Floored by this news.

RIP to the king. Wakanda forever!

I must say I appreciate this article. This is good journalism and puts a lot of the trailer into context.

Didn’t take long for the dipshits to appear complaining about this article being “political” when it’s commenting on a game that is deliberately portraying cold war politics for fun.

Some people need to spend less time on the internet. 

Holy fuck, I actually missed the part where he suggested that Will Smith did a better job with the character than Robin Williams. That is batshit insane. I withdraw my original compliment about the article, it has officially lost all credibility!

Yea it’s frustrating to see the Will Smith praise (not just from Tom, but many people) when he is so clearly imitating Williams, with only a few spots of Fresh Prince sprinkled in to make it seem like he made it his own.

Yeah, that ludicrous hot take really undermines what was otherwise a pretty interesting article. Thanks to last year’s lackluster remake, we have now seen what Aladdin would be like without Robin Williams, and the fact that it seems so completely empty and devoid of life without his manic pop culture riffing should…

“It’s hard to picture how Aladdin might work if it didn’t have Robin Williams in full meta-frenzy, throwing air quotes over everything. I think it might be a better film, though.”

On the one hand, if you don’t like any of Robin Williams’s stand-up I don’t really know what to tell you, but on the other, Hook is absolutely the worst movie I ever tried to like in an effort to get a girl to think I was good enough for her, so in conclusion this piece is a land of contrasts.

I could not possibly agree more with this take. THAT sounds like GOTY material, not this pretentious misery. Your game sounds bold and brave and beautiful and capable of evoking fear and uncertainty and wonder in ways this one never could.

This is rehashed every time the game is brought up I know but man I really wish there was a third person option for this. I have the same issue with stealth in first person and in general, have an easier time with perception in 3rd. I absolutely love everything I’m seeing about this, and if it even hits 1/100th of the…

Well, for one thing, there are many mad scientist tropes. Mixing animals and humans, or reanimating dead tissue, etc. The choice of “pushing human limits” is almost certainly a joking reference to how hard his team works. I’m not here to tell you whether you should get mad about a dev joking about crunch. But what you…

You do realize if they explicitely put “our company makes us feel obligated to work 14 hours a day” they would get terminated, right? They need to do it tongue in cheek.

Given the general reactions I’ve seen around the net the last 24 hours, I don’t think that’s the case this time. I also don’t think it’s purely homophobes or gamergaters either. The first game resonated emotionally with a lot of people and it’s hard to watch characters you grew to love outright suffering.

Watched a bit of the game on YouTube.

Imagine how sad one’s life must be to review-bomb some game on Metacritic, esp. over some perceived “SJW”-ness or something.
