Episode 2 of #TLOU confirmed that the canonical way to play the game is to immediately fail at stealth and start firing chaotically.

I have to tell y'all that during my Gotham Knights preview Living la Vida Loca started playing and it was by far the weakest moment of my session. My jaw dropped when it started playing and I was like wtf is going on rn.

Yeah so many of Xbox’s comments are aging like milk rn. This is the danger of selling the “good guy” narrative. It only works when you do “good” things. That said this is also why PlayStation and Nintendo don’t talk to anyone anymore. They’re like nah I’m not gonna play myself.

Between Robinhood stopping you from getting GameStop stock and Activision refusing to talk to diverse candidates it’s super clear that there are very visible systems in place to keep some in power and others down.

Was looking forward to Horizon Forbidden West until I saw the game was about Aloy’s journey. Like… that’s the character you designed and wrote a backstory for LAST GAME. Using the same main character? It’s lazy is what it is.

In the year of big RPGs, Metaphor: ReFantazio taught me I don't hate long games, I hate long games that don't have the quality to support their runtimes.
16hrs of Metaphor has catapulted it up my top 10 list and may have removed FF7 Rebirth entirely. Guys, Rebirth sucks.

It’s a cruel joke that women in the games industry are the most likely to be accused of not being passionate enough when they literally love an industry that does not love them back.
I’m media, not a dev, but there are many days where I wish I could love something else.

Gaming bigots will always hate inclusion and empowerment because the worlds they want to escape to are worlds where marginalized folks are absent or oppressed.
It doesn’t matter that they can “just not choose the options” or ignore certain storylines. It’s about hate not logic.

Honestly this PlayStation showcase sucked. I know people will say “this is why you shouldn’t have expectations!” But that argument is dumb. They waited so long to do a #PlayStationShowcase and if this is the next phase of PlayStation I am whelmed.

I'm a huge fan of this franchise, a big story game person, and when I hit credits on this last night (esp. after hyping up the first two episodes) I had to tell y'all this ain't it.
Despite a stellar start, Life is Strange: Double Exposure’s thrilling plot twists take a hard pivot to nowhere. Making it a game I no longer recommend at all: pentopixels.com/article/life…

I reviewed Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. 5/5. It's Celeste in its side challenges, Ori in its smart design & epic heights, Metroid Dread in its grueling combat moments (but easier thank god) & Jak 3 in some of its aesthetics.
All while being its own fantastic game.
A platformer fan's paradise that turns parry haters into experts and proves Metroidvanias don't have to be about getting lost. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is 2024's first must-play game.

#GodofWarRagnarok is fantastic and so much better than 2018 (which I also loved). I was blown away by it and despite being so jam packed it completely earns its length. Quite possibly one of the best games I’ve ever played and definitely my new GOTY for 2022.

Hi-Fi Rush seems like one of the most successful shadow drops yet. Everyone on my TL is playing it.

I thought #TLOU HBO did a much better job making Joel sympathetic since they 1. Gave him more moments of humanity and 2. Showed more examples of others going through struggle but holy shit his decision at the end felt so much more evil in the show.
Like bro! Shit was brutal.

Some of y’all who are crying over TLOU 2 plot points clearly thought “Joel was right” in the first game and now that you no longer agree with characters’ choices you can’t handle it despite seeing the first game as a master piece for doing the same shit you’re complaining about.
