I find it incredibly morbid that in his final role as Batman you’re tasked with killing him in a soulless live service money pit.

Battle passes for non-competitive multiplayer games just do not work. I mean, they suck for those too. But the fact that they’re just artificial replayability systems is just all the more evident here.

Jesus Christ, are you intentionally missing my point that most people already have a phone to use? 9 out of 10 people aren’t going to have to go out and buy a phone just to use with one of these attachments. For that one person obviously the Portal would make sense. I don’t know how I could be more clear on that…

It’s literally just two devices that snap together. They’re not “cobbled” together. All for half the price with all functionality that matters. That’s not an insignificant sum.

It feels like they’re not going to stop until there’s a P5 game for every genre. And I guess I’m just over P5 now because I just can’t get excited about this despite being a fan of the turn based strategy.

Pretty sure most people will already have a phone. And if they don’t then sure, by all means buy a Portal. Still overpriced for what it offers, but you do you.

Not surprising at all. It’s been a stacked year and Starfield just didn’t live up to the hype. Like, it’s fine, but it’s also so dull. The acting and dialogue is dull. The music is dull. The exploration is dull. The characters are dull. The combat is dull. Bugs aside the game was functional but I just felt so bored…

This. Save $100 and buy a Gamevice Flex. I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and it fits with a case. Which is another benefit over something like a Backbone (besides that things terrible ergonomics); you don’t have to take off your case every time you use it. I bought and returned a Backbone within a week because of this and…

I really thought I was going to get through this list without seeing Disturbed’s shitstain cover of Sound of Silence and I was ready to be so disappointed. But then there it was and Limp Bizkit’s Behind Blue Eyes was even there as a nice bonus.

Stumbles? Or course corrects? You be the judge. 

I can’t see how anything more $5 is justifiable for a skin by anybody with at least two brain cells to rub together. I don’t even care how much disposable income you have, have some damn principles, people. I refuse to believe that one skin costs as much to create as one third of a game’s development, so there’s no…

I don’t know who everybody is but it ain’t me. Give me Bully 2 or RDR3 (with private lobbies for online) instead. 

Add me to the “not that optimistic” camp. Live action just doesn’t feel right for Zelda. I feel as though there’s no small chance this ends up being Warcraft movie corny. Maybe I’m just being cynical but I’d be much more excited about an animated project in style of Studios Ghibli or Ponoc. If I had my way we’d get…

A) I love how petty this post is. I mean that. Saying that the reading and commenting experience on G/O Media sites has taken a massive shit in recent years would be an understatement.

You’re not alone. I legitimately hated Double Dash. It’s the only Mario Kart I don’t enjoy one bit. The physics definitely felt off and the two rider setup didn’t work at all for me. I couldn’t turn for shit in this game. Felt like no matter what I did I was skidding into the walls at every turn whether I was drifting…

Damn, so close. Just a few more degrees.

I hate that this bullshit franchise is what Microsoft fought so hard to acquire. It’s too much to ask for that people stop rewarding this  kind of laziness with they’re hard earned money. 

Yes, but it only applies to on foot controls. Horseback controls remain tap to sprint because Rockstar couldn’t be bothered to match the accessibility features of its money factory game.

Absolutely true. Nothing makes me roll my eyes harder than comments like SandSanta’s up there. 

As someone who hated M3GAN and cannot stand FNAF or it's fandom that is one crossover I would avoid at all costs. But people loved the former and the latter will make a bajillion buckers anyway so I'll just prepare myself for the inevitable 40 sequels.
