Good for Baker. I sometimes get sick of him voicing seemingly everything (that Nolan North isn’t already doing), but if he’s standing up for his principles and supporting his union people, I’ve got more respect for him now.

To be fair Randy couldn’t afford to pay a union actor because that money would be better spent literally lining his pockets.

This isn’t specifically aimed at Borderlands 3, but this is a pretty common problem with loot shooters in general: The entire game is built around getting better drops, better drops usually mean bigger damage, and thus the endgame basically is to use whatever characters and weapons have the biggest DPS.

The article went out of its way to avoid spoilers, and here you go.

Now I am going to fix it and this comment will make no sense. MUHAHAHAHAHAHA. Unless I comment and. Well damn. 

60% of the time I make the right choices, every time. 

Yes, I’m sure there would have been no outrage whatsoever if Valve hadn’t made that comment. Nobody would have taken issue with a game being pulled from Steam at the last second and placed on an objectively inferior platform. Definitely no cause for anger there.

If you liked Privateer or Freelancer, you’ll definitely enjoy this game.

I find it hard to believe that Valve didn’t know what they were provoking. Either they’re lying, or have literally no idea whats going on in their platform because the outrage after that surprised literally no one but them, it seems.

haha, what. You can disagree with their take on things, but to accuse them of taking money from Epic for good coverage is absolutely ludicrous. These are the guys that are blacklisted by Bethesda for unfavorable coverage, and have done numerous deep dives into serious issues in the industry.

But yeah, because they…

I’m already seeing the comments, so let’s be clear about something here:

“Cancel Culture” did not kill Alec Holowka. We don’t yet have the full picture of how he died, but it sounds as if he died by suicide, and had been suffering from a host of psychological and personal difficulties prior to that final, tragic act.

No…

To all the folks whining about how long this individual took to report her assault, or doing that whilst cautioning the rest of us to “wait for more facts to come out”:

Exactly. “Thank you for keeping this game off my backlog” is my response. Oh, and “Thank you for clueing me in to who 3D Realms are so I can be sure to avoid anything they touch moving forward.” 

Removing something from your own work that you feel do not stand by is, just saying, not fucking censorship. It’s called editing! Ya know, that shit that you do in order to create a good work?

Okay as someone who is actually gay, it’s going to take a *lot* more than an shampoo bottle to offend me. This is remarkably silly stuff going on. The level geometry thing miiight be a bit much, but honestly I’ve seen much worse stuff embedded by the developers into old Nintendo games. Crass humor isn’t by itself…

Ah, right..”censorship”...the cowards reasoning for accepting and brushing off hate speech.

Cool, that’s one less game I have to play.

Missed opportunity to use Solas

To me it wasn’t that it was soulless. To me it was more the act of playing it was like watching a glass of really good whiskey have water slowly poured into it till the whiskey was no longer visible.

Couldn’t agree more. I was a huge Bioware devotee until Inquisition. Like a LOT of other studios making “RPGs” these days, they got so caught up in making this huge world full of “stuff to do” they forgot to make it “fun stuff to do that advances the plot” and as an end result it feels hollow. I don’t understand the…

Given the major issues Inquisition had, despite its positives, I’m not sure I would call it a fluke. Maybe a sign of things to come.
