This is really interesting, thanks for the in depth explanation!

It’s a title! Think of it as roughly analogous to “sensei” in this kind of story.

I’m glad you asked this, because I’d seen the same thing. And while I figured it was bullshit (because with those people, it always is) I couldn’t help but wonder if this time there was something to it.

I am super excited for this game, to the point where I may even buy it with my next paycheck (and I have such a large backlog that I never buy $60 games when they’re new).

Indeed, I really like this article and think it makes good points, and really don’t understand why it’s getting flack from anyone here. But implying that Ex Machina dehumanizes Kyoko is just a complete misread of that film. The actions of the characters within the film notwithstanding, Kyoko and Ava, the other robot,…

As a great lover of rodents, rats in particular, I cannot agree with your first choice on this list, though I respect your opinion. Alas, I have not heard of the other Pokemon here, but I think this stonjurner thing looks funny.

“From a certain point of view,” nice.

Maybe! I was always told by people that the game was great because Kreia makes good points so... I dunno, take that for what it’s worth.

I always thought Kreia was a little too Ayn Rand to take seriously, and that and the unfinished nature of the game more than the bugs themselves made it hard for me to appreciate KotOR 2 as much as I wanted to, especially as a huge fan of Black Isle who wanted to see what Obsidian could do. I’ve been wanting to replay…

While I think I would have preferred something more like a cat based adventure game, just being able to play as a sweet lil’ kitty cat is probably gonna help me overlook any flaws in this game. Still, I appreciate this article for tempering my expectations!

Cat!

I really like FPS games but they tend to give me motion sickness. I had to simply give up on Amnesia: The Dark Descent back in the day, and I still haven’t beaten Doom 2016 because I can only play for about 20 minutes at a time.

I, for one, am just disappointed that you aren’t Greg Kinnear!

Their Lorax movie was much the same. They very clearly do not intend their movies to be ones you think about afterward, which really says a lot about how much value they have (it’s none).

I admit, this sort of thing does not fill me with hope. I am perhaps just intransigent, but I’m still sad that the series has turned away from turn-based combat, and going “darker and edgier,” well, you know. Sometimes that really can make for a more interesting and mature story. And sometimes it just ends up feeling…

I can only hope this will be as entertainingly awful as the ‘93 movie. Given that Illumination’s bread and butter is more dull blandness, I’m worried that it just won’t suck in that entertaining a fashion, but fingers crossed!

I don’t know why, but I find this style of gameplay boring. It’s a shame, because I really love the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel, but could never get into Dynasty Warriors; I love Zelda, but couldn’t get into Hyrule Warriors; and as much as I love Three Houses, I can’t imagine I’ll have any more luck this time…

Hah, that thought occurred to me as well!

Man, I would give anything for Vagabond to come back. Was that 2008 art gallery a worthy ending? I’ve heard mixed things about the “epilogue” but haven’t yet checked it out myself.

I never knew that the best Batman is gay, but that makes me incredibly happy.
