Awesome that they didn’t just go full FPS with this, but I have to admit I’m hoping they amp up the sounds of the fighting – the punches sound soft and the recipient of the punch makes nary a sound at all. Even if you’re full of cybernetic implants, you should probably grunt a bit if someone punches you square in the…

Did they get into what the screen does? Seems like they could do plenty of fun things with it, it just says “custom video scenes and events.” I’m not a pinball guy but I know a lot of the machines in the 90s started to get really into minigames on the digital screens, but given that pinball is now a niche, perhaps…

In fairness, $3000 in 1990 would be close to $6000 today (even more in, say, 1985), and these are probably still largely made by someone’s hands, just not American hands. This also has a lot of details and mechanisms that weren’t common on pinball machines back then.

Similarly, spelling and grammar are just guidelines, write what you feel!

Sadly it appears it just ends up on the floor next to him...

I was only dimly aware of these before, now my interest in piqued (squeaked?).

I’m not detecting your point here. The emerging trend in your 1) is a direct response to the problems you point out in your 2). You may not care for the subscriptionization of gaming, but it removes the incentives for churning out free-to-play crap that is monetized to the gills. I fail to see how a subscription model…

What is even left in your life if you’re capable of pouring so much emotion and energy into something like this? Is this literally all you have? I don’t even care enough about this as an issue to be typing this, so it’s hard to imagine what it takes to make death threats and coordinate hate campaigns against…

Wow, lotta hate for a guy for suggesting he wouldn’t mind an occasional show of appreciation for catching a potentially costly bug while accepting his McDonald’s-level hourly pay. Somehow several people managed to imagine he was asking to “be paid more,” “(to receive) a bonus,” “to get a promotion,” or astonishingly,…

Completely agree. I realize the challenges of filling the internet’s giant gaping content maw, but most articles written about major games are essentially narrative building, for entertainment and click chasing, not an honest and fair assessment of their strengths and weaknesses. Because at the end of the day, I think…

Exactly, and BR players like the ones getting slaughtered have been conditioned to accept that quickly dying again and again is somehow the way of the world, and not an antiquated way of handling differing player skill levels. It’s kind of like wanting to play a pickup game of basketball, but you are forced to play…

Yep. Heather’s argument here is puzzling, and seems like an attempt by someone who really enjoys something to put themselves in the shoes of someone who doesn’t, and missing the point. I do not understand the appeal of BR games in general, a genre in which you are almost guaranteed to lose, get virtually nothing when…

“OMG this is horrible” – The Internet

At its best, Fallout 76 does still have a lot of what made both previous Fallout games and MMOs so involving - it may lack the involving storytelling and deeper content of previous Fallout games, but it has the emergent gameplay possibilities and underlying systems to support a lot of great things in the future.…

Most likely they are better off for not announcing something before they were very, very comfortably ready to do so, given that anything they might have said or shown would then be referenced for future “lies” and “betrayals” if the final product differed or was seen as inferior in any way.

Maybe all the birds wear those as accessories in Water Town...

Doesn’t the MTV Movie Awards already have this covered?

Keep in mind these are kid-sized, even though they are very nicely decorated. For some reason I can’t post an image, but you can see it here: https://www.gamestop.com/toys/arcade1up-rampage/157866

Keep in mind these are kid-sized, even though they are very nicely decorated. For some reason I can’t post an image,…

What a cogent argument! I mean, except that Napoleon Dynamite isn’t a person and that the famous dance from that movie itself drew inspiration from other black dance styles. Keep fighting the good white fight!

Wow, what a buncha haters. “I would literally throw up, punch a hole in the wall and burn down my house in outrage if Nike sent me a free pair of rare basketball shoes that will probably resell for hundreds.” My guess is the rarity of these alone will make them sought-after by collectors.
