From a technical level this looks really nice, but it's not really doing anything new in terms of art direction. At least Blizzard was the *first* studio to harvest all their ideas from Warhammer. After a hundred other games do it, it doesn't get me excited anymore. This game seems to be doing it really well but...…

Out of all those games, the one I enjoyed most was Torchlight simply because the dungeons are pretty short, the character growth is really flexible, and it constantly showers you with new loot like a doting grandmother. Seeing as this is a Korean MMO, I think we can expect exactly zero of those things. It does look…

Think how much better it would be if the fans had to *figure out* the links between these different stories, because they aren't clearly spelled out. All the absurd hogwash about alien technology and feuding factions of hidden movers, could all be there, peripheral to the historical drama, hidden in plain sight for…

That would be the case if the developer advertised features as part of the base game, but after buying it, told you they were actually extra DLC. Ie, "15 multiplayer maps" but it only includes 5 multiplayer maps and you have to buy the rest. Whether extra content is there or not, if you were told $60 gets you 15…

Here's a shocker for people who hate On-Disc DLC: When you go to McDonalds and you buy french fries, there's actually a whole cooker full of fries that they AREN'T giving you. it's RIGHT THERE and they are deliberately not giving all of it to you. When you buy a movie ticket, they are actually playing the film nonstop…

I've been arguing for a while that I don't think people who are being sexist, understand why they are sexist. Maybe it's confirmation bias but I feel like this proves it pretty well. I wonder if the journalist were a woman and the developer a man, if all the fingers would still be pointing at her; I'm willing to bet…

I find it ironic that Gamer Gate claims to be all about ethical journalism, when it started with some guy publicly posting unverifiable claims about his clinically depressed ex-girlfriend's sex life. For that reason alone, it's impossible to even trust Gamer Gate on what its definition of "ethical journalism" actually…

I work in the industry too, and I'd say within the last 3-5 years, things have begun moving in the right direction but we haven't arrived yet. This is only an anecdotal observation but it seems like more women are starting to work in the games industry and share their input, and that is making a big difference. But…

As far as I can tell, they really want things to stay the way they've been, and they blame a lot of the evolution of the industry on game journalists trying to force progressive values on the gaming community and developers.

Katniss is about as flawed as it gets. But among those flaws just happens to not be every single stereotype about women. Starbuck, who is the quintessential tough ass kicking chick, is also an extremely flawed character. Big difference between flaws and stereotypes. And there's also a big difference between…

It's even more annoying in Destiny because they developed a fully functional 3rd person camera that actually works really, really well. If I recall it was even originally being developed as a 3rd-person game. I'm guessing they made the switch to appeal to fans of Call of Duty, Titanfall, HALO and other FPS games but I…

My wife has never once complained about my gaming habits until Destiny came out - and solely because I can't pause it when she's talking to me.

It doesn't check off any of the "AAA Tentpole Game" boxes that are supposed to be checked off, but it's still a sinister, addictive, fun game that won't let me go.

I never tried cave farming but it seems like a huge waste of time since engrams are worthless 99% of the time. Gaining faction levels lets you actually buy good gear and it's guaranteed that you'll get what you want, just from playing the game normally and having fun.

What is this mystical power they wield? Are they wizards? Gods?

Truth is the game is just not what people were expecting. Once everyone gets over that, they realize what it is and enjoy it. ...or realize they've already been enjoying it for the last forty hours. I wasn't buying any of the hype and went into the beta with zero expectations, and was very pleasantly surprised.

I'm wondering if all these factions are going to come into play later down the road... Like, if some side with the Traveller and some turn against it.

Having just finished the story today... It feels like the pilot episode of a TV show. It definitely lays the groundwork for something interesting and introduces you to the major players of the conflict... It just doesn't do anything with it. It's all setup and no payoff.

ah, well it doesn't seem that they're really united in any way... Half the time you run in on them fighting each other. If anything it seems like there is not a unified threat against humanity as you are lead to believe. The Fallen may think they are the light and everyone else is the darkness. Maybe the Traveller…

That's a Hunter with the Bladedancer subclass... I just unlocked it and and it was the difference between going to bed at midnight, and going to bed at 2 am.
