You're not playing it, so problem solved?
It's really weird to stand high and mighty above a half a decade old game and say the fans just want to be seen as unique for liking it... when you're on here acting unique and subversive for... not liking it?

I didn't get to read a lot this year, but there were a few books I made sure to read, and this was chief among them :)

I think about how much Persona 5's Thief of Hearts premise and aesthetic sell that game, and how hyped it made me to go dungeon crawling, and I really don't see Atlus making a new mainline entry without a similarly strong style direction.

Even the logic of that aesthetics argument is silly to me.
Yeah, man, if you strip out all the things my eyeballs are looking at and that my mind is thinking about the whole time I play the video game, I *would* enjoy it less!

"Mecha but Fighter Jets" has been my go-to.

I'm really happy for the game and think it deserves nearly all the praise and awards.
With that said, Dispatch and Silksong were robbed.

I was like, "More Control, that's neat, I guess," but as the trailer went on, and melee combat was shown, I became, "Oh man. More Control. Oh, hell yeah.

Felt very edgy tbh
I liked OS2 and am hyped for a new Larian game, but the trailer was just very dated and over the top. I would've rathered had something more substantial that sold me on the story/characters. It felt like wannabe Berserk mixed with DmC: Devil May Cry's opening cutscene lmao

Dude, same. I chose Critical Mode because "it's a baby game made for Disney babies, surely I can handle hard mode". Needless to say, I'm now getting destroyed for underestimating the adventure lol

I liked the aesthetic of the game, but the combat has all the weight and fluidity of a brick.

That sucks. The consequences of game critics and journos saying every JP game is "very Japanese" as an insult in the 2000s and early 2010s knows no bounds.

Are there actually a lot of people like that? Everyone I've talked to that's loved the game also loved FFX, Lost Odyssey, Chrono Trigger, etc.

The Mirror's Edge out of bounds were crazy. I'm pretty sure there's one that lets you skip most of the level with the boat.

Watched @brickyo8.bsky.social stream it and he was crashing out in the first 15 minutes. It's soulcrushingly terrible in its writing and even worse in level design since most missions are lazy open world warzone chores

Almost everything I hear about Arc Raiders is so wholesome. I'm fascinated by why some PvP games become toxic hives of scum and villainy and why some become refuges of the good and virtuous.

Watch like 3 gaming videos, and you'll be recommended a slew of alt-right "games are woke now" content by grifters.
It's twofold, where miserable and awful people engage mostly in that content, and that content maintains high retention and viewer interaction, so it spreads far.

This is so true. There was a bit where I was absolutely miserable. I was just drowning in my own insecurities and assumed everyone else to be doing the same. I interpreted anyone showing an ounce of confidence as them being full of themselves. What fixed that was years of therapy and introspection.

but the one consistent thing I see is that people who either are miserable or make other people miserable tend to struggle with knowing themselves; some of them are addicted to misery, as my friend Phil put it--they want to moan about how life sucks and things are bad.
