The original story has one character who doesn’t talk, one who never shuts up, and that’s... about it. Everyone else (Sarge, etc.) have quips and maybe 4 minutes of dialogue total.

Just like Fort Condor, Bike Chase, Snowboarding, etc from the original FF7?

This is just another Kotaku journalist writing a “negativity piece” about something extremely popular just to get controversy traffic. None of these points hold any merit. 

This is a pretty silly take. No one complains that a novelization has more content than a film. The difference here is its really only as long as you choose to make it.

My mileage on how good MCU movies are is hit or miss, but I think frankly that was always the case and we now remember Phases 1 - 3 with rose colored glasses because they stuck the landing.

I don’t know about anyone else but I legit have “Superhero fatigue”-fatigue now.

You do realize that there is a middle ground between “everything Marvel does is amazing” and “there’s some superhero fatigue so everything Marvel makes is an unsalvageable mess,” right? Yes, recently some things have been underwhelming (Quantumania, Secret Invasion), and some have underperformed (The Marvels), but…

Was...this a myth? Does a single example of something disprove a general rule that Game Pass lowers overall sales which even Microsoft (and this article) acknowledges?

Myth not busted by 1 game that happens to be a Bethesda game on Steam.

That, at least, would follow traditional Gaelic spelling/pronunciation rules.

Such a non-story. Square Enix just confirmed that a character’s name is pronounced exactly how everyone has been pronouncing it from day 1.

Thank God someone thought of the children and made all these fairy tale characters public domain. What a hero. Now we’re finally free to use Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf as characters in our own works.

That abortion thing was so weirdly written too. It clearly wasn’t a character making that decision according to their personality and beliefs as presented in the work, it just swerved in out of nowhere as authorial commentary. There was a similar random thing with Israel is the later comics, iirc.

Since the article weirdly doesn’t mention anything about it: Willingham is a woman-hating far right asshole who was a huge industry insider for the Comicgate people, and Fables includes stuff like Snow White being forcibly impregnated by the Big Bad Wolf when they’re both drugged, who then refuses to let her have an…

And yet its still keeping up in sales numbers with the current gen, when its not beating them. While I agree Nintendo leave a lot of money on the table, I don’t think making TONS of money is a problem for them. They’re still making it hand over fist despite people who are very online complaining about its specs.

This is hilariously off the mark. 

Nah, that’s fully on you for turning the HUD off. 

you’re blaming the game because you somehow instantly turned off the HUD and then couldn’t figure out what to do?

I guess I’m in the minority here, but I thought that the Great Sky Island was a genius section of game design. It flowed naturally and felt like it trusted the player to figure it out, and left multiple paths forward for quite a few areas (including that last shrine, which I do admit was a doozy). But all of that was…

I dunno, I thought it was fine? It took me probably four or five hours total, and that included spending a while trying to figure out where the third shrine is. But I realized that there are clever suggestions in the environment for more quickly getting around - like after one of the shrines (#3?) there’s an area with…

internet is ridiculously horny.
