I think the general consensus among gamers who aren’t entitled twats is that we’d rather have developers not put their health at risk and deliver a game at a pace they’re comfortable with. But you know who can’t wait another 6 months? Investors and executives. Unless they see that sweet-ass spike at the end of the…

Uh, sure, but I’m fairly certain that’s the way the press always says stuff about games being made by the same developer. And that’s the press setting up expectations, not CD Projekt Red themselves.

Ok, so I take it you view musicals/camera perspectives as a sub-genre, while I think of them as a style. Or at least that’s how I understood the differences between our two points :))

Sure, except that’s not a very apt analogy? It being first or third person doesn’t change the genre of the game, which, at the end of the day, seems to be an RPG.

They really couldn’t cook up a better solution to that problem?...

Mass Effect Andromeda wasn’t broken per se, but it was also an incredibly poorly executed game. Either way, the alternative is... what exactly? We just pay up for the game, even though it’s not good, so the studio doesn’t shutter, because EA is near-sighted? You think that would have caused the next game to be better?…

Yeah, because the bajillion games I’ve bought thus far mean I think hard working game developers (which I also am) don’t deserve my money. You forget that just hard work does not a good game make. I’m sure there are a lot of hardworking individuals behind products and companies with crappy business practices, but that…

Or, and I’m just spitballing here, give companies less money for games with shitty monetization, so they feel more pressure to not release games with shitty monetization.

LowSpecGamer is what you’re looking for :)

As cringe-worthy as everything that ejects itself from Pai’s shit-eating grin may be, what I find even more damnable are the people who are doing the, ugh, Harlem Shake, with him.

I somehow got reminded of this guy from a pretty underrated Disney movie. I guess the fact that his name is Strongbear Sweet helped :))

Don’t forget that both you and I are also monsters on the inside, and all it takes is a whiff of power to unleash our inner demons, because, yeah, unbridled power is all that’s keeping us from going to the dark side.

I’m torn, really...

Yes, but can you pull off A+ philosophical sophisms quite like our pal Phox over there? That’s the real question.

Judges for the 2017 edition (which includes pieces publicly released since last year’s show, which explains why some older/future games are represented)

Virtue signalling? There’s not a whole lot I can do against institutionalized and blatant racism in the US, as I don’t live there, and my country has enough problems with racism on its own, ones that I’ve always fought against.

One sentence? I think we’re not talking about the same thing, because this:

His half-assed fauxpology, in which he basically just tries to spin himself as the victim in this, because he was emotional and he had no brakes on the racism train because of that? (which, yes, is in another tweet, although I don’t see how that’s of any relevance)

I like the fact that it says Turd Beach on the headphones, complete with a poop logo. I’m guessing they’re not a big fan of Turtle Beach? =))

Considering this is Valve, they have a habit of implementing something and then backtracking on it when the backlash is too big. So it might go away in the future.
