New Super Mario Bros Wii had more originality than what I’m seeing here to be honest.

I’m sorry that hoping to see at least one thing new this game adds to the genre is too much to ask. This game is for gamers who don’t want any new experiences, apparently.

Yeah, but why settle for just more of what we had 20 years ago when there could be a blend of the familiar and the brand new? Maybe the game will surprise me when it comes out, but to me it doesn’t offer anything appealing outside of open 3D environments.

Yeah, actually. Did you not see Horizon Zero Dawn? That game was more than a year away and showed quite a bit of the game. Most game trailers for good, unique games show off what makes it good and unique. This game trailer showed off what made it adequate. Everything in this trailer has been done in Banjo or Mario…

Wow. Those character noises when they’re talking are insufferable, and I don’t mind the ones in Zelda.

“attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.”

Better to be average than to be a smug dick who looks down on others and berates them even when they cause no harm or offense to anyone.

You say pretentious; I say the general audiences are just getting used to better movies.

“Takes itself too seriously” typically means “tries to be profound but fails”.

Did you see Civil War? 90% of the comedy was in the airport fight scene. That movie went a long time between jokes. Certainly didn't have any slapstick that I remember.

I can tell you are good with words.

It’s not worth it. It could potentially be huge because the years have raised interest and expectation to some degree. But because it’s been so long, the game has to be brilliant and somewhat revolutionary, but also learning from more modern shooters (even while intentionally breaking off from them in significant…

You start with your lead character fairly developed, typically, but other characters get changed a lot and quite often in ways that make some aspect of the storytelling or characterization of the lead protagonist stronger. You set out with a purpose of telling a story, usually focusing on a character, and that story…

Do you honestly think Half-life 3 would be this huge amazing blow-out at this point? Twelve years after 2? No - the hype for that game has faded, and has been replaced by a meme, that meme being how badly everyone wants it.

Ooh, a dig at Call of Duty. Edgy.

You’re not a writer are you? You never begin writing a story with a perfectly and completely developed character. That’s part of the process.

Your “love” for putting words in quotes is what’s making you “seen” like a pompous douche. Just trying to “help”. Hope you have a “nice” day!

Just as backward as when people speaking negatively about “progressives”. It’s like they’re admitting progress is bad.

Got some canned haggis at home. The stuff in the states is never as good as the real stuff, but still good for some haggis, neeps, and tatties in whiskey cream sauce.

I suppose you see it as antagonistic, where I see it as a descriptor of antagonistic behavior. Just because it’s harsh doesn’t mean it’s aggressive. But way to continue to fail to address most of my points.
