I’m confused. When did being a contractor mean that you didn’t have to work 40 hours a week? Like, I actually don’t get your point. Contractors agree to their terms. Therefore they simply must accept them, end of story. That’s actually all there is to it. Truly.

You accept this as a contractor. It is known, you agree to it before ever setting foot in the office.

This is how software contractors work. They are mercs. They know they are mercs. Their biggest mistake was not being software people who don’t understand this haha. I’ve worked with such contractors. When they outlive their usefulness they are disposed of!

There’s also a difference between a rebuttal, and a passive aggressive comment about... Nah, you know what, nvm.

I totally agree with everything this person is saying, but at the same time, I wonder if anyone actually cares about any other aspect of these characters than what they look like. It’s a multiplayer esports type of game, I’m sure the designs have some sort of basis to their creators, but how can they amount to…

I never got very far into the first one. I got it on 360, but it played kind of jank: long load times, narrow fov, graphics were kind of ugly. and I just couldn’t get into it. Would try again on pc though. I thought the game was interesting when I read previews

Unfortunately, you sort of have to take on the responsibility as a dev. People will cheat if it’s possible, guaranteed, so you kind of have to be a protector of your players. At the end of the day, if you can stop their experience from being ruined, you must do that, at any cost.

Give us all a break. It is an insult. Everyone can see that. And no, we don’t care that you think we would only say that because we have negative opinions of black people. Stop hiding behind that pathetic disposition. It’s ok that you have a chip on your shoulder about white people. It “just is”, and a lot of things “…

This is just the way software development works. There is a whole industry around refining engineering approaches (AGILE scrum, dev op, blah blah blah, haven’t kept up with it in a few years) that have better efficiency, but crisis scenarios will always happen from time to time. It comes with the field. If you cant…

Is anyone surprised by this? That the PC version of this game plays like a shoehorned port? It’s not a port though, because msoft seems to have just ported the console environment itself (UWP) so they can avoid calling the individual games “ports".

This is 100% true. Which is why people in the industrial world pretty much never want to use new software on day one, still use outdated versions of software all the time, etc. It’s not practical to be a day one adopter of new software, but for entertainment media everyone wants to be a day one adopter! Haha

It’s kotaku man. That’s the only aspect of anything that anyone ever talks about here. Not that it’s that bad, it’s just this community’s “thing” I guess. I’m one of those people who builds fucked up monstrosities in the character creator of any game that allows it, I never pay attention to narratives in games at all,…

You say PC gamers fix things on our end? Do you fox games? Haha, I’m not trying to say you don’t or anything, just curious.

Thankfully there are sensible people like you to teach them to know better. I seriously don’t know what we would do without endless meta discussion of pigs vs white knights...

Honestly, even having this discussion is as pointless as whatever opinion you have about it. It’s a butt. Put it in the game. Leave it out. It is totally meaningless either way. Is this how we pretend that our lives matter? By discussing the minutia of sexuality in games? So what if the character is a sex object. All…

They have been underwhelming more often then not on ps4. But we did get helldivers a while ago, which is really fun. But I have to say Xbox has been better than PS lately.

Comments sections are the worst. I have never enjoyed one, yet I can never not read one if it’s there. We, the readers, are the worst part of the internet. To sum up your bickering: yes, quiet is a sexist, outdated trope from thec early to mid 90's. No, no one cares that you’re sensitive to this. Yes, kojima is a…

Flip the usage of sjw and virgin and the statement is still true. You can be someone who gets laid, respects people, and still doesn’t want to make this article about quiet.

The gameplay itself is great. The story is pretentious bs anyway. And it is a GAME, so I’d say there is a lot to recommend on

No. It’s this site’s version of the ign console fanboy circle jerk. I’ve never felt that ANYONE gets treated fairly by video have writing, so I don’t really disagree with them, I just think there are more interesting things to talk about. After all, it is the internet, someone is going to give you crap no matter what…
