The “mixed feelings” in the title come off more as overwhelmed ambivalence and fatigue in the article, than like you truly have had a mixed experience with good and bad game elements. Again and again and again you bring up things that seem subjectively good, and then qualify that by saying they left you cold,…

This isnt a review of a game, it’s an editorial. Maybe the fact you can’t even discern that is proof enough you weren’t paying attention in the 80s. 

“I lived them, it wasn’t so bad” - probably because you’re the exact type of person Reagan and his administration liked - a white, straight, neurotypical , middle class American man. I know it’s the big scary no-no word these days, but y’know what that’s called? Privilege. It’s best you start recognizing you lived a…

I just think that everyone, everywhere, that has a lick of sense is burned out. The US is currently in a death march to November, and no matter the results the world will change.

The Twitch channel is a recruiting tool for the Navy, it’s not there as a debate outlet. So it’s to be expected that any toxic questions get a soft response. Also, it’s easy for lightly educated kids to sit behind a keyboard and throw out claims of “war crimes” without needing to answer for context or validity. In the…

“It concludes with an unrelated but unsubtle political message: “TRUMP 2020.”

“Loris said he’s a Trump supporter . . .”

“Gosh, if you care so much about your party and have to yell at some random dude who broke in, it’s stupid. You can’t just eat around it? It’s your fault you didn’t buy more locks for your back door. Why are you so easily offended?”

I for one am just shocked to find out that yet another conservative is a sociopathic shit that represents the worst of humanity.

I’m just so extremely surprised. How can this POSSIBLY keep happening? How can we keep getting confirmation of that fact? It’s just boggles the mind I tell you!

“If you care about a game and are willing to go and spam dislike some random dude on the internet because you cant play it for 3 minutes, it’s stupid.”

There’s a free trial, not sure how high the level goes now. Also if you do subscribe then that includes everything except the latest expansion, so you could feasibly level a character for a bit and see if you like the older content before buying the expansion.

To be fair, most of the franchises that have shown up have basically already turned themselves into jokes long before showing up in MK.

It’s like a microcosm of MAGAtards. 

She’s definitely a transphobe. That being said, what are you all hoping for? Are you seriously imagining a scenario where she licenses a multi-million dollar video game of her IP and somehow not get paid? Sack up. Either you say goodbye to Hogwarts in whatever form and actually stop buying the shit, or don’t, and stop…

hate speech is not an opinion.

Rowling’s views are bigoted, ignorant and hateful but they are still opinions. And people have the right to have their own opinions.

That said, your opinions should not and will not shield you from criticism and consequences.

Rowling is recieving a lot of blowback and absolutely should get more heaped onto the pile,…

TL;DR. I just immediately check out when I read a sentence that begins with

No, we can’t all be “honest” about the “fact” that BG&E was overrated, because it’s not a fact. You do realize that it’s not necessary to shit on the man’s past work to disapprove of his behavior, right? The two aren’t linked.

The concerns about BG&E2, however, are more valid.

It’s certainly nostalgic to see something that’s SO eerily similar to Halo:CE, and I think that’s cool, but man... That gameplay doesn’t even look half as fun as Destiny, or Titanfall 2, or Doom. If they’re trying to get back to a more simple, nuts and bolts combat system, I appreciate the gesture, and I hope I’m…

It would be more like watching the original Star Wars trilogy, and then watching a separate trilogy told largely from the POV of Darth Vader - including explaining his motivations and background. But they wouldn’t do that, and hordes of ravenous fanboys would never proclaim such a hypothetical trilogy as masterpieces…
