Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth?

Bounced off FF7R twice, once when it first came out, again after seeing rave reviews for Rebirth. First time I got to 'visit three identical rooms to divert components for the Airbuster boss'. This time 'do three separate mechanical hand puzzles while following a long ass boring tunnel' was the final straw. It sure is pretty, but gameplay is a slog. Thinking I will trade them both in toward Unicorn Overlord.

Re: Abusive Last of Us 2 Fans Allegedly Levelled Death Threats at Abby Actor's Newborn Son

@Shredderlovespizza I don't agree with or condone these extreme negative reactions, my argument is the artist can be responsible for causing damage with their art, just as the audience also plays a part in how they interpret it. ND literally did create a character so terrible it lead some people to these awful, harmful reactions, this article/conversation is evidence of that. Both parties must shoulder responsibility. The voice actor is largely blameless.

@Zuljaras I am surprised to hear that. I wrapped it up last night and brute forced my way through the whole thing with fire axe + motivity build. Only realised late game how useful throwables are. I did farm a lot of ergo for levels though.

I would give it 9/10.

Re: Uncharted 2 Director Notes Familiarity of New Mission: Impossible Flick's Train Sequence

It was definetely lifted whole cloth from Uncharted. The chase in Rome bears a striking resemblance to the chase in Uncharted 4, the train sequence obviously imitates Uncharted 2, and the train going off the bridge at the end is not dissimilar to the ending of Lost Legacy. Those are too many coincidences to disregard claims that Uncharted was the template for those scenes.
But since the actual Uncharted film was cack, I don't really mind.
