Is it the same writer from 3, because that guy was definitely up his own rear end back then.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

Jeff Cannata is a dork but he's like Tom Chick in that everyone dunks on him for having bad opinions. I wish there were more video game talking heads with bad opinions, they're fun to think about.

This right here is the big problem with early access in general. I think people were already skeptical of it in the first place. But releasing it THIS EARLY with THIS MUCH placeholder poo poo and doing literally nothing to make people think this is anything but Fortnite and PUBG mashed together to quickly cash in on the Battle Royale thing is such a monumentally stupid idea. First impressions are everything and this is the thing people are gonna think about, not whatever the finished product will look like.

At least do what Darkest Dungeon did and release a mostly finished game into early access instead. IDK how PUBG managed to do what it did considering what a garbage pile it was in early access but there was no way Radical Heights was gonna be able to accomplish that same thing

That's exactly what I was thinking when I was playing it. If you are a high profile person like CliffyB why the gently caress would you even think of releasing this poo poo at this stage. The only thing I can think of is trying to get crowd funding from people who think they are on the ground floor for something special.

Radical Heights sure is special.

It's not really nihilistic. Nihilism has never been cool but it can be amusing in movies/games. The ending of 5 isn't coherent enough to be nihilistic, because the game doesn't actually explain what the gently caress exactly happened.

I can think of more Ubisoft games that end with a main/secondary character in a hopeless situation/despair than ones that don't.

But mainly it's because almost every one of those did it as a way to entice players about a potential sequel. But sometimes the sequels wouldn't come.

Or, or sometimes there would be a sequel but that plot point was never even addressed at all. This is the only ending for the first Rabbids game.

I don't hate Jeff Cannata but /Filmcast is maybe the worst movie podcast ever, and that's saying something since movie podcasts are pretty bad on average.

the doofy part isn't that he likes the game but that he feels the only way to qualify how good it is is comparing it to a bunch of completely different games

people upset at that tweet need to have a good hard look at themselves, particularly anyone who was most angry at the inhumanity of comparing dark souls to A PLEB GAME. it's so unoffensive like who cares

his comment that he got more hate from that than all his tweets about politics is extremely telling though lol

"every man woman and child on earth should play this" from EZ Allies was def more funny and ridiculous but the tweet from Cannata was more triggering because it mentions Zelda/Dark Souls
