I like the fact that “Demonetization” sounds like “Demonization.” That is all.

“utilizes strategy & management elements [but] revolves around empathy & devision-making rather than optimization & resource management.”

That reddit post is excellent. Everyone who is interested in this so-called controversy should read it. The multiplayer issue is perhaps the least significant and most understandable omission in the released game. The fact is that the game as delivered is a far cry from what was repeatedly advertised and what was…

I’m Ok with not letting people openly carry pellet guns onto trains. Same with paintball guns, fireworks, and potato launchers. I dunno maybe there’s some wiggle room here but it doesn’t seem like an outrageous thing to keep out of tiny crowded enclosed spaces.

Not a very good deal if you’re shopping for a PC controller. You will need to purchase a separate piece of hardware - a wireless receiver ($25 for a new 1st-party receiver). You CANNOT use it with USB at all. the ONLY way to use this controller with your PC is to buy the wireless receiver.

Needs to be unbelievably pixelated for no reason. Maaaaaybe then it’ll have a shot at winning some indie game awards.

Walking Dead, Bioshock Infinite, The Last of Us, now God of War. I think we’re witnessing the emergence of a new game genre: the Dad Simulator.

He had a beard before. Now he has . . . a bigger beard.

This strikes me as kind of insane. It’s great that the devs are communicating with their audience about the restrictions that they’re dealing with, but it seems ridiculous that such restrictions would exist in the US to begin with. Isn’t this game basically pornography whether you censor it or not? Are they really…

Yeah the characters themselves look great but I think it either needs more animation frames or they need to add some “smearing” frames to make it flow a little better. Hand-drawn animation is sadly a dying art.

Looks great! This is what modern/updated 2d graphics should be. Hopefully 27 years from now we’ll get high-quality hand drawn art remakes of Hyper Light Drifter, Stardew Valley, and other inexplicably pixelated indie darlings.

I don’t understand how this is possible. Did they reboot the franchise with an all-female cast or something?

Reading and writing about videogames is the new videogames.

Incidentally - is it accurate to say that you don’t get to choose your gender? I would say the game determines your sex, but you can still be whatever gender you want, since it’s 2016 and gender now operates completely independently of genitalia and secondary sex characteristics.

Now *everyone* can be alienated! This is the kind of equality we’re after. Don’t give previously unserved people the same options as the privileged. Instead, take away the options altogether! Less for everyone! Yay equality!

Hey - it almost makes me want to play the game. I can just imaging the excitement and challenge of not being able to pick the sex and race of my character - thrilling!

Looking forward to the update where you can’t pick your name, either.

There’s already so many good reasons to not play RUST, why let sexism be one of them?

What percentage did RUST *news coverage* increase by when they added forced gender, I wonder?
