  • Mittens posted a message on the post Summer Game Mess 2022 Theater.

    Really looking forward to Tactical Breach Wizards. I loved Tom Francis's work as a games writer and I love what he's done as a developer.

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase.

    @oc92: Jess' tendency to be dismissive of genres she doesn't "get" isn't much of a problem on its own, but when it's amplified by Dan (who does it even more) and not counterbalanced by anyone on staff...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic Let More Newcomers Review Elden Ring And Why I'm (Probably) Not Going To Play It. on the Elden Ring board

    There's also the issue of: what gameswriter truly has no opinion on the Soulsborne series at this point? If you've even had a tiny bit of curiosity about these games, you've probably tried at least o...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic Let More Newcomers Review Elden Ring And Why I'm (Probably) Not Going To Play It. on the Elden Ring board

    Isn't that true of reviews of, well, all franchises? I don't remember seeing a lot of Zelda reviews made by newcomers to the franchise. Same with, say, Civ or GTA. Hell it's probably a part of why rev...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic This is the Marvel Firaxis Game?!. on the Marvel's Midnight Suns board

    Even as someone that actually likes deckbuilders, this looks disappointing: it just screams "made for mobile". A bland look, enemies packed in small maps with no interesting terrain or features, , a ...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic Get Chrono Crossed: Part #3: This Game Was Kingdom Hearts Before Kingdom Hearts!. on the Chrono Cross board

    For me, CC is the only real disappointment from PS-era Square RPGs, which IMO was their best period overall. And that's despite being probably the best-looking and sounding game on the Playstation. N...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic Another set of new shows - The Very Online Show, Albummer, and Armed and Rangerous. on the General Discussion board

    I'm gonna echo most of the comments here and say that while I was excited to see GB's new direction, I'm pretty disappointed by it so far. In fact, this "new" direction seems to exactly the same direc...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic My Thoughts on Final Fantasy X - 25 Hours In. on the Final Fantasy board

    @eccentrix: Aren't they just wearing goggles and gas masks?Honestly I haven't played it in a few years. I bought the HD remaster recently but didn't get around to it yet. Maybe they made more changes ...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic My Thoughts on Final Fantasy X - 25 Hours In. on the Final Fantasy board

    @eccentrix: Oh he does hate the Al Bhed, but they're not a different race, like the Guado or Ronto. In the context of the game, they're heathens, or heretics, who don't live by Yevon's rules. Since Ye...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic My Thoughts on Final Fantasy X - 25 Hours In. on the Final Fantasy board

    I never really got the Wakka is racist meme. Isn't his whole thing that he's a big rube who's a big Yevon believer? He's fine with other races, it's heretics that he hates. Which makes sense for someo...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic Best Immersive Sims. on the General Discussion board

    It's hard to pin down immersive sims as a genre; it's almost more of a brand for Looking Glass games in the 90s and Looking Glass-inspired games that came out since then. Arkane in particular have ver...

  • Mittens posted a message in the forum topic The Official SQUARE ENIX Thread. on the E3 2021 board

    What a rough presentation.-GoG looks somewhat better than Avengers, but a better attempt at making something that's already pretty safe and bland isn't particularly exciting.-I'm mildly curious about ...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Game of the Year 2019: Day Three Deliberations.

    As a sidenote, Vinny and Alex chime in to say Crusader Kings doesn't have the same "community problem" as Mordhau, but it totally does, just like every other Paradox game. Which is too bad, because ...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Game of the Year 2019: Day One Deliberations.

    @allprox: You're correct that some of the story talk wouldn't have made it to other content because of fear of spoilers. Unfortunately, it's also my least favorite part of these things, because it usu...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Game of the Year 2019: Day One Deliberations.

    @allprox: To clarify, the complaint that people are bored listening to them talk about the games one by one is because most of us listen to the Bombcast/Beastcast, and 90% of what was said in those 4...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Game of the Year 2019: Day One Deliberations.

    @bladededge: The thing is, I don't think most people really liked the straight-up hostility and yelling of some past GOTY podcasts. But people liked the discussions. The reasoned, respectful arguments...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Game of the Year 2019: Day One Deliberations.

    I'll agree with most people here: this seems pointless. At least, last year, they would use this to nominate games for certain categories. Here, it's purely a rehash of the year's QLs/ Bombcasts/ Beas...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Early and Late Game Impressions of Death Stranding.

    @zoofame said: I think there's plenty of room between sterile, direct discussion and needlessly obfuscated subtext. I love documentaries and wikipedia but the world would be a much less interesting pl...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Disco Elysium.

    @chaser324: I remember multiple comments on that Quick Look calling in question Dan's hiring. And that's not even talking about the many comments on Dan video denigrating his intelligence. Ben and Ror...

  • Mittens posted a message on the post Disco Elysium.

    @kcin: A good reason for what? For not liking the game, or for not liking the video?
