That's ignorant, but I can't be mad at a snarky female on Twitter.

That's cool but how does it fucking play?
Caleb Clark
yeah, but is it fun? Games are massive time sinks, TLOU2 comes out to 25 hours I think. I'm not going to sit through 25 hours of "emotional assault" when I got the idea in the first 2 hours. Movie concepts and execution don't translate into video games as a medium.

She's just jealous that she isn't a pretentious woke game developer
So it's drakengard/pathologic but with better visuals, bearable gameplay, and worse characters?
Leo Adams
That's not even true though. Everything we know about Genghis Khan comes from the Chinese.
Jose Thomas
and lot's of plot holes, apparently.
