There is quite a bit of subjectivity in assessing anything that could be considered a form of artistic expression.

Some stuff ultimately receives more praise and sometimes appears to have an objective quality to it, but ultimately it breaks down to each of us having our own tastes and forming opinions around that.

I sometimes get annoyed by the idea that something being popular or being expensive somehow makes it intrinsically good. Not always.

I wish ragnarok hit more notes with me than it did. I can still see some elements of it that are of high quality but my issues with the story make me less inclined to want to play it again.

Ive just got to retrain my brain to measure quality through critical acclaim, dollars spent, and hype generated.

The merits of the actual story/gameplay or the product itself isn’t factored into the equation.

Gears is a guilty pleasure. My mind tells me that its a rehash, but I'll end up playing it anyway.

Whoa, easy on those grotesque western female character designs. You’re going to offend anyone who apparently finds that shite attractive or defends it for political/social capital. :lol:

not the leading role and we are used to ugly/mid Sony franchise female characters, generally speaking.

the blue hair ladies they have in their art design departments must fricking hate the hell out of pretty women. :lol:

I saw a screencap of Debra Wilson with an eyepatch, so can't wait to see Debra Wilson as Debra Wilson in 'we needed a black actress'.

And ‘ughie done a runna and ended up a fruity cube in da bleedin’ Norse divine pantheon’s pearly gates.

I beat it earlier this week. I thought it was a decent origin story for Bond set in a modern day setting that made enough sense without any overt preachy modern day themes thrown in. Greenway and Q were both good supporting cast members.

It would have been nice if IO had the ability to make the exploration sections as open ended as their hitman missions, but what we got was fine.

Sony’s ps5 offerings have been so disappointing. :lol:

a major selling point of the n64 were as follows: 3d graphics, 64 bits rather than 32, and an upgrade to 'realism'. to our 2026 eyes, it looks like microwaved dogshit, but back then, it was very much marketed on its fidelity.
