Bioware is fighting for it’s life here.  This and Dragon Age 4 are their attempt to avoid being shuttered by EA.  Now, could the game actually be saved by this?  Sure, I mean if all else fails toss a world ending dragon at the problem and rebuild the game from scratch.

Sooo disappointed in Outer Worlds with it’s lack of a surprise mechanic, if this game doesn’t let me play a little gambling on the side for random item drops and all the sense of accomplishment that brings, I’m not buying it!

Who’s with me?  Player choice!  Player choice!  Player choice!  Ra ra... um, guys?

Then counter the actual opinion, not the very notion that he holds it.  Heck I don’t even agree with it but I still respect it.

He isn’t.  Why is it such a problem for him to state his opinion?  It’s not like the sheer strength of his resolve threatens to overwhelm your will and make you a thrall to his tastes.

Here’s my PSA, reviewers play games differently than ordinary people. They rush through, because that’s the job. It’s an unavoidable consequence of what they do, but it means that certain aspects of reviews must be processed with that in mind. I’ve learned that a reviewer’s opinion of what’s too long, what is a waste…

Crazy Taxi, but with stroke victims? Yes!

How are we ever going to get D&D recognized as an olympic sport if we don’t take it with the utmost seriousness! Fa I say, faa!

(This was sarcasm. I realized I needed to point that out since apparently slightly off odds are as serious to some people as tornado alerts.)

“The internet” didn’t react, kotaku is inventing a reaction by cherry picking responses. Most people don’t care.

I remember being excited for it, I remember making excuses for it DURING the movie, and I remember seeing all the threadbare connections to something resembling Mario World in there (like how devolving King Koopa into his t-rex form in that hanging cement mixer is about as close to the Koopa clown car as we were ever…

Alright, there’s a very simple action you can take then. Just reverse the suspension entirely, not a literal half measure, and then denounce China’s actions in Hong Kong publicly.

If that’s too tough for you, than a billion dollar market is worth more to you than Hong Kong’s independence. That’s all there is to it.

It’s good to see the ultimate crack smoking warlock had children.

They do realize people can just host their own servers right? We’re talking about a limit of 8 people here, presumably people you already know.  Bethesda is selling something people can do for free.

They created the problem and are now selling the solution to you.  Yes, you SHOULD be mad.  That is the only rational emotion to feel at this.

Oh geez this is pretty terrible. Let us host on our OWN server Bethesda. Seriously, $100 a year, when I can get an online subscription to ALL the games on my 360 for $60?

The trainwreck just won’t end.

You just always pick the Friday one don’t you guys?

Here’s the actual best Penny Arcade for the week.

This was bound to happen Activision-Blizzard.  You sided with an oppressive government against the very values the US stands for.  Heck, you betrayed Capitalism itself out your greed, the mantra that greed is good was actually undone by greed itself.  That’s some meta level self-commentary.

It’s a very fractal game! Soon as the exclusivity with Epic expires I’ll be snagging it on GOG.

I want to thank you for saying “Final Fantasy VI (released as FFIII in the US originally)“ instead of “Final Fantasy III (called FF6 in Japan)“. At this point, the game’s been known as FF6 in the US longer than it was known as FF3, by a few decades in fact, so I certainly appreciate any journalist that acknowledges…

They can’t hit them in their pocket book nearly as hard as losing china would though.  This is meant to reach deeper than money.

This puts the lie to “voting with your wallet”.  Vote with your votes people.  The phrase “vote with your wallet” was invented by fat cats to condition us not to do anything that might actually regulate them after all.
