The problem with tier lists, and I think this gets to what you’re saying, is that most of their value lies in the higher ends of competitive play. The vast, vast majority of players of any game aren’t in the most rarefied echelons of competition where the most granular differences that determine all but the most…

I understand the point of this article, and I agree in a lot of ways. Tier lists can be subjective and are often disputed heavily. However, and I can’t speak to other genres like mobas or fps, fighting game tier lists are based on hypothetical match-ups.

That’s a paddlin’

If your reasoning for something boils down to “yeah, well who’s gonna stop me?” chances are you’re just a bully.

Organized sports has decided (or at least pretended to), that being a bad sport will get you punished, no matter how skilled you are.

So I only have to repeat the same heists for 40-50 hours to buy the 8 million dollar yacht? What a deal!

Oh, you’re absolutely correct. They’re making billions with the Shark cards, no way they’re going to deviate from that. And we have the same to look forward to in every game they release from now on.

You are correct. It’s not limited

At least it gives us a hint about what route RDR2 is going to take. I’ve already decided on a hard pass. Might just go buy some used XBOX360 GTAIV and play an actual decent game for once.

Fuck GTA Online and what it has ultimately turned into.

I’d rather have a paid expansion for single-player. Fuck the multiplayer, it’s full of hackers and trolls. But that’ll never happen, because R* is a dick. (The fact that they censor the name of the company in chat says it all.)

And yet cheated on his wife.

So the dude who made a name for himself being an asshole to people in online games turns out to be an asshole in real life?

“I’m taking time off to work on personal problems” would have been sufficient.

Taking a break to focus on his own issues and his family is definitely the right thing to do. That said, I hate when people make mistakes and then say “it’s not who I am.” Dude, it may not be who you want to be, but it absolutely is who you are or you wouldn’t have done it. That said, he definitely seems genuinely…

It’s similar to CryEngine but has some features missing, and that “different name” piece is huge when part of their agreement was to advertise CryEngine, not Lumberyard. Even still, if it’s defined as a different engine, even if it has extremely similar source code, it’ still a different engine, and therefore would…

This exactly. I sat up out of my chair when I saw that. They are top tier Big Law, and they do not mess around with bullshit claims. A flimsy contingency case for a piece of $200 mill is not something I can see them going after. I kind of want to read the complaint now.

Except that Star Citizen has enough money to finish the game.

Gotta wonder which one is the bigger bubble right now: the stock market, bitcoin, or Star Citizen.

Is Star Citizen the most successful video game scam ever?
