Is your actual argument that Free to Play games can’t ever be criticized because they’re free? Because... that’s incredibly foolish and no one (including yourself) ACTUALLY believes that.

I know you didn’t call Dark Souls controversial, that was directly my point. Objectively speaking, it’s a much more controversial game, it has caused a never ending debate/argument/etc in the gaming community by its existence/popularity/influence. Sekiro wasn’t controversial just because navel gazing Souls fans are…

Do you refer to Dark Souls as a controversial game because it is hated by a huge variety of players for being:

This article mentions Riot twice and the developer (Airship Syndicate) zero times. Which is especially uncool since this is openly a revision of the formula of that dev’s previous game. And also Riot sucks tremendously. Please do better.

“This announcement comes mere hours after I staked out the heroic, legendary stance that Halo Infinite’s battle pass is totally fine the way it is.”

No, there’s a huge difference. If you no longer are interested in the items on the old Battlepass, you can switch to the new one. If you ARE still interested, your $10 doesn’t end up in the trash, you can still earn the items at a slower pace. As someone who has had several Destiny 2 passes run out because I didn’t…

No, I’d rather they make GOOD decisions and think things through BEFORE making mistakes. Could you be any more of a strawman argument provider? Come on, son.

That decision that everyone told them was terrible and permanently destroyed all those weapons? They should get credit for realizing it was bad after ignoring all feedback for almost a year and then it slowly dawning on them the very obvious things everyone had been saying all along? Nah, that’s ridiculous. We’ll see…

You know that it won’t. Why would it do that? Why would they look at an opportunity to make literally unlimited money and go “nah... let’s be Nice!”

“The best state the game has ever been in” involved them destroying all of our saved up weapons for a decision they balked at following through with in less than 3 months? The best state involves them currently having deleted $80 worth of paid content, with a timer counting down the deletion of $40+ more? The game you…

You can play ESO in first person, though?

Is there an editorial mandate to get comments flowing in The Inventory posts, or are you just being ridiculous for no reason at all?

Sometimes controversial means “I, the writer, have a beef with this, but with a eyebrow raising word choice, can make it seem like this opinion is widely held.”

Sure, the game isn’t to the level of every other remake in the series, doesn’t have the content from Platinum, broke the difficulty, and is selling at full price but uh... good review. Yeah that uh... that seems bad Ethan. It seems real bad, actually!

The answer to that question is “not very cool.” Look into the history of Duke Nukem Forever. A game with ideas from 10 years ago will be very dated in a decade. Like, maybe you have an idea to build a base in a really unique, innovative way. By 10 years from now, multiple games have probably delivered on your idea,…

This would be one of those titles that falls into the issue of licensing, they talked about this issue (not this game) for missing games.

Seriously trying to argue the new games aren’t easier is delusional, I don’t know why you even attempted it. Your team all levels at a ridiculous rate even if you only use your starter the whole game, you get access to super moves or transformations that turn theoretically challenging battles into instant wins, they…

Home Alone 3 was a full theatrical release, recall.

Good Reviews have both in depth explanations AND catchy quotes that make people take an interest to read it in the first place. It’s just good writing for the audience, truly.

The review goes into detail about how the game is difficult and in what specific ways (a need for diverse and specific builds of demons). Please don’t react to a single quote as if it was the entire article. It is a useless comment to make, completely ignorant to the context of the discussion.
