Gearbox can fuck right off. You either publish the game or you don’t. Don’t go around asking people to crowdfund the game when you know you’ll be publishing it anyways. This is just greedy. 

He probably thinks that because he saw that ‘Netherlands second’ video. The fact that it was satire just flew right over his head.

Watch Dogs 2 is not a cover based shooter. You can play it as one, but as the OP said, the game is way more fun if you just ignore the guns. And you can easily ignore all the guns.

Maybe I’m reading to much into Wildlands but I thought it did present quite clearly what happened to the country. First, you get the little cutscenes that literally tell you that you are putting people out of a job and robbing them of their livelihood. Then, if you get the DLC, it shows that because you created a…

Oh grow up. Ultimate sacrifices and victories never mean anything in the grand scheme of things. Finally a movie franchise that is willing to bluntly state that the happily ever after trope is bullshit.

The robots weren’t sentient at that point. Hence why they all stopped working when the control ship got blown up.

The problem is not that you have to install yet another client, the problem is that games are made exclusive to said client. These companies are supposed to be competing with each other on who can give consumers the best deal, instead they are dividing up the market so consumers must buy a product at a specific…

I for the longest time could only play the game with God mode on. I was that scared of it. It was about 10 years later that I actually finished it without any cheats.

Aside from BO, MW3 and Ghosts the COD singleplayer games have always been critical of warfare, and the MP has always been ‘its fun to shoot guys in the face’.

How are those depictions negative though? They are stereotypical, sure, but not necessarily negative. Is he hearing voices that tell him to kill everything he sees? Is he writing on the walls with his own feces? Is he foaming at the mouth? That are negative depictions. Bare feet, a straitjacket and hallucinating a…

Maybe because the type of fiction that does that is also deeply cynical about the future. The future sucks so we get an aesthetic style that suggests we haven’t actually made much progress.

Why? Because gamers are idiots and they can’t possibly reach a conclusion by themselves? That they can’t think for themselves? They need to be talked down to by the developer? Yeah that will go down well.

Yeah but most CEO’s get paid mostly in stocks. Its not like cutting their salary is suddenly going to lower operating costs and free up budget for development/developers by all that much.

Well, I used to agree with you that most ‘long’ games werent worth it. But now that I’ve gotten my degrees and got a job, I kinda changed my mind. I think that because I used to have quite a lot of spare time, long games quickly became repetitive because I could spend a significant amount of time per day on games.…

Then you don’t really know the level of freedom most of the world enjoys. Or the actual level of freedom most Americans ‘enjoy’. 

A game where you one hit kill everything with a lightsaber would be pretty boring. Hell, games where you play as an actual, full on Jedi would be pretty boring. Almost nothing can kill a Jedi, except another more powerful force user or a literal army shooting from all sides. Jedi are simply to powerful in combat to…

That’s how art works.

What did they communicate? All you got is a picture of a pretty lady in a swimsuit where you can see a large bulge suggesting a penis. Thats it. Everything else about it has been made up by people who saw the image then got mad over it. Not because the image actually communicated anything, but because people simply…

I’ve got plenty of pc games from 20 years ago that won’t run properly on my current system without patches, mods or customizing a bunch of game files. So no, its not as easy as you say.

He’s not entirely wrong with his criticisms. Google and Facebook have enormous influence with next to no oversight or accountability. That is part of the reason why this idiot could amass 3 million followers in the first place.
