I think we can stop milking this story now. We’ve seen it from all angles. We’ve seen it boot up and do stuff. Unless you have a release date and price, we can stop posting about it everyday.

At first I thought this was a clickbait title because Feedly shows “Deus Ex: Mankind Divided isn’t the first game to take this approach” as the title. Then I realized that it just doesn’t have a title - but how does an article not have a title?

Any professional sport that pays it’s players. People can play for terrible teams, but play extremely well, then get paid way more because they are a better athlete. I’m not trying real sports are the same as esports, but you put in the time to practice and play well. You put in the time to learn the ins and out, and…

Yes, I feel the same. I could play an amazing game and still lose the game/ranks because it’s all based on wins/losses. This is disheartening for someone who doesn’t make playing Overwatch a priority.

Better stay away from IGN and Polygon then. Mostly IGN. At least on Polygon they try to have sort of reasoning behind some of the crap they spew in the comments section even though they are like the sheep on Reddit that just go with the majority.

I agree with most of what you said. I also agree with the server wipe EXCEPT, the game is not always online, so unless there’s a check for dates when things are discovered, people with pre-release copies will not have to worry about the wipe

I feel like reviewers who get this and judge it before the pre-release patch will give us misleading reviews? Maybe I should hide from the internet until I get it into my own hands...this just doesn’t seem like a good idea.

Evolutions ruined Fennekin and Chespin, while making everyone love Froakie (although I disagree). Same could happen here. They could drop in starters from the old games to help too :) I’ll take Charmander wherever I go.

I just came here to say it looks like Geralt is doing the Dab in that second picture. Apologies if that’s explained in the article, I skipped most of it because I’m still playing this game

Pretty sure it has very little to do with people willing to purchase apps. Higher percentage of a smaller demographic doesn’t outweigh the larger user base. Besides, if it’s worth it, they will buy it. I don’t fall for that old argument that Android users don’t pay for anything and just want to pirate all their apps.

I think it’s delayed for the purpose of other things that could happen. It’s not as live as other action games. I see it more like...Type-0. Your attacks SHOULD be some sort of strategic approach, rather than a smash fest. They didn’t have the combo/team attack feature in this latest demo, and the lack of counter…

My first ever was Squirtle, so I by the time I got around to restarting and using Charmander, I understood the mechanics and just dealt with the grind. Also, rolled with Butterfree in Yellow to balance out how weak Pikachu was going to be early on.

I didn’t say I supported anyone, just that all these articles do is fuel the flames. Not sure where you are getting that from. It does not encourage any sort of resolution, just more badmouthing, which makes the other side more pissed, which keeps the cycle going.

A lot of them are getting things wrong too...especially coming from clearly just playing the Platinum “tech” Demo...which is just that. You can tell when they complain about the simplicity of the combat or by saying it’s “kingdom hearts with FF skin”

Agreed, lots of people are judging the ENTIRE game off of the tech demo. Duscae did a good job of teaching you how to balance your attacks and shows how battles are rather strategic, even if you are only controlling one player, there’s so much going on that trying to (directly)control them all would be difficult.

I think if more people were able to play Duscae from tutorial to end, they would worry less about the combat. I first played Duscae, skipped through the tutorial, and immediately hated what I was doing. Then I went back, paid attention, and realized that the battle system was way more in depth then I was giving it…

This is all their doing. They are one of the few popular enough to do their own thing. I’ve watched Xavier Woods’ YouTube channel and that’s just who he is (and the other two randomly make appearances also and are pretty much just as insane).

Well said. This article, and others like it are doing nothing but fueling the flames

Being a games journalist makes that easier to say since they usually have a chance to get a game early to preview and thus have a better idea of the game before it even releases.

As long as we all agree that Pikachu is the worst starter...Unless it gets a mega evolution that makes it electric dragon...Pikazard!
