Do you honestly think Destiny is dead? You do know it is one of the most played games, right?

Fucked up how you want people to lose jobs because you don’t like a thing

I think you are confusing why they said they got rid of self-revive with why they actually got rid of self-revive.  They got rid of self-revive because it broke too many encounters and it was easier to get rid of that than fix the encounters plain and simple.

Now? I agree. But I was in cub scouts in the early 80's, when wedge cars were all the rage. I had a Countach, a Vector W8 and (somewhat embarrassingly) a Fiero on my wall. I thought it was rad as hell. 90% of the kids in my ‘den’ or whatever it was had cars that looked similar to mine.

I giggle like an idiot every time they say Homo Demens. It’s very literally one of my favorite parts of the game

I think this take is entirely unfounded when you get into the actual game.

Man what ever happened to robot sport games? Basewars was great!

it’d be even more suspenseful if it just threw you right in and you didn’t know what you were gonna get until you hit the title screen.

Not with auto-updates on.

Counterpoint: I have at least a couple hundred hours worth of gaming I still haven’t even loaded up once. If I lose interest and wander on a game, I’m likely to still come back later but only after I’ve given it time to forget the issues that made me wander to begin with (even Arkham Knight, which was turning into a…

If you’re serious, and really physical games are always more serious purchases than buying an impulse-buy digital game, all the more reason. Force yourself to get it out and that’ll incentivize you to actually stay with it and finish it.

Yeah, allowing you to re-roll defeats most of the purpose. At that point, it’s no different than me just scrolling through my game library not being able to decide what to play, since I can just hit this button 30 times until I’ve seen everything and still haven’t decided.

I have 500 games on Xbox One. Something like this might help me check out some of the ones I was never going to get to otherwise.

And yet Netfilx and Hulu STILL can’t figure this out.

This is a really fun idea. I wish everything had a shuffle function (I’m looking at you, Netflix).

The stakes really should be higher, make players play for at least ten minutes no matter what it lands on. A wheel along isn’t going to help these poor indecisive souls, they need cold hard decisions being made for them.

Idk, I’ve heard many a Dark Souls fan say they didn’t like the games at first and discovered the “fun” after a few hours into it. And if that game can get such a thriving fanbase with that kind of introduction to the game, this will do just fine, haha.

RDR2 is the best game I never feel like playing. Everything is tedious just for the sake of it, and Death Stranding seems to crank that to 11.

Laura, I love your work. I like almost everything that deadspin produces, which is why I continue to visit even though I know that the ad revenue is likely going towards weiner pills for some impotent old men so they can tell themselves they are satisfying their checked out and cheating trophy wives.

I think this defense is broadly right—but it still amounts to LeBron saying that the sensitivities of one of the world’s most brutal and repressive regimes should set boundaries on what people in the NBA say in public. Which is fuckin’ gross!
