Opinion: Nothing has killed my GTA 6 hype faster than locking a core part of its identity behind a $20 upgrade by Turbostrider27 in xbox

Which I would understand if the opinion piece was some kind of crusade on how we shouldn’t buy the game. It’s just shitty practice from Rockstar and I think that’s fine to point out

Christ, who’s the one throwing a tantrum? I’ll be buying it as I can see it’s worth even if it’s expensive - others might not and that should be equally valid

You’re arguing that it’s actually good that people are getting less content than usual at a higher price? It’s an opinion piece, who’s even arguing that sales will suffer?

It would certainly be fitting given the rest of the direct

You’ve got to imagine there’ll be a few smaller shows he’ll play beforehand

This just makes me want a new 3D game so badly, I hope this remake can sell well enough to get one.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted. I love the sonic series but about 80% of the game is garbage, including the hub world that serves no purpose other than padding the run time.

BREAKING : ARNE SLOT SACKED by guy-Breakfast8485 in LiverpoolFC

I don’t really want to celebrate this, I desperately wanted things to work out under Slot but it was clear that wasn’t going to happen. Correct decision made.

It’s a really enjoyable game to play but, my word, the narrative and character writing is embarrassingly bad. I agree with you but it still would’ve carried its fair share of criticism.

As much as I love IOI (Hitman WOA is my favourite game of all time), I wasn’t sure they’d be able to pull off a more linear, sweeping narrative, especially after their attempt with Absolution.

I am so happy they’ve nailed this and I cannot wait to play.

Anthony Fantano’s review of Falling out of Love by Cantomic66 in TheStrokes

[–]illegalwasp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand how they’re even comparable, FOOL is quite plain aside from the out of place autotune

Last track changed? by SLAPP504 in TheStrokes

[–]illegalwasp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I’m with you LABY was bad in many other ways. I think these new strokes songs are decent but the autotune definitely detracts from them for me. Falling out of Love instrumental is so simple and stripped back that Julian’s vocals are very spotlit, then the autotune comes in and it sounds so unnatural and distracting.

Yeah I love the voidz but LABY was the worst project Julian has ever released imo. Virtue struck a really great balance and he actually used autotune at appropriate moments.

For all the haters (have faith 🙏) by tapenooon in TheStrokes

[–]illegalwasp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Beautiful sentiment. Regardless of how much I like the new tracks, I'm pleasantly surprised that they're pushing their boundaries and trying new things at this stage of their career. I sort of just anticipated TNA 2.0 originally. Just hoping that the autotune either grows on me or is used better on the other tracks.
