yeah I was gonna say...that ain’t on Kind of Blue...

Ah yes. Nothing wrong with anything from Kind of Blue Read more

Yet to play this, but then again the last God of War I played was the second one. I might go back and play the third, I do own it I think. Read more

This article is very well timed. I just got to this point in the story last night. I have been exploring and doing all of the favors and side things I possibly could between story quests. I timed this perfectly because I had just unlocked the last combat skills I had left for Kratos, right before getting to this point Read more

The scene itself was badass, but the dialogue 100% ruined the surprise. Right when you drop off Atreus at Freya’s house she looks at the camera and says “your axe won’t hurt the FROZEN ENEMIES” to which Kratos replies “then I must return home AND GET SOMETHING FROM MY PAST, SOMETHING PROBABLY HOT” before also turning Read more

When he looked at his wrists and said “I must go home,” I had chills. Read more

It was a solid sequence in a pretty much great game all around. Enough that I powered through the campaign while doing side-stuff over the weekend...and I want more. I’m going to dive back in for the other post-game stuff, and craft better gear, and I want some DLC. Read more

Everything was great. The music, the change in scenery, the colors, the pain and regret Kratos was feeling just so he could try to save his son. Read more

The only thing that pains me about this moment is that i’m never going to experience it for the first time again. It was simply brilliant and i enjoy it SO much. Perfect timing too! Read more

I just got to this last night. I couldn’t believe it hadn’t been spoiled for me. It was an exceptional video game experience, definitely one of the best I’ve ever experienced... but as a “GoW superfan” I thought I’d be in the minority. Glad to see most people who play this game will appreciate it (assuming it isn’t Read more

I hadn’t made it to this part of the game and I’m so glad that I moved past the SPOILER WARNING and read the chat. Read more

Easily my top gaming moment of the year so far. Kudos to the Sony marketing team for not including them at all in advertising, that’s a level of self-control that I wish more publishers would have.

I think I let out a gasp when I got to that lake area and saw that I could do side quests...in a god of war game. Read more

Yes, all the optional stuff is so good. Everything in the game is high quality, no throwaway side content at all.

This is ultimately why I probably will not go back to the show. The pilot is one of the greatest TV pilots I have ever seen. It is interesting, compelling, fun, odd, gorgeous... just really top notch. But then it just goes downhill from there as the show starts fucking with character motivations and backstory and Read more

I just found the whole episode profoundly boring. It feels like Westworld is trying to be extremely clever with its multiple timelines, story lines, and “mysteries”, but in the end feels more like Trumpian-level-clever and falls flat. Omitting information and speaking in vague riddles doesn’t make for an interesting Read more

My feelings exactly. I watched season 1 once a year ago, and by the end of the “Previously On...” I was already confused. The rest of the episode did not help. Read more

All through the episode I was only thinking of ways how they could mindfuck the viewers this time. Came to a conclusion that future Bernard is actually someone else (Dolores ie.) by switching their robo brains. Read more
