Agreed, which is probably its biggest strength as a game and most glaring weakness (out of honestly not a ton) as a fan of the franchise. I think it delivers really well on the general fantasy of there being another world parallel to ours, but it felt weird to see Digimon reduced to non-sentience when in the series…

That’s one hell of a non-sequitur. He didn’t say HL2 was bad, just that HL1 was the better game, and delivered on the actual story much better. He didn’t game the gameplay was sloppy, or the characters boring, or anything like that, only that HL1 had the better story but HL2 is the one everyone remembers more fondly,…

Blizzard definitely takes cues from other games, but having played FF14, I... don’t agree they’re very much like Dragoons. If anything I think they just made a melee class and took a LOT of cues from Guild Wars 2 with how the combat flows, as well as gliding haha.

You say this as if scaling interfaces weren’t an option for arguably the biggest developer on the planet.

Stop blaming devs, start blaming copyright law.

Wait, this IS about Summer Games boxes? Why the fuck are you complaining about it on the Competitive rewards article?

They’re both things that hinge on your individual merit and skills. If this was a complaint about the Summer Games lootboxes I’d be with you, but bitching about an oppourtunity that every single player has an equal shot at is lunacy.

So it’s a proper form of the other thing, you pedant. :)

To be clear - this isn’t content that’s only available to certain regions, certain consoles, put behind a pay wall, or otherwise restricted. Every player is eligible to get them, just like every human on the planet is eligible to go to college - except Overwatch IS a meritocracy without socioeconomic barriers in the…

It’s a pretty fucking firm yay.

What the unholy fuck do you think are players being locked out of?

Skew towards premades is always a problem. That’s how it’s broken.

As sincerely as possible - exclusives are fine, console wars suck. There’s friendly competition but the term “console wars” implies the rabid sort of aggression fans have toward each other instead of just exclusives.

And yes, fuck timed exclusives with a telephone pole. PS3 Mass Effect players missed out entirely on…

D.Va just needs to not get her fucking mech back just for ulting. Let even ONE kill give it back, but she shouldn’t automatically get one when her ult explodes. This is as nearly a D.Va main - she doesn’t need it and it removes any kind of skillful play from the equation; if it looks like a situation where you can…

Yes, and in this case that something is money for further features and other parts of the development process. It’s not buying Kaplan a yacht, it’s replacing the cost of expansions/subscriptions because of how much people are willing to spend on microtransactions.

Yeah, more like Pokemon than Pokemon GO, focus on one partner (which allows for so much potential, there’s dozens of full evolutionary lines) and just literally go around the world defeating evil/wild Digimon. Have player teams that just compete for points instead of holding locations, driving competition but also…

Tease. D: I got all excited, haha. Legitimate first thought booting up GO was “Why isn’t there a Digimon version of this.”

And what Digimon AR game would this be?

Play with better Meis then. She forces counterplay harder than Bastion does and her wall is (situationally of course) better defensively than Reinhardt can even dream of.

I think Kratos was fine to begin with - the series was over the top violent but at least subscribed to a Greek tragedy model. They got away from that pretty fast, though. Extra Credits had a much more detailed take, find their episode entitled ‘No Redeeming Value’.
