As you say, you’re speaking from the seat of your own experience. Speaking from the seat of my own experience, I’d largely agree with you.

But this isn’t about people like you, or me. We represent a much smaller slice of the market than we’d like to pretend we do, what with our disproportionately visible voices and all.

The awesome Ask A Game Dev Tumblr covered this recently.

Maybe Tito Ortiz should stick to what he’s best at: freestyle scooting.

Right, but that’s more about the concept of diminishing returns. Once you push things to the point that the average person with an average setup can’t tell a difference, which we’ve been rubbing up against since the end of last console generation, there’s only so much plainly overt stuff you can do.

Are you actually this small-minded? If it’s the final event, and it’s being advertised as such, they have to anticipate the largest-ever swelling of playerbase. They have to anticipate for literally everyone who’s bought a copy to participate, regardless of if that actually happens. That’s not something you treat like…

Considering last-gen remasters date back to the Microcomputer era, started showing up on consoles in the NES era*, and that they’ve persistently existed on every single platform ever since, don’t get your hopes up for them ever not existing.

Pretty sure a Pentium III with a 3DFX Voodoo2 could handle what you’re asking for, Minecraft wise.

It’s almost certainly a marketing trick, yes. Especially as Windows 10 has way more features that allow MS to make extra $$, whereas 7 in particular doesn’t. The additional potentially salable (and/or internally beneficial) usage tracking, advertising on Start menu tiles, Windows store integration, and probably at…

You paid 99 cents for a song. Usually, you have to pay a lot more than that to get public performance rights, which is one of the things (but not necessarily the only thing) you’re technically guilty of in such a video. Whether or not you make money is irrelevant- just because you don’t doesn’t mean someone else won’t…

“Bethesda has all but turned its back on PC gaming unfortunately”

Will this be the most overdramatic observation in this thread? Probably not, but likely a strong contender.

Practical, as in not just for fun. It can be more than one thing, in addition to being enjoyable. Certainly, I’ve had skill improvements in non-shooting related activities that can be directly tied to sport shooting I’ve done, mostly involving timing, threat identification, and overall accuracy of long-distance…

I considered making this clearer in my post but didn’t want to risk adding an additional loose thread one could pull on. Originally, I’d thought about writing it as something like “never point a gun at anything that you don’t wish to destroy” in order to cover both living and non-living objects as a shot piece of…

As gets pointed out every single time someone pretends that they’re making an actual cogent argument with that ridiculous one-liner, guns are MODOKs.

WE3D, duh.

This is the best and most accurate comment so far.

Yeah, it’s almost like gaming is mainstream now.

did you really want more of the exact same? i mean that whole faux-80s lasercheese thing is pretty played out at this point, across every form of media. kind of surprised such as Moonbeam City even existed, for example, as the style was already played out at least a year before it ever aired.

Why would it matter if it was “wrong” to want that? Would you feel embarrassed/bad/weird if it was? Is being “right” (as opposed to a binary “wrong”) about subjective things important to you? If so, why?

It’s an absolutely asinine thing to ask for in a game like this, sure, but there’s no moral quandaries or similar…

Nope! What you’re talking about was acknowledged within that post.

This doesn’t contradict anything I wrote. It’s a different experience, as you say.
