All I want to know is if it has a “power” meter of any sort for when you fail a level that cuts you off from playing. Any game that wants to implement a system that actively makes it harder for me to play it, is an automatic pass from me.

Whatever else CBS has done with Star Trek in the last couple of years, they’ve managed to turn Discovery into a joke.

Meanwhile, watch The Expanse (Super good.) Dark Mater and Killjoys, not nearly as good as The Expanse but at least on par with Stargate SG-1. I’ve been binging DS9 for my Trek fix. This shit at CBS isn’t going to be good.

This kind of shit is why I immediately mute every single human being on voice chat in any online multiplayer game.

Definitely. I’d actually be disappointed if any of them did their jobs correctly in future GTAs.

I’m honestly surprised by the people saying they feel Harris captured playful whimsy. I felt his whole performance was bone dry. None of the scenes where whimsy was scripted (“Alas, earwax.”) were delivered with anything beyond rote reading. Different strokes, I guess.

It really bothers me the way people get sucked into the meta-narrative of a games development.

nooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooone giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiives a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

Wish I could un-see this.

This is the game that also gave us Noober, the non-essential NPC that is designed to pester you THIRTY-TWO TIMES.

Final Fantasy 13. Got to the part where the game finally opens up to be an actual final fantasy game and I was so completely comatose from the most boring RPG I’ve ever played I just stopped.

Any open world game that hides tangible in game rewards behind game bloating tedious “collect X amount of this item annoyingly scattered across the entire map” quests.

Arkham Knight is one of the WORST offenders of this. I never got to beat Riddler or see the true ending to the game because FUCK riddler trophiees and…

In the first Baldur’s Gate, there’s this area where you run into a nymph and the game forces you into a dialogue interaction, where no matter what you choose, the nymph will kiss the character she’s talking to, forcing them to instantly die. No save, no skill check, nothing; you just fucking die. 99% of the time, this…

I do thanks!

Well, you know, the entire main story quest of FFXIV.

Dragon Age Inquisition. I could be cute and say “All of it,” but I’m particularly thinking of the Shard Collector quest. Rarely have I invested so much time for so little payoff. It became a metaphor for the entire DAI experience to me: invest nearly 100 hours and find that none of it really pays off.

Not a big fan of Magicians, but I wasn’t thrilled by the books either.

That’s absurd. The Expanse is currently on SyFy! And even if you don’t think the Expanse is so good, which, I’ll admit, I could foresee another human being saying even if I do not agree, it’s got to be better than effin’ Tin Man.

Probably the same part that lets humanity’s first specter plastic his name all over the citadel stores in the form of second-rate endorsements for cheap weapon mods.
