Huh? The headline doesn’t spoil anything - it hints that inside the article there will be a spoiler. The photo is of the original pokemon. The evolution is not spoiled until you read the article and get to...the spoiler warning. Jesus, you people will complain about anything being spoiled these days like the new…

PhysX for this game was rain or something? I don’t think I had all of those options on

I ran it at 1080p60 on a RX580. What’s your CPU? I do believe I had already upgraded to my 3700X at that point. Don’t forget the CPU when it comes to open world games.

Yes, that is better, words matter. Learn how to articulate your point more clearly next time. Your original phrasing does not indicate your own lack of interest in the titles. You could repeat the same thing but be interested in the titles, too, if you like a particular style of game for example that isn’t popular.…

This is objectively not a weak month in terms how these titles are perceived. How well they will be received is another story of course. I think what you meant was “I’m not interested in these titles” which is a completely different statement than the lineup being weak. The former is your own viewpoint and the latter…

It’s not streaming and works on a completely different model. Stadia made you purchase games just for Stadia (outside of their small collection of “pro” games) and on Apple Arcade you don’t purchase anything it’s only subscription. It’s more akin to Game Pass which keep in mind only publicly added streaming a while…

You don’t need very high speed internet - 25 Mbps is enough which is the current US standard (though obvi not everyone is getting that and upload speeds are still shit for many even with faster speeds.) I think people really overlook how much it varies per game, too, something like a fast paced FPS certainly needs a…

Streaming will increase access in the long run as you’ll no longer be tied to expensive hardware and internet speeds have only increased. Streaming has already replaced physical media and opened up availability for many other use cases like music, photos, and video.

Hacking or being a “hacker” isn’t automatically a negative. At the bare minimum anyone these days should know there’s multiple types of hacking, jobs that involve hacking, etc. If you don’t know anything about the subject it’s best not to make broad 2000s-era platitudes like this and instead do even some cursory…

Then this is even less controversial than people are making it out to be.

“You haven’t been able to jump from one role to another for more than two years.”

I think you’re only considering gamer as capital G gamer when they mean gamer in the context of literally everyone who plays videogames. The hardcore audience is not the only audience and I’m always glad to see wider audience embraced as too many games (like Halo: Infinite) have catered to their hardcore audience to…

You get 32 characters when you complete the tutorial or pay $40 which is how much the original OW cost. You can jump between a DPS or a support or tank still. This isn’t preventing this it’s just providing a way for new players to ease into the game and try it out. 

It would come out of the box for $40. This stuff? Also $40. You’re complaining that they have free onboarding for people who are new and don’t know if they’ll be into Overwatch or not. If you like OW and want to jump right into its sequel it costs the same as the price of the first game - less if we consider inflation.

$40 is still less than $60 (or $70 as is becoming more common.) So this seems like a decent balance between new players (who should go through this) and returning players (who know they like Overwatch already and know how to play) can pay the money.

You start out in some bland warzone torn areas but then the game gets quite beautiful later on. 

She was supposed to lose weight and lose muscle. She wanted to do stunts - she couldn’t do them if she’s not eating. Did no one read this or are AV Club people just assholes like this on a normal basis?

The context of the article actually makes her out to be buff not fat. Did you read it?

All signs point to this guy becoming more and more of an asshole over time

He was going in his for annual exam so he wasn’t being treated for anything. The doctor likely just thought the dude was an asshole after 30 years of dealing with him and now had an easy reason to drop him
