I have found as I age that I find more challenging or even complicated games less and less appealing. When I was younger I’d have been happy to spend all the time figuring out mechanics and dying over and over without really getting anywhere, but at a certain point as you get older your relationship with free time…

Stuff like this is why it is best to wait to buy a hotly anticipated AAA game. Chances are it was rushed to meet a release date and in need of patches to fix bugs and DLC to implement ideas they didn’t have time for.

What are you talking about? A bad situation? If this shit goes real south and someone gets seriously hurt, WWE will just do one of those things where all the talent stands under the titantron looking sad during Raw while a video tribute airs and then pretend it never happened.

There probably is no conspiracy, but if there is, Trump isn’t getting conned, he’s making out like gangbusters. Making the media report on how Trump is willing to risk military confrontation with Russia is a great way to distract from the investigation into his ties with Putin’s government.

Lemme ask you a question, if you come across a burning building and don’t have a fire hose, do you grab a can of gasoline and throw it in through the window from a safe distance? No, but that’s exactly what these bombing campaigns are

Check back in 6 months when this civil war will still be going on. Assad will still be killing his people and, on top of that, we’ll have probably killed a bunch of his people too and will likely be continuing to do so.

Yes. I am sure this time the airstrikes will promptly lead to a diplomatic solution.

Yeah, better that we rip them to shreds

Exactly. The Jaguar was a super powerful console back in its day too, but with a weak lineup of games, nobody bought it

I dunno, I’ve had xbox loyalty the past two generations, but I honestly regret my Xbox One. I ended up building a PC and investing in a Steam Link and do most of my couch gaming that way. The Xbox One is more of an expensive Netflix machine (and actually, I can do that with the PC too), there’s just nothing on it I…

Yeah that’s fair. I guess I was more talking about recurring controversies about the dialogue of trans characters in RPGs in general, piggybacking off of Patricia’s comment on RPG characters getting real personal real quick.

I think, like most things with writing, it depends on the character and situation. I’m a cisdude and clearly don’t speak for all trans people, I couldn’t do that if I was trans. That said, I have definitely met trans and gender non conforming people who told me their gender in the first conversation and talked about…

Not when he says diversity is the problem

And many of them are the ORIGINATORS of the name

And in the past both companies have had really rocky experiences with “legacy” characters. Sometimes they work, more often the original comes back.

Yep, small group of mostly the same folks. Basically the story is they reacquired the rights a few years back, tried to do a Kickstarter to fund a complete modern remake but failed. So instead they are rebuilding the game with polygons, new voice acting and better sound in the hopes of raising money for a proper…

It is more or less the original game. More of a heavy remaster than a full remake. New gameplay elements will be few and far between and this is mostly a significant graphical update with new sound and voice acting. The biggest change is that the entire game is being rebuilt in more modern polygons in place of the…

Correction, it looks pretty fantastic for a game it’s age and the update over the original is pretty incredible really. But yeah, you can tell it is a heavily remastered older game, not something that is being built from scratch

Well, according to many people who actually HAVE autism, Autism Speaks’ attempts to wipe people like them from the face of the Earth are the actions of a hate group

WTF are you talking about?
