This is one of the silliest things about video games. There is so much quality content available, but gamers love to complain about the only game they play. They could just play something else, but then they wouldn’t feel morally superior, or something? It’s very silly. I play GT7 frequently and some of the complaints from the community are just ridiculous.

James has been a gift for fans.

What will Jos do with his life after Max retires? Fuck this dude.

It’s been a problem for awhile. The media needs clicks so saying something is 7.5/10 doesn’t really drive engagement. Gamers have especially fed into this narrative because the media surrounding new products is always filled with hype and billed as the next greatest thing. It’s caused justified pushback from the community, but I think the pendulum has swung a bit in the other direction now. It’s tough feeling lukewarm about something when you’ve been told it’s supposed to be great. Additionally, the publishers, and some developers, in this industry are greedy cutthroats, which has made them easy targets for people’s frustration. The problem is now that frustration is focused on EVERYTHING involving the games industry.

Fair, but Mercedes also has a long history of success in motorsports.

No, but that’s why they have pushed into motorsports so hard. They currently sell some pretty impressive performance cars, but I’ll bet dollars to donuts that the Escalade is their top seller. They’re trying to upscale the brand by having it associated with Ferrari, Mercedes, Audi, Aston Martin, and McLaren.

A few years ago I wanted to take some classes at a community college, and one of their requirements is to take an assessment test to see where you’re at with everything. I told myself there’s no way I wanted to take any remedial math classes, so I used Khan Academy to refresh my skills, and I actually learned some new techniques. It’s great!

This is why online multiplayer is just dead to some people.

At least he’s being honest about expectations. Williams has a chance to really take a big step forward from the back of the pack to genuinely competitive.

It’s crazy how nepotism almost completely ruined this team. I’m really hopeful they can take another step forward this year

I thought I noticed something interesting with the front wing, and then I just realized it’s the persons foot standing behind it.

I disagree with part 2 “jumping the shark”. The first game starts out with

Tap for spoilerJoel’s daughter being killed
which was much more “twist the narrative just for shock value”. The game itself is an enjoyable playthrough, it’s just a depressing story. Joel deserved what he got.
