I feel the same way as someone who has been playing a lot of Battleborn. Patricia and many other reviewers gush about the characters yet I find the characters in Battleborn just as endearing/hilarious. I love how Shayne & Aurox gripe at each other or ISIC is such a megalomaniac. Plus, you get the campaign mode to…

Actually that was one of the realizations I had myself that made me put more time into it.

The meat is in how in every match you have to change tactics (and heroes) constantly. Blizzard has done a lot of good work in making it so the game more or less forces you to play as a team even if you don’t know the other players. That said, this game really opens up when you play with a few friends. Even just when…

Every day, at 12:00 p.m.:

“It’s hiiiiigh noon.”

Oh fuck. That’s one of the reasons that if I ever need corrective lenses and have the option of contact lenses, I think I’m going to go with glasses, thank you very much.

This thoughtful response demonstrates why I think Kotaku is the saving grace of Gawker.

I feel like Persona would make a pretty good movie/TV show. It already is one really!

We already got a good video game movie. It was called Mortal Kombat.

I was going to write a wordy emotional response on what Calvin and Hobbes has meant to me growing up but I’ll just leave this here.

Hope for humanity does exist, well how about that. I owe somebody some money.

I don’t like the Uncharted games, and while I can understand their appeal and why they’re popular I got bored of them after it was clear that I was just moving from one set-piece to the other without gameplay in-between that was actually engaging to me. Uncharted almost feels like it’s on rails to me, and so I don’t…

God forbid not everyone like a popular game... Fanboys will be fanboys. Kind of sad to see that Troy Baker also got involved.

Yeah but they suck, so don’t feel bad.

What an asshole. Using “Making games is not a job - it’s an art” as your argument for paying game industry workers jack shit is predicated on the completely idiotic premise - one that’s all-too-common in contexts outside of gaming, too - that artists don’t deserve to be fairly compensated for their work.

Looking over WildTangent’s wiki page, it’s hilarious that this guy considers what he does as ‘art’.

making games is not a job—it’s an art

Sadly it won’t. I play on console and PC, because there are definitely some Genre’s that work out better on the different machines to me. The problem is that there isn’t any respect in a PC port, it’s used as a quick cash grab for people who spent thousands on a high end machine and don’t want to dish out 400 on what…

It’s a fucking joke. It has always been a joke. To me, whenever someone takes the whole “master race” schtick literally it only speaks of their insecurity in their platform of choice (and that applies to PC gamers who buy into the schtick too). No to mention you open yourself up for trolling.
