I think the lesson here is two fold.

I think it’s having Hulk’s weakness be getting less angry. Something like, a meter for his rage and boredom. If you’re not actively in combat, you’re slowly turning into Bruce, but as you fight your hulk gets stronger and stronger. Space out the sections so that you’re trying to conserve enough rage to move forward.

Xbox gamers with GamePass who may have sat out Avengers when it launched?

The “endgame” debate is a little weird to me. There’s so many fun games to play, why would I obsessively play one for minor stat increases? If a game gives me a solid 20, 30, 40 hours of enjoyment I am probably ok to move on to something new anyway.

Good point, things worked out just fine for Edsel!

Seems kinda fucked up to reveal an ‘endgame’ plot twist of a full game length postgame as the opening paragraph of a review

But is that twist the exact same ones from the past half a dozen Tales games? The problem I have with the series is that the gameplay is always great, but they are basically using the exact same script, thus nothing new to look forward.

I feel like you shouldn’t be talking about plot structure in your introduction. I get you feel the story is so clichéd you can describe the story beats openly but players looking to give the game a shot deserve to experience the narrative unfold at its own pace for better or worse.

I picked up the game after your preview and I have to say I really really like it. All the streamlined systems have cut away basically all that which I hated most about Zestiria and Berseria, while keeping the improvements those games made over Xillia. So far it might even be rivaling Vesperia as my favorite in the…

I’m in the middle of downloading it right now through Steam. All of the complaints about the game are things I rather enjoy...and I’m a huge Tails fan...so this is just the gravy train as far as I’m concerned

I only just got to the second city in that ice/snow area...Rinwell and Shionne are both driving me crazy. Cant even compliment one another without it turning into something.

I’m only about halfway through, but so far Arise might have the weakest plot in the series, and the revelation that you mentioned about Renan society is absolutely not surprising, considering the way things have gone. I’m not expecting it to get better, either. I like the cast, but mutual mistrust and bickering over…

It’s subtle, but this:

He said a little more in the press conference afterward. Apparently during Wimbledon while trying to sleep he started to wonder what kind of celebration if any he would do in case he won the title. The trolly “dead fish” Fifa celebration came to mind. He shared the idea with some other players (on the ATP tour there…

That last one made me twitch... I abhor cutscene skippers (unless it has already been seen, then skipping is a godsend)

Bad Batch is largely built off prequel-era worldbuilding, I would argue.

Because it’s easy bait. The prequels aren’t anywhere near as good as they should have been, but they’re significantly more watchable than four out of the five Disney films and Episode 1 alone has enriched the universe more than the entire Sequel Trilogy put together.

pod racer 1 is the best star wars video game period.

Why bash the prequels? They generated more content and worldbuilding to star wars than Disney has done yet. I dont get these star wars “fans” that somehow dislike more than 50% of star wars’ entirety lol. Hard to take this article seriously when u make such a kiddie remark off the bat. Why cant u guys be proper…
