The tech tree and the affinity system both are less than thrilling I agree. I think the thing that really let me down is the, I don't know what to call it, quest system? The slow trickle of non game winning objectives that added the tiniest bit of flavor text into the game. I wish that was expanded or cut entirely.

Beyond earth just feels like it has so many directions it could've really added depth and style, but it feels shallow everywhere you look.

Been playing everything on the pc, but a few console exclusives make me want to just have a ps4. I see people saying the pro will justify itself in the future. I just dont see how.

Whatever my purchase is it feels like its gonna end up living in a closet fast. I don't know maybe its just me but just not interested in having the device. Feels like a hassle. The more expensive version isn't any more enticing.

I don't think there is a human being in the world who is gonna defend the nonsensical narrative of Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts is a fun little romp through pastiche set pieces. I would argue the bloated crazy story is such a departure that it doesn't lend itself to comparison with the Disney properties it is using. It evokes them instead of imitates.

Disney animated movies are typically highly refined examples of tight well executed storytelling. Asking a videogame to live to that standard is a hard ask. Has a videogame ever lived up to that standard? Even come close?

I'm not saying videogames aren't art, but with the realities of production and gameplay focus can they really be measured well against other mediums? I would argue that isn't the point of Kingdom Hearts. It doesn't measure up on Disney terms, but on its own insane terms its a blast.

I actually love the patched reject ending of mass effect 3. A good audience fuck you is fun. I got to shoot that fucking laaaame space ghost kid and had my cathartic release.

Mass Effect 3 was a disappointment to me because it felt with a little tweaking and some cuts it had something there. Andromeda on the other hand seems like a hot mess. It's hard for me to feel invested and have emotion for something that barely has a connection to a game I love.

@evilsbane:

1 and 2. I think the way Logan behaved in the 3rd movie was false to his journey as a character. I think it fails individually and as a whole.

3. I find every comic book movies 3rd act action sequence bloated and boring. So I don't say this was particularly the worst but it is one of these bloated boring movies. It doesn't escape the flaws of its genre. It definitely is a by the numbers comic book movie.

4. I love westerns. I love visual metaphor. I think Shane is a bad example of both so including what I think is the worst scene from a bad movie in your movie I have problems with.

5. They explicitly say corn syrup= no more mutants. Corn syrup probably even caused Professor X's brain disease that killed everybody else. Corn Syrup is definitely the biggest bad in the movie. Otherwise what is it? Ineffectual robot hand guy? Scientist with the budget to clone some people? Clone that gets shot in the face? Hardly villains.

6. Every scene had long moments where we just wait for the next thing to happen. That sort of editing demands emotional investment and I had zero and fuck Im a god damn nerd.

Pretending the character of wolverine has never really lived a full life is insane. The time travelling 150 year old really never lived? Yea ok.

The characters emotional journey in the film is so empty and false. I don't know how you can say this isn't a traditional super hero movie.

Was there a 15+ minute boring ass fight in the 3rd act? Yes there was. Really bucked the tradition there guys. The lead died? Fuck that shit has happened last march.

Shane is a classic movie, but sorry it isn't good. It's not clever to do the Shane ending and include that terrible scene with that awful kid, then even show the ending of shane, and so ape the ending of shane. (The whole is he dead? Yes he is ending.) Because Shane is used to teach children about visual metaphor doesn't make it a good movie. It makes it an easy to movie to explain.

I don't understand how you guys can pretend a movie where the ultimate villain was fucking genetically modified corn was "serious."

Abysmally paced garbage.

Doom lost me very early, end of level 4 start of level 5, and I just uninstalled haven't gone back to it. I don't find the aesthetic as refreshing as others seem to. I think that I'm a victim of the hype train. If I came to this game cold I would've liked it more, but in my attempt to relate to what people loved about Doom I failed.

I just got 4 piece sentry, and I am having an impossibly time getting a decent weapon already. This just makes me want to stop playing entirely. I can understand rebalancing smgs, but totally destroying sentry instead of retuning it seems incredibly unfriendly to players.

When you consider the way items drops are rolled this game is really really hard to tolerate this sort of bullshit.
