Persona 6 doesn't have to outsell FFXVI for you to talk about how and why Persona is better. Just say that. You don't need this (extremely unlikely) hypothetical sales scenario to validate what you fe...

It's a bizarre choice, presented bizarrely, for sure. The game isn't lacking proper onboarding or whatever their stated rationale is, it's lacking content.

I don't know if I'm the only person who would buy a new Baten Kaitos. But it's got to be a pretty exclusive club.

I suppose it makes sense. In 2019, the powers that be must've thought Anthem's rehab was a necessary step to salvage Bioware's reputation. Now Bioware has a shiny new Mass Effect Trilogy remaster on t...

Vinny is a total lunatic at these games. But goddamn, when the chips are down, like they were on that train, he knows how to get methodical. And kudos to Brad for the amazing comeback in the winery le...

@zoofame: Though I think chances of future GOTYs being structured in this way is very slim, I think these are solid ground rules. To point #1 specifically, something I like to consider is that constru...

There are several ways to do it well. Unfortunately they already burned one of them with Andromeda, such that I don’t think they will be touching that concept ever again. To me, the clearest way forwa...

Welp. After a hot and heavy week or two, I've now not touched the game for a week.Once you're done exploring, playing this game feels slightly more onerous than the typical gatcha game. I think that's...

Really enjoying this free co-op mode. Got my Samurai and Hunter swole as fuck. Now I'm waiting for my bro to gear up so we can take on those nightmare story missions. I don't think I'll do the raid un...

I wish her the best, and am looking forward to seeing where she lands.I mean, Abby’s at the very start of her professional career! There’s not a ton of room, from my outside POV, to advance in the GB ...

Alex accidentally wandering into the Synthesis ending is peak mass Alex. Truly, the only way it could've ended. Really enjoyed going on this journey with Alex and Vinny.

Enjoying it so far. I've found that I possess the ability to just take gatcha games as they come, so I'm not overly bothered by what I freely admit are very low 5* rates. Right now I'm maining Razor, ...

Man, I remember jumping up and cheering when I found Garrus and Tali getting down in the cannon room. What a cool moment.

@thej6m: Um, I'm failing to understand what your Christian faith has to do with the defensibility of JK Rowling's position re: the validity of trans identity and life. Her position, as she describes i...

JK Rowling is the reason I work in the publishing industry today. It angers me that this woman with the power to beam her thoughts directly into the minds of children chose this abhorrent position, of...

@noboners: One of the smartest things that Destiny 2 did was just give you an exotic weapon and an exotic class armor piece during the vanilla campaign. Just knowing wild shit like that was waiting at...

Maybe an anime can get the characterization right. I got the sense of what they were trying to do with Ryo et al in Shenmue 1, but the writing and VO were so awkward and poor that none of it landed at...

It's fine to go against the grain, but allowing other people's general positivity on a thing to reinforce and sharpen your dislike seems, I don't know, really unproductive. It's a sentiment I hear som...

@kemuri07: That's fair. One of my favorite Beastcast bits is Vinny, Austin and Bakalar riffing on how The Division is really just a smorgasbord of modern social and political anxieties. The timely, la...

Wow. Someone gave the thumbs-up to that pitch, that trailer and that imagery in the summer of 2020. Surprised they didn't just name the evil organization SOROS.I am increasingly convinced that Ubisoft...
