Yeah, my Xbox Series X is currently a pretty pricey paper weight (Games Pass only theoretically works if your day-and-date exclusives are worth playing...)

Exactly. I don’t care that how ubiquitous our internet connection is, the inability to play an offline game without the internet is unacceptable.

“It combined a console, streaming device, and Blu-Ray player into the original all-in-one media player. But like Marty McFly rocking out to “Johnny B Goode” in Back to the Future, people weren’t quite ready for that. Yet.”

The people who will run in with attempts at “told you so”s will ignore two major elements:

1) Even if it was the best thing ever, Microsoft did such an ATROCIOUS job explaining/marketing it, it never would have mattered. The case study of just how you could botch a console launch from every conceivable angle is…

I don’t get the backlash at all. The cutscenes and the stupid fetch quest are still there and Sony will gladly sell the experience to you on three different consoles.

I WANT the television show to expand the story behind the Joel and Ellie’s viewpoint in the way that only the television medium can. Otherwise, why not…

The Discourse around Abby was *so* fuckin’ weird, and a small section of TLOU community has literally never been able to recover their fractured psyche after Part 2 took away Joel Who Was Actually A Shitty Person But They Have No Media Literacy And So They Made Him Their Video Game Dad.

It sincerely pains me that, in 2023, we still have people who are hateful just because people have sexual orientations and gender identities that are different from their own. People are going to look back at our treatment of this community as a society and wonder how we could all be so ignorant. It is shameful.

I need someone to recommend Returnal to this dude right fucking now, if he hasn’t played it.

A class act as always! Reminds of David Lynch: made great genre-defining movies 20-30 years ago and now is enjoying his own personal hobbies (woodworking in Lynch’s case), making music, and generally being a positive person.

This is what happens when a company lets internet memes decide their business decisions.

Wow. When I watched that first trailer way back when, I was NOT expecting fucking incest to be the crux of the story.

I hope everyone with any intention to buy the game reads the spoilers so they know what they’re getting into

Thank you for the review. I don’t consider myself a shrinking violet in terms of gameplay (I’ll happily mow people down in SRIII or GTA V or whatever for hours at a time), but I have to wonder who the studio was aiming this kind of game at.

This review is proof that spoilers are actually good.

Wow, am I ever glad I read this.  

Thank you for this. I’d been hemming and hawing about whether to buy Twelve Minutes given all the reviews dancing around the edges of the fucked shit in this game, so I’m glad somebody finally just laid out the garbage for me.

What’s Kojima trying to pull on us?

Yeah my read on this is that we have someone trying everything they can think of to get noticed, then ending up way over their head with nothing worth showing. Probably should have finished the game before going all in on marketing tricks.

Why is it that people who call others “snowflakes” completely melt down when they don’t get their way?

God, the sound of Isaac’s health regenerating and his breathing coming online gives me fucking chills, can’t help it.
