Nothing on colonialism/anti-colonialism and Thor Ragnarok?  I’m surprised.  I know the movie’s funny, but there’s a lot there on the subject.

But D.va isn’t her name; it’s an alias. Just like Hammond/Wrecking Ball.

Just don’t call him ‘Hammy.’

What was the last unlicensed superhero game? The last one I can think of is the sequel to Freedom Force. Not that those games set sales records or anything....

Or X-Com, epic fantasy?  X-Com, Star Wars?  Seriously, why are there not X-Com ripoffs in every setting and genre of game?

Can someone take my money and just make X-Com, but with superheroes, already? I’ve been wanting that since before Freedom Force came out.

What makes you this way?

Well, that’s fair. There are a decent number of good licensed games.

Do it then.

This next tip will probably help you throughout your daily life: not all opinions are prefaced with the statement “in my opinion.” When I say Bethesda’s games are on par with screensavers for entertainment value, I’m stating an opinion (a hyperbolic one!). When people in your day to day life tell you—I’m assuming—that…

As the evidence continues to build, my opinion that you’re a jerk is definitely solidifying. Frankly, I’ll do what I like.

Do you understand the words you’re using? Is your sense of self worth so weak you become a raging asshole because someone doesn’t like a video game you like? I mean, I opened with the phrase: “unpopular opinion here,” and then you also suggest that your opinion of Bethesda games is that they’re objectively good. I’ve…

You are not right.

You deserve to be fought. The Phantom Menace is the best of the prequels, which is like deciding which kind of food poisoning is best. It’s full of racist caricatures and some of the most wooden dialogue and acting this side of an Ent amateur theatre production.

And so my interest in this game quietly dies. Maybe if you can switch between 1st and 3rd person point of view as you want, or if someone mods it into 3rd person on PC, otherwise, count me out. The FPS viewpoint has always felt like trying to navigate life while looking down a paper towel tube.

Just so we’re all on the same page, box office totals are almost never adjusted for inflation, as it’s just as meaningless a measure as box office rankings in the first place.

So because I don’t like Bethesda’s boring games, I’m going to like Anthem? Good guess, but try again in the other direction. Anthem looks like the last nail in Bioware’s coffin at this point.

The new Doom, the new Wolfensteins, and the Dishonored games aren’t made by Bethesda, they’re just published by Bethesda. I’ll stand by my original statement.

It’s been awhile, but didn’t Morrowind essentially have keyword search instead of an actual dialogue system? Like, you’d click on the keyword, and the npc would spew forth identical dialogue to everyone else with that keyword?

Unpopular opinion here, but has Bethesda ever made something that wasn’t a soulless husk of a game?
