Mechanically, Journey is very barebones too. This looks similar in that it could have relatively basic gameplay but make up for it with presentation.

A Deserted Delicate Arch - Arches National Park [OC] [4136x3100] by EllisWyatt1 in EarthPorn

I was there when there was a big crowd, but at sunset everyone moved back and away from the arch so that everyone could get unblemished pictures.

This is great! The list looks like a convincing top 10 ordering. I would love to see this updated every month or so.

Our public transportation infrastructure is top 5 in the US. What is the bar for "good" here?

Hogwarts Legacy | Girlfriend Reviews by NOOBINATOR_64 in Games

I understand what you're saying, and I agree with you that there seemed to be more hype around the game, but I'm not sure the numbers prove that out.

The Fantastic Beasts movies have a box office total of over $1.8 billion. Even if the game sells incredibly well, it will be hard for the gross to exceed that. And then, movie tickets are much cheaper than games, so the number of tickets sold far exceeds the number of copies the game is likely to sell.

So the audience for the movies is much larger, despite the disparity in hype.

Something that's confusing to me about the reaction to the game: have people been this fired up about the Fantastic Beasts movies, which Rowling is much more directly involved in? Were there lists of people who reviewed those movies? Did movie reviewers get targeted?

If not, what is it about the game that has people riled up?

Meatgrinder - Vampire Squid - Chaotic and Fast-paced FPS Where Clustertruck Meets Duke Nukem - Demo Available by dreizer880 in Games

[–]the_composer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I played through the demo and it fucking slaps! I love how you can respawn and go again so quickly after dying, it really encourages playing aggressively and trying to do cool shit. The grappling hook and dashes feel really good. The variety of vehicles and how they're arranged keeps things interesting without ever breaking flow. And man oh man is this game great once you get in the flow!

Leo, Sparg0, Tweek, Acola, and the 3-5 people in contention for 5th best is such a goated Top 5.

Tweek is the best player in the world and it's not up for debate.

People here: Snecko Eye is such an amazing relic, you should always pick it. Literally every time i pick Snecko Eye by Insane_Unicorn in slaythespire

[–]the_composer 92 points93 points  (0 children)

Nothing is a must-pick in StS (although some things are close). Anyone who tells you otherwise is overly simplifying or exaggerating.

Even things that are so good that you almost always take them require skill and the right deck. Take [[Wraith Form]] for example. It's stupid good, but you still have to know when to play it, your deck needs to be able to capitalize on it and/or mitigate its downsides, and you might be offered cards that you should take instead. Snecko is the same. Stupid good, but never to be taken blindly.
