It's so funny to me how many outlets are giving Spider-Man 2 a 9/10 and calling it a masterpiece.

What is a 10 out of 10 game to you, my guy

10/10 for a console exclusive is "A game I feel is worth getting death threats and constant online harassment over."

"Games can't be 10/10 because that means they are perfect in every way" is the same argument as "no student should ever get an A+ because there's always room to improve", i.e. cowardly and pedantic.

That game has all the misogyny you loved in the previous entries while also being much less fun!

I thought City was the peak of that particular problem tbh, random mooks were basically addicted to calling Catwoman a stupid bitch out of nowhere.

The answer to "what is a 10/10 game to a reviewer" is quite simply Elden Ring.

my hot take is that while Asylum is the best, Knight is better than City

That depends, are you willing to get through 50+ hours of MMO before reaching the parts of the story people care about.

Awesome. I saw that it now has unlimited time to play and with like 6 expansions free, I figured why not. My holdup before is I didnt want a monthly pass to play.

so, yes, if you're willing to accept a rather hefty up-front time investment, it's worth it

FF14’s story is not interesting enough to warrant the hundreds of hours it takes to go through it. I got about 80% of the way through heavensward, realized it had taken me like 100 hrs to get to that point and went on to better things

When I say the Arkham games, City in particular, are misogynistic, I'm not just referring to the way criminals treat Catwoman (namely, by forgetting every word in their vocabulary other than "bitch"), but more noticing the characters the writers seem to have active disdain for. In Arkham, the #1 character the writers seem to just loving despise from everything about the way she's generally portrayed is Harley Quinn.

The game is kinder to other characters (Ivy and Oracle get a fair amount of respect) but yeah Arkham Harley Quinn is a loving awful character in some extremely sexist ways.
