  • IGN giving TLOU part 2 a 10/10 is the same thing as they did with TWD: ANF, which is not surprising.

  • Well I think Redux would have already accomplished that- this is honestly just a joke making fun of all the "telltale leakz" that come from that subreddit that get so much traction there despite the fact none of them turned out true. (also I do plan to release what Im working on here so then everyone would just think I made all the other Telltale leak stuff lmao) You know also cuz...

  • There was one where you could start a hunger games with any people you choose, but most of the results are randomized. I can get you a link if you have interest in it . Or if you are looking to have a computer guess someone you are thinking of you could go with Akinator. But most of the entertainment comes when it guesses wrong (Which I have no doubt you could make a fool out of it).

    Other than that, you could try searching 'character competitive roster' or something a bit more smart. There have to be some hidden gems out there waiting to be found.

  • Hm, intriguing. I believe I saw that Hunger Games one at some point.

    I'm mainly looking for grouping or creative display templates to potentially change up.

  • I strongly doubt Kirkman is doing anything other than having a bit of fun with that. If my memory is right, he concluded the Issue #193, the last issue of The Walking Dead Comics with "PS Negan Lives" knowing that Negan has a strong following of fans that were desperate for more Negan. Obviously, since then, Kirkman produced a one-off comic dedicated to Negan, but I doubt Clementine will receive the same treatment, and I'm kind of glad. Don't get me wrong, if I had to trust anyone affiliated with Skybound to pen a Clementine Story, Kirkman would be the guy, he's a genius, but I think he knows when it's best to leave a Story well enough alone.

    Kirkman is definitely aware of that fanbase that's desperate for more Clementine, who also happens to have a massive following, she's practically in the Top 3 most beloved characters in the franchise, and knows that his "Letter Hacks" section is picked apart by fans, so in mentioning her, it creates quite a bit of hysteria and buzz, but doesn't everything he says do just that? I mean, look at how he "revealed" the cause of the virus, he jokingly responded "Space Spore." and media outlets jumped on it as the real thing, he later came out and said it was a joke.

    To be honest, I think Skybound are sticking to keeping Clementine's Story closed, rather than open it up again, they haven't much reason to continue her Story, and putting her into a Comic Book format wouldn't work because of the various branching paths her Story takes, unless he pens and prints different versions that take into account these various branching paths, which would be costly and time consuming, he definitely won't be doing it.

    So to summarise, I wouldn't take it as a hint, Kirkman loves to joke around, Clementine's Story will most likely remain concluded

    Well, I guess you're right.

    But it's not surprising when IGN likes something and gives it a higher score and most of the fandom are not surprised either or they get pissed off.

    I have a question for you, do you like both TLOU 2 and ANF or don't like neither?

    The Reviewers for both games just enjoyed them for what they were?

  • My mistake, I wasn't aware that you were in such a position where you were determining whether or not their profession is a professional one. Well done! The pay must be pretty nice :wink:

    Last I checked, IGN is a major media review site, with several professional reviewers with qualifications and experience in journalism working at the company, just because two of their reviewers actually enjoyed a game(s) that's almost 4 years old and has a completely exaggerated negative reputation because the internet is great at exaggerating and making big temper tantrums, while another that wasn't afraid to go bold and tell a Story that is controversial, that doesn't make them non-professionals, a less nonsensical conclusion to come to is that they, being the reviewers, have had their desires as to what they want in a game satisfied by the games they reviewed.

    Why should they have to bend to the faceless child mob that is the majority of Communities that throw the toys out of the pram when a reviewer actually likes a game that is disliked by said Community? You go to a reviewer for their opinion on a game, to determine whether or not to buy it, I just think it's absolutely silly, and a waste of time, to watch the review when you already have your own opinion on it, and to then slander and insult them because they like it.

  • Can't please everyone, the reviewer can only please themselves by performing a review to the best of their ability, their biggest fear is the "fandom", the group of people that call themselves fans, but really spend their time sending death threats, sexist comments, the whole shebang to the reviewer who simply did their duty.

    I have no opinion on The Last of Us Part II, except that, which is often the case, parts that people don't like are exaggerated upon, treated as a grave sin, regarded as lazy, unprofessional, suddenly everyone becomes a condescending critic that feels they have the power to chat complete and utter horseshit to the people behind the game with a feeling of justification behind their silly attacks. Anyway I'll watch The Last of Us Part II on YouTube, as I don't have a PS4, then I'll have an opinion on it.

    As for The Walking Dead: A New Frontier (even uttering the name opens the gates to an angry mob, just wait and see :wink: ) I enjoyed it, thoroughly, it isn't my favourite Season, but I still have a blast while playing it. The game itself isn't actually as bad as people make out, but, in comparison to the other Seasons in the Main Series, it would be last for me, doesn't mean I view it as bad, but I enjoyed the others more.

    I'm certain there'll be a particular few reading this statement readying the pitchforks and getting ready to say I have "no taste in games", or I'm a "fanboy", or some other laughable content to put into their angry comments, to which I say... bring it :smile:

    ... How does someone liking something you don't make them unprofessional?

    A reviewers job is to present their opinion and then provide a recommendation based on that. Should the reviewer have written a negative review despite liking the final product just to appease a faceless mob?

  • They should have noted that the game has flaws which would definitely divide the playerbase but they did not. Critics don't mean anything anymore if they care more about graphics and gameplay than the story, especially the story-driven ones. They are all paid slimeballs.

    They should have noted that the game has flaws which would definitely divide the playerbase but they did not.

    Because they probably didn't regard what you consider to be a flaw as an actual flaw that would result in such a cantankerous reaction from the fanbase.

    Critics don't mean anything anymore if they care more about graphics and gameplay than the story, especially the story-driven ones.

    But the first three minutes of the IGN review is the guy literally explaining about why he liked the story so much and why he found it to be compelling experience? He spends more time talking about the story than he does with the gameplay and graphics.

    They are all paid slimeballs.

    Unless they conform with your own beliefs and opinions right?

  • Yes, critics do get paid money, I'd be concerned if critics working for major media platforms were not being paid for their work, but you think they are paid off to give a game good reviews? Surely something like that would be immediately revealed by an insider, why is it that hasn't actually happened, with one exception I can think of being the Xbox One and Larry Hryb calling to houses of YouTube influencers to promote the console, unless the claim is just pure nonsense? If such a thing was actually true, it would be an earthquake-like event in the industry if discovered.

    There's nothing wrong with giving praise to graphics and gameplay, reviewing those are part of the review process no? There are players that do prioritise graphics and gameplay over Story and vice versa, there's nothing wrong with that, they aren't any less a player than you and I. People dig games for their own reasons, there is an incentive for everyone, for me, I like a good Story and something fun, if I see something that's one or the other, or even both, I'll go for it. With a game like The Last of Us, the centre of attention is its narrative, and I'm sure IGN and other outlets spoke about the Story, some liked, some disliked, why is it that those who liked it are less professional to you? I'm sure their college qualifications and experience for other outlets tell a different Story than the narrative you believe in.

  • Now this is a revenge story done right. The Last of Us 2 should take notes from this great writing.

  • My absolute favorite episode of Avatar, bar none, AChickn can vouch for me on that. Everything about this episode is perfection, and you know what, you’re entirely right. If Neil and ND wanted to go in the direction they did, then something like this should have been the way to go.

  • Definitely an amazing episode centering on Katara's grief.

    I can't believe you're already near the end of Season 3!
    Hot damn, man! Tell us your thoughts on the finale when you see it! It's truly the most action-packed and most ambitious thing in the series.

    Wraps things up pretty perfectly.

  • Danny Trejo is actually a really wholesome person who loves Animal Crossing and I am so on board for this.

  • I got caught up on the latest Dragon Ball Super arc in the manga.

    I honestly, was shocked to see the new artist return to the roots of Dragon Ball. I really enjoy the introduction of the new villain, Moro, he has a very refreshing character design. And he reminds me of a bit of Freeza and his character traits. I was also kind of surprised to see the amount of blood and violence, it's a thing that was a staple in DBZ. But, in DBS they censored it. Overall, a very good story!

    Oh, and I read Toyble's Dragon Ball AF fanfic! I honestly read a lot of manga this weekend. lol

  • Hot damn, I swear every day there's been over a dozen people being outed as being some sort of pedophile or sexual predator in the gaming community.

    I mean it's good that all these people are getting outed but I did not expect this many people.
