I mean, most successful twitch channels have an element of “specific audience / first entrant in with critical mass”. Think Alex Jones when it’s not like he’s the only “crazy” out there.

Ahh yes, the Tucker Carlson path to success.

That’s fair. I think my problem with the stick/carrot aspect of it is I just don’t have the time. And so while the early game was enjoyable to me, I wish there was a way to put it back into “delightful cruise” that isn’t powering through a section of the game I don’t really have time nor (to be honest) the desire to…

I think the problem itself is the Gacha mechanic. And I agree with those downthread that its sort of a, “if you don’t like it, move on situation.”

You’ll run into walls.

Adventure Rank 12 is still pretty forgiving. Once you start getting into the upper 20's and the World Rank changes you can end up in some really nasty (To do X, Do Y. - To Do Y Do Z. - To Do Z, Do X) just because of the way the levels work.

Granted, if you’re a twitchy teenager that doesn’t mind…

That’s true, but that’s the problem when “the company” owns your character. These aren’t games you can take home and just crack on your own time. Any ongoing time spent is an agreement between you and a 3rd party.

On my copy Cyberpunk (to pick a Kotaku bashing favorite), whatever I do is pretty much up to me.  But that…

Statistics would say that it’s probable quite a few stayed in box since collecting for better or worse has been around since Atari.

Certain games are just weird like that. Skyrim would do that to me as well as The Outer Worlds. I suspect the gamestate in open world starts in good shape from the save file and just randomly overloads with things that its tracking as things are constantly called and shut down.

It’s fine on a PS4.  Could it be better? Yes.

Meh - this site and the Internet’s reaction was rather overblown. Everyone was so busy to be part of “a moment” that most weren’t being particularly objective or interested in enjoying it.

I actually let the game sit without trying to get my money back and went on to other things. I enjoyed my first impressions at the…

This makes me genuinely unhappy. I’ve been avoiding Disney Plus since it launched.

Yea - honestly I think the initial success of the kickstarter was actually what caused this. If it had taken in Indy money, you would think (although I could be wrong) Roberts direction would have been more specific - starting with certain game systems and expanding outwards once they were fixed because they would…

Why is everyone ripping on Cena and not the Studio that didn’t back him? We KNOW why the studio didn’t, but they’re ultimately the ones towing this line and forcing their American actors to tow a CCP.

I feel like if Bautista could find the same directing/writing talent that Arnold did, he could have a Schwarzenegger like run.

People would do well to remember that the skill/personality set that it takes to build great wealth in the American capitalist system is to a large extent antithetical to the skill/personality that gives it all away. So to an extent, I’m not surprised to see how much trouble Jezebel, but leftist sites in general, tend…

‘eh - Exception proves the rule though.
Yes politics has always had a part of sports. But no, politics has not always been omnipresent in it and frankly were it, they would be far less attended because it removes the escapism.

This is one of many cases where really the guidance should come directly for Blizzard. Blizzard needs to balance two things. First, their realistic obligations for having team’s in China. They don’t need to be unfair here. But they need to balance that against their responsibilities as an American company with Korean,…

If that makes you feel comfortable, ok. Encounters with racism tend to be highly personal and varied. When this story first broke, another person from Dallas was describing he may see this once a year at most whereas the Overwatch player is describing this as constant - in terms of actual assault.

It’s the element of cartoonishness that he probably loves. Mineta just isn’t a real character (at least so far in the Anime). You see that in a lot of Japanese stuff where the mysogynist aspect of it is played for comedy, only in MHA it’s not an aspect of a character - it seems to be his only trait. He’s just an…

This is correct and why Gamestop is mentioning it. Where Gamestop is screwed is they don’t realize any of that cash.
