everything about polygon is great except for the actual criteria that games websites are generally judged on (articles, reviews, thinkpieces, etc)

like their videos are great, their podcasts are great, but when they have to put words together in print they take the Good hat off and put the Bad hat on. justin and griffin write ok reviews but they don't write reviews very often

recently I've been listening to the all-women Polygon Show podcast and it's been real good and everyone on it is very thirsfty

e: also they've managed to bring up overwatch and kirby in all of the episodes i've listened to so far

Does anyone know if Cities Skylines is good/it comes out on PS4 tomorrow but I don't know how well something like that would play on console

It's fantastic on PC but I would wait to see what the console version looks like because city builders can be hit or miss on console ports.

Abby was a real good addition to the Giant Bomb crew. She doesn't know as much about games as the rest of them (which makes sense since she was mostly hired to be a tech person) but you can tell she has a great work ethic and is trying to keep pace with the rest of them.

Also she's really funny.

Anyone who doesn't look or sound like they want to kill themselves is a welcome addition so I'm all for Abby, maybe put her on that Kingdom Hearts series because so far it is rough as gently caress, they do not give a poo poo about these awful games. Someone said they "aged like milk" which is apt as gently caress.

I can't really fault him for that. I'd probably be proud if I founded my own games site in a way that let me make enough money to make it my career. :shrug:

I mean, his reviews and takes are generally not great but eh, getting a tattoo of a logo of a thing you're proud of having founded is pretty benign.

I liked it, I'm a big fan of rear end in a top hat Batman. The issue was that it was just more city and also the joker shows up, which people are tired of.

yeah i like that version of arkham batman. he is younger and much angrier and you see the shift from generic crime boss assholes to weird pyscho villians. yeah the joker is annoying but he worked well enough in it with young peppy "kill everyone in the room" joker and it kinda did a good job showing why the joker has big weird boner for batman.

kh1 isnt super good anymore combat is basic and the platforming is weird, but kh2 is still a great action rpg and they got rid of all the crappy platforming so its mostly just fighting. the intro with roxas is still a giant time waster tho but the combat's fun enough for me to forgive it
