  • Saints row 3.

    2 had just the right balance of funny and serious.

    3 felt cobbled together as a series of lolsorandom ideas without an actual soul in them, cut out fleshed out characters you grew to love in 2 to make space for terribly acted cardboard cutouts voices by meme-famous people like Hulk Hogan and Sasha grey, neither of whom aged particularly well as a casting choice, and didn’t really have anything seriously above 2 except for the raw gameplay.











  • if it really is so bad you feel you should get your money back on principle, you know before the end of the meal/film.

    I disagree that you would necessarily know.

    Mass Effect 3 is stellar, until the ending invalidates basically all of your choices and destroys the galaxy no matter what you do, because the lead writer and the director thought it right to bypass their internal review process.

    Firewatch feels like it’s going to take at least some of the dialogue choices you made in the game into account but then it turns out it’s entirely linear and smoke and mirrors.

    A bad ending can absolutely restrospectively destroy the experience of an otherwise good story.
