I mean, it’s their impression from watching one episode. I think we can all understand that opinions change from week to week with episodic television. You can just not read the review if you want to wait until the first third is done…

To be fair it was the top selling game last year that wasn’t a Call of Duty game

I’d much rather have a delay and have everything working better! 

I would like to read a really deep dive into this show. What were the actuators like? How close did you have to get the monkey base (ie what was their POV when working it)? Was there any strategy or was it just luck? 

“They were introduced about 3.27 seconds after the underwhelming game found late success with its appearance on Microsoft’s Game Pass, and not long after the natural XP gain rates had been heavily nerfed. Fingers to chins.”

I completely agree. It’s not hard to listen to players, just to read social media 

Kind of a bummer in that it had some cool things like battles and progression, but ultimately you were just hunting for stickers which was kinda boring. 

Plenty of young people like HP. They made half a theme park about it. 

Because there’s no way to get the opinions of players without a grandstanding thing like this. I mean it’s not like there are networks where people can publicly voice their opinions or anything. 

My brain hurts from reading this. 

Who’s “Farah”? They’re suddenly mentioned with no explanation of who they are that I can see?

That time limit would definitely give me anxiety - good to know you can turn it off (ish). 

I did just that, and I have zero regrets. There’s SO MUCH to do that it’ll keep me busy for a year just gwtting caught up. 

Not to sound like a broken record, but the answer to all your questions remains - because that’s what they like. It might not make sense to you or you may not like it, but they like it. And fuck, if a Thai restaurant has a cheeseburger that’s better than their Thai food then i’ll get it. Sure a burger joint probably…

Well yes, if a bunch of people that worked at a Walmart opened a store like that does the same thing as Walmart, I’d expect it to be like a spin off of walmart and similar…to think otherwise would be some “hot-trashcan logic”, whatever that means.

I still think all the things you’re pointing out are relative - “dumbing down” is just your opinion. All your points still boil down to people liking something different than you. We can all ask those questions, because people like different things than we do, but it doesn’t make what they like objectively good or bad…

This “startup” is all made of people from the same company. It’s more of a spin-off….of a company that’s under multiple investigations for a massive amount of sexual harassment. It’s not some sort of rag-tag bunch of strangers who don’t know each other getting together to build something new.

Yes, this article needed to be written. 

You’re right, we really need to cut men some more slack…

Of course, but I would posit that the only reason to be amazed by it is to not understand that taste is relative and few things are objectively “good” or “bad”. All the things you mentioned are subjective from person to person.
