I recommend Chris Davis on the video game spectrum. He has a more grounded, less verbose, and better scheduled approach to video game critique than Joseph Anderson. Reviews current releases and analyzes series in hindsight. He can tell you in one sentence that Mass Effect Andromeda was terrible. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgnPgGFT3fRVkXKL59iFDzQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifTMC7ybZDc

I can't fathom the desire for a director's cut of Justice League when you can just watch Shazam and Birds of Prey a second time. It takes less effort to make a new good work of art than it is to fix an inherently bad work of art.

I wasnt expecting Secret of the Druids to be internally consistent. Every person who knows the main character hates him for his many trangressions, and every time he meets a kind stranger he completely ruins their day.

My wishlist for an Outer Worlds sequel, as one of the three goons who liked the game: An imposing enemy faction who wears cool armour to put on the box-art, maybe rip-off Jin Roh. The Board is very much a Banal Evil, and not a Cool Evil. Less quests where the C option is the obvious choice. Downplay the effect of levels and make character-progression more horizontal like in New Vegas. You could never beat a Deathclaw or Cazadore swarm with a high level alone, you had to prepare. Companions with more grave and less whiny personal issues. Downplay generic loot and scavenging in general, unless you there's a neat and purposeful crafting system. Character-building less weighted towards jack-of-all-trades. Maybe tie attributes, skill, and perks together. More open-world fluff to encourage exploring off the beaten path. Roseway was a very pretty zone with no incentive to smell the flowers. Has the flavour of Pillars 2: Deadfire.

The Skyrim main quest was so poo poo that it took me 7 years to beat. Worse than Bethesda's writing is now their attempts to replace crafted content with pre-generated stuff. Fallout 4 felt very slight with only two real settlements and a quest-log consisting of "Talk to X" and "Fetch Y". All the content beyond that was radiant-fluff designed to artificially extend the playtime with very little effort. The Witcher 3 and even the botched Cyberpunk have their share of fluff between the meaty sidequests but at least none of it is randomly-generated.

What ground does Cyberpunk cover that hasn't been done by two Blade Runners, three Deus Ex's, and three Shadowruns? I'm not counting Invisible War because gently caress that. How I'd rank Witcher 3's major story beats. Great: The Bloody Baron Gaunter O'Dimm Keira Metz Okay: Blood and Wine Skellige Succession Lame: The Wild Hunt themselves Dijkstra swallows idiot pills Spending hours looking for loving Dandelion Inspector Gesicht fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Dec 22, 2020 |

Chris Davis is a good VG reviewer who is slowing down his channel due to lack of traffic. He is somewhat annoyed that his quick 40 minute video, about how average Cyberpunk is beneath the bugs, got far bigger numbers than the 70 odd videos he did work on fully.

One day Hollywood will buy my movie script. Where Dane Cook uses a time-machine to relive the year 2006, when he was relevant, over-and-over again. But Skrillex fights him for control of the machine as he wants to relive 2012.

I knew a guy who was so boring that he watched a Nigella Lawson show just for the food. It's important to note that the Daily Wire only distributed that school-shooter movie, not produced it. There are two lovely parties at play.

The last time I read the word human being in any published book was Dune. Nothing to do with the author's homophobia, it was about a bundle of sticks as well.

I remember the site Ferretbrain (RIP) which dug in critically into Harry Potter's flaccid attempt at trying to being to be adult, and how awful the morals are. It didn't help that half the final book takes place during a loving camping-trip with none of the supporting cast.

Hbomb's overlapping conclusion on Sherlock and RWBY is that they're shows that threaten to be good. The resources are there, but the direction is off. A work that is disappointing is worse than a work that is merely bad. What other media fits the same criteria?

Nuns with Guns posted:To be fair, you could pretty much pick any YA author who was publishing books when you were young and are probably better than Rowling ended up being, if only because she's down in the bottom percentile "Anne McCaffrey/Mercedes Lackey-tier." What are the latter two guilty of?

It's strange how Lupin and Tonks are made into a straight, later dead, couple when they are so transparently gay-coded (closeted man and poly woman) Meanwhile nobody really gave a poo poo about Dumbledore because he's the stock geezer mentor, yet somehow he is gay only it's never said or implied anywhere in the text.

Id be kinder to Whedon had he not added reshoots to a movie whose principal photography was 99 percent done (the Russian family) and where he not the sleazeball Whedon. What racist and sexist readings can be found in his work that were not openly discussed before his MeToo turning point? Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Avengers etc. Dollhouse doesn't count because there is no subtext, its all hosed up main text.

I found the plot of Far From Home tasteless because they try to mine humour out of a teenager who is given a killer drone army. It doesn't matter if he's supposed to be a good guy. You can't be a good guy when you have the Hydra weapon from Winter Soldier at your beck and call. The appeal of Spider Man as the independent working-class underdog is eroded entirely when he has a billionaire benefactor. It also doesn't help that this came six months after The Seminal Spidey movie, Into the Spiderverse. That same year Tom Holland was in a movie where Will Smith turns into a pigeon. It had the same villain plot as Far From Home but it honestly dealt with the same subject matter far more maturely. It also had a surprisingly amount of male nudity for an animated kids movie.
