worth watching it has incredible cinematography.

Stop there.

I was going to say the name of the villain in the first movie is Victor but its actually ‘Viggo’ so I’ll hold my hand up there, but the point I was really making is that I remember Viggo’s motivations, his drives, his humour, his performance, and his screen presence. I can’t picture Italian Guy’s face.

I’ve never installed it. I don’t own it. Never played it. I was referring to the people who have and write wearying articles like this one.

This article reads like every other Overwatch article: I am almost but not quite ready to admit I’ve been a complete victim of sunk cost fallacy and have completely wasted huge portions of my limited lifespan.
