Been clearing up a lot of games I always meant to finish. There’s Bloodborne, which I gave up on in frustration but not at the difficulty. A power outage killed my 20ish hour save.

Xfuckingcomfucking 2 is fucking fuck good fuck.

And neither sounds very good. Haven’t both those ideas been done to death?

Great. Now even Rockstar is going to start pushing online only modes. I just want big detailed open worlds to roam in without some dick parking a bus in front of the door when I go buy a new shirt.

It’s economics. We all assign value to products. I was looking forward to The Witness because Braid was amazing. Then $40 was announced and I deflated. No indie game is worth that, not to me.

I see that happen a lot. Usually it’s games I don’t want but the time or two it was I gathered that when you list a game on Steam there is some confusing wording around dates for listing, preorders, release, and testing (by Steam). I don’t know for sure that this is the case but maybe.

I hope there’s a nice running joke about how this is ANH spliced slightly differently. Disney won’t just step up and own it but maybe LEGO can do it.

So he worked with pretty much anyone under 35?

I just hope they tighten up the controls and give more control. The demo was nice and flashy but I didn’t feel like I was actually doing very much, mostly watching. Glad there’s gonna be another demo.

Exact opposite experience for me. Against my better judgment I bought it and was disappointed an hour later when I was still drawing lines, still just wandering around with no purpose, and still trying not to roll my eyes at the incredibly pretentious audio recordings.

By calling a guy out for acting like a piece of shit? If that’s your definition then yes. At least I own it.

Wanted this for a long time. If innocents behaved accurately then some would be desperately trying to hide mere feet from a firefight. Am I gonna chuck a grenade then? Nope. If I’m blasting away and some terrified pooch ran by I would hesitate to shotgun the guy rushing me.

From the review, Kotaku chiefs can’t get past them all either.

Geez, EA. Next time maybe try. The free stuff is insulting and the paid sounds like the other half of the game I thought I was buying. What a joke.

I was bowing to popular opinion. Not worth it to get into internet fights with strangers that don’t know me enough to accurarely judge me. I own it when I say something stupid, it’s how we learn and grow. Never wished cancer on anyone though.

Poetic justice isn’t karma though. It’s a random act that feels justified.

I don’t make public statements whining about it. I accept my jackassery.

Agree to disagree.

So being a jerk is forgiven? I don’t see it that way. I mean kudos to him, he’s clearly done well for himself and given a voice to some. But we shouldn’t pretend he never did wrong. Cults of personality aren’t helpful.

Not angry at all. I have never seen this guy or his work. But I don’t just think it’s ok either and won’t change my mind because someone else did. That’s being independent, not angry. I won’t think about this tomorrow just like I didn’t yesterday. But a dick is a dick. And this guy seems like a pretty big one even if…
