I wouldn't get ahead of it myself...Games are auctioned to be adapted every week, movies are put in preproduction regularly, with directors, writers and stars being planned all the time. Remember Meta...

No. Even when the ending is bad, and a solution relatively easy to implement (looking at you, Fallout 3), a game with a broken ending is often the result of more broken decisions along the way, as suc...

Also, Patrick has become sort of a cohost to Decoding TV with David Chen, a podcast/youtube channel that does in-depth coverage of streaming based TV shows (stuff like Loki, Ashoka and Black Mirror). ...

I am voting for 0.This year is pretty stacked, and the only times they talked about Starfield in the weeks following its release was with derision.

I often find that a negative/mediocre review is more useful than a glowing one.A review that says "this product is awesome 10/10" says as little to me as "this product is worst than cholera 1/10". On ...

Just wanted to mention the Dark and Darker mess as a possible contender.For those unfamiliar: To summarize: A group of people left Nexon (a south korean game publisher/development house) to c...

The Unity mess has the stench of very poorly thought out business decision being confronted with reality. I don't want to presume, but I wouldn't be surprised if the time between conception and commun...

I often am against the idea of Hottest Mess getting too real, because I think it sours the taste of good fun we try to have at laughing at people getting too big for their own britches, and nobody win...

@jjweatherman: There is an alternative ending that shows the other side. I am not sure if it was added later, but you can search it on youtube.It makes sense since there were a copy, the main characte...

DordogneThe Big Con

I don't know... So far, this has been a pretty lukewarm mess of half a year. I have no doubts that might "improve" in later months, but if most candidates are "x game (option) that nobody expected muc...

I am just going to say, there is an invencible mode in the assistance options, that can be toggled in and out at anytime. The game doesn't change with it on, but it helps those (like me) that are unco...

Across the Spider-verse (8/10)The movie is somewhat too long and not long enough. Many people were aware it is only part 1 of 2, but if you are not, you should know the story is cut short, and the cli...

While I do find consistency, or earnestness important when trying to get me involved in the tone of the game and characters, I want to point out one of the franchises that has one of the most eccentri...

If you are looking for stuff similar to Demon Slayer, I would recommend stuff like Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z, Fullmetal Alchemist or Macross/Robotech.I would stay clear out of things like Evangelio...

I went into it not knowing anything about it, and I haven't played Night in the Woods, so I can't really compare... But I enjoyed it. The setting is picturesque, the voice acting is pretty good, the a...

Still too early in the year, so I do hope I get to play a game that dethrones Hi-Fi Rush from the top spot.

@shindig: Actually, there are... it is just that what constitutes a "monopoly" is a rather vague concept, and corporate lawyers love vague concepts.Also, the regulatory bodies want to save face after ...

If you completed the 2B route and wasn't interested in the gameplay loop, you can safely put it down.If you were somewhat intrigued in the story and the setting, my advice is to play it again and agai...
