Hot Take Thread

I could never get into God of War myself, mainly cause of the annoying puzzles and bullshit platforming sections(that damned spiked rotating pillar you have to climb in the first game can go straight to Hades)that took up too much of the games.

I was always kinda eh on Wipeout, racing games in general like Motorstorm don't do a whole lot for me.

Unironically using "woke" in your argument makes it immediately invalid.

I assume a big reason as to why American/Canadian video games suffered around the late 80s-1990s was that around that time, the video game crash happened & thus interest in video games kinda died out over there(aside from computers) & unlike their European counterparts, most of the American home computer game industry seemingly didn't want to be involved in games for home consoles or handhelds, thus several inexperienced developers would make games that would try to imitate what more talented Japanese developers were doing. To clue you in on how bad American video games were during that era, here are some notable cases:







Needless to say, the video game crash of 1983 pretty much meant that North American video games went on quite the delay & as a result, the quality dropped to the point that a game from around here that would be considered decent was essentially like finding an authentic copy of the Japan-exclusive Genesis port of Tetris. Even in computer land, the drop in quality was very noticeable.

Dancing around words like "death" on YouTube. Don't talk about a suicide and be like they "They uh... Cancelled their life subscription willingly", it's super disrespectful and disgusting.

Also, an opinion for a particular scene from Halloween Ends, or more specifically a deleted scene from said film.

You see, there’s an extended version of Joan’s death, referred to by “Joans’s Recipe For Disaster”, which involves Corey Cunningham brutally killing and axing the hell out of his own mom in a style that more strongly resembles Art The Clown than Michael Myers. (Seriously, that scene was actually pretty disturbing.)

But if I’m correct, in the Novelization, Michael was supposed to kill Joan instead, which many people seem to prefer, given how in the novel, Michael originally had a larger kill count of 11 people, while Corey’s was 9 people, which left a total kill count of 22 people (including Laurie strode killing Michael, and Joan originally killing her sibling out of envy when she was a kid), which got reduced to 14 kills, a ton of the additional kills (probably) having never been filmed (hopefully I’m wrong).

However, I actually think the rewrite idea to make it so Corey killed his own mother was the better choice, because it evens things out: both killers get 10 people. Plus, it just felt more fitting imo.

The 2nd one does get the point across, but it still sounds like something out of some crappy horror game.
