The friendly fire in Magicka was clearly an homage to that scene from Starship Troopers.

Arrowhead Games has a history with friendly fire as core element in their games since Magicka in 2011.

The dev totally didn’t say it the right way but he has a point. The fucking whiners about a balance patch in this game are insufferable. Its been out for like two weeks. Its not like they took away some weapon after two years. Of course they are gonna have to fix some shit once the players get their hands on it. 

Load times aren’t going to be meaningfully impacted because of the NVME drive, last gen consoles were still using slow as molasses HDD’s despite SSD’s being prevalent in the PC world. But look at FF7 Rebirth and you’re forced to choose between a 60 FPS Vaseline screen or being stuck in one of those dreams where you’re…

Pirates are doing *MOST* of the heavy lifting when it comes to game preservation. See also: movies and music

Imagine... An online game struggling to support server loads at launch. Unprecedented.

Rowling is a cunt, just like you.

This is not the annual “star citizen is expensive” article. It’s the quarterly “star citizen is a scam and the creators belong in jail” article. Get your facts straight. Also, I have a bridge for you, send me a PM.

Yeah smurfing is bullshit and should not be tolerated.

Some British bullshit, pouring tea on your windshield. This is America, get that gun out the glovebox and shoot the snow off. 

I’m sorry a PC owner stole your boy and/or girl. That must have been really painful. Luckily you have your console to cuddle at night.

Starfield was not ghosted, it wasn't deserving. 

kinda glad that Terraria is on the list as #13 - while not top 10 - damn has that game been one of the best games ever

I know most of the Minecraft community is 10 or younger, but I am beyond frustrated at the fact that the most-useless mob-enabled addition was voted into the game. The crab mob fundamentally improved QOL and abilities by enabling you to place blocks further. It would have sped up building in both Survival and…

Ah, a man of culture.

So, adjusting for inflation minimum wage in 1996 was also much higher than it is today so customers had more purchasing power, and the market for video games was a fraction the size of what it is today with much fewer paths of revenue (dlc, microtransactions, marketing deals, etc.). You’re crying foul of people…

We really need to stop acting as if porting to a lower end console is somehow some low effort. It usually isn’t, and I’d argue that it takes a greater effort to work within the Switch’s limitations.  Because honestly, I see that vid and I’m more impressed at the technical wizardry to get it onto the switch in the…

The amount of justification and apologetic attitude towards a game built by a large studio with decades of experience and now Microsoft cash is just weird.

Everyone has a “hate boner” because they have earned one at this point, Bethesda game studios has not put out a game without issues for a long time, and needing Moddershall to fix your shit over and over is lazy development (some Bethesda games years apart have had the same bugs)

That’s fine, Elder Scrolls needs a massive shake up anyways. I think that Skyrim being as popular as it was runs the risk of sending the wrong message. Skyrim really watered down Bethesda’s already fairly anemic approach to “roleplaying”.

An idea I’ve had for the series since Oblivion was to not just play as one hero,…
