These seem like really low level obvious things, How many people actually believe game devs are lazy or that everyone is a coder or things like that? I was hoping for some juicier stuff.

Except Star Wars isn’t a horror movie? Darth Vader’s redemption was perfectly fine in context of a space opera. Really don’t know where you’re coming from on this.

You see I don’t really buy that because Bungie games were always story heavy and focused, even back when story-lite games like Doom were dominating the scene.

Which is remarkable because JJ has been the heart and soul of the company for so long. I actually met him once a looooong time ago at Macworld in 1998, back when Bungie was making kickass games like Myth. He seemed like a really passionate guy about games and was definitely all about having fun.

The whole thing is pretty incredible, and makes Bungie seem entirely inept.

I find it hard to imagine Jason Jones could be fired. That would be wacky if he could.

That was my thought. Holy shit he won’t be wanting for a job I’d imagine. That kind of skill, diversity and work ethic is impressive.

Would be neat if they resolved this by indicting the people who were being sketchy but didn’t ban the practice outright the same way online poker got crushed years ago. I already withdrew all my money anyhow just in case shit goes belly up in a hurry.

Well Blops 3 will likely have shit for story anyhow so I suppose it doesn’t matter what order you play in. That’s some out of the box thinking there Jason Blundell, all these archaic types trying to tell a story in some sort of chronological sequence. Quick, somebody tell every author, screenwriter and songwriter that…

I think he’s saying you forgot to add that to the end of what you said.

I think he’s just accusing somebody of something, because that’s what we do here at Deadspin.

They actually lost all 4 of the games they played today. They went 0-3 in groups which forced them into a tiebreaker with AHQ for the last quarterfinal spot.

Always online is the greatest.

Depends on whether you come out ahead or not. Those of us who do probably don’t feel scammed, but I will say that the stuff happening at the top is super shady and needs to stop.

Yeah Tom Brady getting caught trying to circumvent air inflation rules on football has lead everyone to assume that everyone in the NFL is trying to circumvent the rules. SMH.

Maybe the lesson that can be learned is that violent behavior can not be predicted upon a set of arbitrary character traits, as if though we can group up all of “those” (insert whoever you like) people as the “dangerous” ones.

That’s weird, I played DFS (and continue to do so) and won money.

Seems like a simple enough way to settle the situation.

Kudos to Chancellor. Must have been tough for him to watch his team struggle like that.

It’s unsurprising that they need to dance around sales numbers because Destiny at release was pure shit and they probably didn’t come near the number of concurrent players and sales they were hoping for.
