Eh, I would agree if the problem were actually just an honest mistake. Instead they were clearly trying to pull a fast one; just shitting a totally barebones mobile port onto PC in hopes no one would know the difference.

I believe the one at H and 1st was the first one (that’s where I was at the time). They were supposed to build more, but due to their ongoing dispute with the city over minimum wage I don’t know how far they got with that plan.

You kinda have to bear in mind the way the series’ depiction of zoras changed over time.

I’m white and I was on an elevator headed into the D.C. Walmart when a black guy asked me “is this Walmart ghetto? I hate ghetto walmarts”. Answering felt a tiny bit like a potential minefield.

Watching people comment on internet articles. You have hit rock bottom. Go outside(?), experience life...

Note: there is no “party leader” in OW solo que, which is why things are so disorganized. Teams have to be in a premade to have any ability to self-moderate, but the matchmaking punishes premades with unfairly-difficult matchups and longer que times. Hence, people actually avoid 6-stacking and instead are forced to…

“But that’s sorta what my original point was: it wasn’t about the gameplay for me, it was about the adventure.”

Well I definitely agree, it’s nostalgia that makes these games seem as great as they were. It’s just when you go back and play today, the gameplay isn’t nearly as good as it seemed back then.

That’s the problem with the “classic” RPG formula though; if the main emphasis is adventure, why does most of the gameplay consist of tedious turn-based combat which isn’t even meant to be strategic? Why not emphasize exploration through the player’s interaction with the environment via puzzles or platforming? There…

This is partially a result of the paranoia among game publishes towards game rentals in Japan during the 80s. Padding the game with lots of time-consuming XP grinding was an easy way to make sure players couldn’t beat the whole game in a weekend and return it to the video store with no need to actually buy the game.

Yeah, I remember when vanilla VF5 released on disc circa 2007, but never heard about the 2010 Final Showdown digital versions till just now.

I think mainstream game developers underestimate the amount of gun knowledge the average gamer picks up from videogames. In practice, the use of real firearm designs in a videogame becomes a kind of shorthand communication for functionality. Players can infer what the role of a particular weapon will play, based on…

Yeah I’ve gone through a lot of different “couch PC” setups due to my girlfriend not having space for an extra desk at her apartment. In the early days she also didn’t have her own gaming PC, so I had to hunt down mods and hacks so we could both play games like Borderlands and UT3 on the same PC using splitscreen…

Yeah, I get the impression that people are having to play around with the Revolution’s stick settings a lot before they see a noticeable advantage in aiming control.

Yeah I was trying to find more info last night and eventually realized the reason things were so mysterious about the “Nacon Alpha Pad” is because they rebranded it as the “Nacon Revolution Pro” before going into full scale production and marketing last year.

Here’s some footage of him at ESWC playing Strenx (probably the best Quake player in France) using the production version of his controller:

Dude, check the dictionary: that’s literally not a fact, that’s your baseless assertion. Otherwise you’d have statistic data instead of just your uninformed subjective opinion to back it up.

If you’d actually clicked the links in my comment you might have some clue of what you’re talking about. It’s a shortcoming in the way software interprets input more than in the hardware itself. Poorly designed acceleration curves and oversized/mishapen deadzones lead to inferior control even within the small range of…

Yeah the cost of gaming PC’s is hugely overstated. You can pick up a used i7 desktop off ebay for around $250, pop in a new GPU for $100, and with zero rig-builting knowledge you’ve now got a console-priced PC that runs almost any game decently.
