I definitely dislike the core gameplay of Musou games. I dislike the recycling of stages, I dislike how little weight attacks have, and I dislike button mashing through hordes of mindless enemies. Combat feels cheap, half-baked, and outdated. It feels like an experience that was built around the limitations of…

I get it’s a joke most the time but I wish people would stop making the whole “threw my controller at my TV” comments.  It normalizes a behavior that is, frankly, childish and very much a sign of great anger management issues.   

The non-boss variants of these motherfuckers.

My biggest gripe with these games is always the big monster fights. These dragons and giants look cool and have wonderfully animated attacks, but if you’re fighting on foot you’re basically underneath it’s crotch, can’t see anything, and are rolling away the second you see a thigh start to twitch. It’s beyond silly.

The worst enemy of a postage stamp sized area (comparatively) of the map is the boss of the main attraction in said area? This is the content you guys are farming now?

After 150+ hours on it I’d agree.

Dumb as fuck. K. 

It’s a damned shame this is coming out when it is. I wanted to play it, but I can’t see myself choosing to start another 3rd person action game in a while after 100+ hours of Elden Ring. Not only is the game almost guaranteed to fare poorly in comparison, I also just kinda feel burnt out on the idea of such games now.

I like the character. And the initial boss fight setup is really epic. But the actual fight sucks.

Even with decent armor and vigor, he can two shot you pretty easily. Your helpers don’t really do much damage and die easily, while you’re barred from summing your actual good personal summons. And he has these huge area…

He might be saying he ‘wants to get caught’ so that the ‘exploit gets fixed’, but fucking up people’s games is not how to do that. Just because you say you have noble purpose doesn’t mean you aren’t being an asshole.

Luke, do you have any friends that are strippers? I suggest asking them what they think. Is it okay to have sex during a lunch break? What if it’s with a sex worker? What if you look at porn? Is that OK? Or is it only wrong if anyone else is there from the office?

I’m not crazy. I’m done with racists. One down, more to go. Next. 

Counterpoint:  77 years of being a racist piece of shit is more than he deserved.

come on man, don’t reduce me to that. if you can’t put things off in the real world for 1-3 minutes while you log out or warp somewhere, that’s the bigger issue than not being able to pause.

i just gave you actual solutions to all of your quandaries, not sure how that’s trolling. you’re trolling me if anything, because this isn’t actually a big deal for real.

I do really like Gregg Miller in some ways but dude is a kind of calculated phoney that really irks me. He’s like a much more likable Jimmy Fallon(Pete Holmes?) in that he has a fakeness to him that even you know he knows I laid on too thick. I wish Jeff Gerstmann was more mainstream because while he’s sometimes…

Yes, it’s called “Kill all the baddies in the immediate vicinity, then go hide in an obscure corner while you make your sandwich.”

Mitch McConnell is possibly the single most solidified roadblock to progress in this country. Kotick supporting him isn’t surprising but it’s damn annoying. It makes me want to punch him in the face.

*spends 15 seconds navigating to Cyberpunk 2077 in my library and clicking an install button* 

Yes and no. Yes, The Witcher 3 had a bumpy launch, bugs-wise. And if you play it today, you obviously miss out on the bugs - but you also experience a version of the game that has had major systems and menus tweaked or even entirely replaced - i.e. the menus are completely redesigned, stamina works differently (at…
