You joke, but I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what happened here. Some mandate from editorial saying “Every interview must have a fan interaction element”, and Shitty Gaming Site Stephen Glass just made them up because, to be fair to them, they don’t have any fans.

14 IS an amazingly rich and deep story. It does rely on learning another dimension’s version of physics to have a deep understanding of what’s going on. Luckily, it does a pretty good job of doing it in the context of the action-melodrama of the plot, instead of just tossing it all in a well-voiced encyclopedia a la…

For the same reason triple-A video game producers think they have to have the most realistic graphics for every video game: because they’re in a toxic co-dependent polycule with marketing and audience response, where spending the most money on a thing, regardless of how or why, is supposedly an indicator of how much…

The problem is that her loyalty mission comes pretty close to the end of the game, meaning it’s possible to feel pressured to complete the game before doing it, considering the lives of the Normandy crew are at stake. It also requires some of the higher (but by no means impossible) Paragon/Renegade rolls to complete…

It’s a Walk of Fame ceremony, not a family funeral, and Lourd was made executor of Fisher’s estate, not either of her siblings. There’s a reason Carrie Fisher made that decision, and as executor, Lourd actually needs to take her mother’s side, and only her mother’s side into account. It’s in fact her legal duty, not…

Perhaps not at the time, but I’m sure she isn’t particularly proud of the result.

Bob Odenkirk did Hot Ones a month or so ago, and he “revealed” something obvious that a lot of people seem not to know: most people who make bad movies know they made a bad movie. Do they know if it will be successful or popular? No,…

You mean they “somehow” flew away from the center of the nascent Empire to “safety”. Yeah, REAL clear sequence of events there, lol. As well, at some point in the proceeding twenty eight years, Beq lost Grogu and disappeared, and Grogu ended up in an egg on Arvala-7. That’s all we know so far. That’s a lot of…

Especially the remake.

Bruh, don’t give the 13 year old me hope that this gets made.

Also, please give the 40 year old me relief that this won’t get made.

It’s a natural sequence of events!
Like from Star Wars to Starcrash!
Or from Star Wars to Battle Beyond The Stars!
Or from Star Wars to the Star Wars prequels!
Damned Star Wars, they ruined Star Wars!

“Wow, Star Wars fans sure are a contentious people!”

You just made an enemy for LIFE... Day.

Sure. But if you called London Broil “burnt bovine ass cheek”, just because it’s true doesn’t make it less, well, less appetizing. Make me excited for a game if you want me to be, not desirous of checking into a rehab, lol.

Man, I hope they intended to turn me off of reading the article or playing the game with that headline. I just feel the life draining from my body thinking about someone planning to get me hooked on their product, and someone else actually being excited about that.

Exactly. As well, advertising the next Zelda game is like advertising the next Star Wars. All you have to do is post a vid every 3 months with a recognizable sound cue, and you make 100 million dollars. Why do more?

I’m pretty sure Brexit fucked up UK immigration systems for decades to come. I mean, they barely just avoided a sequel to The Troubles. For this, it was probably less dramatic and some mostly bureaucratic “you didn’t put the right date on form C” bullshit, but the immigration staff’s workload has geometrically…

I work now at a place that, because of a bit of required federal oversight that isn’t usual to most theatrical venues, is actually pretty stringent on safety stuff.

And the thing is?

It’s not that much more work. And we still have plenty of time. It’s so absurd how lazy we as a culture are when we’re literally willing…

Nah, they’re on here trying to say the DMs are fake. SMDH.

Fair.

And not every piece of media is good just because you like it, either compared to other media or even previous iterations of the same work.

See, Yoshi-P has almost the opposite opinion, especially where RPGs are concerned. There was an interview about FF16 where he was recently asked about JRPGs, and he visibly crumpled. https://www.eurogamer.net/final-fantasy-16-producer-naoki-yoshida-sparks-debate-the-term-jrpg-as-discriminatory

If I may sum up poorly,…
