You think it’s turd nowDenchDeckard ?
Dude, just a def old priest and a lesbian?
Like these haven't existed for century's?
How much are you willing to scrape the barrel to try and turn this into a sweet baby DEI complaint.
I've played for 25 hours now and there is nothing to the level of spider man 2 in this.
Just stop now.

The haircut statement is particularly funny. Just look up 1930s Italian woman haircuts, tousled short hair was all the rage.

Yea I know, the haircut could be worse. But still this is a popular trend to have female characters with hair like that.

It's not Veilguard bad, though. 90% of it is pure Indiana Jones punching and whipping dudes in the face. I hate DEI, but I don't see an overdose of it in this game. I like how you arrive at Italy in some castle and just start ripping people apart like it's something everyone else does while visiting there.

But as far as ambition? Yeah I think it's clearly more ambitious than Uncharted, in the sense that it tries a lot of new things and doesn't really fit neatly into an existing genre or formula, which is frankly really rare in the AAA space, and doubly so during a time when the industry is at its most risk averse.
So my level headed, console agnostic take, I don't think it's GOTY, but it's pretty reasonably in the top 5, especially as far as AAA goes in a year that didn't have a lot of AAA hits.

I was watching penguinz0 playing it and it looked so bad. The AI was dumb as rocks and they didn't even look at him as he was grappling the chandelier with his whip. The whole idea seemed hilarious, in fact the entirety of what I saw seemed pretty silly and unpolished . This looked like a 6/10 game by the 30 min. slice I looked at so I'm actually surprised it is doing so well.

Imagine being such a sensitive Nancy, that these things prevent you from buying a game, that is if you really ever were considering it. A deaf person, girl with somewhat short hair, and a lesbian give you this reaction?

Good summary. Machine Games definitely did more things with Indy than ND did with Uncharted. Each area is a bit of an open world with its own side quests and such. Naughty Dog did some of that with TLOU 2 in that one larger open area. I'd imagine ND would expand on that in their next game much like what MG has done here. That is probably the aspect of Indy I enjoy the most. Combat, not as much, but that isn't to say it is bad either. Just not my personal favorite
I said in the OT that I think it is in my top three behind Metaphor and Astro Bot and I'm sticking with that so far. I think it certainly will win some GOTY from some outlets, especially Xbox aligned ones. At the same time, I'm wondering what the hell happened with Pure Xbox. 6/10? That's crazy.

I remain impressed by the PC optimisation here. With everything maxxed out I get a comfortable 60fps on quiet mode on my laptop (Legion Pro w/ 7945hx and 4090) This is in contrast to most new games that struggle with this when maxxed out. Bump up to auto or performance mode and I'm over 90 all the time.
“One somewhat disabled character out of many is ‘woke’”
When Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island in 1883 and had a peg leg Pirate - Long John Silver - in it as the main villain, who knew he was being a woke bastard all along?

You mean Black deaf girl with half a shaved head that speaks in sign language and paints murals of black lives matter and other political DEI stuff all over the game.
I actually don't think you guys have the ability to see the difference of Sony games that are swamped with pride flags, black lives matter and LGBTQ+ forced messaging vs this.
You are genuinely embarassing yourself dude.
Plus, none of the above actually bothered me in spider man 2. I have said this. I found the Peter parker and Mary Jane power struggle much worse.
