It’s odd how much more hate early access gets than kickstarter. I guess a non-existent game is more acceptable to buy than an unfinished one?

I hate combat! It’s almost always repetitive, tedious, and against the story.

The system is absolutely atrocious. A guy has unintentionally scammed $100k and received no real punishment and backers were given no real refund. If you can rob people of that kind of money and get caught and still get away with it while supposingly not intending to con anyone, imagine what an actual scammer can do…

I’m always amazed how people can be so self-absorbed. He should be thankful that people have already funded half of his goal, but instead he’s insulting others for not paying for his dream. It’s not just him though, you see so many fan/supporter-dependant people out there who seem to have very little respect for their…

When did these other counties get ahead of us in disgusting unhealthy good gimmicks?!

There are a lot of broken games that are vastly superior to non-broken ones. Often it seems the most interesting games are the most broken while the generic boring ones are more smooth.

I’m curious what the player voice means for the game. Are they removing playing as a female? Are they removing all player customization period and just giving us a specific guy? Or will it be like Mass Effect, default guy but you can make a custom person if you want?

Damn you! I thought for sure your headline was about a ranked mode!

Odd way to frame it. HoN, LoL, Dota 2 and many other clones blatently copied core game mechanics and controls from Warcraft 3 along with completely copying the AoS genre made on SC/WC3 map editors. I don’t like HotS but it’s competely in line with games/maps they and their users have created for the past 15 years.…

What an incredibly peculiar game. I think I’d struggle to find a good picture given these constraints. To me, there’s just something so unattractive in these bathroom self-shot pictures. Like there are great pictures of dicks out there, but none of them are shot by the guy himself with a damn phone in his bathroom!

This looks like a job for mods.

Isn’t that relatively cheap? I can’t imagine hiring many services for less than $50/hour.

It’s disappointing, but what else would you expect from Kotaku but a Japan apologist point of view.

I don’t think I’ve ever rage quit a singleplayer game. I do get upset in some multiplayer games though. Particularly FIFA when I’m playing against some Real Madrid team where the guy does nothing but sprint down the field as Ronaldo and take stupid long shots (as in 95% of the online community) but gets a lucky goal…

Why don’t they just mute them? Isn’t that what most of their teamates are going to do anyways?

This seems very normal. Competitive players usually turn off any flashy graphics options in other games and tend to play on low settings unless a higher setting provides some useful information.

It’s like a kind of surreal glimpse into the future. Bots playing our video games for us... An MMO of bots, by bots and for bots.

What a fun and creepy story!

I don’t think you have a very firm grasp on what fans demand in other mediums. TV shows get constantly complained to by fans who want it to go a different direction. In sports, fans constantly make demands on what they think the manager should be doing. Movies, fans also passionately give feedback on how they want…

I thought her face and hair in the first one looked 100% like a digital drawing. But you can see it’s actually the makeup she applies which so closely mimicks the way you draw facial features on photoshop. Very soft and lots of contrast.
