It’s not “stupid”. How Apple’s competitors have implemented this “feature” is certainly stupid and gimmicky, but that’s now how Apple will do it.

“There” “Were” “others” “games?”

Can I just say that while I sympathize with you, that is one of the most beautiful cracks I’ve seen.

If you liked the others you’ll like this.

If you liked those ones you’ll love Hitman (2016). I played the crap out of Blood Money, Silent Assassin everything, etc. and absolutely loved this.

The original voice actor is in the game. And there is a ton of replay value to it. When the intro pack came out I put in 10 hours on just the first 2 missions.

how does that in anyway address the difference in behavior exhibited by the staff?

Yeah, just lets forget about how Novack spoke about how she was treated compared to Baldwin, and just dwell on the fact that YOU’VE experienced flight issues and their experiences aren’t valid.

I just want to say I appreciate the work you’re doing in these comment threads. You are appreciated.

He listed games that could realistically be included. Both Conker’s, Banjo Kazooie, and Perfect Dark are owned by Microsoft. They would rather that you buy this instead of a N64 Classic.

yeah, disconnecting that beast to put the SSD in is nerve racking, but so worth it

I imagine that when you belong to the kind of shallow, narcissistic world that the Kardashian clan has built for themselves then the smallest bit of criticism must be really hard to take.

“Two large eyes = emotional attraction and communication.”

If you make a game about bringing the galaxy together to fight a single, powerful enemy, then that should mean something.

yes they are, by a boat load.

It’s a fine game. I might even go as far as to say it’s a great game. People are bagging it because it isn’t WITCHER 4 IN SPACE! Not everyone is going to love it, and that’s fine, but the hate its been getting is unfair IMO.

Drew Karpyshyn’s stellar writing on the first Mass Effect was the trilogy’s saving grace. Even after he left, and the writing went downhill, they were still building on the bones he left behind, and that was enough to carry them over the finish line (although not without some major struggles).

Was it hard to write this, Patrick? It was kinda tough to read - not in terms of the quality of the writing, which is quite good, but the feelings that emerged. I thought our parents and grandparents would be the last generations to need this kind of info.

Wow do I hate gamers like this. I know there are bad apples in every kind of hobby/fandom/whatever, but man oh man is this particular brand of bullshit getting way too common for my liking.

Do your early impressions make you feel as though you’ll be drawn into the story like the rest of the games?
