Gameplay padding. It was so bad in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel that I gave up after two hours. Example:

We’re starting to enter Duke Nukem Forever territory here, people. It may be that we’re better off hoping that it never actually happens.

That’s silly. Foxes can’t use whips.

You know, all of Indy’s enemy big-bads get melted, head-sploded, turned to dust, et cetera. At some point you’d think that they’d pick up on the pattern.

That’s a fair point, but let me make two more:

Neat. I’ll wait nine months or so when that I can buy the real game, after it’s actually finished and all the content they leave out at launch comes in a discounted bundle.

Yeah, a lot of dissonance there. WWI is remembered as brutal and mostly pointless, a last gasp of the competitive European empires of the 19th century. It didn’t have the arguably clear good guy-bad guy stakes of WWII. So while I think Battlefield One is really interesting since the setting is so different than the…

I guess I haven’t. I find it very difficult to believe that someone can’t understand that there’s something wrong with having sex with an unconscious person. I’d assume that guy is saying “I didn’t know it was wrong to rape her” because it sounded better than “I wanted to rape her and she couldn’t stop me.”

I can understand why someone would feel the need to write a guide in the wake of all those assault stories. But at the same time, I don’t think it will help much.

I don’t think I’ve ever used a Mad Catz product that was worth the price. How does that company stay in business making batshit insane controllers and failing “microconsoles?”

It’s pretty clearly tthhe opening hallway scene where Vader is first seen, except one of the Rebel grunts somehow took his lightsaber and decapitated him.

“What... what the FUCK just happened?”

Yup. I remember the EGM writeups way back in the day. As someone who played Starcraft mainly for the story, I was incredibly excited to get into that universe on a ground level.

Irony. Shame. A Konami executive knows not these things.

I lived in Colorado for a couple of years, where any adult who’s not an ex-con can openly carry a gun without a license. (There are still places where you can’t, like K-12 schools and post offices, et cetera.) I think I saw someone openly carrying exactly one time. He looked like a cop or a military guy. It’s mostly…

Where’s the salt-and-pepper hair? One of the more interesting bits of Hanzo’s character design is that he’s middle-aged (and it’s important to the story, since he has history and leads a crime family). This character looks like she’s twenty.

Dead or Alive. That’s a weird name for a fetishistic volleyball game. But the name does reminds me of this really fast, brutal 3D fighter I used to play. I wonder what happened to it.

Sooo a cartoon allegory for World War II has one of the Axis powers anthropomorphized as the protagonist. And it’s not Japan, which would at least have been relatable for the audience.

The grea’er good.

I think we all know that she’s not the MOST hated Fallout 4 character.
