The older I get the more I start to think BBQ potato chips are the worst flavor, actually.

Having finished TLOU2, imagine people being mad to play as Abby when she had the best content in the fucking game
Well not being able to review half of your game for a review is on par with what Ubisoft did with Middle Earth Shadow Of War. And yeah, I don't think that's particularly beneficial to anyone either.
Reviewers weren't allowed to actually mention specifics about Metal Gear Solid 2's story and the marketing actively lied. Deceptive marketing and review guidelines are nothing new and if there weren't any leaks then I guarantee reviewers wouldn't even mention that the game has two playable characters actually.
Also neither MGS 2 or TLOU2 suffered critically (professionally, anyway) or commercially because of this.
Although I know many people who consider CD Project Red, one of the last "good Triple A" companies.
That's because they present themselves as consumer friendly because they give away shit like 'hair style: ponytail' for free (while charging for DLC except it's called an expansion pack for the max cred) and have cultivated this 'not like other devs' persona despite them having fewer active employees than other AAA studios yet still have insane crunch that gets swept under the rug because at the end of the day many gamers don't actually give a shit about crunch time if they like the end result.
CD Projekt Red putting a soundtrack and goodies in every copy of Cyberpunk doesn't absolve them of their behind the scenes sins, or at least it shouldn't but at the end of the day that's the only thing that will matter because of the whole 'unlike other devs, we care about the consumer!'
Has it reached 200 gigs yet
and Abby is hot, would bang 8.5/10
I can't comment on the other stuff since I've not finished it (though I agree with, like, most of it) but this is the best take and fuck ya'll if you disagree.
Also, starting a betting pool on Cyberpunk 2077. What will it be? A masterpiece. A 'Watch Dogs'. Or a 'No Man's Sky' (before it supposedly got good.) My money is firmly on mediocre at best.
Well it's made by CD Projekt Red so it will be fucking overlong and a chore and it will constantly feel 'off' playing it movement and combat wise but will be seen as a masterpiece despite a story that will likely not dig much further than "corporations bad" but still the overtly sociopolitical nature of the genre will be overlooked by a disproportionately high number of players because of breathtaking Keanu Reeves and bright colors.
So like a 4/5.
Anyway to cycle back to TLOU2 for a moment, the problem(s) with that game aren't the story. It's just like...really boring and almost comical how one minute they'll show a group of enemies talking about religiously murdering people but then you kill one of them and another one pisses his pants in fear as if stabbing them in the neck is somehow too far but tying them up and beating them and then also slitting their throats is perfectly fine. This game wants to do something like the dogtags from MGS2 except in MGS2 you could get through the whole game nonlethal and in TLOU2 it's actively more difficult to do so and having faceless personalityless characters scream "OH NO THEY KILLED CHUCK!" doesn't make me or I assume anyone else feel bad for having killed them especially given that the setting is constantly a 'kill or be killed' situation and you are actively being sought out specifically to be killed.
Also it's fucking crazy the amount of gameplay to narrative disconnect there is since like...Ellie has a knife on her the entire fucking time but until you find a book and take a bunch of pills to unlock 'faster stealth kills' she never once thinks "Oh yeah, maybe if I slit their throat instead of choke them it'd be, like, way less effort."
Naughty Dog makes boring games.
@Majoras End Specifically the Dr. Disrespect one this time but that there's enough to wonder is the worst
So, how bout that Twitch drama am I right
