Nah, whenever Chadley’s not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, “Where’s Chadley?”

I sincerely hope that FF7 Reunion opens with a simple, no voice-over, white text on a black backgound that says.

“Chadley and Mai died and have returned to the planet”

And then the next game continues on as though they never existed.

In “defense” of Eidos Montreal, being an asshole to other people is a very French Canadian thing to do, so it’s not like they were singling him out.

I was very disappointed in Persona 5, especially after playing Persona 4 which is still my favorite game in the series. A lot of that is that I found the writing to be way worse than the previous games. I know there was a whole hubbub about the translation of the Japanese script, but I felt it really lacked that…

I’m honestly a little flabbergasted that somebody could talk about the state of turn-based RPGs in 2017 and not even mention Dragon Quest XI.

I still think the “transphobic” joke was actually a pretty good deconstruction of transphobia in comedy. It went something like this: “I ran out of ideas, so I started making hack transphobic jokes instead. Nobody laughed.”

This site used to be such an important voice in film and television. Very sad to see where it is now.

Literally, what the fuck are you talking about?

This is genuinely one of the most rancid, thoughtless articles in the history of the AV Club. It is antithetical to what this website used to be. G/O Media should do us a favor and shut the whole fucking thing down.

That’s not how I took Nicholas’ comment. To me it sounded like they were saying people were going into games like Sekiro, Lies of P and Lords of the Fallen expecting them to play exactly like Dark Souls, getting angry when they don’t and blaming the game instead of trying to learn how to play the game the way it wants…

The cheap traps thing is interesting, because there are “good” cheap traps (a monster right around a corner that you SHOULD check, but get complacent about) and “bad” ones (mimic shit is tiresome), and some of this is people having that meta-knowledge ignoring the bad ones as if one should just know the thing they…

I also just have to say, it’s baffling to me when people say shit like “cheap traps” are bad design, which the good Souls games would never do. Except for Dark Souls 1 is littered with cheap traps. At this point we all have the expectations of when a boulder is going to come out of nowhere or a chest is going to be a…

Yeah, I don’t know - it’s like the team had a great opening, a (couple of) great ending(s), and a TON of great ideas to fill in, in-between. But nothing really to marry them all. Or maybe they just thought we were bored with the “open world”-i-ness of BG1 (Narrator: We weren’t) and decided to cram fast travel in…

Came here to say this.

They did talk about the SSI gold stuff, and they’re right, most of those are not fun to play unless you’re looking at it from a different lens. They’re important parts of D&D, video game, and Forgotten Realms history, but they’re rough. Spot on with ToEE though. It was overshadowed by so many other big RPGs at the…

How can it be possible that you didn’t include Temple of Elemental Evil or the SSI Gold Box series? These are some of the most accurate depictions of D&D in a computer game.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is Kraven Some Meatier Roles

Andromeda is the worst game of the last decade that I’ve ever played five times and will probably play again every few years for the rest of my life. You’d think I’d know which bloat to avoid by now, but - nope - gotta keep doing those multi planet-hopping talk-to-people missions and repeatedly go through the annoying…

People stopped being mad about NFTs when it was clear they were crashing and burning, not because AI art showed up.

Pump Up the Volume is an awesome movie with one of the great 90s soundtracks. It was available for streaming up until a few months ago - can’t remember which platform, but I watched it last summer.
