If you’re staggered, you can’t attack—it interrupts your animation. Poise means you aren’t staggered, which means you can attack even though someone has hit you.

100% this. It’s bad communication on From Software’s part, and they should be called out for it. Same with the mysterious bannings on PC.

“It’s more situational...”

Then maybe letting people know how these situation works would keep them from complaining. The way they’re speaking it seems like it IS a useless stat and they just don’t want to acknowledge. I understand they’re known for being cryptic, but there has to be a point where letting people know…

I get that it’s impossible to please everyone. But sometimes it’s just Blizz being stubborn or fixated on some particular design decision.

When did Kotaku become a mouthpiece for Activision/Blizzard?

Ignoring the issues with IP laws in general, a large number of people have voiced their desire to see legacy support for World of Warcraft. Yet those at Blizzard go as far as telling their customers that said customers do not actually even know what it is…

Oh, they listen, they just say no.

1.2 billion people play some sort of video game around the world. 700 million play online games.

A tiny minority of gamers play WoW, for example :)

Psh, I still have to start the Witcher 1! I own all three, so I’d better someday.

Boo-hoo, go be uncomforted elsewhere.

yeah i still have to start the Witcher 2 XD

It’s a direct copy of one of the artworks used in the PnP RPG sourcebooks. Incidentally, which makes you more uncomfortable, that she’s wearing lingerie or that she’s a mass murderer?

VERY nice to see this, and definitely needed in this day and age where games continually change over time...getting better, getting fixed, or getting worse.

I know that devs like to interact with fans, but trying to deal with the segment of fans who shitpost/deliver STEAMING hot takes is a waste of time and emotional energy. It can only lead to tears, late night questioning why you spent so much time and money only to service emotionally stunted man-children and typically…

Playing through Dark Souls 2... and the hitboxes are STILL really bad. I keep teleporting into grabs and struck by blows that clearly are nowhere near me.

Crash mode in Burnout 3 was so much fun. I never understood why they minimized it in subsequent installments. Maybe I was the only one having fun with it.

Agreed. It is the one way I would re-subscribe to WoW. Or, if they released a classic server and timed the release of the expansions over the course of a couple years or something. I know I am not alone. I have zero desire to ever come back to WoW and play catch up.

Yeah that is the weakest excuse I have heard too. It’s not like they would even need to update the game. It’s already in it’s final form.

“We explored options for developing classic servers and none could be executed without great difficulty.” So, a few guys can set one up for themselves and invite 150k people to play on them, but the company that made the fucking game says it’s too hard? Bullshit.
