To the defense of Ubisoft, Blood Dragon was based on part of Far Cry 3's map. Far Cry Primal is the entire Far Cry 4 map. That’s alot of new textures and new models to make, not to mention an entire new “beast mastery” system, and other new mechanics added into the game.

SHUT UP! Enough already, Tavarish! Who cares about Aston Martin, anyway? The company has only one design, for Christ’s sake! DB11? Vantage? Vanquish? They’re the same design! Doesn’t anybody notice this? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!

I completely agree with you. Murder has intention to kill someone. This should be three counts of manslaughter. It was a horrible accident and truly is a tragedy, but locking someone up for life for driving like an idiot is just as tragic. This asshole didn’t mean to kill that many people.

DotA is far enough removed from Warcraft 3 that it was always kind of it’s beast - it just used the sandbox handed out by Blizzard to create it. Just like how Team Fortress and Counter-Strike were created using the Half-Life engine, originally, as a mod.

You’re really grasping at straws if all you can come up with is “hurr durr, Blizzard is copying TF2 and DOTA”. Notice how those two games have nothing in common, beyond both being team games. You could go so far to say that it might be like a new genre. Perhaps FPSBA or something. Yes, TF2 and Overwatch are both…

This is what I strongly dislike about the slow culture change in the gaming industry - entitlement. What makes you entitled to take a game, play it, and then determine if you want to pay the hardworking individuals that made it? You don’t go to a restaurant and eat the food then determine if you want to pay.

I’ve always felt like the best way to handle hacking is to give it an indepdent environment to thrive in. Like you said, plenty of the people that hack are just genuinely curious how things work and like tinkering. There’s nothing wrong with a little reverse engineering for the sake of knowledge. Of course, this leads…

People give World of Warcraft shit all the time for having outdated graphics (even though the art direction and style is still top notch), but no one seems to give it the acclaim it needs for it’s soundtrack. FFXIV just reminds me how much better WoW’s soundtrack is to this and it’s what helps the game not feel as…

The real question is why would it matter? If the shit hits the fan, it’s not going to be because North Korea launches a nuclear missile at South Korea, or hopefully not at least. It’s going to be through attacks on their civilians, a breakdown in communication/failure in negotiations, or whatever reason Kim Jong Un…

Makes sense that GM would want a rear view mirror/camera. How else are you suppose to see out of a Camaro?

Maybe they took a page out of Blizzard’s ancient tome and they will just give you content as if it were included with the original price of the game - i.e. you buy Diablo 3 and you get extra content patches for free.

Maybe I’m just more prude when it comes to relationships and sex, but I think getting drunk and having a one night stand when you are in a steady relationship with one person and you both have agreed to be monogamous is absolutely indicative of a bigger issue. It seems like a lack of respect for your partner.

You do realize that all FPS games are fundamentally the same, right? You do realize what “fundamental” means, right? Generic mechanics used between multiple games does not constitute as “copying”.

Overwatch isn’t a carbon copy of Team Fortress 2. I don’t remember the Sniper having an “ultimate” where he shoots a dragon out of his Huntsman. Nor do I remember TF2 having the mobility of Overwatch, save for the Scout and maybe the Soldier. Most of the classes have very different play styles than their commonly…

No. Just...No. The entire reason why the knob is there is to not distract or divert your attention from the road, or arrange your driving position in an awkward lurch forward. It’s a design detail I very much appreciate. I can easily put my hand on the center console and change radio station, open the traffic map,…

I typically avoid making broad generalizations like that, but to each their own.

I would argue against that women are held to a higher standard than they were in the 50s, for example. It is socially acceptable for women to dress similarly to men - that is pants, namely. However, women are still held to a higher standard than men in similar industries when it comes to dress, which is disheartening.

No, the lesson to be learned is to not drive in or around Dallas. I’ve lived here my entire life and there is not a single other state or city I’ve been to that hosts such awful drivers.

I always felt like Scion could have been very successful but Toyota was too cowardly to do it. The xB is the counterpoint to your xA analysis. While the xA was boring, uninspiring, and sold poorly, the xB was fun, quirky, bold, and sold well for a relatively unknown company. The tC was their attempt to combat Honda’s…

Actually, it was made to mock the people while demonstrating their hypocrisy. There are plenty of ways to show their hypocrisy, but the purposefully ridiculous argument of a spaghetti monster is definitely a move to mock the Creationist. The entire movement oozes with sarcasm, not that it doesn’t have reason to.
