This sounds like I’m an apologist for shitty fans, but it’s nowhere near the SU fandom. If you split the Homestuck fandom in half, the “We’re so random” crowd landed in Undertale while the angry SJW crowd landed in SU. Both SU and Undertale have obvious moderates like myself in both, but holy crap the SU fandom is…

Got a link to it? Because I’ve been poring Steam’s news page and there’s nothing there about an outage until the 30th. A couple mentions of the sale and some Dota 2 patch notes, but no actual word from Valve when the issue took place, which is all I was saying should have happened.
And they absolutely dropped the ball on #4. Is this better than normal? Absolutely. Should people have been told during the actual situation? I still think yes. I’m not saying cause a panic, but maybe let us know; it was very clear from Kotaku, SteamDB, and other outlets that something with the caching had gone wrong,…
Absolutely not. Valve gets hit by a DoS attack, that’s not their fault. Valve doesn’t tell us shit and potentially fucks over 34,000 users because of an error they made in responding to said attack, that IS on them. It’s like how we weren’t pissed at Sony for PSN being hacked, but we were all rightfully pissed that…
It’s... really not that hard to return one? There’s a return period for a reason, and it’s not like the customer service desk at Best Buy has a TV there to see what you’ve installed on the thing. They don’t give too much of a shit.
We resumed talking—without Luke—a couple of hours later.
As much as some people were underwhelmed by it, I think Fallout 4 still deserves a mention even if it’s on the disappointment list as well. I haven’t seen hype that much in a while that didn’t explode on takeoff.
Maybe now, but at time of posting I still had to find my way to raid/dungeon entrances for guild runs.
Honestly, and with no colossal preference to one over the other - Persona 5. Square Enix has felt a lot more hit/miss lately than Atlus has, and while I’m sure FF15 won’t be BAD, I’m a touch worried it won’t live up to the hype.
Right, but they’re still a system that do keep players engaged, and can be considered a progression system for most players, even if you don’t actually set goals based on them. I think gating is a load of shit, but the original comment read like it was some form of purist approach like the older arena FPS games. I…
TF2 has been F2P for 5 of the 6 years that OP is talking about. It hasn’t ALWAYS had them, but it helped pioneer Steam achievements even if there weren’t unlocks involved, which is still absolutely a thing to keep people playing; you may recognize player retention as an important feature of any online game, especially…
So TF2’s achievement system and the unlocks/gear tied to them aren’t considered a form of progression? Good to know.
Mostly because Overwatch isn’t meant to be an MMO?
New companies are polishing up and re-releasing classics like System Shock 2 and Baldur’s Gate as well, so incompatibility issues—while still present—are becoming less of a problem. (However, nobody’s been able to do that for No One Lives Forever yet, so actually I changed my mind; PC gaming is garbage.)
I dunno - I mean, offhand dismissal of older games isn’t my style, and they absolutely have their places on a poll like this. But to get legitimately angry that another game is beating it is more than a little silly. I think the game industry has a lot of room for both new ideas and for remembering our past, and as…
Er? He posted mostly about League dude, and HotS isn’t dead by any metric.
Preferred. Yannick’s gone. :/
Whiiiiiiich is what I said. “Undertale is too new to be on that list imo” was a pretty clear indication that I don’t think it’s the best thing ever, and I even said my vote was for Shadow of the Colossus. And if games were solely graded on their technical achievement Crysis would have gone down as a landmark as…
If you’re looking at games through such a narrow lens then yes, you’re going to be disappointed. OoT and FF7 stand out because they were the cream of that era’s crop - I could go through and single out how games back in the day were useless and not innovative because half of them were shitty movie tie-ins that…
