Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
I just received an email from Sony inviting me to buy a PS5 on Wednesday, special link and everything. I already have one. Would a goon be interested in one? No markup. Just the cost + tax+ shipping, etc. PM me if you're interested.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

Yeah I love Skill Up, they're the only review channel I actually pay attention to but I only ever watch them for games that I'm not sure on. They managed to sell me on Immortals last year and I loved that.

i disagree with skill up a lot. i respect his opinion tho but i like a lot of games he hates and vice versa. this is not one of those situations tho the game looks as bad as he says.

I love Skill Up and agree with 99% of what he says but he wasn't impressed by Control so he's definitely wrong sometimes.

But he genuinely approaches reviewing video games better than basically everyone else in the biz.

I've been watching his stuff from the beginning. He started out covering Division when the first game launched so his stuff was a good resource early on.

He does approach reviewing games differently so even if you disagree you can usually at least understand where he's coming from and his thought process. He's been blacklisted by several publishers so he must be doing something right.

The Clank sections aren't completely awful, but they're a total momentum killer. I know you can skip them, but I don't like missing chunks of a game.

I always recommend skill up to people. His reviews are structured well and he is generous to the games he's reviewing. I like that we looks for the positives in games.

yeah if its fake its still really funny. not for hassan tho. he'll probably get a lot of gamer death threats.

Violence is one of the original forms of thematic/mechanical interface in games, and the average person really wants their violence to be 'fun', to be responsive, poppy, and free from consequence. A release or catharsis, if you will. I think 2LOU vibrates against that in a way that reminds people of things in culture or human psychology that they'd rather not think about. I don't really begrudge people for having a difficult time looking at difficult things, in fact it's probably a psychological defense mechanism to have that part of you say "no, too much, too close, I'm good."

...

2LOU and its designers want you to see, and they want you to have a hard time of it. They very much walk a fine line, but I think ultimately succeed. Because while 2LOU's story may be told within the simplified genre context of a revenge flick, it's ultimate goal and effect within the medium is quite a bit more complex, and I imagine it's going to take people years to come to terms with what that game's design is doing underneath the hood.


And yet everyone is eagerly anticipating the multiplayer mode that will be so cool and fun to stomp on each other's heads in a never-ending cycle

I'm extremely disappointed by it. I was hoping they'd shoot for capturing the co-op fun of the original but it really looks like slop.

I think it's fair to say that Factions will be evaluated within its own context, separate from the story of 2LOU, which is and has been concerned with a different set of provocations.



Curious if you've played 2LOU yet, Charlie, and if not, why?
