My immediate response is that this is some effective trolling because otherwise....this is goddamn insane.

Like yeah, opinions and I am aware that both of these games have had some level of critical re-evaluation. But saying they’re both better than IX, one of the most beloved entries in the entirety of the FF…

It’s always weird to me how people don’t understand how $500 is a huge ask for a video game console. More importantly, $500 plus the now standard $70 for games is a pretty sizable barrier of entry.

I was very disappointed in Persona 5, especially after playing Persona 4 which is still my favorite game in the series. A lot of that is that I found the writing to be way worse than the previous games. I know there was a whole hubbub about the translation of the Japanese script, but I felt it really lacked that…

In the year of our lord 2023, it’s astounding that people still don’t understand that “yes the hoarding of money by a select few” is absolutely damaging to the rest of society.  

ah yes...the libertarian in his natural habitat. 

something something “temporarily embarrassed millionaires”

If you’re talking about Part 1? Sure. That’s a game that I very much felt as if the gameplay was an obstacle to enjoying the story.

This. It’s a flawed game, but a great one nonetheless. Even though I agree that the combat is not the main strength of it, everything else I absolutely enjoyed.

“Victory over Google!” Epic CEO Tim Sweeney tweeted yesterday. “After 4 weeks of detailed court testimony, the California jury found against the Google Play monopoly on all counts. The Court’s work on remedies will start in January. Thanks for everyone’s support and faith! Free Fortnite!”

But you’re missing one big thing: The Series S sells remarkably well because it’s an accessible entry into next gen gaming. That’s why Microsoft is willing to compromise on the system parity thing because a sizeable amount of its audience has the console. Hell, I have it because I didn’t feel like paying more money to…

Dude. It is literally the biggest game in the planet. No shit game media is going to be covering this one for days for content.

I feel like we’ve been through years of not great news regarding Rockstar that it’s almost shocking that the trailer for GTAVI looks great.  At the very least, it got me interested to check it out when it releases.

The whole point is the meta commentary. Doing it the way you described absolutely removes that point, which makes it easier to view it as an alt version of Scott Pilgrim without any connection to the source material.

The problem is not the anime...but it’s of people who get angry that they got “hoodwinked” because they…

I can understand the perspective of wanting a full on “Brotherhood” style adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim comic book as the movie excises so much from the source material (but I love it all the same)

But Takes Off is so much better than that.  Not only is it truly for the fans of both the comics and the movie, but it’s…

“Stale, Male and Pale”

Put that on a t-shirt, why don’cha?

It’s also a throwaway joke.  It’s not really mean to be anything more than that.

I’m sorry. But people who think like this are so goddamn simple.  

I’m more than happy that they did it the way they did.  I dunno I personally like my expectations challenged by media.  It makes me appreciate it more. 

This is not meant to replace either the comic book or the anime, but it is meant to be a companion piece (or sequel) to either adaptations.

Basically Takes Off can’t stand on its own because it all but requires knowledge of either the original text or the movie.  I don’t think it is a bad, but it is what it is.

“I agree. I wish they’d just acknowledged that the original Scott Pilgrim text was a shitty loser character that deserved to get buried in the past and let the losers who liked and identified with him unironically to rot along with their original copies (as you yourself called them, they’re angry white guys who hate…
