I'm fucking pissed that apparently UI/UX menu design peaked with Halo 3/Reach because I have not had a single menu in a vidya since then be anywhere near as fantastic as those two. The MCC/343 should be ashamed, of a lot of things, but especially those terrible fucking menus.

I love Kojima's work but fucking hell I wish he hired an editor to rip out approx 40-50% of his script.

Ia BO1 the best CoD campaign? MW2 2009 has incredible levels and operates on entertain cartoon meets propaganda meets military industrial complex logic, CoD4 has genuine commentary and also great levels, WaW is a maximalist depiction of WW2 brutality, but BO1 has great levels and a memorable story. Seems like the best all rounder too me.

What's overpowered in the beta?

We've been played, chooms. It is always the section for the journos that is the only polished one.

I cannot view Hotline Miami 1 and 2 as separate entities, they are too deeply entwined with each other mechanically and narratively I consider it a single work, HM2 enriches HM1 to the point I think it harms HM1 to remove HM2.

The state of Pokemon is Game Freak and TPC's fault, Nintendo themselves at worst are enabler.

TLOU2 is not only better than TLOU1, it is genuinely one of the best games made supported by great gameplay and fantastic film making and, shocking even myself, provides an amazing example of a story that could only be told as a vidya game, unlike Pt1 which was celebrated for it emulating other mediums. For context I personally loathe Pt1 being overrated, but respect it in a vacuum for being well executed.

CoDs golden years were legitimately fantastic games and Activision's scheme of studios leaping frogging release cycles was incredible business sense.

There's literally nothing wrong the Dangaronpa V3 ending, nor Half Life Alyx's, or Hotline Miami 2. Additionally Hotline Miami 2 is incredible and essential playing.

Highurashi is good but not good enough to justfy being longer than all of the original Dune books.
