It's something you are gonna find in every competitive game, i see discussion of the game on various sites but on kotaku is "lol sucks! full of trolls! dota 2 is better!" everytime and i just don't get it. Honestly, it's something you need to have a thick skin for, i'm harrased often in my games but i just don't care,…

Patches have come a long way in helping this game, it's in a pretty good spot right imo, i don't know why people are so against the AH, it's like trading, you traded items in d2, right?, i did, nobody gave me shit for it, just a thing you can do or not do.

I don't, it's the idea that some things are enjoyable because they have a built-in pleasurable component that i am arguing. Most things, like hobbies, are pleasurable because of previous learning, like positive reinforcement.

It's wrong to say smoking doesn't cause cancer, in a lot of cases it's the very cause, it's just that not everyone who smokes gets cancer, anyway, what you said is very true, can't dismiss a posible cause because anecdotal evidence, which isn't evidence at all.

That's the thing, "built-in pleasurable component" of things is called intrinsic motivation to do something, behavioral science challenges this notion.

Winning is one powerful reward, and once you taste triumph you want to avoid defeat. Some people are more afraid of losing than they are wanting to win, this is what drives them away from competition.

There's few things you enjoy doing for it's own sake, there's eating, having sex, socializing maybe. Everything else is enjoyable because it has been previously or currently reinforced either by positive or negative reinforcement, like playing games, eating spicy food, doing sports, watching tv, doing art, science,…

I agree with the points, particularly with the unlikable MC, i hate that guy, wish the girl was the MC. Anyway, you have to take into account the previous shows to watch this one, in Steins;Gate things went slooow and the main story didn't pick up until late in the series, this is just how these stories are made,…

This review and the Psycho-pass one are pretty all right, it think it was only the SAO one that was weird. Maybe he really liked the show but couldn't separate it from a more objective analysis.

In the first episode the dominator is set to kill mode because the women had a high crime coefficient in that exact moment, it wasn't because she was stressed, it was because she was ready to kill someone in that exact moment, thus the system is flawless and judged the woman right.

The system was presented as flawless in 10 of 11 episodes, it was a strong plot point, in that regard it was more like Brave New World than Minority Report, the system worked and people could rely on it, but everything changed in that plot twist, for the worse in my opinion, because there was nothing in the previous…

But that is exactly why that scene ruined the whole scene ruined the whole build-up, the presentation of a PERFECT preventive crime system, it was what made it good science fiction, presenting a whole new society and asking the question how it would work, what if a perfect system could determine criminals and non…

It does sound vey pretentious, but if you see the trailer you think it might just deliver.

The Walking Dead: always liked these point and click games and well, this was fantastic.

I so realize that you can shove a pencil in your eye socket or something like that, but it's not a fair comparison, it would be more like if the tv on your living room can burn your eyes from a secret function of being too bright. And it's just one of many, if you let it pass for the sake of the "death game" plot,…

I agree that the show has some intereseting things plot wise, but nothing is developed or in a very shallow fashion. I don't see how it subverts clichés of anime, i actually think the opposite, like: the "dead game" plot is nothing new and actually very common, and it isn't done in a particularly clever way; all the…

I never got why so many people liked this series, the protagonist is the very definition of Gary Stu, it's full of plot holes (why would they ever design, test, aprove, mass produce, sell and wear a vr device that can kill you?), and the resolutions are literally deux ex machina. It's just very bad. The protagonist of…

Amen. The only reason why people don't like the higher frame rate is because of the association to tv productions like soap operas. This, in my opinion, is not a reason to dismiss the technology. I want movies with higher framerates than, higher than this, there is technology to go much higher but Peter Jackson had to…
