I mean, you absolutely FLEW through it compared to most people. HLTB has it as 19-23 hours for most people, and that’s about what it took me. The big problem with the length is that the game should have been 8-10 hours for most people, and most of the middle third was just boring nonsense and then you’re overpowered. 

It’s more like a quarterback meant to throw it for a touch down, but accidentally slipped the ball out of their hands, happening to get caught by a back, who ran it in—which was real lucky because the entire defense saw the throw about to happen and pulled off the line to intercept the pass.

picked up up for $30, enjoyed it enough.

So, I know this was just a flippant joke, but Diablo Cody has done a LOT of TV work, and also had another Charlize Theron movie come out a few years ago. 

So...socially awkward person is awkward in an unexpected social situation?

Nope. Because even though they have a system to save everything, they treat turning your system off like you dying the final death. It’s a problem they need to fix.

it...can be cancelled at any point...The player didn’t because he isn’t good (and there isn’t a ton of time), but the action can be performed.

What the hell are you talking about? you save LOTS in Dark Souls. Bonfires exist, you know.

Not a save like that. A save where you save and it exits. When you reload, it deletes the save. So you can’t keep playing the save after you die(which doesn’t work for a roguelike), but you can play for 3 hours, do well, go have dinner with your family, let your kid play a game, and then resume where you left off. 

They already have a save in the game. If you die, and you had saved at the weird minotaur station thing, it brings you back to the same game world. It costs 6 ether, and it works just fine. 

Don’t be dumb. Being able to stop playing a run that you’re 3 hours into and return later isn’t making it “easy.” Not having save points that you can just continue from if you die is sensible for the game. But you can have a save that deletes after you resume, you know. Games have been doing it for a long time.

Not really, you can dash. The player just didn’t think about enemies shooting him on landing. It’s not super-common for that to happen, but he could have dodged the attack. Honestly, this kind of poor decision making is on the player. He is at the VERY beginning of the level that gives you health and has essentially…

Maybe, but I would bet that they are just trying to attract more games, in general, rather than more exclusive ones, in particular. I would imagine that the main way they might get more “exclusives” would be4n when an Indie game studio is developing the game for PC and only has the resources for a single console…

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Comments like this are completely understandable, and also completely detached from reality.

I don’t know if there is a buff dude hot-tub version, specifically (I’m laughing my ass off at “ball huggin bathing suits” as if this is something that would have sex appeal for women), but there are a LOT of thirst traps aimed at heterosexual women, though while these include shirtless dudes working out, they tend to…

Oh buzz off, loser. Twitch has been about live-streaming from the chat, and has been about appealing to audiences for what they’re looking like from the start. It began as a live-streaming IRL site, they added video games, and it has moved back and forth being about videogames and about chatting about art and music,…

Is Ian Walker/Kotaku trying to defeat this legislation? How? By criticizing the way in which Gearbox actually went and testified and tried to put real-world consequences on the line if the bill wasn’t defeated?

Look, while it’s useful to consider all of the tactics that we have, and the repercussions of using them, I’m a little annoyed at the disingenuous arguments from the left on this. Businesses have to speak up, but they can’t boycott...um, what? That is literally how a business speaks. 

If that reloading mechanic made people excited, this is the time to inform/remind people that Receiver 2 exists, and is awesome. Receiver is a roguelike in a dystopian future, where you have to kill automated turrets and drones with realistic guns, where the horror is on loading.
