Properly finished God of War, beat The Valkyrie Queen and got all the collectibles and favours.

Totally outstanding. I liked the "smaller" open world. It went for deep dives into more confined individual areas more than huge, sprawling landscapes which was a welcome change and differentiated it a bit imo

Breitbart or not he linked to a source that includes a fact

Breitbart almost certainly distorted said fact and misrepresented it but unless you're denying that it actually happened then prepare a counter to it (if you're going to actually engage Vlado, that is - which you will do because you are fucking addled). I think you should link to more reputable news sources than somewhere like that but you can corroborate or get the other side of said story yourself. This is just childish shit.

How are you losing to Vlado? Just fucking stop.

Yeah, stealth or maybe even like using the enemies as obstacles, more than encounters - they cut off certain routes, require you to maybe use the environment against them, you dodge around them while running or maybe slide-attack them to take them down and keep running, or do jumping kicks to the head and keep running.

I think sections of the game where you slow down and stop moving forward are important, but not because you're in combat - it should be because you need to work out what gymnastic skill she needs to get to the next area. And then get into the fast-paced part. Combat shouldn't really be one of those obstructions.

I still think Medge has amazing potential as a franchise though. So much. Hope it'll be realized someday but I doubt it.

I suppose my issue with the combat is not the new mechanics but that the game emphasized it more and that combat encounters were more time-consuming.

I really didn't like the combat

Had moments of satisfying style but generally you just sort of ran around hitting them and running away. I actually liked the combat in the original more because it didn't sacrifice flow as often.

I was disappointed with Catalyst

They screwed up the open world and there weren't enough levels that really showed off how truly exhilarating Mirror's Edge can be

That said, when it fired, it really fired.

Oh

I played and finished Shadow of the Colossus for PS4

I forgot how great that game was. It was still amazing but more than anything it gave me appreciation for the original technical feat. I have absolutely no earthly idea how they got Colossus 13 onto a PS2. Outstanding. It didn't feel small or primitive on the console. What a game.

Also finished South Park: The Fractured But Whole

Really enjoyed both games, think I preferred FBH because I like Super Heroes more than elves and what have you and the battle system was more interesting. Using so many characters at once in battle was better. The last hour being completely nuts was fun too. I was really pleased with what they did with the license. Probably my favourites licensed console games in...well, god. A long time.

That said - great effort by Tom and GTM keeping it alive this long. It's been nice to have around as a reminder. I don't mean to demean what you've been doing here, more saying if you wanted to stop then I have no problem with it

I do kind of want to see it through to the end too though.

I always thought Strange was kind of structurally weird. Absolutely no time is skipped (lol) from when he starts messing with the eye. From there it just goes non-stop until the end. I thought it should have taken a breather at some point there. It has nice cool-down scenes like the one with Strange and Ancient One but there's that background urgency to them all.

It's not inherently a deflecting tactic, it exposes dishonesty or maybe subconscious double standards people have. The problem is it's being used as one, used dishonestly.

I think it's valid to accuse people of it sometimes but that it's now being thrown around, and that's damaging because I see it as being fairly useful

To change the subject a bit I've been annoyed about whataboutism lately. The word has been thrown around a lot since Trump started his campaign because people keep using it to defend him.

The thing about whataboutism is that it's not at all a bad thing to do sometimes, as far as I can see. It exposes double standards and agendas. Like are you really attacking Trump because you care about issue X, or are you just doing it because you want to attack Trump? And if so, what about when Bill Clinton or Obama did something similar - did you attack them then? And then the person admits their double standard or (more likely) explains how the two issues are different, clarifying why he thinks what Trump did is bad but what Obama did is fine. But that's good - clarifying your exact stance is great and part of why we have arguments.

I don't think it's inherently a bad thing, but obviously the danger is that the topic of conversation shifts away from the person currently being accused and obviously you can draw false equivalencies. But that can be avoided if you do it honestly.

People are up in arms to accuse people of whataboutism at the moment, sometimes with merit, but it's not absolutely wrong imo. It's not inherently a deflecting tactic, it exposes dishonesty or maybe subconscious double standards people have. The problem is it's being used as one, used dishonestly. But that doesn't mean the word should just be thrown around every time like it's the worst thing. I keep seeing people accuse each other of whataboutism and it's like...well yeah, they're trying to expose your double standard or to see if you have one.

Idk, am I wrong? It's such a popular word at the moment.
