Couldn’t have put it better. All that said, though, using the games soundtracks was likely the best decision production made.

I was half hoping Valkyrie Profile would be on the list but I figure it’s not so much a lack of appreciation is simply a lack of access, even when the game was released.

That said, I am super glad you had Secret of Evermore on there! It was like a slightly more adult Mana.
Illusion of Gaia would have been a good one…

Daammnn, love the paint and shading! Reminds me of my ol’ Games Workshop days.

I get that leveling suits against all the many ways China rips off the rest of the world is near pointless, due to their total disregard of and lack of respect for other peoples intellectual property, that the perpetrators are virtually never held responsible. But, considering some of the frivolous claims made simply…

I think you meant that reply for someone else.

I think you should reread what I said about my time in WoW. And next time, don’t vent at people who don’t give a shit. All you did was identify yourself as one of the people I was talking about. I’m moving on now.

You may want to read the whole article this links to rather than just going solely off the bullet points listed here. There’s a lot to it. Even Jason said there were mistakes on both sides.

I didn’t see your edit until afterwards.
God, I WISH more people realized that about so many stories that come out of this industry! There is almost always more to a story, other perspectives or important information being glossed over. There have been too many mobs formed over too little.
That’s why I’m usually a bit…

I hear ya.
It’s also hard to argue with a publisher when they’re still making tons of money. They’re not usually too keen on listening when they’re afraid that doing so could cost them even more.
The shift in scope and perspective seems to come down to when execs stop thinking of us as people and we simply become…

I will absolutely read this!
But first, I gotta say...With so many stories breaking (often by you, Jason) about publishers meat-grinding games and developers into failure, how is it still so common?
I mean, I know it all comes down to the money they make but isn’t the money they lose and bad PR they receive more costly…

I am totally one of those kind of Roadhog players.
One of the best moments I had during the open beta was when all but one of our team defended as Roadhog and the moment the doors opened 5 hooks just went flying into the entrance. Half of them hooked the same Reinhardt who inexplicably didn’t have their shield up but…

Also, work on reading comprehension. Or just...reading, I suppose.
I just figured you’d rather not look any worse than you do, is all. By all means, continue.

Anyone who played both the WoW card game and Hearthstone can easily list off all the ways. HS is basically a digitized version of the original CCG with some changes and simplifications.

You’re just digging yourself a deeper whole, kid. At least half, if not more, of the mechanics and design are exactly 100% the same, just to name one example, so I really think you might wanna stop. Particularly as someone who didn’t even know the game existed, “until about 3 mins,” ago.

See, this is a great representation of video games as a whole as well.
Whenever people throw a hissy about one game or genre or another, saying it shouldn’t be that way or it should be fixed or even that it shouldn’t exist I think, “fuck you.” Maybe it wasn’t made for you. Maybe it was made for someone who actually…

It’s so hard to respect China ‘cause of shit like this. It’s like if Hodor was a fucking asshole.

Bullshit.

I make up for it by being the super friendly Reinhardt who says hello to all of the opposition while I’m shielding.

I’ve less of a problem with teammates standing behind it and more of a problem with them not shooting enemies on the other side of it..! So many times I’ve watched my shield get drained by a bastion while two or more friendlies stand back and just watch...

Ever since this game came out I’ve always initially read it as, “Getting it up,” and then have to reread it.
