I quit the God of War series after the “pushing the crate” bit in the first level of the first game.

On the one hand, they gotta do what they gotta do, and as long as that doesn’t mean they’ll stop making actual games in favor of mobile shit then whatevs.

That’s so wizard!

Liked: for the sheer amount of characters to follow and things going on, the movie was shockingly coherent.

YES THIS EXACTLY.

I think the problem is it’s just so obviously faked. Like, you KNOW that’s not how Tom Hardy is supposed to sound, and it’s just really, really unnatural. Like Benedict Cumberbatch’s Dr. Strange voice (well, until it hits you that he’s doing a bang-on Tom Selleck impersonation, and then it kind of works, but it’s…

Well whatever it is, it’s painfully bad.

Yeah, that was unpleasantly jarring. As is Tom Hardy’s pants-shittingly awful attempt at a New York accent.

And I’m still probably not going to have finished it by then, which will make me wish that I would have stuck to my guns and waited. Then again I did snag it on PS4 for all of $1.50 so can’t really argue I suppose.

Huh, that actually makes a lot of sense.

Mostly unrelated, but haven’t seen this mentioned anywhere. Speaking of things that can be done with the Joycons, we were playing the bonus level on Kirby the other day and at the end it uses the precision of the HD rumble to play music with the vibration. Mind was a bit blown, and I can’t wait to see what other crazy…

If they ever add starfighter mode to the single player arcade (seriously, how is this not at thing??) I’ll get it. If not....it was a decent rental, at least.

Golden Axe or GTFO.

I know, right?

I have to admit I’ve found the advice in the past few columns...problematic, but everything here is goddamn SPOT ON.

This is easily the most correct take that has ever been taken.

OOOH! I’ve been jacked for this for a good while. The only reason I’m not gonna preorder is because I’m afraid they’re going to ruin it and pull a Miles Morales bait and switch, so waiting to confirm.

Exactly. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Mario 1: the music is messed up (seriously, the SMB overworld theme is THE most iconic song in all of gaming, and they got it wrong? WTF?), the new music in the underground sections of regular levels sucked, never liked the new backgrounds of the underground levels.

Apart from the first one that was just a clone of Adventure of Link which was kind of decent, the Adventure Time games have generally been pretty garbage, so.....
