I could never be disappointed with a game that tried something new, tried something interesting or different, even if I didn't like it, but I will forever be disappointed with games that DID something new or interesting and then their sequels get rid of that and become bland boring messes to try and appeal to the masses. The biggest case of this for me were the sequels to Metro 2033. That first game was so so good at what it was doing - atmosphere - and Last Light took all of that away but didn't replace it with anything else, and made the gameplay easier and plentiful.
GOTY in general feels to me like something we should be done with by now, like system wars and comment sections, but my god, the idea that calling out shitty behaviour means that the crew hates their fanbase as a whole is completely fucking asinine.
GB is a personality based site, but that doesn't mean they are your friends, or that they owe you anything. Plenty of fair criticism and discussion in this thread, but some of y'all need to take like 9 steps back and maybe find other things to do with your time.
I'm sorry but this is a business, not a hobby blog, not the Youtube of a bored kid. When you run a business you don't publicly shit-talk your client base, even if they are idiots or say/do stupid things. You just don't.
I think NOT overanalyzing the show, and instead accepting that what year every event happened in doesn’t matter, is key.
This is really very true. I personally didn't think it was at all difficult to keep up with it because they made it fairly obvious but nevermind.
A lot of the criticisms I've read seem to come from people who only played the Witcher 3 and don't have much knowledge of the universe other than what happens in that game and thus expect it to be the exact same. Everyone I've spoken to with no prior knowledge have loved it and not had problems understanding anything.
I personally thought it was a really fun watch and cannot wait for more.
I don't know a single person that does not have a PC in their home in some fashion. Even my elderly grandparents have one. I know it's fashionable to write about how PCs are dead, and has been for years and years, but it's still really wrong.
I had both back in the day, and whilst GT1 was cool, GT2 was on another level for me personally. The layout of challenges and cups and stuff was great, and you could get some real good cars from normal progress and it was fun yet rewarding, as a 10-16 year old to play. I kinda bounced off 3, but 4 and 5 I dug too.
I'm rereally enjoying it. Glad ive been able to turn off the chromatic abberation as that's one of the shittest effects in gaming. There's still some bad post processing AA muddying things, but it looks better at least.
