It’s not unfair for hardcore players. Hardcore isn’t meant for a first time play through of a game and learning the bosses. if you intend to play the first time on hardcore you should be prepared to die often when you don’t know boss mechanics.

It's actually a lot harder to not only write the lore and place tidbits on description info but create equipment that's relevant for that lore. Every piece of lore on an item is on an item that is relevant to that piece of lore. And you think that's easier? 

The entire point of providing lore the way they do is not just to make you work for it but also to mimic real life. I mean, do you think we know of Napoleon because he wrote a book all about his life while being completely objective? No, we learn through passed down word of mouth and writings by multiple people of his…

It’s deliberately obtuse much like how history is in reality at times. That’s the entire point, that you learn of the lore similarly to how history is learned, through word of mouth and written text instead of someone just flat out telling you the story through a cutscene. It's all to make you work for the lore and is…

This is something so easily forgotten for some reason despite Sony’s online service being down for months. 

The craziest part is that with all they try to do to help the homeless to keep them out of the way, it's cheaper to simply put them in designed homes for the homeless. 

That’s what is so frustrating about the Dems. They’re basically being handed moderate voters so they’ll keep chugging along doing what they’ve been doing instead of trying to make real, beneficial changes for people that matter. All while claiming the reason they need to is because of fear of Republican voters calling…

Like you said, he’s supposed to be Trump without the Trump, but as soon as he opens his mouth about anything actually relevant in policy he has no idea what he’s talking about and has zero charisma. I truly cannot wait to see him and Trump on a debate stage just to see this sanctimonious asshole get torn to pieces by…

Sub mode only, slow mode, moderators, or flat out ignoring chat completely is how you go about avoiding these people. I’m not even saying what they’re doing is right, I despise belittling people because of their choices. But we have to remember, even someone like GirlfriendPlays, who I’ve watched for nearly a year…

Here’s the thing though, they’re not “just playing a game”, they’re actively choosing to play a game on a platform where they can profit themselves from it. That platform allows users to voice their opinions to those streamers. Further, there are a multitude of options for streamers to avoid these people while still…

This is exactly the point that needs to be shouted into the author’s face. Buying and playing the game is one thing, streaming it on a platform that allows others to voice their opinions while you do so it a whole other concept that needs to be realized here. This is essentially people deciding to go and sit in the…

Firstly, the suggestion that you can’t voice boycotting a game while also phoning your congress-person is laughable.

Exactly. The whole bullshit about ethical consumption is purely a means to avoid having to defend a decision to purchase this game and support bigotry. This is the exact type of nihilism that has supported bigotry since existence.

This expectation that a game should be supported and added to well beyond its release date is just absurd and actually causing issues for small developers. Steam is full of negative reviews from people upset that a game is no longer supported regardless of how long ago it was fully released.

This can’t be stated enough. Cruz and those like him are smart enough to know how to manipulate people to get enough votes, and that’s all they care about. Greene and Boebert are genuinely stupid to the point of being incapable of doing anything but spout nonsense that even their voters don’t understand at times. Cruz…

I get why they mention Game Pass but making it so much of a focus as though they’re as responsible is just absurd and trying to make something out of nothing. If this was a PS5 exclusive would they be doing the same to Sony? Hint: they shouldn’t.

I don’t get the need to incorporate Game Pass so much in this article. Particularly when it comes to their tweets. It’s like you’re trying to hold Microsoft accountable when they’re not responsible in any way...

The scary part is that’s literally what she was suggesting at the damn memorial service. Right beside Trump as he skirts that fine line of not disagreeing with the anti vaxxers so they love him while still touting that he helped get the vaccine made so quickly.

You’re conflating the issue with the whole cost of making a game rising. They’re currently making DLC for Factorio. They’ve sold 3.5 million copies of Factorio. Why do they need more money from a game released 2 years ago, and how do they plan to get more income from it by increasing the price instead of lowering the…

The difference is the video game industry has shifted significantly in terms of what it takes to create a game and sell it. In 2000 the developer/publishers would be lucky to make 25% off a game sale due to distribution and retail profits. Now they’re making 70% selling on Steam, for instance. That’s drastically…
