Short Pause:
"The Short Pause crew chimes in on the latest happenings within the video game industry. The topics this week include:
- Thanks to multiple controversies surrounding many AAA game franchises, as well as their publishers, the fellas talk about the recent developments that have gamers in an uproar.
- Ben finally gets his hands on Batman: Arkham Knight and he can barely contain his excitement.
- Nintendo dedicates an entire week to making idiotic statements that make the fellas, and most of the gaming world, laugh.
- Much, much MORE!"
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
One way or another, these games provoked strong reactions.
I don't think Days Gone divided fans. For the most part, gamers loved it. It was the reviewers who were divided. Self-loathing racist pieces of shit that took exception to the main character being white. This was a fantastic game, one of the best open-world games I ever played, and I've played them all.
For the most part, when it comes to Last of Us 2, incels, homophobes, and closet national socialist types didn't like it. I repeat not all, but most.
Days Gone is a great game and it was attacked by the leftist socialist people that are actually closet fascists. As a great poet once said: "Socialism is the mother of fascism."
The Order got hit from anti-Sony Xbox fans.
Out of these 3, Last of Us 2 stands above as being a work of art. It's still generating a ton conversation to this day.
Amazing gameplay, but TLOU2 had one of the worst, most convoluted and uneccessary plots I ever seen in a sequel. Terrible story and the characters were forgettable. I didn't give an F about anyone in the story.
I don't think any of these divided fans, other than LoU2. The rest were either victims of biased reviews or just generally agreed that they weren't as good as they could've been or just overall disappointing.
Batman: Arkham Knight wasn't in the best shape when it swooped onto Switch at the end of last year. Fortunately, the game has today received a monster 16GB update, one that's guaranteed to fix all of its problems, right? Well...
Another rushed port job, it's disappointing to see better looking games run/perform better than a game from 2015
Dummying down a game that is meant to run on XB1 and PS4 is going to be challenging to run on a system that is probably as powerful as a PS3. I give them a congrats for bringing it to the Switch and I hope this challenge pays off for them. As for me grabbing Arkham Knight on the Switch I am good I have the PS4 version.
Batman: Arkham Knight Still Runs Poorly On Switch Despite Massive Update........ But is still a better game than suicide squad *fixed the title*
Normally I try not to pay attention to angry gamers because most times they consist of people with a false sense of entitlement, but with the recent botch job that is the Batman Arkham Knight port, as well as the Destiny conundrum, I can see why there is so much anger. Though it is sort of funny seeing the "PC Master Race" stomping their feet and pouting, but then again, I'm not a PC gamer, so may I should sympathize a little?
I don't know, maybe cause the state of gaming is so ludicrous we are past the point of justifying every ridiculous bullsh*t thing that comes down the pike.
Id like MORE anger and less complacency, in more than just gaming I should add as well.
Because we're not heroes. We're silent guardians. We're Dark Knights.
Destiny was the first game in a long time that I played religiously every day. I didn't even hesitate to stop playing it once they botched the taken king reveal. It was so atrocious I literally vomited in my mouth a little. I think it's time companies start to realize that just because their game is great, doesn't mean gamers can't put the disc back in the case and put in another great game with a company that has a better stance on delivering to the fans.
