Man, when I got out of the loot grind loop, it was like stopping smoking... I couldn’t understand how I ever enjoyed it in the first place. It’s so completely artificial. You know those ads for mobile slot machine games with billions and trillions of “dollars” in payouts? Every single one is the same, just with bigger…

It’s weird to think DA:I really was a big hit, I remember it as the game that first turned me off Bioware (ME:A finished me off). They’re trying to do other people’s systems with their IPs. I don’t get it... who was asking for a Dragon Age with as many quest icons as a Ubisoft game? At least there were some good story…

Yeah, just hopping on to say that this was a huge thing where Blizzard made a concerted effort to rework the endgame completely to make it great instead of terrible. I’m not sure how anybody who was around back then could remember that as just removing the RMAH. Diablo III had big problems at launch and they fixed…

Yeah, for sure, it hurts OW1. But honestly, it had gotten to a point where just keeping slowly evolving the game wasn’t doing it anymore. Coming out with all of these changes at once in a new game could bring so many old fans back and new fans in. I think it’s worth it.

I’m surprised by people’s reactions, I actually got everything I wanted from this presentation + the big Jeff interview (saw it in IGN, not sure if comes from there). There is a huge amount of new content in the sequel. Most of the apparent stuff is in PvE and story, which is cool and all, but the big thing is they…

Oh for sure I understand why you might not enjoy it! When you said you didn’t get it, I thought you meant you didn’t understand the appeal at all, not that it didn’t appeal to you personally. That’s why I tried explaining it, but for sure it’s not for everyone.

What don’t you get about streaming exactly? Just curious, 44M here and I only started watching Twitch in the past 4 years, but if you’re a gamer it’s pretty simple... you start by watching random streamers play games you like and you come back to the ones you like. After a while you have your favorites and there can…

My favorite Hitman new level experience:

Maybe I read you wrong? When you say “any disappointment should be on the players who made the assumption”, didn’t you mean that the players are disappointed because they assumed something which turned out not to be true?

You’re missing the point. People are disappointed because they wanted somewhere new to play around and this is a new location they won’t get to play around in. Whether or not there was hype is beside the point. If Rockstar had somehow manage to keep this under wraps and surprised everyone with it, people would have…

Do you actually think SCUF controllers are that good? Mine was a mess, thumbsticks wore out within a couple of months, paint chipped off, buttons stopped working... I have 4 regular DS4s and none of them had a quarter of the problems my SCUF did. Customer service experience dealing with all of these issues was…

I bought it on sale and I’m having an immersive single player experience right now. Haven’t been attacked by another player once in about 20 hours of gaming. Happened upon a couple of really nice camps they created though, which felt at least as fun as scripted surprises you encounter in the single-player games. Deep,…

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being involuntarily celibate, but being part of the incel subculture implies blaming women for it and hating them. Those are pretty hateful views.

Same! This one actually has a fairly easy solution, freeze —> slow in PvP. Kind of like Mei’s primary fire without the final freeze state. Not sure if enemies have stasis powers too, but if not it doesn’t even have to break the lore, just make it that guardians have resistance to stasis powers.

I agree with Hijakkr, this is different. This is losing giving you an actual, not perceived, advantage. If you were asked to pick before the stage if you want to play the winner or the second place team in the next stage, you’d pick the second place team. But you’d never pick to be seeded in the quarters instead of…

Maybe dangerous instead of shitty? Like, it’s totally misguided and can kill innocent people, but regular anti-vaxxers think they’re just saving their kids from evil pharma. But anti-vaxxer leaders are definitely shitty money-grubbing mass killers.

People thought the teams you mention were stronger than the APAC teams because of their better records. But I think they had a better record because they got to beat up on the bad NA teams, not because they were stronger. APAC teams had no bad teams to beat up on, so most ended up with average records and seemed…

It’s weird, I thought all season long that the APAC teams were much stronger than the NA. All the bad teams seemed to be in NA and I thought apart from Shock and maybe Fusion all the other teams were just getting good records beating up on the bad teams.

That’s such a weird comment. Have you never watched any sports at all? Have you never been in a taxi with the radio turned to the obsessive overreacting wanker call-in show after their baseball/football/soccer/whatever team has lost?
