The reason make-up calls are never OK is because it basically means a ref missing one call and then purposely ‘cheating,’ for lack of a better term, on the next. One is a mistake, which happen. The other is a deliberate ignoring of the rules from a guy whose only job is to enforce the rules. And another thing, in this…

You would think so but people seem intent on shoving in the rookie as soon as possible for some reason. If they are going to have a bad season (and they will), Jones will have plenty of opportunity to get into games as the season progresses.

It just seems like inventory management to me, just with the addition if it being shown visually instead of located only in a menu. The idea of considering the weight of everything you are carrying, a penalty to stamina if carrying too much, being overburden in games like Skyrim force you to walk everywhere while this…

I mean, have you ever really had your interest in a game being created and funded be fundamentally tied into how it will be served to you?

It doesn’t have to be negative. It is just going to look like shit and I kind of want to see the end result myself . Switch fans can enjoy it all they want. No judgement here.

That’s all I got. Your entire post was making me see red for a bit and I had to gif my way out of it before I spent the next hour creating a post that would mostly be incoherent rambling. One that I would probably end up not posting anyway after I forgot what the hell I was talking about. As such, this is what I was…

I would think if you are making a video game that relies on its story and characters to carry you along, you have to make some kind of statement. It doesn’t have to be new, per se, but some form of statement should probably exist rather than just .... presenting things.

It had hype but of a different sort. It is a game that just kept coming up in conversations and had people talking. It was like Phantom Dust. If people whispered anything about a sequel, people start coming out of the shadows and couldn’t stop talking about the original. I have read more articles about Crackdown 1…

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was probably my biggest obsession on a portable. After that, probably Wipeout 2048 and Lumines. 

A western equivalent to EDF sounds exactly what Crackdown kind of is. The problem is that EDF never had the kind of nostalgic look back that people have about Crackdown 1. Seriously, people were legitimately hyping up Crackdown 3 as a major title, seemingly forgetting that the first was simply a very fun, dumb game at…

... dude. 

The thing is, the game was finished. It may have seemed shallow but it was a finished product. They didn’t have mechanics that they planned on adding later, systems that they were still working on or bugs they were still working out (at least no more than any other finished game).There were no promises that anything…

No kidding. You would think that the concept of taking offense at something was invented in the last 5 years with the way people complain about it. As always in this time, it is simply a matter of how many people are speaking up and how many people are listening. 

There is nothing wrong with that but no one is arguing that point as their reason. Or at least very very few people are. They are mostly arguing as if they are the developer and know what they are thinking or what they believe the true purpose of the game should be. And I don’t think anyone is trying to shame the…

It isn’t really an issue for Epic. They are just the target of these people who want to use your info to get into a marketplace filled with kids that have access to their parents credit cards. It is kind of crazy though. I used to get tons of Emails about people trying to get into my Epic account. I used to get stuff…

You still don’t get it do you? First of all, your ‘nice’ comment about getting along was based on everyone ignoring it all, which isn’t actually getting along. That is just you not wanting to talk about it anymore. Second, anyone can ask for almost anything. It doesn’t mean they will get it and they deal with that all…

What is with the stupid rhetorical questions? You want to know what the limit is? Whatever the developer decides. If people ask for more accessible options and the devs deliver, cool. If they don’t, that’s fine too. The devs don’t HAVE to do anything. No one is forcing them to do anything. This isn’t about them or the…

A lot of what you said was beside the point. If the developer says it is too hard or too costly to make an easier mode, let them say it. If they don’t know how to do it, fine. If they say that they only want people who can overcome the difficulty of the game as is to play, fine. If they say something about limited…

No, but there is nothing wrong in asking and is certainly isn’t your place to say what the developers should or shouldn’t do. If they do add an easy mode or some equivalent at some point, that is up to them. Besides, the experience of the game isn’t the difficulty, it is overcoming difficulty. That is why you enjoy…

No one is forcing anything, though. They are just asking. Even if some are ‘demanding’ instead of asking, it is basically the same thing but makes you seem like a bit of a dick. Either way, no forcing is being done. The whole point of the article is that it is perfectly OK to ask and if it comes to fruition, it won’t…
