Reminds me of the very old Microsoft game Allegiance(?), which combined an Space Fighter deathmatch with RTS. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a game like that in the years since. I thought it was a fun experience, especially as a first step into that sort of mish mash.  

You see, this comment? Right here? This is peak Kinja. A comment that complains that the protests aren’t peaceful, about an article that mentions the peaceful protests that did JACK SHIT to fix the problem.

If we wanted to avoid the riots, maybe we should’ve listened to the football players when they took the knee…

Battleborn also had the ‘advantage’ of releasing right when (if memory serves) the Overwatch Beta wrapped up and we were waiting for retail release. I remember buying Battleborn because I really wanted to play a team based shooter, and while it was enjoyable, it absolutely paled in comparison to Overwatch when that…

Their virtual ticket stuff might be wrapped up in contracts or third party vendors that relies on the other parts of the convention actually happening.  Like it used to be hosted as a DirectTV pay per view item -- not sure if that’s still the case -- and maybe without the actual con they can’t use those agreements.

We could stream it via our phones!

(I know that joke was old, but I couldn’t help myself.)

It tends to go through cycles. For awhile there they kinda floundered about, at least to me. Recently it feels like they’ve hit their stride again and are putting out consistently funnier comics. Every now and then they’ll go for some low hanging fruit that I roll my eyes at, but for the most part the jokes seem more…

Oh, I wouldn’t feel ashamed of playing Fornite. I’ve actually played a small bit of Apex, Fortnite BR, and PUBG. It’s not really my type of game, but it’s enjoyable in small doses.

I think the joke is born out of the small resentment I have toward Fortnite BR due to it killing any chance Save The World had of being…

Save the World was fantastic, had so much potential. But their monetization model was crap and then when they found their white whale in the Battle Royale mode I knew it was over.

It’s been like two years and I think Save the World is still ‘early access’ even though people paid full retail for it.

I’ve never really invested in the EGS — I had an account from the Fortnite days (Save the World, I swear) — but I never really used it to get games. More apathy than any crusade, I already had Steam, Origin, Blizzard, and god knows what other launchers/stores for PC games, no reason to add to that.

Well, free GTA V &…

Honestly, that’s what this sounds like they’re doing.  They probably just don’t want to promise a free 2.0 upgrade and relaunch in case the execs don’t like where they go with their attempt to re-invent it.  We’re not going to get anything solid out of them until they’re sure they’re going to actually deliver, not…

To be fair, a lot of those studio deaths are old and it’s really kind of a weak argument to pin them on current EA. I’m not even sure they had the same execs when most of those studios were buried.

But, in his defense, those were major brands in their day.

Maxis - SimCity etc.
Pandemic - Original Star Wars Battlefront…

Why is ColdFury on this post?  ColdFury is never funny.  You should check out this new hip gamercomic: GAMEZ.  It’s teh funny every week, unlike ColdFury.

Zack deserved the full time slot just from all the shit he’s put up with over the years for the Weekly comic post.

Really?  I thought this week’s strip was really relatable.  Clueless Hero has always been the one that’s more miss than hit for me, though I feel like it’s a new cartoonist that’s slowly building up their experience.

To be fair, I went back and watched Revenge of the Sith, and most of the Jedi Masters who died were caught completely off-guard. Ahsoka had the benefit of Rex calling the initial troopers off and then a few moments of warning.

In hindsight, some of the Jedi Master’s deaths in RotS make sense, and others just look…

Well, if there was never a body, the past wasn’t *changed*. It just changed how we the audience perceived the event that happened, right?

Dude.  Echo is an Overwatch character.  And, to clarify, not one that has been ported over to HotS.

It’s been five months since the last hero. What we’ve seen is the last dredges of partially completed content doled out slowly after the game was barned.

HotS is in Diablo 3 mode.  The bare minimum to avoid upsetting their base.

I feel like there’s a City-Folk / Country-Folk joke just waiting somewhere in this.

Oh damn, I just realized this was posted under the Compete banner. Dang, that makes it sting even harder.
