Lol, this is why I avoid MOBA games in general. Well, one of about two dozen reasons. There’s just no way to protect yourself from toxic dipshits out to ruin your fun and day.

I was just talking about this with my wife a few days back, about how the evolution of communication technology has taken us from expecting to hear back from someone maybe that month, to that week, to that day, and with instant text communication we have inscribed all of our worst habits from the halcyon days of IRC…

It’s getting real bad between the “omg, what’s wrong, they didn’t text back” and work asking why you didn’t answer that fukkin email the office workaholic sent you at 10:35 p.m.

Christ, I would hate to be with someone who demanded instant responses to texts.

I can understand time-sensitive texts, but my wife and I mostly call each other if we need an answer on something quickly. If we text each other, it’s largely information that can either wait, or that we aren’t expecting an immediate…

it’s an absolute deal-breaker for me. no excuses.

Forsen’s claim that “I can watch what I say; I cannot watch what my community does” is valid up to a point.

No entertainer can ever be held fully responsible for the actions of one or more members of their audience; people are strange, and they take material meant for entertainment as a foundational/guiding principle…

“No, no, no, no. You cannot have both. I can watch what I say; I cannot watch what my community does. Are you fucking serious?”

I mean, it’s like pulling teeth to get anything resembling a short natural in most games, so there ain’t nothing wrong with being that guy. It’s a good question.

I’m going to be that guy. Can I be a black person (^not Jet black like above) who isn’t bald or who doesn’t have an Andre 3000 perm?

Honestly, what’s the appeal of Twitch chat when there’s more than like 50 viewers? It’s literally impossible to decipher any one message when they’re all scrolling by that fast, so there’s no point typing anything nuanced, and spamming emotes is just pissing into an ocean of piss.

Damn... I remember being hyped for this when it was first announced.

When I go to Martial Arts conventions I don’t expect to be challenged to kumite every 6th step when walking. Instead I walk around the floor unbothered until I enter a seminar about a topic I want to learn.

Mine’s similar: why can’t I add titles to my shopping cart directly from my wishlist? Surely they’d benefit from having that impulse buy instead of “oh I have to go to the Store Page first — what, bad reviews??”. SIGH

Honestly, the difficulty changes sounds just like Enemy Within. 10 hours of brutal difficulty, followed by the final 2 hours of ez cheez. Guess we just have to wait for Long War to make it hard again

Yeah...I’m with the negatives on the tone changes. I do not dig the Chosen, at all. It takes the game to 80's cartoon villain levels and I’m not a fan.

I have to say, as much as I ‘m enjoying the gameplay mechanics of WotC, I actually do understand and even agree with some of the criticisms above. Taking my first Chosen down was pretty damn cool, but taking the rest of them was basically just more of the same. And while I personally like the characters of the chosen,…

many big budget games don’t turn a profit; they spend tons of money in the hopes of making tons of money, but in the cases of games like Lost Planet 3, Alpha Protocol, etc. (games that were years in development but didn’t sell well) the publisher’s only recourse is to try and help the developer put SOMETHING in the…

Well, my uncle’s ex wife had a nephew that worked as a janitor at a business that made toilet paper, and let me tell you, 10K is just a ridiculous average amount to pay anyone to make video games. How hard can it be? A computer, printer and maybe a decent 19" CRT monitor and anyone should be able to get their work…

This. The animation of the NES and SNES here have consistent pixel placement, so one could argue these are representing an animated sprite. Whether the NES can animate that many frames that quickly, I have no damn clue. But you can pull off this exact look with purely 2D graphics.

I will bet they were literally just MAME cabinets, and these were rock-brain simple people selling to dirt-brain simple buyers. I bet nobody in this operation realized the illegalities of emulators.
