it is definitely an interesting watch lol, actually really excited to see that last one bc i liked this one a bunch, even though i still think the first one mostly sucks.

!!! you look incredible!

HUH. that ending sure is something. i see why this one's polarizing.

OH THEY ARE SO SJFSHFBDBFBDDBE

and suddenly it's a heist movie. oh, this movie fucking RULES. it's so good. i LOVE the first movie, don't get me wrong. there's no universe in which this is not just outclassing it in every way so far. the ending could really fuck it up, but right now this is like so much better.

honestly, actually, the references here are quite cool. like Spider-Man 2, The Thing, and also Thing from the Addam's family. like, a bunch of neat stuff.

by the way, much more interesting use of AI than Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning in which AI might as well not exist despite being the big bad. so that's always fun. that movie is so weird. anyway, this movie is a blast. i cannot fathom how people did not love this.

disappointed by the lack of a makeover montage, that would have pushed this into camp classic territory.

i mean, if it's meant to be a subtle nod that's nice, if you think you're getting that past anybody, um, can you be fucking serious?

i mean seriously, how lazy do you have to be to not even read the articles, they aren't even 10 paragraphs, literally less than a five minute read each, and you have the gall to use them as examples in your 2 hour+ video? what a fucking poser.

how bold and ironic to be accusing someone of being too illiterate to critique something, and using headlines from articles you haven't even fucking read, or worse, you have read and disagree with, just loudly announcing yourself as a piece of shit.

and from the second one. this one actually at least does specifically ask for an easy mode but it's still like a conversation starter. the author did nothing except say they would like more options in game rather than hitting walls. but someone who doesn't read beyond headlines wouldn't know that.

literally from that first article he uses lol. like come on.

what prompted this btw. what a fucking LOSER.

also i will avoid going on a whole tangent about how these people clearly don't see games as art and never engage with them as pieces of art if they're making these jokes, but you know this could be a 200+ post thread with no effort.

for a graphic that's placed at the end of the review. i mean, the joke being made is literally by people who haven't even read the actual article by Dean or the actual articles for all those headlines they like to use as evidence of "game journalists" being weak baby gamers with no skill.

funny enough we have a similar gaming related thing to compare to, so, i assume any person making "gAmE JoUrNaLiSt" jokes is the type of person who thinks "too much water" was a literal and legitimate criticism from that writer at IGN and not like. a quick way to summarize the actual critique—
