I always preferred Crash to this series, though the gliding/headbutting mechanics were very satisfying. I always felt bad about roasting the sheep. :/

Rather presumptuous comment there, on several levels.
I know that firsthand, and very much so.

Can confirm that this is what living on the Gulf Coast is like.

Is it just me or is Keighley kinda hot now with the graying hair?

Everything about being a streamer sounds hellish to me. Pretending to be enthusiastic while playing the same damn games 7 days a week for 8 hours a day while entitled teenagers constantly barrage you with chat memes, requests, and abuse sounds shittier than so many jobs out there.

This game will be “fun” to some people and “engaging” to others. I fell into the latter category on the last game, but I also don’t play that many violent shooter games. To me, the violence was visceral and frightening and totally earned by the story and the world. The feeling after combat was always one of relief,…

This list would only be complete with K. Rool and Kiefer Sutherland.

These costumes are nicely made, but man. The furry/mossy merkins are just so ridiculous.

I’m curious to see if this game can recover from all the bad will garnered by its DLC plan. Maining a team of Tager and Waldstein is pretty tempting, but I’m still on the fence.

This is an issue that I, as an imperfect feminist, struggle with.
I’m not going to defend Cage’s games because I don’t particularly care for his storytelling. But in more of a general sense, is it wrong to imperil female characters disproportionately when that unbalance exists in life?

Yeah, he made no mention of being homeless as a kid in that recent documentary, nor have I heard story that elsewhere.

The Street Fighter movie is more entertaining than half the blockbusters getting shoved out the door these days.

Yeah, it’s crap. But it’s crap with a sense of humor about itself. It’s a lumpy fruitcake that never should have been made, but it’s memorably bad, and I’m glad it exists.

Gotta catch ‘em all!
(because their parents won’t)
Before they fall!

I still love Third Strike. I know a lot of people took issue with the HD Remix balancing of SF2, but I’d have enjoyed an attempt at rebalancing that game.
(basically nerfing Chun and Ken and buffing Q, Necro, Hugo)

There is no way that overpopulation, pollution, and Russia/China tensions won’t still be a thing in 2038. What you call lazy world building I call the crushingly depressingly yet inevitable future that will slowly strangle us all.

Awesome review tho. :)

“I wish I was there.”
Wait...what? You wish you were the baby? In the womb of this woman you’re talking to? WHAT??
I am so confused.

Interesting, but claiming territories and the resources upon them are common to most vertebrates. Rejecting “I own this” as a concept is vastly unnatural as a concept. (which is what makes it so interesting and impractical in the real world)

Fighting game players enjoy fun and know enough about the game to intuit when some new tech is being shown. We like our commentators to have fun along with us during hype moments.

Go back to Settlers of Cattan, you tweed-wearing killjoy.

Dang. Sorry to see you go, but glad to have had you here for so long.

To answer the headline:
yes.
