@Rime

Why should he put a greater emphasis on particulars surrounding the game instead of the game itself when criticizing? He just happens to have different expectations about ocean-setting games and hoped Abzu would've filled that role better (in his opinion).

You read the description to understand WHY it's on here, right?

I think you're missing the point. These issue of available guns isn't about whether or not that conflicts with the "realism" of the open-world but the tone set by the narrative. It may also benefit from a design perspective by not having to cater such disparate methods of play. Imagine ALL story-missions in the game centered a more gadget-centric Spliter Cell-esque game.

Indeed. It's strange to see Ubisoft sitting on the Splinter Cell franchise.

"...but his reviews are the most detailed reviews you will find out there."

That may have been true on YouTube long ago when he first started, but there have been several other YT game reviewers/video essayists that've eclipsed him. Noah Caldwell-Gervais, Joseph Anderson, etc. can get more in-depth and don't have to bother us with cringe comedic bits padding out timing. Not to mention his analyses can often come off as generic. He'd be the type to c...

1.) "calls gamers for entitled bigots?" is such a bad way to structure that title.

2.) You--intentionally or not--disregarded context of this discussion. Moosa's initial tweet to this chain regards some random accusing him [Moosa] of body-shaming for criticizing FF15's Cindy. The tweet chain then starts with Moosa ranting about the stupidity of such an accusation.

3.) Why none of this was considered beforehand showcases why "ga...

Your old buddy beans is in! :D

To Crotaaa's credit, I decided to edit the title with that [ ] information so you didn't HAVE to click on article in order to get full story.

Cool. Now to port Transistor over. :/

I suppose at this point it's reasonable to suspect that's all it'll ever accomplish too. It would just be great to see the reins pulled in on that. Fruitless hope, I guess.

Wow...I can't believe that whole controversy never came to mind while writing this up. I still remember when I initially saw the news on twitter. That's a great point to bring up.

I appreciate that. Have some other stuff in the works already. :)

Nothing much, Alpha Male AuToFiRE. How are you doing?

I hope everyone enjoyed the blog. Please feel free to leave your comments and/or questions below.

Before you say it, the old saying "put your money where your mouth is" can apply to this site's GOTY awards too. I'm sure there's several ways we too can improve how those are handled. If you have suggestions on those (since I do have a bit of influence in this regard), let me know. Or send a PM to Christopher, our admin, on it. I'm always hopin...

Same here.

Personally, coolbeans appreciates the consistency. ;)

That's a very dangerous line of thinking b/c you may be disregarding one huge oversight: the possibility of a different reviewer from these big sites. He/She could have a completely different outlook on 13 than you think.

It's been running out of gas around the MW3/BO2 era, really. It's important to keep in mind that this is only USA figures (and not including digital too). But you're right: they are charting much lower than they used to make in the first week.

Yeah. I think amazon ended the 1/2 off deal when they reached x amount of orders.

Perhaps they'll refresh on Black Friday (or Cyber Monday).

Well...it did release on October 28th so I wouldn't hold much weight to its placement.

Right but the problem comes down to canon. EVERYTHING has to be connected according to the Star Wars Storyboard Team at Disney. And since everything except for Eps. 1-6 & The Clone Wars CGI series is now considered "Legends" (EDIT: from before the Disney purchase) it's very, very, very unlikely to happen.
