Re: Split up Certain Games for Different Consoles

I think it'd be a good idea to use the tab for "expansions" in submissions and add an option for a "handheld" or "separate console version". Granted, the latter is a lot harder to utilize here than the former but it is an idea, I think. Though I def think "mod" could easily fit into this category al...

Games Do Not Age

If there's ever a talking point that ever annoyed me about gaming discourse is the argument that "games age". Often times I get the sense this sort of criticism is tossed out by people who: 1. Don't actually understand the capabilities of gaming at the time 2. Are unaware of games that did similar t...

Re: Cruella

When did I say anything about it not being significant? I explicitly stated that wasn't my argument. You're arguing a strawman here. My argument is that Covid exacerbated the issue and can't be seen as the core cause, not that this exacerbation didn't matter. I was stating that localization has been...

Re: Cruella

I wasn't arguing that this exacerbation didn't matter so much as it is I don't think covid alone should be blamed for the issues to come. These things have been set in stone years ago, at best you can only say that covid was a silver bullet. To what extent Hollywood caters to China is a bit shaky. T...

Re: Cruella

The movie industry was more or less heading this direction anyway. Covid really didn't cause it so much as it exacerbated already established issues with Hollywood atm. Though keep in mind that the audience for theatre going has expanded. While it has been declining in western nations, in places lik...

Re: Introducing TV Episodes to Criticker

I personally prefer just rating the entire series. Is that going to still be an option?

Re: Cruella

I would hope it's nowhere near as bad as Maleficent. Seems like Disney likes to gets its jollies off in portraying its classic villains in a positive light, and thus far it hasn't been too enthralling.

Tabs not working

Any time I click something like "most recently starred reviews" or "recent ratings" the site just shoots me up to the top. Prevents me from selecting platform when submitting game, too.

Re: Movie Streaming

I mean, let's be real here, streaming services have been dominant throughout the last decade. When something offers this much at such a low price, it's certain a better alternative to pay $10 a month for a library of movies than it is to pay $10-20 for the recent film release.

Re: The Absolute Best of the Decade

I'd say there were a lot of bangers this decade. Though I feel the movies I'd put on the top of the list are far from what other people are picking. I wasn't big on Deadpool, Logan, Parasite, Knives out, most MCU movies etc. But there were excellent films in Birdman, Spiderverse, Moonlight, Blindspo...
