Nope. I misread the article and only noticed my mistake from responses. Thank you.

Most indie games are cheaper than your average AAA game and they don’t reach over 25 million players in a month. Palworld even beats popular free to play games in players.

Those aren’t mutually exclusive statements. The negative attention pre-dates its release.

I mean, it’s “fine”, sure. The animated version, which is right there, is still leaps and bounds better than just “fine” and that begs the question, who is this for?

why not happen at the beginning of the first episode of this new series?

The writing is awful, but I’m happy that fans pendulum’d you into enjoying it, I guess?

Huh, wow. Even if we assume the 10 million are ENTIRELY gamepass people (not likely, but probably the majority), Palworld still outsold both the Diamond and Pearl remakes and Legends Arceus, and was played by more people than bought Scarlet and Violet combined.

I know you’re gonna get some guff over this article being way more positive than John Walker’s review but I like that there isn’t a hive mind about having all material mirror the review.

This says: they remastered it well. The original review says

> It’s got the hallmarks of fascism because it is. While one can make the argument that it is subverting that idea, it’s an uphill battle (and Heinlein isn’t a particularly subtle writer).

You think? Aside from the fish species, Walleye is also a term for someone with crossed eyes where one eye faces away from the nose relative to the other. It’s in the dictionary and everything.

“Astronaut goes to space and comes back crazy” is a pretty old trope. It might just be that we’re finally seeing astronaut characters that are female. 

Well, yeah, they would report on it, they report on video games, not how well websites function. I’m not even defending their technical issues but do you seriously expect any website would publish an article specifically detailing all of their own technical flaws?

Do you think that the writers actually have any control over Kotaku technical limitations? Or that a game journalist shouldn’t talk about technical issues with the game he’s reviewing? This rationale makes no sense to me.

John Cleese who was born in 1939 is part of the post-war baby boom? Wait unless you mean the Sino-Tibetan War...

Right down to the animations, the interface, level design, basic shit like entering and leaving the ship’s cockpit. everything about that game is trying to stretch itself out to consume as much time as possible.

I understood your argument fine. It’s just an incorrect, bad argument, proven by the fact that you’re another person who somehow thinks these movies became blockbusters because they were “beloved by the comic reading audiences”—an audience that has not been large enough to make the two biggest comics companies…

This isn’t really new to Remake though—Cloud has always been able to summon Bahamut ZERO to fire lasers from low earth orbit, and yet unable to break the lock on a wooden door or whatever.

So you kids would rather have the finger huh?
