Hello Games just dropped a new trailer for the big No Man’s Sky update coming next week, showing off multiplayer for the first time. The game looks a lot closer to how people pictured it at launch—and the update will also feature unlimited base building, potentially solving an ongoing problem in the community.

If she doesn’t want people replying to what she posts, she can start a blog and turn the comments off. That’s not what Twitter is and acting like someone replying to your tweet with extremely polite disagreement is some grand act of sexism is idiotic.

Peter, with all due respect to Jason Schreier, you might be the best writer working in the videogame media industry, full stop. Are you still only a weekend/holiday guy?
I’m a huge Ellison fan and have been reading nothing but his work since he passed, and I’d just like to tell you that you’re awesome for both writing this article and talking to the original designers. I couldn’t love this more.

When I think back on the games I played growing up, the Ultima series stands out as one of the most unique and…
Right there with you man. Even today the game looks awesome IMO and even though I played it for the first time couple months ago, I was fucking blown away and not just in a “Wow cool for the time” way, I was hooked on the game completely and I still sing the reactor theme to myself at least once a day.
I played system shock and SS2 for the first time very recently actually. In my current streak of “hey I’m 36 years old and there’s a bunch of old games that everyone is raving about that I never played, so I’m gonna play them all right now” and so far after the Crusaders, Syndicates, Grim Fandangos, Strife quest for…
I remember being mesmerized by SS. I bought a CD-ROM extra edition version a year or so after it was released and for the time it immersed me into the game. It was just so well done, few games have equaled it to me.

I thought this was a pretty meh taek when it appeared on Polygon a week or so ago and I think it’s even more meh now.
There’s too much nonsense going on and I’d say most people are playing a game to get away from the nonsense, to relax, to unwind, and enjoy whatever free time they have. I don’t agree with making every little thing on the earth political, and especially games.
It is not the job of the critic to force a creator to have an agenda. It is the choice of the creator to have one or not. This “all art is political” is post-modernist pseudo-Marxist drivel. Pac-Man did not have a political statement to make. Neither did Pong. Neither did Doom. Or Duke Nukem. Or Mortal Kombat. Or Tie…
