Aren’t they? I mean, the entire narrative leading up to the game’s launch was all about getting the Overwatch team back together for some particular threat. A majority of the shorts double down in some way on the importance of them uniting again and as Methusalah points out, Blizzard also does changes to the map in…

I recognize the concept of an aesthetic disconnect. I just don’t see it here. I really don’t have a problem with the big heads. The bodies themselves look a bit elongated and lanky. Like wombat23, I also see the comparisons to Jamie Hewlett’s work.

Sure. Those are the days where they can spend even more time demanding their streamer slave entertains them.

As an Xbox Owner, only a few titles over the years have ever tempted me to buy a PS4 (what can I say, I never was a big fan of PS first party titles). And my PC can’t play shit but indies (which is fine by me for now). No Man’s Sky was one back when everyone was hyped about it, then I stopped caring about it…

It isn’t that much harder than trying to define what is ‘straight up trolling’ as they put it. In either case, they are still going to have to set up some kind of oversight on their store. They also have the ability to basically ban developers if they continue to test and push boundaries on some hypothetical guideline…

No, they pretty clearly want a firm set of guidelines that are as clear and easy to follow as you can reasonably get. This whole round of criticism peaked around Valve’s bipolar take on ‘sexy games.’ Certain things were allowed one week only to be rejected the following week, confused statements to developers about…

To be honest, I think a number of people would rather take that. It sounds weird but the idea of simply waiting for a game other people are already playing sounds better than paying the same price for something that another person has and simply getting less stuff in return. I mean, timed-exclusive games, aside from…

People better hope it isn’t like Destiny. Unlike with almost all timed deals with MS which had the content of certain games released to the PS a few months later (sometimes as little as 1 or 2 months), that Destiny content was held back for over a year and, in one instance, 2 years.

I just switched like 3 days ago and it already has helped immensely ... that is when I actually remember to build and don’t get so caught up in a firefight that I forget there are other things I should be doing which happens way more often than I would like.

Well, it is their focus. They do tend to sell around as many copies there as they do here for most of their popular titles despite the difference in country size and their less popular titles almost exclusively do better over there.

But ... your ‘much better article’ says the same thing:

The building mechanic helps alleviate this. Battle Royale games tend to always involve confrontations between players in the same places over and over. The same group of buildings, the same bridges, the same hilltops, etc... but Fortnight allows players to transform these places as the need arises. You don’t get tired…

Let’s rephrase that. How does Domino from the movie act like Misty Knight instead of acting like Domino from the comic?

I would say it is a good enough estimate (though I have no idea how much it costs to port the game to current gen), evidenced by SE taking that Microsoft money for the sequel. I don’t know how much that was either but it would have to be enough to act as a safety blanket in case sales were not up to snuff but likely…

I don’t think they care how many people download the games too much. I think the bigger draw is the act of getting people onto the front page of the store twice a week, which means twice as many chances for people to see a banner that interests them or deals that would entice them.

Exactly. Where one person sees unoriginal gameplay inside a world they would love to explore more, others see a game that wastes so much potential and presentation that it kind of actively pisses them off and it almost becomes distasteful. Would I like to see more of this world in another game? Sure, why not? (though…

No, they don’t pretend it didn’t happen. They simply act like it happened almost a decade ago and has no bearing on whether it is OK to do that shit now, which it isn’t.

Did people not talk about that already? I distinctly remember people being angry about it then. Did you miss all of that? Did you want to rehash it all just so you can come to the same conclusion that it is still a fucked thing to do even now? That seems like a waste of time to me but you do what you gotta do I guess.

Kind of with you here. I usually find this kind of thing laughable at times but in the actual video, you can see a kid not 3 feet away from them in the same row. I mean, I have been affectionate with a SO in the past in public but not to this extent I definitely don’t see myself ever wanting a handjob with a 13 year…

Same. Every time I think I should wrap up whatever game I am playing and finally get around to FF15 that has been sitting on my shelf for months, SE gives me another reason to wait it out. I still have to get around to Dishonored 2 and Wolfenstein 2 among others so I have the patience but these “But wait, there’s…
