And conveniently forget that Legends had way more garbage stories than they would like to admit.

@GymratAmarillo
As a lifelong Star Wars fan I have enjoyed the majority of the shows thus far not just Andor. Skeleton Crew was good, Bad Batch was good, all the Tales of were pretty good, Ashoka was fine, the only outright "bad" one for me was Acolyte, and maybe Boba Fett which even then still had it's moments. I feel some people just want to find anything and everything to b--ch and moan about (or are just butthurt that some things aren't canon anymore which does not in any way, shape or form affect your enjoyment of past content) no matter how meaningless it is. The batting average is better than some people want to give honest credit for.

@dardel
Dude has had major writers block for the last like 15 years and he is almost 77 years old and not in the best of health so let's face it he probably won't have another 10 years. Maybe 5 at most. I would rather he just hand the series over to another experienced writer to finish it using his reference notes and then he can happily ride off into the sunset but he doesn't want that.

@Lup
I was always roll my eyes at that line of argument, for most games on Game Pass Microsoft cut the developers a healthy check for the privilege to have those games on their service. It's no different than Netflix paying production studios to have movies on their platform, somebody is getting well paid no matter what.

Game prices are still the cheapest they have ever been when you factor in inflation. If you bought an SNES game in 1992 it would cost 60 dollars. Sound good right? Wrong, it would have cost 137 dollars in todays money. Bought a PS1 game in 1996, 50 dollars or 102 dollars in todays money. Bought a PS3 game in 2007, 60 dollars of 92 dollars in todays money. 60 dollar games were the norm for over 2 decades and that's while game development costs were skyrocketing. I'm surprised they didn't raise the price at least a decade ago. Also SNES and PS1 games were significantly shorter and lighter on content in general outside of RPG's. Pick any game on the PS1 that wasn't an RPG, look up playthroughs of it on YouTube and I guarantee you that playthrough is 8 hours or less (vast majority don't even exceed 6). Meanwhile todays games regardless of genre almost always last into at least the double digit hours. You all really do not understand how good you have it now.

@BAMozzy
Doomguy didn't feel weak in Eternal, he had the highest kill count in it of any Doom game in the series (at least until Dark Ages) and combat was brutal with many weapons like the Super Shotgun, Ballista, and especially the BFG being extremely punchy. That never changed. Also the platforming is not nearly as hard as people seem to make it out to be, 95 percent of it is jump button, boost button, point in the direction where you need to go. Not exactly Mario Odyssey level of complexity there.

@Ultimapunch
The perfect summary of these review bombing idiots is that there's this image that incel haters of the show keep spreading around of some screenshot of Bella making a face for half a second that kind of sort of looks funny that 99.999 percent of viewers didn't even notice. Thats all they are whining about right now. People sometimes make faces in high stress situations. Is this really what they waste their energy on all day? Talk about a miserable existence to be this perpetually mad about so many nothing burgers.

@get2sammyb
The environmental design/variety this time around just looks; chefs kiss

This is the most accurate portrayal of Florida I have ever seen in a video game, and I can say that I've lived in this monstrosity of a place my whole life.

@Keyblade-Dan
I'm genuinely surprised they haven't ported Rare Replay yet. Seems like a no brainer and would be relatively easy and cheap to do.

@nomither6
I'd rather take something with color in it then all those boring brown and gray aesthetics that plagued almost every single game from like 2005-2015ish but that's just me.

@NintenGuy
I was using the elevator video as another example; way to be incredibly dishonest bro. Also I'm not triggered by the other guy just debunking stupid claims because someone lacks any and all media literacy. Also what about what i said ignored reality or was "virtue signaling" whatever that even means. Thats the same as "woke" it has no meaning anymore and is now just "thing I don't like".

@NintenGuy
I've watched security footage of a woman in an elevator (I believe it was in Turkey if I remember correctly) take out 3 guys at the same time who were at least twice her size not because of strength but because she knew where to grab and or hit them, technique trumps brute strength everytime, thats fighting 101. Again making a mountain out of what isn't even a molehill. If you were playing a video game I bet you wouldn't even be moaning about a woman beating up guys or a woman in a video game shooting hundreds of people and surviving that ala Tomb Raider or Perfect Dark or countless other games and if you are then jesus christ talk about needing to get a life.

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr
Way to make mountains out of things that are not even molehills.
1. My wife does judo and has knocked over guys 3 times her size, technique trumps all brute strength. Also they even make the comment he was holding back and could have easily knocked her out.
2. What "resist patriarchy" crap are you even talking about? They live in a post apocalyptic commune where everyone has to pitch in just to get by, there is no patriarchy anymore.
3. All that refugee scene was, was two people having a debate about whether they can continue to bring in more survivors in the camp with both sides debating opposite viewpoints. That's called a conversation genius.
4. The homophobe guys race is
completely irrelevant only you are
making it a race thing.
5. "This is why western media is in doldrums" is the type of stupid twitterbrained crap I can never take seriously with you types. Media is not struggling because views expressed in a show or movie offends your personal widdle feelings. Grow up. Eastern media has always expressed morals/politics since the beginning of time too. Ever played a Final Fantasy or Metal Gear game? Super political. Anyway I guarantee if the show was spouting political views you agreed with you wouldn't be moaning hypocrite. Every piece of media since the beginning of time has expressed ideas both moral and political, just because you were either too young or too naive to have understood them is on you alone.

@Gr8VngnzN4esAngr
What do you mean by "cringe messaging"

@BleedingDreamer
Showrunners have said at most it will be 4 seasons.

@Matthewnh
Not sure what the hell a file size has to do with how good a port is. I'm playing the game on PC at the moment and it's 114 GB there.

@UltimateOtaku91
Just so you know the game gets easier and easier the more you play, you get access to vehicles, ziplines, robots that carry stuff for you etc. By late game delivering packages gets stupidly easy.

@Frmknst
Well thats the worst take I have seen in a while.

@Athrum
Nightdives whole thing is taking old classic/cult classic games and trying to update them to make them much more accessible both technological and control wise. Typically that means better resolution, improved controls, sometimes extra content if available, runs well on modern hardware when prior to this it would have been a nightmare to run on modern PC's, etc. How much more do you need?

@ATaco
Not how free speech works, if you dislike the game then knock yourself out; but sending death threats (which is depressingly common with gamers nowadays) is never okay and should have legal repercussions.

@JVCIOM70
Metros developers are Ukranian and have had to put up with all kinds of BS with the Russian government, for example during the Crimean annexation in 2014 they famously had to smuggle Xbox One and PS4 dev kits into the country. Please support these devs they deserve it.

@ThomasHL
He has always been vocally opposed to Putin and good for him. More Russians need to stand up to that knob end

@Fluberuper
Was quite popular when it came out and did very well at the box office but yeah it's been almost 20 years and it has arguably not aged well.

"Run its Solid Snake!"
"It looks like Solid Snake but due to international copyright law it is not"
"But still run like its Solid Snake!"
"Even though it is not"

@T-Bone09
BF 2042 had an extraction mode called Hazard Zone that had a small but devoted following.

@Jireland92
The first game sold 19 million units and many of those were long after it was a PS4 exclusive and became available on other platforms. There's a very active community on PC especially. This will sell.

@heavyartillery56
What is this conspiracy BS, you think theres some massive cover up over how many copies a game sold? Bro chill TF out.

@zhoont
You dont need to put failed in quotation marks. It was an incredibly expensive game and didn't sell enough copies to turn a profit. Needed 5 million copies just to break even and it barely broke 2. That's a financial failure.

@get2sammyb
Thing that baffles me about acquisitions like this is that the companies who do it seem to lack any foresight whatsoever. They go "We're rich lets buy up all these companies, oh s--t we can't afford to keep them open now". Do they not have accountants who map out how much they can afford to spend well in advance? I know projects go overbudget and unforeseen things happen and all that but you can always account for this.

@nessisonett
A good 50 percent of games that were released in the PS3/360 era was using some form of UE3 and that covered games as varied in art style from Mass Effect to Borderlands to the Batman Arkham games. This is not a new trend.

Now do Far Cry 4 you cowards

People disliked Eternal? It had the most expansive combat system in the series thus far and the platforming was a welcome break from all the shooting. I have a hard time going back to Doom 2016 now as it just feels like a slower and less refined Eternal.

@ShogunRok
Why is that blasphemous? A good game franchise is a good game franchise regardless of original platform?

@breakneck
I liked Outer Worlds but it simply just doesn't match the scale/freedom of exploration that a Fallout game provides.

@trev666
Bioshock had weird animation and incredibly plasticky looking character models even when it was released. The Unreal 2 engine was showing it's age by 2007. Infinite still holds up graphically though in my opinion.

@XanderTigerclaw
European shows have done the 6-8 episode thing for as long as TV has existed. So this isn't even anything close to new. And the only real reason you got 20+ episode season shows to begin with was because the landscape was much different. Shows were made at a major financial loss and only recouped their costs via syndication. Syndication obviously isn't much of a thing anymore so instead production companies have elected to do less episodes but with more money pumped into each episode and a generally higher quality per episode. Plus episodes of shows now are generally longer than they used to be. I would personally rather take 7 high quality 60 minute episodes a season of Last of Us over 30, 20 minute episodes a season of a mediocre ass sitcom and 45 minute episodes of another formuliac ass drama like what used to plague every TV network.

@breakneck
The smart thing I would do to adapt the second game is to tell the story in chronological order and not like in the game, that way we get plenty of time with Joel and Ellies relationship and would therefore make you know what happening several episodes in instead of episode 1. That would work that much better. I hope that's the route they went with.

"A low-res image of the apparent protagonist, Lucia, standing by a wall"
Ah yes...so very worthy of destroying your career over leaking online.

@8bit4Life
How is diversity political though. What is political about being black in a story? Or gay? Or a woman? Is being a white character in a story political too then? How is somebody who just exists political? Also just about every story since the beginning of time including in video games has had some kind of message behind it. Most just don't complain because they were either too young to remember, too stupid to get the obvious, or it was politics they agreed with so they didn't complain because of double standards.

I don't get why the Series S even exists. Yeah it's cheaper but with lower end hardware it was always going to be a headache later on in the console generation when we get increasingly more demanding games and I refuse to believe nobody at Microsoft had the foresight to predict this.

@PuppetMaster
Callisto only flopped because it cost an obscene amount of money to make. 161 million roughly. With marketing costs on top of that I think they estimated it had to have sold close to 5 million copies just to break-even which is insanity for a new IP.

@Puketapu
Not every genre is for everybody. I love FPS games but apparently 90 percent of this website has some kind of irrational vendetta against anything that is first person.

@KawakiisaFraud
"The Final Fantasy brand isn't nearly as popular as the internet would like to believe".
I mean FF XV sold over 10 million copies, FF XVI sold over 3 million copies in just it's first week and FF7 Remake sold 3 million copies in as many days at the height of Covid lockdowns. Sure that's not quite Call of Duty numbers but that is still pretty damn popular.

@Korgon
History has shown that Nintendo has been able to reinvent themselves and have major success time and time again. The WIIU was by no means their only low point at least in terms of popularity. The N64 was incredibly niche compared to the PS1 and the Gamecube compared to PS2 even more so until the WII made them dominate hardware sales again. Even if the Switch 2 doesn't enjoy the level of popularity as the Switch I think they will still find some way to put their tried and true (use cheap and established hardware in unique ways) design philosophy to good use.

@Nepp67
My generation had YouTube poops and really really really stupid flash animations. Literally nothing has changed.

@DennisReynolds
Him and his brother are something of national treasures in their native country of Sweden.

@meistergeister
And do please humor me what the hell does "woke" mean to you specifically?

@Michael2008ish
From what I gather the gameplay wasn't bad at all it just had piss poor marketing and the 40 dollar price tag when all of it's competitors are free to play was a death sentence.

@thefourfoldroot1
Most PS1 games (with the exception of multiple disc games) are less than 600MB of data. Most PS2 games don't even exceed 2GB. Crazy to think how much game sizes have changed. All those graphical details today add up.
