Considering Bloom was likely brought in because of his star appeal? I would’ve preferred Heath Ledger, I think. He may have been a little old for the role but would’ve been better.

To be fair, the majority of people who are conservative aren’t white supremacists and vote Republican because of this weeks talking point. My wife’s family is conservative and we have Sunday dinner with them and every time I know well before hand what their discussions will be before we even get there. It’s always the…

Bernie is for policies that the vast majority of the population wants though, despite most people voting against their own personal agenda because of Republican talking points/propaganda. Bernie would’ve worn the socialist title proudly and then explained to people why it’s not a bad thing to provide free health care…

The difference with Bernie is he actually breaks down what he would do as a Democratic Socialist and it’s wildly popular things. I know it’s a few years ago, but he went into one of the deepest red states and told people about the policies he wanted to enact and practically everyone was for it.

No, there are shortages because they were more concerned with getting their product to market more than providing a reasonable amount of the product considering the demand. Scalpers are simply taking advantage of the situation brought about by a company more concerned with making money than caring about who they sell…

I agree that the primary mistake is that they revealed too much of a character that was clearly originally designed to allow the player to project onto. And I agree that we need more developed female protagonists, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have more options in our games in terms of characters, especially…

Right, we don’t need a male counter part to Aloy or Lara Croft, because we already have an abundance of male protagonists. We need more female protagonists because they’re massively under represented in video games as actual human beings and not just eye candy.

This is something so overlooked when it comes to dealing with relatives who are lost in right wing conspiracies. The moment you start asking them deeply about their beliefs is when they start to break things down logically instead of just accepting everything they hear on talk radio for truth. Engage with them, it…

You’re obviously missing his point that this is one of many things that point to corner cutting in this game. I think people are just getting tired of all the defending of the developers going on with this game when there are some glaringly either bad decisions or lack of development in some areas.

My point was more that CDPR has projected this image that they’re different than every other major developer, and with this they’ve clearly proven that they aren’t.

But would you defend Ubisoft or Activision for doing the same, or are they up for criticism because they’re more financially successful?

They change the rating year to year because technology improves?

Isn’t what you’re alluding to a bit conspiracy theorist? I mean, have they done something to make you think they don’t deserve to be taken at their word?

“The fact of the matter is that the ends don’t justify the means.”

Here’s your problem, no one is claiming those company’s shouldn’t be criticized for doing the same. Because guess what? They were.

This is a complete fallacy. The vast majority of gamers don’t do any sort of research on a game outside of looking at a handful of review scores, which a lot even don’t do that. Just because you have the capability to do this doesn’t mean other people do it nor should they be required to when the marketing literally…

Yet it also pushes the technology to the point where it becomes a standard, therein cheaper. It works both ways here, and I’d argue the side that pushes for safety standards to be improved as the technology itself improve are the ones on the “right” side here morally.

That’s about technological progress and it’s exactly what should be done. Cars accelerate now faster than ever yet they’re supposed to keep the same safety standards from 15 years ago despite all the progress technology has made on it? Bullshit.

This is the problem, just because it’s cheap doesn’t mean that it should be allowed for any accident over 40 mph to equate to serious injuries. The whole point of technological progress is supposed to make things cheaper as they become more common, not skimp on shit to sell cheap cars to countries that don’t care…

Plenty of companies also release games that aren’t in this kind of state, hence why they don’t have to issue refunds. And don’t kid yourself, this is 100% a publicity stunt in order to save face. If they truly cared about fans of the game they would’ve released the game in a reasonable state and been completely open…
