I beat the game, but my wife who is occasionally in the room while I’m playing turned at one point and said “Is this game always so....?”
“Dour?” I finished.
“Yeah...”
“Sure seems that way.”

I want to be clear that I had fun, it’s a good game. But it’s not a rpg in any meaninful way, and worse, it borders on being rather…

It’s weird how many people hate fun.

I’m just hoping the story isn’t as stupidly grimdark as D:OS2. “In order to defeat the villain you must become godlike, which is kind of a pain if you don’t want to absorb souls like some Shang Tsung motherfucker. Also the fantasy races are all *kiiiiinda* into genociding each other, the Origin characters are slavers…

I mean, that's some pretty good flavor all things considered.

was playing against someone using this in Arena, and it killed them lol

Gotta love manufactured scarcity.

A real fan would take the card and cast it into the fire.

I would not be shocked to hear that worldwide, FIFA tops them all. 

Madden definitely has numbers like that

These mental gymnastics are always fun. Make sure to include Nintendo when talking about console sales so that you can be third place, then pretend they don’t even exist when talking about exclusive games being a Sony thing.

He’s not correct. Condoms have had exclusives since at least *Atari 2600*. Sony uses and often abuses exclusives (meaning third party excited), but by no means did they invent the practice. They weren't even *interested* in game consoles when exclusive games were born. 

Be quiet, Microsoft. Everything you’re accusing Sony of doing (paying studios for console exclusivity, keeping DLC exclusive to one platform over others, etc), you have also done in the past.

A 20 paragraph opinion peice on why people should not have opinions on a beloved 35 year old series. 

For decades, he has offered “Dollar Babies,” stories available for adaptation for only a dollar. This is not new.

“C’mon, you can let us acquire Activision Blizzard, we barely even make consoles! Isn’t it time someone cut lil ol’ Microsoft a break?”

It’s more likely to be a casualty of whatever CMS system they use here. The display components are trying to find titles or things to link dynamically, and just dropping the text.

Before I had kids, I never really understood the draw of phone games. It isn’t just the easier pick-up-put-down, but there’s intangible vibes too - I can be on my phone and still in the mix parenting, but the vibe of sitting on the couch with a controller while kids run amock just isn’t good optics.

I can’t speak for everyone, but I really like it when they swing for the fences with Final Fantasy. FFXII is one of those games. It isn’t perfect and lots of folks bounced off it. But it blew away my expectations like few FF have. It was incredibly ambitious and imo it has some of the best world building they’ve ever…

The trailer looked great, she looks great in it and f*** anyone who takes issue with a female lead. Go play Jedi 1 or 2 then. Which I have and are both great, not knocking the games or their choice but taking issue with this over a female lead is just stupid.

Hang on now - are you saying your don’t find Generic Brooding Male Protagonist w/ Short Brown Hair #5721 extremely compelling?!?
