...because they invited him on their livestream which in part encourages and promote his behaviors..?

No one’s surprised about that; the surprising part is the absolute inaction from Rare and even the fact that they invite said streamer straight on their official livestream

Normal doesn’t mean it’s ok nor that it should be this way; it’s mostly this way because the behaviors push back a lot if not all players who’d enjoy competition/pvp in a healthy, respectful way.

If you can and enjoy trash talking and grieving, you’re not that nice at all, period. It takes a special personality to…

It only ever works for me by playing with friends and muting other team’s chat altogether, all the time.

The capitalism of a country (or multiple) can and will probably affect the system of another country, considering a lot of very rich people do abuse poorer countries or poorer people.

The incentive of capitalism works for people who yearns for power or “independency” or materials or w/e. But if you only yearn for what…

Path of Exile has proved you can have a LOT of choices that works and gives a very different feel and gameplay;

Not saying D4 should have that, but when done correctly, lot of choices work and is pretty stimulating.

D3 was very limited, especially in the support/party area imo. Making a support character in Path of…

so...what if I play all of em ? Yes, I get bored too easily

Yeah, that was weird, especially for non-american

Same as you: I liked Bastion; I played Transistor, but didn’t really care; I didn’t play Pyre.

Hades, though, is amazing.

You sometimes get some ridiculously powerful and satisfying setup of powerups that makes you an absolute powerhouse.

Hades is worth it, really. The game expect you to die at first, but it’s integrated in the story, in the dialogues, etc. They’re not useless, punishing deaths. The game tries to give you runs so you can…

It’s not just creative; they’re creative people in a leadership/management position, which I believe is something entirely different...

I think it’s more an issue with people (or men) with too much power/responsibilities/veto over something (or being over-praised, if that’s even a thing)

They hides their own flaws and…

You decided that her saying that word was worse than many things I’d find REALLY worse than that in somebody.

I hope you understand how you might be closed to the idea that it’s not always that big of a deal depending on the context...

Man, I can’t figure out how to delete a comment XD

This, so much.

These viewers -want- drama/involvement. There is plenty of genuine stuff on Twitch if you want to find it, very far from the drama and actually humane.

Imagine fanboys/girls fantasizing about a celebrity or music band. They identify themselves with that interest/fantasy, and they feed on it to cover boredom/low esteem.

Then imagine a situation where that fantasy breaks. (exemple : your favorite band has been copying another since the beginning)

It shatters their…

Dude, I would be in awe to see a deep analysis of Sekiro, just so I could celebrate again how absolutely fantastic that god damn game is/was.

I’ve begun to be so passionate about games that I’m not sure how to share it (especially in my real life social circles), and Kotaku has great for that in the past...

I miss…

I dare say the issue is a bit deeper... Some (many) people have low self-esteem or/and feels a solitude they either don’t want or can’t cope with.

Falling into obsession and deny has been a “successful” way of coping with life for many, and that has been the case for a very long time, imo.

I think many of these people…

I have definitely more issues understanding the viewers’ interest in it than anything else...

I mean, these youtubers are just profiting off viewers’ absolute obsession with their “idols” or drama or whatever we wanna call it.

This comment section is a mini-representation of how drama attracts interaction and interest...

I wish I could etch that comment into all of these viewers’ mind.

I have and still sometimes get obsessed with some individuals. I acknowledge it, and I’m fine with feeding on these obsessions when they happen, as long as it bothers no one.

Masocore... I don’t know. I feel like it doesn’t do much justice to why these games are difficult in the first place.

When I played Sekiro, I was absolutely hooked. Some of the most amazing boss fights (Genichiro, for instance) left me in absolute awe. It doesn’t feel like masochism to me. It feels like being really…

Honestly, people gotta stop trying to be too objective with those definitions...

It’s much more a matter of how it feels than anything else. Souls games’ difficulty is paramount to the immersion, the experience. It’s not even about it being hard or masochist, it’s just about it being challenging enough to keep you…
