So Destiny 2 is better than Destiny 1 because you’ll get bored with it faster and then you can go outside and do something more worthwhile than playing video games. I guess that makes a perverse sort of sense.

It’s not exactly a payoff. It’s a further development in an ongoing story. There have been many periods of searching, exploring, puzzle solving, impasse, and discovery throughout. This is another milestone moment but it’s still a developing thing.

“I tried heroine and it ruined my life, zero stars. Don’t do Heroine.”

Yes they do have a problem which goes far beyond a videogame, but the videogame in question still sucks, and a steam review is a valid place to make that fact known. A mentally deficient person can play a bad game for a long time and not genuinely enjoy themselves, and they can know that they are being psychologically…

Games which are constantly updated with mandatory patches and no way of playing earlier versions. Some of them get *worse* over time and it’s totally valid to give a negative review to a game which you have played for hundreds of hours but which has morphed into a different, inferior game over time.

How is this not considered a “port” rather than “remake”? It looks like pretty much the same game with updated graphics. Are there new colossi or areas to visit or an altered control scheme or play mechanics or anything like that?

You sound super-tolerant. I’m sure if only we could get rid of all the intolerant people, you would definitely be a pleasant and reasonable person.

Wish this article had gotten into the details of just what the Firewatch devs are doing. It’s fair to condemn Pewdiepie or distance themselves from him if they want to; it’s absolutely not OK to issue false DMCA claims.

ha. Good stuff.

Thank you and thank you to your father.

How about most of human history? Who do you think sold African slaves to European slave traders?

You are in fact remembering incorrectly. Hate speech is not a separate category of speech in America.

I predict this will be patched out within a month.

Good thing no one was doing that then.

Regarding the UPDATE: Did you reach out to Leonard French? Did you reach out to anyone other than Mauer? Why or why not? I find it positively astounding that you are playing this “six of one, half-dozen of the other,” game with death threats. Mauer issued specific and explicit death threats to French (and others).…

She has also issued at least one death threat herself. No sympathy here.

People sell unauthorized T-shirts, plushies, drawings, and countless other fan-made derivative works for profit all the time. People make their living doing this. Kotaku sometimes blogs about the awesome IP-infringing handicrafts and clothing that people sell online every day. And yet for some reason if you make a…

All people did was believe what the lead developer actually explicitly said. Stupid is a bit unfair, unless you believe that “smart” people always assume everyone is lying. Remember that even news magazines like The New Yorker were interviewing this guy and writing breathless praise for the game. Credulous? Ok.

It’s basically Super Mario Brothers crossed with Dark Souls.

Gross.
