If you’re talking singleplayer games, to an extent yeah, I get what you’re saying... but if you’re complaining that MP games get constant balancing... well... welcome to competitive games? People figure crap out, realize an ability is too powerful, comes to dominate the meta, etc etc etc. Games evolve. See-saw…

I’m glad Pitchford offered help. My guess is he’s pretty familiar how to handle wrecks after releasing Colonial Marines.

(Literally only making this joke because nobody was hurt, but come on, it’s right there).

“I can almost guarantee”

Funny, if you had actually reached out to him directly instead of the comment section of an article on a video game website you could skip the almost part and get a more direct answer. Too bad.

But whatever helps you sleep at night, you poor unsung martyr of the creative process.

Yeah, buddy, it must be humanity’s fault. The fault definitely couldn’t be on your approach, the forum you chose to handle it, or the fact you come off as condescending and picking on . Everyone else has the problem.

If only someone could have given you a little constructive criticism before you decided to shoot your…

Constructive criticism is rarely unsolicited before you go off spouting about all the errors.

Particularly to third-parties in the comment section of an article about some random guy messing around in the fan project and learning a little bit about game dev in the process.

I dunno, some of them look good (The Corellian Corvette comes to mind... of course, it’s a repurposed model that was originally going to be the ship that’s now the Falcon, so maybe that’s why it’s sporting a unique look).

That’s an interesting point though. I suspect it has a lot to do with having a lot of real-world…

For what it’s worth, Rebellion does not hold up to multiple play sessions particularly well—games tend to get samey pretty quick. And you have to really like the particular alchemy of 4x/Hide-and-Go-Seek with Star Wars themeing. It’s actually more obtuse in some ways than Twilight Imperium (mostly because so many…

X-wing tends to have the most lively community, so if you’re looking to play with strangers, that’s where I’d start.

Bonus points because the theory is Blizzard is losing subs because it’s conspiring against it’s own market and not, you know, because it’s a fucking 12 year old game.

For context, there’s about 11 years separating the NES and the Playstation.

Probably the most amazing footnote to ‘Horse Armor’ is that cosmetic now tends to be the most generally accepted ‘harmless’ DLC, and $2.50 for a skin isn’t considered even remotely unreasonable.

(Oh god, yes I know it’s more of a multiplayer thing, and yes I get the original context of the revolt against it. I’m just…

The first thing that came to mind when you mentioned it was the opening line of Starcraft 2, which actually contains the phrase: It’s time to kick this Revolution into overdrive! A line that somebody put on paper and then other people said yes and noooooobody stopped them.

I’m glad you brought that up, because that’s exactly my same problem with the first video. Up until that point, the short is fine, but that line runs into the same problem: It doesn’t even make sense in the context of the scene it’s in (His first view of the world and he’s being reminded to see it for ‘what it could…

Eh, the comparison I draw is that Overwatch is intentionally channeling the Silver Age comic book era: Think Justice League International or to a lesser extent Claremont’s X-men (which was much sillier than most people remember, complete with Leprechauns and Dracula showing up at one point). The thing is, you can…

Blizzard needs to learn less is more when it comes to dialogue.

“Batman v Superman (or BvS for short) is a beautiful antidote for our addiction to the comical superhero film. It is a bleak, confident take...”

It isn’t confident of nearly anyone in it’s roster, save maybe Wonder Woman—and maybe that’s just because she didn’t get enough actual plot time.

The entire crux of this film…

Jessica Jones is an order of a magnitude darker than anything in BvS, on top of it.

‘A bunch of in-jokes that are only sort of funny if you’ve been playing World of Warcraft or Warcraft-adjacent products, probably for years.’

You realize that the art team and the design team are probably separate, right?

Mid/Late Game Advice: Always take Shredder on Grenadiers, and generally work with at least one, but preferably a pair of them. Late game emphasizes armor considerably and several enemies that absolutely can not get a turn to do horrible things typically have a boatload of armor. Grenade-spam is an option, but if you…

Part of it’s weirdness and why it may not work in some cases is, weirdly, if you try to do it too quickly it not only won’t work at first, it won’t work at all and you have to sit through the entire thing.
