“While recognising the need to retain top executives”

This isn’t a need. It’s the biggest lie in the corporate universe, in fact.

The difference between a “top executive” and “other executives” is literally a lottery pull. The vast majority of them are staggeringly incompetent or ineffectual people that just ride…

You mean you don’t think it was a good idea to hire Nintendo’s WiiU naming team?

Careful now, they're gonna be replaced with whoever runs Google's messaging apps strategy. 

Jesus christ somebody please fire the people in charge of naming their consoles.

The vertigo mechanic was an amazingly subtle thing that really helped to humanize Abby. Seeing her rough tough persona slink away in fear of nothing while little ole Lev is just jumping all around makes you see she isn’t as tough as she lets on.
I didn’t notice it at all until the part on the sky bridges. I assumed it…

There should be a special spot in hell for whoever recorded the gurgling sound effect for slitting throats. It’s as gross 25 hours in as it is early in the game.

It’s definitely a credit to the actors that they were able to capture so many different breath patterns especially in something so subtle as Abby’s vertigo. 

I do wonder how much of this might be driven by poor decisions by the higher-ups as well—everyone actually making the game may have wanted and tried to make something unique and good, but then the publishers/suits came along and blasted off every bit of personality so they could “appeal to everyone.” This feels too…

I was honestly surprised by the backlash because I didn’t think anybody cared about this game to begin with.

everyboyd expects the game to suck, and everybody’s pissed they’re going to miss out content on a bad game they’re ont going to play.

PlayStation’s landslide success in contrast to Xbox’s complete lack of it this gen has created an environment ripe for all sour grapes, all the time. Which is basically what we’re getting with every new announcement from Sony.

It amazes me how quickly people forgot that Marvel Ultimate Alliance had 8 characters exclusive to Xbox 360 that never came to the PS3. Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Hawkeye, Hulk, Magneto, Sabretooth, Venom, and Dr. Doom. I remember owning a PS3 at launch and was incredibly frustrated with this fact. I’m not saying that…

People also forget the EIGHT EXCLUSIVE  characters on the 360 version of Ultimate Alliance 2.

The funny thing about all the bitching about Spider-Man being exclusive ti the playstation is that many of the articles are talking like this has NEVER happened before. As a matter of fact a couple have specifically stated as much about there NEVER being a character DLC exclusive to a console before. And I am like, um…

Not to mention the biggest initial turn off for me: the aesthetic look. It should have been more cartoonish. They’re clearly going for the MCU look, but that means when I see Thor, for example, I expect Chris Hemsworth. Not seeing him, or hearing RDJ as Iron Man, gives me strong uncanny valley vibes.

if this even happens, because in the case of Anthem, we’re still waiting

I’ve been playing this for a few hours and I’ve been laughing like a maniac. It’s fun in pure, unfiltered form.

If you told me that footage was from an xbox 360 halo game I would have believed you, and then yawned.

I loved the fight too. It was intense and all I wanted to do was survive. When that thing came off the other thing, I almost s#$t myself (figuratively speaking of course) and the way I took it down by frantically running and trapping myself in a room with 1 exit and unloading my final 2 pistol rounds right before it…

Yeah Michael Mando was responsible for the super charismatic villain trend that Far Cry has run with ever since. I don’t think anyone’s topped him yet. Giancarlo Esposito could though, he’s got a great low key menacing vibe.
