Why, after seeing these uniforms, am I suddenly hungry for McDonalds?

No, no, no. You misunderstand. Respawn to me is pretty much the culmination of all things I hold dear about gaming. I want them to be an EXCEPTION to the EA rule of becoming garbage. I want them to continue to make original games with controls that are like having the console plugged into my head. I want amazing maps,…

“full of sound and fury signifying nothing”

I kept reading waiting for it to circle back, to question whether “is joke racism okay?” or “are internet vigilantes bad?” or “are young people that make foolish choices self-accountable?” (they fucking should be) and yet I never got that (though admittedly I was glazed over…

I look at this as the shadow of what’s to become of Respawn. Every time I am passionate about the games and methods of a developer, they manage a successful game, and get bought by a big publisher, and -more times than not- everything goes to shit. DICE may be the only example I can think of that continues to make…

Any travel at all in HZD was an absolute chore. Each new mission was 100 miles away. I don’t think I ever made it out of the second area I hated the travel so much. My friends told me to use Fast Travel and some item that gave you unlimited, but you still had to reach the map points to open fast travel. No thanks.

Holy shit. What timeline are you from, and what is our mission? Clearly you are me from a parallel universe, because I have met exactly zero people that disliked both of these games, and was certain I was the only person.
Now, where should we rendezvous to execute Operation RatingsBomb?

probably 100 hours, but I beat it to 100% and then played the Tier 1 system until it made me play the highest difficulty level which was the definition of unfun (Tier 35, maybe?). PS. the game looks amazing in XBX enhanced mode.

It’s funny to see so many people that have a compulsion similar to yours. It actually surprised me, but it shouldn’t. I have a friend who has scores of unopened DVDs (yeah, THAT long of a backlog) Blu-Rays, and Xbox games.

My problem isn’t playing games I own. It’s finishing them. I bought AC:O when it came out and…

Anyone that thinks the Saints are one of the teams benefitting from the NFL’s favoritism have never watched a Saints game, much less the one versus the Vikings. Let’s not forget Bountygate, something the team was accused of but never proven and it cost them an entire season.

Now look at the times the Patriots have…

Re: Hurtin’ in NC, I’m actually glad this appears to be in NC because I know someone like this. He and the GF seem to be good together, almost to the point of being too comfortable about their relationship in public. It’s ironically a very high school way to act when out in a group. They lounge over each other, paw at…

So Brian - Off topic: How come some posts, like this one, don’t have headlines on the main page? It’s just an image and a partial paragraph with bold text that isn’t a hyperlink. I’ve seen this occasionally over the years and it’s always bothered me.

The other phrase that needs to die is:
“That just isn’t who I am”
Like when people say “I know I punched that other guy in the face, and that’s just not who I am.”
But it is. It’s EXACTLY who you are. What you do when things get difficult defines who you are. You can tell yourself all day that you’re just a mild…

That has got to be the worst photo ever taken of Farrah Fawcett. She looks awful.

I hate to be that guy, but... there’s no way I’m giving some third party access to my Google account. It’s probably bad enough that Google already has access to so many facets of my life. Until Google buys this product, I wouldn’t touch it with a 10 foot pole.

I’m just glad it’s finally released so people will stop saying “Well, it SAYS beta in the name!” every time something doesn’t work right.

That may sincerely be the absolute worst analogy I’ve ever read. I congratulate you for being creative without making actual parallels. Nicely done.

This was $34 at Walgreens on Monday so I bought some crap Gillette for $15 instead. Now today I bought this from Amazon for $17. I REALLY wish I’d have waited.

based on the empty comments, I assume this game may also be a ghost town, but in the event it’s not:

What’s the general consensus on penalty timers? I recall there being some in Overwatch, though it’s pretty hazy. Any game I enjoy, I’m happy to stay engaged and playing even during losing matches. If the game is fun,…

When people ask me why I buy most of my games on console despite owning a gaming PC, I refer them to articles like this. The PC is a great platform for a lot of games. Just not all of them.

They came from all over. They were the veterans of games that were good and left when those games become cliches of themselves. They came together and made two amazing games based on a new IP with an unbelievable level of potential.
