But, yeah as I said: And this is important because these: ...are actually pretty good examples of what I'm talking about (I somewhat disagree on other examples (they are good concepts in and off themselves, but I think they were executed poorly) but that is a whole other discussion)...

The Last Jedi is a rather bad film for other reasons though, and it is not about "plot holes". It has more to do with Rian Johnson's approach to "subverting expectations". I have seen quite a few outlets praise the film for "subverting expectations", but this is not a good thing in and off...

The sequel has a "skip time" option that really should have been implemented retroactively into the first game. I kind of wish they had gone the Grim Fandango Remastered route of implementing some improvements (the aforementioned "skip time" and some better controls), and then going "Oh, and...

Doesn't this effectively puncture the claim that Nintendo discontinued the NES Classic because they thought it would cut into the Switch's Virtual Console sales? You know, the only coherent reason (well, closest to anything resembling a coherent reason anyway) from a business perspective for why...

A Bloodlines sequel would ideally need to have Brian Mitsoda on-board, and Obsidian as developers, since they are the closest to the old Troika team still around.

Instead of dismissing the criticism of the dialogue as "whining about change" out of hand, how about actually examining it and responding to the arguments? I read the pre-release complaints too, and I dare say they have been proven right; the system is a noticeable downgrade that effectively and...

Look, the bottom-line is that "shipping numbers =/= sales numbers", everyone who knows their basic economics knows this. It might be a pet peeve of mine, but it is such a cheap way for a company to generate empty hype and so many, like the article writer, readily and uncritically swallows the bait.

It is an important difference, because they are not definitely sold. Retailers often have a clause that allows them to return copies to the manufacturer for some form of compensation if they have too many in stock and they can't sell them, and they often use that clause. Again, look to ET for...

This is quite sloppy journalism. Bethesda's own article says they have shipped 12 million copies, not sold them. The distinction is important, because Atari shipped 5 million copies of the ET game back in the day, and I think we all know how that went.

Chris Avellone needs to put "Professional Stretch-Goal" on his resume post-haste.

I only hope for an official "Meh" button, for those times when I'm not really too interested in something.

Anyone who has actually watched any Ego Review episodes knows that Yahtzee is his own biggest critic.

Seriously, that video in the OP is really stupid. They put way too much stock into a loose rumor by an anonymous source, and, as shown in the first post on this very page, the fact that Marc Laidlaw would gladly and readily debunk the rumor when asked by email by an average Joe pretty much...

First off: I concur with the booing and hissing at Pitchford for his recent behavior and weaseling around the A:CM issues. "But I'm totally the real victim here, guise!" Bah, cry me a river you hack of a failed stage magician. With that out of the way: If someone wants to make another Duke...

This. All of this. While the show in this season indeed got around to many of the same plot-points as AFoC and ADwD, it arrived at them for contrived and stupid reasons, where the book plot flowed more organically. Not to say that ADwD wasn't slow as hell at some parts, but everything that...
