aw nuts McConnaughey’s shortin out again

An assertion so insane and absurd it has been observed time and time again by almost everyone who doesn’t blame bad news of the allegedly “liberal medias,” as in the media mostly owned by members of the Murdoch clan.

It really annoys me that they didn’t stick with Trevor Einhorn, he was amazing in The Magicians and I’d much rather have seen him take on the role than a newcomer.

I recently learned that The Ninth Configuration is an Exorcist spin-off as one of the inmates appears briefly in the original film.

I think what bothers me more is how these RPG relationship simulators always seem to center on the protagonist. Sure, you’re literally the one driving the action, but it always gives the impression that the NPCs have no lives outside you. I’d like to see an RPG that has unseen stats/flags in the background, either…

Pretty awful. Sexist, classist, ableist. A disgusting comment.

I am so surprised at that comment that I’m wondering if that isn’t a hacked account, but then the comments preceding it (and after it) are worse.

As I stated to the commenter prior to you, I’m replying sincerely and not to offend you, but your comment is hateful. At home, wherever you are, in your real life and not within the illusory anonymous confines of the internet, ask yourself, how is speaking and thinking about women that way going for you in actual…

I’m replying sincerely and not to offend you, but your comment is hateful. It reflects more on the content of your character than hers, that you would choose to have sex with a woman who you find pitiful and have no respect for (see comment that you “just go with because she’s probably down for anything”). In more…

You mean a storyline where a brand new miner is sent on the most dangerous retrieval mission, has a vision, and is suddenly the chosen one who’s given a ship and whisked away on a grand adventure (within the first 5 minutes!) isn’t great writing? 

The problem is that BGS is moving away from what made their games good. They used to be about big, detailed, handcrafted worlds that were fun to explore. With Starfield, BGS has focused on quantity over quality and that’s hurt the exploration gameplay. Exploring is now tedious due to the big, barren planets you have…

The problem is bethesdas rpgs are so out of date you can tell its been the same formula for 20 years.

Eh, Starfield’s skill tree has a lot of boring incremental upgrades. The fact that you have to unlock skill tiers by doing grindy bullshit isn’t great either. Basically means you either have to sit on your skill points or spend them on stuff you don’t really want.

Baldur’s Gate 3 would like a word with you. I guess it isn’t technically open-world but neither is Starfield since it has tons of instanced content. When it comes to RPGs, BG3 easily puts both Cyberpunk and Starfield to shame.

Like you can become archmage of the guild and sure it’ll be aknowledged within the questline.... and barely anywhere else ever because the other siloed factions/questlines couldn’t care less and are absolutely not written to aknowledge the choices and achievements you make *outside* of these factions and questlines.

Seconding that.... I’d be tempted to debate the “writing” aspect in modern Bethesda games. Not that there isn’t bits of questlines here and there that aren’t really good but how the *structure* of the world kind of negate a lot of it in my opinion after playing these games for a while(I’d actually purchased Skyrim on…

I’m one of the people who has been pretty harsh on the game, but I think you’ve nailed the whole deal here as well as I’ve heard anyone do thus far.

It’s a comfort-food game for many, familiar, safe, for many it was never going to set the world on fire, it’s just another Bethesda game, in space.

I will give Grease this: “Beauty School Dropout” is a great number.

I’ll never forget the massive letdown that is AV Club: The Kinja Years.
