I’m not bothered by players who want to optimize the game. But it’s not a game that rewards them for trying. Players have the tools they need to play the hardest difficulty by, like, level 5. There’s some great stuff that only unlocks at level 20, sure. But it’s just other ways of dealing with the same obstacles.…

Overwatch sucks as a twitch shooter, it has no ring zero anticheat and 64hz tickrate and a floaty game engine. Agile players are still going to just play CS/Valorant, Overwatch continues to pine after players who have no interest in their product.

Out of the box it was never a good twitch shooter, and none of us are…

it’s not clear to us whether Herzog is offering a qualitative assessment of Gerwig’s movie, or genuinely speaking to its neon pink depiction of Barbieland, a world in which ostensibly happy “people” play out basic routines with no capacity for understanding any of the ennui or despair clawing at the edges of…

can't wait for the next update to remove a healer in favor of 4 v 4. clearly what they want is to replicate LoL and get to that 3 v 3 spot.

Really feels like they’re finally fully ditching just about everything about OW1 (sans characters and map) and the initially pitched sequel and just going all-in on the zoomer demographic. Which wasn’t how they first found success but hey, modern Blizzard is sure known for their excellent decisionmaking, right y’all?

This is like writing an article in 2011 saying “After Rebecca Black’s smash hit “Friday,” Taylor Swift better come out swinging!”

Barring an absolute miracle, Palworld will be a footnote or a snarky meme reference in T-minus 6 months once the player base dwindles to .0001% of its current peak. Just because game website…

“After Palworld, Pokémon Needs To Come Out Swinging”

Yeah, action and choreography are big ones. You can’t replace the exaggerated fluidity and speed that hand-drawn animation can convey. 

I mean, it’s “fine”, sure. The animated version, which is right there, is still leaps and bounds better than just “fine” and that begs the question, who is this for?

why not happen at the beginning of the first episode of this new series?

Good.

RIP Rocksteady. Cause of death AT&T+Zazloff+other idiots who don’t know how to run a game division.

Who needs chocolate chip when chocolate chip cookie dough exists?

don’t listen to these hate mongers and enjoy the show.

one of its joys is its constantly expressive faces that help give character beats and reactions even if they’re simply listening. It’s something perfectly natural in animation that live action rarely duplicates

It’s never clear who any of these live-action adaptations are for. Fans of the animated series certainly aren’t asking for them. People who are aware of the animated series but never watched it don’t care. Is it for people who’ve ever even heard of the originals, like Warrior Nun? That was so different from the source…

The Telltale Games game is great, though.

Tales was so good.

I don’t expect it to be good, but the stills look fine to me. Going to hold off my judgment for now. (still say they should have based it on Tales, though. Best story ever told in that universe)

People forget that while coitus is going on, Cortana is watching.
