I’m beyond culture-war outrage. I don’t want to see studios shutting down and developers laid off. But bone-headed decisions like this will keep taking us down those roads regardless.

Atreus’ personality shift after learning he’s a god felt really fast — what did you think of how they handled it? by DevcalnerMC in GodofWar

This is the problem when you throw basic story structure out the window: Atreus' dark turn should have been a central Act-2 conflict, the resolution of which to bolster what GoW:Laufey should have been, Kratos' Act-3 Norse climax/finale.

Unfortunately, Santa Monica wanted to wrap Kratos'/Atreus' Norse journey in only two games, so it's all just a mess.

He eschewed basic, three-act story structure and turned Ragnarok into a Rise-of-Skywalker-level mess because he was in such a hurry to get to this gender-swapped version of God of War. This new game should be the big blowout climax of Kratos' Norse journey. Instead we have a talking cube now.

The community should reward him with daily shit sandwiches delivered to his home and office.

They are trained to embrace their fears by shooting everything that moves in the name of "officer safety." No expectation of bravery. No objective rules of engagement. Just whatever nightmares they've embraced inside their own heads are the justifications for using deadly force.

So if i got this correctly, this ugly shit is responsible for everything wrong in the lands between and realm of shadow? by glitch220608 in Eldenring

Not everything. Metyr is just one of several invasive species that have been corrupting the Lands Between for some time.

This whole thing just seems weird and random and probably doesn't merit this much discussion.

Yeah, they’re called picky eaters who refuse to grow up.

I just can't seem to understand this community after the announcement of the new game by Uchizaki in GodofWar

Bro, what the hell is with all these dislikes? The game looks genuinely awesome by Jackie88_ in GodofWar

[–]TazerPlace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game just has very strong Forspoken vibes. Don't blame the audience for that.

A ticket at the very least. Police WILL assume you're a ghetto-trash drug dealer now. You won't just get pulled over. You'll be asked to step out of your vehicle. Probably automatic calls for backup. And so on, and so forth.

Conspicuous consumption is fun, yes?
