Yep. It’s all well and good that existing gamers are used to and embrace gamer tags, but if there is any desire at all to capture an outside audience, changes need to be made.

I was expecting more of this too.

that was my experience when Fallout 4 release. it took me like, 5 hours to get through the intro because I kept adjusting settings (many of which required a restart), only to find that the next section of the game didn’t run well. Rinse repeat about 20 times. It was annoying and killed the game for me.

this is assuming, of course, that you have a relatively up-to-date PC. My experience is that anything middle-of-the-road is quickly relegated to medium/low settings, choppy frame rate, or both. Granted, this isn’t always the case, but it has been something I have experience regularly.

I am one of these people, and I can attest wholeheartedly that I will happily give up performance for ease of use. Nothing ruins games for me faster than driver errors, random crashes, or having to fiddle with specs to get the game to run just so on my few-year-old desktop. As a result, my few-year-old desktop is now…

Anime anatomy is almost always horrendous.

dang man, I’m sorry to hear that :(

this is my response to anime breasts in general.

It’s particulary frustrating when you have conversations like this:

Like nearly everyone else here, I connected with Calvin as a kid. I didn’t know why, but I did.

I mean, I know a lot of people that have trouble with math, but I never had to learn it, I just knew it. People are more naturally inclined towards different things.

This is a real thing. Whenever someone in the office asks me who I’m rooting for, I tell them I’m not into sports. They look at me all confused, and then slowly ostracize me from the conversation, then and for the rest of forever.

I’m with you here. It’s hard to take anything seriously with names like that. It’s pretty telling that I’ve been following fighting game competitions since 3rd strike and the only two people I can match face to name are Diago and Wong. Gee, I wonder why....

that’s an artifact of the way they designed the menus in D1. it actually makes sense for console (elements move towards your cursor, reducing time to reach, and also have friction, so cursor slows when it touches) but for mouse I can imagine it is annoying as hell.

If you enjoyed running from murderous fish-cultists as they chased you through the streets of a soggy coastal town in Call of Cthulhu Bloodborne, give it a try.

I’m in the same boat as you: I haaaaaated PVP in D1, because it felt like I would spawn, run to my teammates, and then get one-shot across the map by snipers, blown up with a grenade, or murdered by a shotgun. I never felt like I got to participate. Additionally, it really seemed like the game would steamroll once…

I like that they keep the base weapons the same, but I do kinda hope they expand on the mod system down the road. Good amount of potential there.

That’s on the diehards then. Fandom is a spectrum, not binary.

my experience (again, me) is the opposite. The travel time for multiple directional inputs on a stick is much longer for me than on a pad. It also feels very exaggerated, which means I often accidentally miss inputs, like skipping down on a fireball motion.

I think D-pad suits it just fine. I find that my input execution is faster and cleaner on pad than on stick. If I could combine a Dpad with the buttons of an arcade stick, I’d be a happy camper.
