Most women all vote for their own destruction. I don't have to worry about being cat called, mugged or spit on in the train. For me 20% or 30% more rapes is just a statistic. pre-ISIS I figured it was some sort of romantic idea that they had about Arabian nights or Alladin or whatever, like 50 Shades of Grey or some shit.

But despite everything they keep voting for parties that enable their butchers and want to bring back communism through climate or some other doomsday hoax. 

It boggles the mind.

Though he might overestimate how much gamers really care about the original creator. David Jaffe recently said that he thinks Kratos has gone too soft and most people just told him to get bent

Say what you will about the new games, but Kratos was to unlikeable in the OG games, even for a Greek hero. 

Then again, wasn’t the original plan to change the setting until Jesus Christ?

Oh Kratos was absolutely an unlikable rage beast, though you could perhaps argue that the most recent games went a little too far in the other directions. I feel like he only makes the right decisions now which is kinda boring

Surprised that RE is not feeling True Detective S4.

When I went to see Godzilla Minus One they showed the trailer for the new series and it looked terrible (lol Rotten Tomatoes) but it felt like the kind of thing they hype themselves about. Now reading that the show runner complained about the Rotten Tomatoes reviews with the “dude bro review bombing” deflection, I wonder why there is no thread about it (or if there was, why didn’t get more traction)

Oh, Dios. Es una escritora mexicana. ¿Por qué insisten en el progresismo gringo cuando ni ellos se la creen? 

Ojalá los otros episodios sean excelentes, por que la regó con ese comentario.

Learning that she is a Mexican writer and director made me depressed, I really not like when they miss the mark this hard. 

She really shouldn’t played the culture war card in social media, she really screwed herself there. The dialogue being bad is probably the criticism that you can’t blame to the “dude bros”, it sounds she needed the help of another English speaking writer.

Hope the show gets better in the next episodes, but that trailer was fucking terrible.

[HaughtyFrank]

I watched the first two episodes and didn't hate it, though I went in with pretty much zero expectations. Nothing will reach that first season of true detective, but it's certainly better than the dreadful second season

[Boredfrom]

I’m going to be pissed off it wasn’t originally planned as a True Detective season and they just decided to label that. Because seeing that trailer while thinking on Season 1 made me angry (and would probably be more forgiving if it was random spooky mystery in HBO). 

That first season is legendary. Not even the OG creators could match it.

I really feel bad for the showrunner now.

Can't believe he escaped being the face of girls gone wild in the early 00s

Since that IGN article is bereft of any actual information, what's the reasoning for the review bombing? TD gone "woke"?

They have literally made this their entire identity. All of their posts in PoliERA are the same topic, too.

Complaining about review bombing is dumb. It’s only when it’s negative. Like there aren’t nut jobs and bots flooding sites with positive reviews. Pretty sure these studios were found to use bots and paid reviews to manipulate rotten tomatoes and imdb.

[AldusMoneyPenny]

All it means is that the wokes didn't like it enough to counteract the CHUDs and therefore it's not worth watching. Unlike The Marvels and Goodby Volcano High

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

Ree shouldn't be supporting True Detective anyway. It's a show glorifying the police.

[AldusMoneyPenny]

Honestly, most of it. Most DLC is pretty underwhelming. A more challenging thread would be single-player DLC that's actually good, I think. That's a very short list.

FFXVI's story DLC was pretty mediocre, for example. Just more of the main game, flaws and all.

As usual, first reply, 2 minutes after the OP so basically no thought was put into the post, and it's (surprise!) extremely negative!

True Detective is all the stuff they usually go wild for, woman writing it, lesbian lead, native other lead etc etc

However it is turbo dogshit and barely even feels like it's in english at times. Jodie Foster shouting at people would be a better name for the show.

Fine I’ll check it out.

Worried about the coded messages. With Reagan gone, it could be anybody these days.

These ghouls are not human. They won't stop until everyone they hate, simply for existing and being different from them, is dead.

Dehumanisation – Those perceived as ‘different’ are treated with no form of human rights or personal dignity. During the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda, Tutsis were referred to as ‘cockroaches’; the Nazis referred to Jews as ‘vermin’.

The thing I dislike the most about the new games is that all the interesting character development happened off-screen. The new Kratos isn't the old one. This isn't the same character. 

I like how the new games are meant to be about fatherhood and his son, but the most interesting relationship is between Kratos and Mimir, because you were actually an active participant in that one.

Press O to hug your family in the first game had more emotional resonance than anything in the reboots.

[Polident]

Yet to play the second game but recognize that criticism from the first, which overall I thought was pretty good.

For me it’s difficult to ignore just how overwhelming the theme of a troubled guy finding salvation in raising a kid is in recent media. It’s not some new thing but Star Wars alone did it like three times in five years. And the leads on these projects all say the same thing. They are new fathers and get weepy about being edgy in their youth. There’s that self insert drive.

well you see that's just chris jericho (and darby allin, and jay lethal, and omega,and sammy guevara, and don callis) so they can be overlooked. but i really don't like how vince mcmahon booked his shows so i'm extra double mad about this!

There's also a chance Tony Khan helped cover up the Jericho stuff too

I hate this kind of shit

in actual art, you're never "meant to" think one way or another, you're just supposed to consider the characters and situation and take away from it what you will

if the story is wagging its finger at you like "now listen here, don't sympathize with this joker fellow, he's a meanie and you shouldn't act that way" then it's a shitty morality play, like the ones sanctioned by the medieval church, the only entertainment the masses can be allowed to safely consume

if it doesn't allow you to come to your own conclusions, it's propaganda

Thing about ree is they're all easily old enough to have been adults at some point during the golden age of TV boom (that ended what 5 years ago) where this sort of thing was the norm.

What the fuck were they watching during the 00s and 10s?

Suicide Squad game launches for people who bought the $100 edition, instantly belly flops and needs to be taken offline, and some Resetera members really play the poor devs card

seeing a lot of people here mocking/making fun when there's a team of innocent devs at the heart of all this who are likely already stressed enough as is due to the nature of game development

some people going "first flop of the year haha!" & "this game is a clusterfuck and im here for it lol!" is childish at best and despicable at worst, all for caring about game devs and their wellbeing till it's a game you don't like hey guys?

The situation is STILL Microsoft's fault though. They could have withdrawn at any point for about 3 billion. Which sounds like a lot until you remember that its like 0.001% of their total value.

No one forced them to buy Activision Blizzard, and if they didn't want Activision Blizzard to ramp up they could have pulled out.
