just because you add something to another work does not mean that you can call it “original” depending on the amount the work can be considered a derivative work and is still owned by the original artist. fanart is derivative work as example. If I drew Pikachu with a fancy hat even if that hat is original and SUPER…

Personally, it would be fine if these were homages / inspired by, etc.

I suppose they chose walking as the metric because using other things makes this look like a bad thing. Like the fact that I could watch all 23 seasons of Law & Order Special Victims Unit in less time than it would take to complete this game. Yep, every single episode in existence. Two decades’ worth of shows, all…

AAA devs please stop

Nope... too long for me. I can’t stop myself from trying to complete as much as I can of side quests and whatnot. It’s slowed down my time with AC Odyssey so much that I keep finding it hard to return to. I end up being pulled away from the story for so long that I eventually just give the game up.

Rite of passage, not right-of-passage. I don’t believe it needs to be hyphenated either.

“Lifestyle choice” is just that though. I enjoy gaming, but I enjoy other things as well. Those hundreds to thousand’ish dollars saved not buying the newest consoles and games can be put towards other hobbies. I’m not “missing out” by not being caught up in the drama that seems to surround every new release, AND I get…

Yeah, like you have to actively the skip the cutscenes to not be aware who is the best option for each subsection. When I played the game through the first time years ago I got through it without losing anyone. Although this is another example of the mythologization of ME2.

one that’s so maze-like in its possible outcomes

Yup. Nine out of every ten players made it through Mass Effect 2’s final mission with everyone alive. In a mission that functions by design to have you lose some party members—one that’s so maze-like in its possible outcomes you basically need a byzantine flowchart to properly navigate every key decision.

What don't you understand about personal preferences and taste? It's not rocket science. What's boring to.you is fun to someone else and vice versa. 

They have absolutely no claim.

I don’t disagree, I’m just amused by the fact that this is the 4th post today about something wrong with these games.

You guys really hate these remasters

Yeah this data feels kinda useless.

Some caveats: The ranking is based on cumulative hours played across the playerbase, not on total number of players. (According to Ryan, PS5 players clocked a cumulative 4.6 billion hours.)

Gets job in August, leaves by December. “It’s because things are going almost TOO well here!”, she stated, sweating very heavily for some reason.

Put this kicker in the goddamned Smithsonian already.

“Things aren’t going to get better, they’re going to get great!” - immediately grabs coat and sprints from office.
