That doesn’t justify putting his face on the problems of other popes.

Looking at the history honestly would mean using a picture of a more appropriate Pope.

Because Spider-Man was a very popular, well-recived game both critically and commercially, from the same studio.

They had a standard of expectation and didn’t meet it.

It was 14 years between those games. It’s a good mechanic that deserved to be dusted off. There were a bunch of other Spiderman games between them that didn’t do it. The Insomniac Spiderman had better everything else too, people really forget what that old Spider-Man 2 game was like outside of the swinging mechanics.

HL2’s airboat and vehicle sections weren’t on-rails like this. You could get out and explore at any point with all the mechanics available to you. They even made it into a gigantic wave defense set piece for the final battle at the end of Episode 2.

No I’m telling you that you should probably look up what backshots are.

Instead of, you know, rawdogging terms you read but didn’t look up.

That’s not what backshots are

Note the absence of any sentiment like “because he has more money than me”.

Seems how? They didn’t say anything like that. You think the issue with this guy is because he’s rich and nothing else?

The funny thing is I’ve seen people saying the exact same thing you are to people laughing at Charlie Kirk getting killed, while doing their best to ignore all the things he stood for, said, and did. Right down to immediately accusing the person of adopting (an incorrect idea of) Nazism by not valuing all lives as precious. Just think about the brainpower behind people who think those laughing at Charlie Kirk are like the Nazis but not Charlie “Civil Rights was a mistake” Kirk.

There’s gotta be a term for people who get all righteous about treating all lives as precious while they ignore that the person in question actively makes the world worse.

Why are you telling someone who looks down on CEOs that he should also hate Jews alongside the Nazis?

It’s not noble to find the nuances in child rape

No it isn’t, and you can’t name more because there’s no more of the ending of the first game in the second. It’s a couple of flashbacks at the start of the game. And there’s still zero plot or story changes to how the first game ended.

The video I linked shows the hospital is still dingy and dirty throughout, and you’re coming back with a cropped screenshot.

If your house is as squeaky clean as that hospital, you’re Asmongold.

Your idea of a retcon is that the hospital looks different in the sequel game in that tiny cutscene you see? It’s not even true, the hospital is still dirty and dingy. You’re also claiming a character having a wishful opinion is a retcon.

Neither of these are retcons.

There’s zero plot or story changes here too to even start making the assertion a retcon happened. How and why are you escalating to accusing the entire TLOU2 of being a fanfic because of two extremely minor things about the previous game, one of which isn’t even true.

I wouldn’t call it “Walking Dead” style. If anything, it wears its Cormac McCarthy influences on its sleeve. If the first game was The Road, the second game is Blood Meridian. The story is intentionally dreary, miserable, uncomfortable, and emotionally draining. Kotaku’s review of the game was pretty on the money for a lot of people, it’s entirely possible to be so put off by the tone and story of the game because it’s so miserable.

The thing is that you play as Ellie and then as Abby to get both perspectives on the story. The entire message of the game is that revenge and unending conflict a downward spiral of self-destruction. Joel gets done dirty… but so does everyone. That’s the whole point of the game.

I dunno what you heard but the Fireflies didn’t get retconned.

Did what in the second one? Made the stealth action more involved?

I was just thinking the same. I remember when she was everywhere.

It was confirmed in Fire and Fury by Wolff that GamerGate was indeed Steve Bannon’s POC of MAGA.

His news outlet Breitbart and working partner Milo Yannopolis were the main instigators of it.

Reviews and editorials were never described as “gaming journalism” before GamerGate. The fact that Gamergate successfully convinced everyone that editorials and reviews can be called “journalism”, even people who opposed Gamergate, was their biggest victory.

GamerGate was a Steve Bannon POC for MAGA and it wasted no time in setting the stage for Lügenpresse by inappropriately using the term to describe opinion pieces they knew they could get angry young men to get outraged over to start getting people used to the idea of demeaning journalism as a whole. “MSM” was just the MAGA version of “gaming journalism”, but more refined since they realized with their POC that demeaning all “journalism” meant that any that they tried to spin up never got any traction because it was also “journalism”.

I once saw a company block Firefox through its corporately mandated antivirus software.
