Somehow I feel like a failing score from an outlet I never heard of is a cry for attention more than it is valid criticism. Especially when their review itself is quite favorable of the game.

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. I mean nowadays it’s hard to even get an apology, much less a detailed response to some of the more cynical criticisms (“Microsoft MADE Arkane do this!”). To be honest what I want is a Redfall from an alternative universe where it’s a 92/100 on metacritic, and we’re never going to get…

“Sorry” and “I’m disappointed in myself” don’t cut it in my opinion. I was really excited for this game. The location, the single player/co-op, the idea of an open world done by an immersive sim studio, AND an enemy concept that hasn’t been done to death yet.

No, you don’t have to do that - you want to do that so players can’t edit them.

I agree, I think the game wants to appeal to everyone, but PvEvP is a niche audience. I can’t help but think that it would be better as a PvE game - even if you’re racing against another team without being able to interfere with them directly. I feel like that’s a more unique concept.

Can you please freaking stop spoiling this show? If HBO wanted us all to know what it was, wouldn’t they name the episode after it? And holy crap STOP spoiling in the URL’s! The episode came out last night, people have things to do and can’t always watch it on time. If this has to be why I stop reading Kotaku then so…

“The following contains spoilers for the first two episodes of HBO’s The Last of Us series.”

“effortless style”

I see where you’re coming from. In my environment we use a centrally managed scan-less AV, but when it does flag something we take it as a sign to bring in another application and run a scan just in case. Recently someone who had just 1 “strange file behavior” detection had 600+ detections on MWB (almost all, but not…

Evidently Magnus is a six-sigma chess machine and can detect with perfect precision when an opponent’s stress hormones are below baseline for their ELO.

Fair point, Norton and McAfee are awful.

“clog up their PCs with anti-virus software”

I’m not really surprised about this. A vocal portion of B4B players introduce themselves as “L4D2 vets” (whatever that means) before giving their opinions about B4B sucking. These are the same people that jumped into higher difficulties, played it like it was L4D2, then got mad and complained about it being a bad game.

Hard disagree.

The weirdest thing to me is that many of the exciting titles are launching “TBA” or otherwise undisclosed 2021 (which starts 2 months after the consoles launch, I think it’s fair at this point to be more specific). Past that they’ve had extremely minimal gameplay shown and have not at all been talked about or expanded…

Bungie’s biggest enemy is themselves. I’ve never seen a game company so willing to routinely rework and destroy work they’ve already done.

How do you know if someone’s not a vegetarian?

I was super bummed because although I only play Warframe once a year, I like to collect the free Primes when I can. I tuned into the broadcast a 6 PM. Hydroid was distributed between 5 and 6. I stayed tuned into the stream anyway, and was a bit sad when I opened Warframe right after and didn’t see Hydroid in my mail.

Tell me this isn’t a cult.

Nah, VATS is actually the best thing about FO76. You have to get a perk card to target parts but once you do, it auto-selects that part.
