Fortnite has been a terrible example of Early Access from the moment it launched. It launched at full retail price, with copies of the games *sold in stores* as a PvE shooter. It felt like a hail mary to launch a supposedly ‘free to play’ PvE game in such a way.

The moment they launched multiplayer, I knew the PvE was…

Why *not*? *waggles eyebrows*

Man, I’m 40.  Trump was a Captain Planet villain ever since the 80s.

When I initially saw this I thought the latest ‘shop contest was really going above and beyond.

Oh man, I’m not trying to start something or insult you or anything, but this is playing right into the same mental sinkholes that the article talks about. “No one else sees the problem like I do.”

I’m going to go against the tide here and say that I really enjoyed playing as MJ & Miles. Particularly once she had more tools in her arsenal, it wasn’t that bad. I think if I were them, I’d have cut maybe one or two level each from the MJ/Miles sections. The level where she’s infiltrating a military camp and the…

I’m in just to see Rock as a household worker robot in the start of the movie.

This article is a wild ride.

I think you misunderstand the context. The episode was developed as episode 2 of 4 of the Series Finale.

Then last week (Friday?) all employees were walked out the door with 30 minutes notice.

It’s not a resolution because it was never intended to be one. It was intended to be part 2 of a 4 part series that will never…

Eh, I seem to recall it always being a thing. Go look at your favorite game studios from the 90s and go see how many are still around. Remember Origin?

I suspect either you’re just paying attention more now that you’re older, or that games journalism has matured to pay more attention to it.

Man, that ignores the entire context of the example. You’re either *really* bad at reading social context, or you’re willfully ignoring my point. Either way, I think we’re done here. Have a good one.

I get what you’re saying, and while I think you have some merit, I think you’re being a bit too strict in your viewpoint.

I’m going to disagree with you on this one. They’ve literally said “Hey, we’re sorry about Mass Effect Andromeda, but just wait, Anthen is going to be awesome.”

Like, if your studio is getting pummeled that your last story RPG wasn’t good enough, you don’t hold up a loot shooter and say “Don’t worry, this will be…

At very least, the extra attention has brought to her some prospects, and she realized she *liked* some of those prospects.  

The problem with that line is interesting. On the surface, she has a point. The Alliance has deep grudges against the Horde, and the worst part is they’re mostly deserved.

I see what you did there.

Wait, you mean they’re not actually unearthing lore and arcana about a Legend of Zelda each time they make the game??

As Thor said:  “All words are made up.”

You’re absolutely right in that she’s never been a champion of justice. I think the problem is they keep hinting at an evolution for her character and keep turning in other directions.

She consistently features in the extended media as a tragic character, one who sits on the edge of the abyss. They seem incapable of…

Fahey, I don’t know if I’ve said two words to you via this comment system before, but I am damned glad to see you back. You’ve been a steady voice on this site for years, and one that I deeply missed in your absence.

I’m sorry to hear about your ongoing issues as a result of your injury, but I’m so happy to hear that…

I don’t think anyone is really disagreeing with you. It’s just when Vol’jin stuck her in the Warchief role in Legion, everyone kinda went “huh?” and Blizzard made ‘trust us’ noises. And then in the build up for Battle for Azeroth, everyone went “No moar Garrash pls” and Blizzard explicitly said ‘trust us’.

The general…
