an easy fix to this problem would be to give every player one life, and permadeath

all you had to do was follow the damn gravy train, EA!

if people wanna play 76 and Elder Scrolls Online, fine, whatever, but to me it’s like having your favourite wine, and then one year the producer of the wine decides they’re now a soda company instead. It has the same name. The soda is even made to taste a bit like the wine they used to make. But in the end it’s just…

all endeavours require crunch at critical moments

pretty sure any brawl involving a 2 year old is a drunken brawl by definition, 2 year olds being perpetually drunk on their own lack of anything resembling experience or judgement

doing PR was the unhappiest I’ve ever been in my life, and it’s because your whole job revolves around this: finding the most impressive numbers on a superficial level to cram into corporate braggese, knowing that nobody is going to buy it for a second, but not having anything actually impressive to say in that 25th…

wow! This makes me really want to play mass effect!

I got nearly all the way through ODST on legendary on my first playthrough and then, right at the end, due to some weirdness about how they laid out the menu, I accidentally started a new campaign overwriting my progress, and I fucking never played it again

wow, that’s some writing on the wall if I ever saw any

Kameo was underrated

well, you know, if you want to really get into it, like metaphysically, there’s a reason for everything

am I the only person alive who genuinely thought Rome 2 was absolutely fine? I picked it up after the greater part of all the patching it required so I never witnessed the hot mess it reputedly was at launch, but still, seriously guys, it was the definition of fine. Good, honest, Total War. The series has developed in…

wow, a lot more eye rolling and complaining in the comments than I expected. As a loooongtime Halo player although no hardcore fan, I was REALLY impressed by this gameplay! Lots of punchy, satisfying, cool looking new weapons, that tight, classic Halo movement/combat formula (which is easier lost than refined, I would…

this video, and your deconstructive approach to producing games critique videos in general, are fucking gems, and pretty much the only games content I consume that isn’t ~~~written prose~~~

Conquerers was the definitive edition of AoE2. This is the cashcow edition.

criminally underrated comment right here

This was exactly my reaction. I immediately paused the vid and scrolled down and saw this. I feel seen.

You’re kind of skating over the fact that he’s monumentally dull in every way. A boring, white, boring dude with a boring face living his boring, probably heteronormative character arc in his boring story. He even has the most boring lightsaber colour.

Yep. There are two modes: bland cis white guy with a paint-by-numbers character arc, and asexual queer trans minority. The Star Wars universe has two archetypes, and I wanted the SJW one.
