Wouldn’t know, it’s my first one. But it’s reminiscent of Nintendo’s deep distaste of letting friends play online with each other

I’m on PS4 too, and the whole scheme just isn’t flowing as smoothly as I think the devs originally pictured. The fact that items in launch can get hooked on door frames is such a PITA and I hate hate HATE how obscured and trippy the screen can get from explosions. I think I can see how it should be played, and I’m…

When the Repentance DLC came out for Binding of Isaac earlier, it got me thinking about the game all over again, so I pulled the trigger on the Afterbirth (note: NOT Afterbirth+) expansion (I’m on PS4, and only had the base version previous) to get more powerups and expand the base game a bit. Tbh, I’m a little…

Singin’ In The Rain is flat out entertainment from start to finish, while also being sensitive to the nuances of its story. I’ve found myself getting more and more into musicals lately (particularly Gene Kelly joints, because those long cuts of him performing extremely complicated choreography is entertaining in the…

Friends and I have been playing Mario 3D World lately and MY GOD that game is frustrating in co-op. There was a period where Nintendo REALLY didn’t know how to handle Mario in 3D (though I am a known hater of Mario 64), and it fucking shows. Odyssey was a breath of fresh air in that direction

No, no one does. Capcom is resolute in ignoring the cries of its many customers who just want another co op shooter. RE5 sucked much ass, but being able to play it with a friend was GREAT

Honestly, I get that. It starts slow; the first stage is surprisingly hard to get through IMO, the second stage doesn’t have the same mojo as the rest of the entire damn game, and the third stage doesn’t really show its glory until you explore EVERY. DAMN. INCH (there are several alternate paths you can take,…

I made a list of games that I have to beat before I can buy new ones, and that’s done a good job of keeping me in check. Like you said, multiplayer gets a pass (currently playing Monster Hunter World with a buddy), but having something written down that I refer back to has helped me a lot

Dishonored 2 is one of my favorite games of all time, like “Top 5 Games Ever”. Its level design, skills, and mechanics are all top fucking notch. Really can’t recommend that game enough

I would adore a game that zoomed in a bit more and provided a meaty single player experience. Give me the option of playing as a hero, either an established one or one they can then leverage into all their other media! Give me a skill tree, variety of foes, and a decent campaign and I’m all the way in

You bring up some extremely good and excellent plot points that happened, but the season-long rape of Sansa was utterly gratuitous and borderline exploitative. You’d have to pay me six figures’ worth of cash in a briefcase to get me to watch it again; I almost stopped watching the show after THAT rape scene that…

This is absolutely because Vin Diesel is extremely insecure about his height, so his sister-manager probably screamed at Justin Lin about it. It’s well-known they’ve had to chop up every single fight scene because Vin is like 3ft tall but doesn’t want to be shown as shorter than even literal giants like The Rock

I mean . . . he’s an overt Objectivist. His next movie is an adaptation of the Fountainhead

Let’s slow down on saying S5 isn’t as bad as people say. Good moments from a few non-horrifying-and-grotesque episodes don’t really redeem the entire setup

Good god. The MCU meets Doctor Who meets Control? Sign me all the way up

That’s what I’m doing. I’m still playing as if I don’t have it activated (so I still zoom around, pick up health, and generally try to keep my life bar topped), and that’s good enough for me. 

My theater laughed at that stuff too, but it wasn’t a good kind of laughter. It wasn’t delighted at what was on screen, it was bafflement that George thought it was a good idea

A friend and I both played the demo, and have been looking for a good co op game like this. But between the shitty humor and seemingly interminable skill tree, we ended up going with Monster Hunter World instead (which also has the side benefit of being way cheaper!)

Referencing Akira feels like extremely bad juju for the 2020 Olympics

Vaccinations are up, but so are cases, and there’s legitimate fear of an extremely real third wave to hit, which just so happens to coincide with an increase in indoor dining.
