Well, controllers are complete crap for 90% of FPS games. Including fortnite.

lol @ BR games on console being held up as the height of class... as ammunition to pick on girls no less.

With consoles, I blame the lack of effort in improving gamepad controls. Developers could be pushing gamepads towards a mouse level of precision where mouse and keyboard is of limited advantage, but they don’t bother because they figure the average gamer won’t know the difference.

Exactly. You don’t have to like his films to give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn’t “taking advantage” of his daughter’s death to save face for being fired.

Just about the only worthwhile part of all these mediocre superhero movies at this point is the making-of featurettes on the soundtracks:

To be fair, many toy lines based on Star Wars prequels and sequels have gone straight to the bargain bin, regardless of how much the films grossed. Factors that contribute to a movie’s perception don’t always translate 1:1 to toy sales. For example almost everyone has praised Star Wars’ recent emphasis on female…

Agreed. I don’t see why the first assumption has to be a big conspiracy theory to use his daughter’s death as a coverup. If you were already having a rough time with the movie, and been threatened to be fired or replaced, having a death in the family is a pretty plausible reason to simply say “I can’t take this shit…

lol, 16 very close friends? I’m just going to assume you meant 6 and not 12. Even so, you only need 5 friends to make a six stack (including yourself).

I don’t understand why people have such a big mental block with regard to this game. If you’re tired of toxic strangers on your team ruining the game, then stop playing with stangers. If you’re tired of people not joining voice chat, then stop solo que-ing and only play in a stack with friends who have a mic.

lol, who cares? This isn’t an adaptation of Assassin’s Fist, so it doesn’t need to follow their formula.

The funny thing is the official story in Japan says Ken is half Japanese (with bleached hair) and grew up going back and forth between his mom’s Japanese hometown and his dad’s mansion in the U.S. So his connection to Japanese martial arts isn’t actually as “foreign” as it was assumed to be.

Yeah, Street Fighter has always been more about traveling the world to challenge different fighters on their home turf than bringing everyone together at a centralized tournament. The international scenery was such a huge part of all the games. Mortal Kombat is much more Enter The Dragon-influenced in this regard.

But does Facebook save people are much money as Walmart?

FB was all about the novelty of keeping in touch with former classmates/cooworkers. It was inevitable that the novelty would fade when people remember why they didn’t keep their acquaintances phone numbers in the first place.

It really depends on your tastes. My girlfriend likes to do creative writing and music production when she travels, so a laptop that does those things and also runs games is preferable to a portable console that can’t. She’s also into FPS, where mouse and keyboard is preferable, and played through large chunks of…

When it comes to Overwatch though, the “competitive” matchmaking system deserves serious criticism for the cognitive dissonance between the teamplay it preaches, and the selfish lonewolf play it actually rewards in practice.

Yes, but gamers also have a reputation for not putting their money where their mouth is. Publishers push their luck with unwanted features in games specifically because they figure the diehards will be so desperate for a new entry in their favorite franchise that they’ll buy the game anyway.

I think a lot of the hype is simply due to the alignment between the image of platformer nostalgia common to both indies and Nintendo. By contrast, the branding of Xbox and Playstation is much more about modern AAA games, so people forget they’ve got indies too. For example, every title featured in Indie Game: The…

The problem for a lot of people is that Nintendo is simply late to the party. From roughly 2008 to 2016 if you were into indie games you kinda had to have a PC. Through this period I watched people who started out as Wii owners gradually buy more and more Steam games on their laptops and netbooks and then eventually…

Except pretty much any old laptop or netbook will run most of these indie platformers and such. It’s how indie gamers have been getting by away from their desktop for years.
