To Kotaku’s and your point, Chai’s first line in the reveal “Yup, that’s me!” is such an overused trope that I already got worried about the tone from the get go. I told myself, maybe they’re being tongue-in-cheek about it, and I had the luxury to try it out on Gamepass. The “trial” ended up being a 9-hour complete…

I was going to comment, like, how will they be able to do Last of Us 2 on HBO if Bella Ramsey is still a kid. Then the editor in my head told me to hold up a minute.

Looked up Ellie’s (possible?) age in TLOU2: 19 years old
Checked Ramsey’s: 19 years old

I would have seconded this, if only she had more screen time. Felt like a lot of her participation got cut. But I do agree, she’s a pretty awesome character.

This. To me, New Peter somehow seemed less expressive than the original. He maintained one facial expression for long periods of time. Only Keanu Reeves can get away with that!

Possible God of War Ragnarok spoilers below:


But wasn’t this the guy who played Heimdall? Heimdall was a very convincing younger man to me, he felt like an older teenager. Granted, more like your usual Hollywood version of a teenager, especially when he’s throwing lines with Atreus, but I doubt even Yuri Lowenthal can…

Edit to add: Just checked, and 19 of the characters are locked out for me, so more than half :/.

Man, I remember when Blizzard used to proudly say “It will be ready when it’s ready”. I found it so cool and ballsy of them to hold out on a release date when other companies would drop their half-baked product just to meet…

Better Call Phoenix. Think about it!

Challenge not accepted!

I do!

Good points! Honestly, was just making a playful joke on how some of the features outside of the RPG core were done by NMS already. But now that you mention, I agree that the tried-and-true Bethesda RPG gameplay is still going to be the main draw for the game.

Didn’t know about the handcrafted content claim, very…

Ever since the Starfield gameplay reveal, I’ve been wondering if Todd Howard and company get panic attacks every time No Man’s Sky announces a major update.

Glad to be of help! :D

Missed the Game Pass mention in the article; just editing to say that it’s a well-deserved achievement, great mix of nostalgia and newish gameplay.

Macross II is quite the headscratcher. Especially when one of the only things it had going for it - the animation quality - took a nosedive in the final episode.

That said, I still think the soundtrack is the best one overall to this day. Do You Remember Love maybe the best anime song of all time (arguably), but the…

I second After the Rain. Great characters and great imagery that really made an impact on me.

I hope not! Never been a fan of redoing stories since George Lucas made Greedo shoot first.

I wonder if they’ll retcon the surgery scene at the end to make it closer to Part 2's version.

Oh, man. I don’t even remember why I bought Tales from the Borderlands. I wasn’t especially fond of the main game. But man was I tearing up as the credits neared, wishing it would never end. I dunno how confident I feel about the details of this sequel, but I’d love to be proven wrong again.

I still get a kick out of knowing that the same guy who voiced/s Leonardo also did the original english dub for Kaneda from Akira

🤤 yes please
