RDR HD-ier Remaster, confirmed.

It actually reminds me a bit of Shadow of Mordor, although sadly without the fantastic Nemesis System.

Our Bright Shining Beacon on the Hill: Part 2 - Pay $250 or so every year, give or take, for better controllers. Because...progress!!!

You mean someone wrote a series of books for pre-teens that was painfully, deliberately edgy & pulpy?

“I’m an adult - TELL ME WHAT TO DO, VIDEOGAME!”

Yeah - I mean, criticism aside, it’s never like I actively wish for ideas to do poorly. I just consider what the possible reality-hitting-hype ramifications could be. Maybe I’ll be wrong and VR changes everything! I just have heavy doubt - moreso, considering even its most vocal cheerleaders have backed away immensely…

I like the cut of your jib!

same - you’d think this would’ve happened in the toys-to-life apex

I don’t think I would, considering the team responsible for the original games is scattered to the wind (or still at Insomniac).

I completely understand that now.

I don’t know if it’s because I just woke up or what, but I found this very adorable.

I apologize. I just saw your examples and thought the only reason someone would try to compare all of that to VR is to construct some proof that VR is just like HD/smartphones, when it really isn’t, in order to win. Otherwise, none of those of those examples really relate to each other, so why use them?

I don’t get it - people bemoan the state of discourse in this world as everyone just screaming, that small, bite-sized ‘news’ and information is slowly making us all dumber...

I won’t deal with you getting off topic. I’m more than happy to type out 500 words on the actual subject.

In an article titled ‘what gaming things are you too old for’ I don’t think about the state of MLP and its fans. So, making this assumption that my distaste for Gamers ignores fanaticism as a whole is derailing, intentional or otherwise. I won’t deal with it.

I think one thing Gamers and tech fetishists fail to realize is the practicality of VR vs. all the other things they point to as ‘see, no one knew they wanted THIS either’

Yeah, but it’s how we sensationalize things to give it an added allure, or to keep a thing’s existence in the collective mindshare, that’s the ‘re-hyping’ not “man, I can’t wait to die from VR! I hope today’s the day!”

Aw man, I can’t wait to have all my senses cut off from reality because you told me that’s the only way to consume games!

Given that VR is hyper expensive, and even the most vocal cheerleaders have seemed to cool off on this tech fetishism (Gamers getting super hyped and immediately abandoning something? WHAT, NO. NO.), I doubt it’s worth it to try and re-hype the fad by crying, “it’s a matter of time before someone dies lololol”

Or maybe, just maybe, this is why we should’ve steered clear of the ‘everything’s free’ race to the bottom.
