but the world that Batman exists in is one where the cops are completely incompetent and incapable of maintaining law and order, sometimes they’re even complicit in the criminal activity that goes on.

I don’t know what Roblox looks like, nor do I know what the game is. My brain has just plugged in a vague alternate version of Minecraft as a placeholder. So seeing articles like this is just like, what the hell is going on over there? But also, the mystery makes it more interesting, so I’m going to continue to not…

I feel like we already have so many WWII games already, and this one would just get lost in the shuffle.

I dunno — considering how limiting guns actually are if you’d selectively apply a tad of realism, I could see it work out. There’s a reason bayonets were still popular at the time.

I liked to theorize during the show that the reason the opening credits had a map that appeared concave is because they live within a Dyson Sphere.

A Song of Ice and Fire is actually a space opera and all the events take place on a planet that had a terraforming disaster. The colony ship crashed so long ago that it has largely been lost to time and no one is aware that there are other planets out there. All the paranatural going ons are due to nanomachines spread…

Sometimes she punches you so hard dolphins come out of the ground.

I’m just going to pirate more because you said this. XD

Because when it comes down to it, piracy is about this: A person is either willing to buy a game or they’re not. If not, what’s it matter what they do after that? They weren’t going to buy it anyway. Unless they literally shoplift a physical copy of a game, not one single cent is ‘lost’. The entire concept of piracy…

but what’s the ROI for Sony

It’s funny how often the “every game should be for everyone” apostles fail to see the flaw in their reasoning when they instantly make an amalgamation between a community and its toxic vocal minority.

I feel like it’s one of those that’s almost a litmus test: ‘how long are you willing to play a game while it’s not fun in order to get to the fun stuff?’ Because that was always the impression I had: the fun stuff was there, just buried under several layers of ‘master purposefully difficult controls’, ‘sort out…

In some ways it’s the opposite of blocking. In Street Fighter games you hold the direction away from your opponent in order to block their attacks, but you still suffer a sliver of damage (this is called chip damage). Blocking also has the problem that when you block, you suffer “blockstun” which means that for a…

“...reserve the most criticism over representation to the media that actually makes the attempt.”

Shenmue 1 cured me of ever wanting to play Shenmue.

It also looks like fucking garbage, which has made me feel kinda nuts reading Kotaku praising its look.

So in other words, you agree that “Persona without the heart” is an extremely accurate description of SMT, you just don’t like the implication that that’s a bad thing?

Lol okay then.

“Out of over 7000 reviews, the game has only some 1600 (or roughly 8%) positive votes as of this writing.”
10% of 7000 is 700, so it’s more than 20% positive reviews. I know you said “roughly” but cmon, how rough are we talking here?

Not a true gamer

“I actually use the mouse wheel to swap weapons on the fly” so you’re default? XD
