I wish I could say I was surprised by the “IT’S SO DEEEEEEEEEP!” reaction to Bioshock: Infinite (and, hell, while we’re at it, the original Bioshock) and the sheer amount of wordcount the game generated in various thunkpieces...but no.

Couldn’t the same be said about any hobby/pro thing, like gaming? It also has a professional aspect where the “why” is different and the main purpose isn’t the same as the casual scene. I don’t think most people would say you can’t call that gaming though.

it at least probably won’t decide to go all BoTh SiDeS aRe BaD bullshit at the very least. God that pissed me off, fuck the citizens of Columbia, lemme help the Vox round em up and shove em over the edge

I mean, Brian Fargo’s Bioshock Infinite is probably a lot more interesting than Ken Levine’s Bioshock Infinite.

God the MS-Activision merger is something I want to watch completely burn up in the atmosphere.

“Woke” is just assholes’ way of saying “I really, really want to say the N word.”

Companies are regularly bought when successful - indeed it’s the most likely time they get bought.”

THIS.

This is the biggest counter to the “Embracer was trying to be a good steward of struggling independents, lay off” argument. At best, they assumed it was going to be good for their bottom line. That’s how capitalism

Punching a Nazi doesn’t redeem anything. It just makes the Nazi hurt. That’s the point. If you don’t make the Nazis hurt, then new people will think it doesn’t hurt to be a Nazi. Then there will be more Nazis.

Fuck off. The only answer to Nazis is violence. The world decided that 75 years ago.

So are right wing extremists going to come out and protest and review bomb the latest movie for being all “woke” now?

Punching someone is unspeakable, huh.  Extreme pacifism like that isn’t any more morally correct than unprovoked extreme violence is.

Yeah I regret trying to talk to this dude. He sounds like I did when I was 15 and thought reading forums made me a big brain business genius.

Well, they will continue to let 3rd parties access the API and do exactly what they had been doing - just for a much higher price. They are shooting themselves in the foot, just as Twitter has done, not realizing or caring how many of their users prefer using a third-party app.

it might be one of the few times in history thats black and white. They exterminated old people, women and children like they were rats. THERES NO NUANCE THERE. THERES NO “OTHER SIDE.”

From the interview RPS had with CDPR, not only will Phantom Liberty have multiple endings within its own story (unsurprising), but it will bring a new ending to the overall game itself...based on the ending you get within Phantom Liberty.

I still don’t get what you like, as the two things I spelled out seem a contradiction.  Is what you want a dlc that only unlocks after reaching a certain point, or do you want a dlc that is available from the very start?

They’ve said they’ll have an option to skip straight to the beginning of Phantom Liberty with a premade V, just like you could do for Witcher 3's expansions.

Not sure which way you’d rather have it. If you want the dlc to work so that it only unlocks after reaching a certain point, then you run into the possibility of turning on the game and not being able to play it.

Pax Dei feels like one of those “Look at all you can do, but we all know that since it has the ‘community driven’ PvP that it will inevitably devolve into a game of roaming gankers that only ever kill on sigh that end up pushing out those interested in the other stuff” type MMO.
