For real, I only read the headlines talking about “Character Assassination” but didn’t want to spoil it- so as I got closer and closer to the end, I was clenching waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I don’t know if they ever came out and officially said this was going to be the case, but this was exactly what my expectation was for the character from the beginning? This seems like you were interpreting silence as unspoken promises instead of it being a sign of no activity.

Outriders was great, I had a fun time with it with friends. And then I beat it and then I moved on to other stuff.

6 months later, it’s still a really fun campaign that is absolutely worth a playthrough to anyone who can get it for ~$40 or less, or has game pass. It’s like - a lot a lot of fun. But it’s not polished enough to justify $60 for the amount of content in the main campaign alone, and the endgame is just not compelling…

Super Mario Bros wasn’t an arcade game.

It’s kinda fucked how much Chris Pratt hate seems steeped in “he was fat and then got leading man good lucking” & “he’s religious” like dude didn’t want to settle for being the funny friend in Hollywood and found God after his child nearly died as a baby I don’t get the aggressive hatred he’s harmless and very…

I mean, it’s free and it’s genuinely fun. I have never felt compelled to spend money on it (partially because the game is just fine with what you get for free, and partially because I know the rates are so bad I won’t ever get anything I want by paying money anyway).

Yeah, having a sort of Sherpa to guide you really helps. Monster Hunter games are a lot so it’s difficult to just jump into.

Yep. I basically got helped along in World by friends who were long-time MH players who got me acclimated quickly. If you have buddies like that, it's a lifesaver.

For what it is worth, I liked it. It was definitely better than Whedon’s shit and it was a better take on the characters. I don’t get the hate on DCEU from sites like i09 and the like. I liked MOS and BvS for what it was and a lot of that was from the idea of Superman not portraying this forever boy scout. Kal El was…

Surprisingly not; he actually dials it back quite a bit and emphasizes their heroism

I want Mike Jones.*

I didn’t realize Sakurai had such trash tier taste in waifus.

The FIRST ending of ARR is kinda a letdown...the second ending tho...hoboy you’re in for a treat. Just gotta slog thru some kinda boring patch content to get there.

You’re in the weakest stretch of the game, just push through. The “cliffhanger” the ARR content ends on is phenomenal. And then it’s pretty smooth sailing from then on through the next 3 expansions.

I’m now mired in the long stretch of quests between the end of ARR and the beginning of Heavensward and it’s been rough, slow, and boring.

I did my first playthrough of AR back in September/October and got to the in-between ARR and Heavenward stuff where you are now and just absolutely dropped the game. And that was after the developers rebalanced ARR and pre-Heavensward stuff. I thought the final dungeon sucked for similar reasons, and my interest in…

I’d also love to see this. I also don’t get the broadly negative consensus from Kotaku towards this release. It stings that it’s a re-release, but I still think it’s a stellar entry - and I say that as someone who isn’t a fan of the post-SNES 2D entries/art style.

Unavailable for purchase. If you’ve already bought them and they took them away, people would burn Nintendo HQ to the ground.

I like to think they’ll make the games available for purchase individually, probably $20 each, but who knows. I’m convinced this is just a marketing ploy to drive up sales for the financial…

I own the game actually on my PS4. If i run out of time, I’m leaning very close to just buying it outright on my xbox. But i like the idea of a timed challenge and it’s been so long since i’ve played this game is basically brand new to me so it’s fun and interesting for me to rediscover it again. It’s one of those…
