The expectations surrounding the quality level of these series has gone up exponentially, especially in the past decade. As another commenter noted, these are essentially 8-10 hour movies. Many big budget movies have 2-3 year development cycles and they’re only around 2 hours long.

It’s always taken a minimum of 2-3 years to turnaround a blockbuster theatrical sequel, and those never run more than 3 hours. With the move towards treating a season of serialized television more like a 10 hour movie, it makes sense that the turnaround time would increase to be more in line with theatrical standards.…

You can play the PS4 version on the PS5 with cloud save data...

I daily carry a small flashlight (slightly larger than a typical dry-erase marker) that can can put out far more light than my smartphone, and run for 30 hours straight while doing so. If I kick the flashlight up to max brightness it will still run for over an hour, while being able to illuminate objects over 200…

Alan has a smartphone in the first game. Honestly, if you know a lot of outdoorsy people, they still have flashlights. It’s one thing to have a dinky little flashlight, but hiking-outdoorsy people still like their big heavy duty flashlights.

You and your family sound like assholes. 

Welp, that’s a nice story about you and your whole family showing zero respect to the people around you. They didn’t ask you to leave or be quiet, they asked you to keep your voices down, to a normal conversation level that one does when in public.

I read this earlier. Total abuse of authority on the cops who issued the citation. Noise/nuisance ordinances almost always pertain to car stereos, loud music, or in the case of a department dwelling, loud arguing neighbors. I could not tell if the officers heard her or took the word of the white woman. Unless Michigan…

That didn’t work out like that for MS, Windows, and IE.

Cool with me. I’ll stick to Android. 

At what point does Apple’s wall end up screwing with them? If they keep huge things like Fortnite and games streaming out, eventually they’re going to have a longer and longer list of popular things that people want, but won’t be able to use on Apple products. Aren’t these the first steps down the road to losing users?

…

Surely apple will succeed where others have failed by adding extra steps to the process for game companies.

So was Hitler’s, but at least Adolf could form a coherent sentence. 

I mean, you could just keep playing the original. I was impressed by the combat on this.

God, I miss the combat from FFXIII. Just give me more of that without the 15 hours of tutorial on the front end.

HOLY SHIT!

Here comes the fucking douchebag that thinks his crippling social awkwardness qualifies him to speak on all types of mental health issues. 

Wa-D.D. Driver sums it up perfectly with this rhetorical question:

This is just...sad and pathetic. And arguably much, much worse than what originally happened to this person because he actually made this other guy feel like he had a good friend before getting his revenge.

I mean, that guy was a troll, but this guy is a sociopath. If I were that troll, I’d sleep with one eye open for the rest of my life.
